Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Selecting Songs
"...The selection of songs will start according to class, Class A has priority..."
The one announcing the rules is Jackie Qualls, flanked by other mentors.
James Landon still looks quiet, withdrawn. Today, he’s wearing a hat, making his face even more obscured.
During the explanation of the rules, Jackie’s eyes veer to Hannah several times, his gaze filled with barely contained longing.
He wants to ask Hannah where she has been these days, why he has received no news of her.
But thinking of what his agent said, and the omnipresent camera lenses, he holds back.
His expression regains its usual calm, voice still warm and gentle. His simple suit accentuating his tall stature, drawing surreptitious glances from many trainees.
Only Hannah, seems somewhat bored as she gazes at the fourteen wooden placards erected at a distance.
Written on them are the songs they need to perform this time.
There’s a good five meters distance between the locations for singing and dancing.
The number of performers varies for each song, some have six, others have eight.
The most popular is the dance group’s "Mirror." The original song was a mega-hit from a top international girl group. The show bought the rights and modified it.
When the song was revealed, the trainees were all overjoyed, each of them excited and jumping for joy.
"It’s THAT song, from THAT most popular girl group internationally, too bad they all went their separate ways."
"I know, I used to be their fan."
"Didn’t you know, isn’t Reese Shaw’s girl group their junior? God, I’m so jealous."
"With that being the case, Reese Shaw will certainly be more strict, after all, it’s her seniors’ song, and the girl group Reese was part of also had a cover of this song, and it was quite successful."
Even though the foreign girl group Reese is part of is practically defunct, she still garnered attention from a small group of people when she returned to the country, thanks to her fame overseas over the years.
In the group, Reese was never very prominent. But with the popularity of her sister group, and her unique status as the only foreign member, people gave her due respect.
Upon hearing the trainees’ discussion, Reese puffed out her chest with arrogance, raised her chin, and took the opportunity to introduce the song.
While there are popular choices, there are also unpopular ones. The vocal song "Swan’s Wings" was elected as the least popular, but not because it’s not well-known.
On the contrary, the song is a hit and was originally sung by James Landon.
Unfortunately, anyone who covered it received backlash, the difficulty level was too high, with too many high notes. Whoever sang it would run out of breath halfway through. However, the situation might be a bit better after modifying it for a group performance.
Even before the song selection started, Tiffany Lynch had set her sights on "Mirror." However, Tiffany is from class F and can only wait to see if there would be any slots left.
Hannah is the first one to choose a song.
Based on her performance in the theme song, everyone thought that Hannah would choose a song more suited to her singing skills, but unexpectedly, Hannah chose the "Mirror" group.
One spot was taken.
James Landon raised his head to look at the spot Hannah has taken, his lips pressed into a tight line making his complexion appear even paler. He pulled his hat down, covering his hair.
He seemed a little unhappy.
After Hannah joined the "Mirror" group, it seemed that, because of Hannah’s high popularity, no one wanted to be in the same group as her.
After all, Hannah is too popular.
