How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Chapter 51 The Grand Choir (2)

After the performance, the first and seventh groups went up on stage at the same time to wait for the judges' vote.

As a viewer, Luo Xi preferred the performance of the seventh group, "Passionate Life." Although the first group was also excellent, the seventh group had a stronger stage presence. However, it might also be due to the advantage of performing later in the show. After watching the extremely dynamic performance of the seventh group, she almost forgot about the first group's performance.

"We don't know how the performance order was arranged. Could we perform later?"

[041 believes that Luo Xi can rest assured. According to 041's data analysis, your practice of this song was perfect. Regardless of the order, you will create a stage performance that will amaze everyone.]

"What I fear most is that our opponents are also strong, and they've chosen a catchy song... Never mind, just do our best!" If Luo Xi thought any further, she would think about the 5-point deduction that hadn't been resolved yet. In order not to affect her mood, she stopped thinking about it and continued watching the game.

Just like Luo Xi, the judges were captivated by the infectious energy of Group Seven.

Lin Ka was the first to cast his vote, saying, "Both groups performed wonderfully! However, the seventh group impressed me more, so my vote goes to the seventh group!"

When it was Luo Ililee's turn: "My opinion is the same as Teacher Lin Ka's. Both songs, 'Life' and 'Passionate Life,' express the meaning of vitality. The performance of 'Passionate Life' makes you feel the passionate vitality even more."

Huang Rou interrupted Luo Ililee: "But vitality isn't about who makes the biggest moves or who jumps the hardest. The first group's stage performance exudes a positive and uplifting vitality, which is equally moving."

"So you're going to vote for Group 1?" Luo Ililee asked rhetorically.

“Yes, I think the first group should have won; their stage performance was better,” Huang Rou said. “I’m going to vote for the first group.”

"Each teacher gave their evaluation in their own field," host Rong Tian said with a smile, trying to lighten the mood. "So, Teacher Luo Ililee's final evaluation is crucial!"

"I still want to vote for Group Seven."

As soon as Luo Ililee finished speaking, the trainees of Group Seven jumped up happily, their faces beaming with joy. Except for Ming Ning, who remained standing there blankly, his delicate, fair face looking at the ground, maintaining his aloof and fragile elf persona (as Luo Xi thought).

After these two groups finished their matches, the next two groups quickly took to the field.

The next two groups are Group 8, which includes Shen Yunhao and Li Yongxuan, and Group 5, which includes Le Jing and Song Chuchu.

The eighth group's performance is "Chasing You," a love song about one person passionately pursuing another with sincere feelings; it's a lively and energetic dance song. The fifth group's performance is "Do You Need Me?", which describes the confusion and dilemma of whether to leave after falling in love; it's a gentle and soothing dance song.

The fifth group performed first and completed the stage excellently. However, the eighth group had too many members who lacked the necessary skills, and their performance was clearly inferior to that of the fifth group. The judges fairly and impartially gave all three votes to the fifth group.

Lin Ka even criticized the eighth group: "Although the practice time was only ten days, which was indeed very intense, I think you are already elites who have passed the first round of selection. How could you dance like this! The rhythm was off in many places! And you went on stage like this?"

Lee Yong-hyun, as the team leader, bowed politely and apologized, saying, "Due to the team's practice schedule, there were some communication problems... so our practice was very rushed."

The other three trainees lowered their heads, while Shen Yunhao smiled awkwardly, seemingly recalling the chaos of the past ten days.

Luo Xi couldn't help but sigh, "Cooperative practice is really not an easy thing."

"Looking at it this way, we really owe it to Gu Minxing. If it weren't for his mediation, our team would have argued for ages."

After the fifth and eighth groups finished their performances, the staff came to let Luo Xi's group prepare to go on stage.

When Luo Xi and the others arrived, they had already changed into their performance costumes and had their makeup and hair done, so they were just standing on the other side of the stage waiting to go on stage.

The order was originally decided by the team captain playing rock-paper-scissors. When Gu Minxing returned, he apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I lost the game... We have to go first."

"It's alright, it's alright," Liu Jibai quickly reassured her before asking, "Who's on the other side? The one playing rock-paper-scissors must be their captain, right?"

“It’s Lu Yun,” Gu Minxing said.

Before anyone could speak, the staff told them to get ready to go on stage.

"...Let's welcome the third group with 'Wishing You Well' and the second group with 'NoTeNd'..."

"Go for it!" Gu Minxing said earnestly to everyone, and then took the lead on the stage.

Their stage design featured horizontal microphone stands, and they wore modern clothing in a simple and casual style, combining dark and light brown tones. They simply sang in unison, which was refreshing among the many singing and dancing performances.

Rosie followed her teammates and sat down on the wooden chairs, adjusting the height of the microphone.

A light and cheerful guitar intro begins.

Liu Min opens with a narrative-rich, husky voice: "Why are you sighing again, baby? What troubles have you encountered this time? You don't need to hide anything from me, because you know I wish you well..."

“Caring for you has become my habit / I can’t forget you even when I fall asleep / you know you know…” Ning Li’s soft voice unfolded her emotions.

Gu Minxing's clear voice sang: "I want to always be by your side."

Liu Jibai continued, "I wish you well."

Gu Minxing: "Even if I do nothing, just seeing your smile is enough."

Liu Jibai responded to Gu Minxing's voice with a sweet tone: "I wish you well."

"You in the Sunshine"

"you--"

"You, whom I can only long for but never reach"

"you--"

Their voices intertwined, their captivating tones blending perfectly, "You know you know/I wish you well—"

The group sang together, "You know you know—"

"You know, you know—"
