Chapter 827: Chapter 827 Speaking Too Harshly_1
Her face was full of pride, but soon, it wasn’t just her getting a figurative slap in the face, but also the judges present.
Lily Davis had guessed earlier than anyone else which contestant was Hannah, so when Hannah’s singing was more than halfway through, she knew she had lost.
Especially when she saw people in the bullet screens discussing whether the best performer was her, Lily Davis, she felt even more embarrassed.
—It must be Lily Davis, thought I don’t follow her closely, but I know that she’s the most talented on the show.
—Shouldn’t be, though. Lily Davis’ vocal color doesn’t sound like this. This voice, on the other hand, does resemble Hannah Winter’s somewhat.
—Surely not. I’ve seen Hannah Winter’s singing and dancing performances live before, but there’s no way her live vocals could be this stable, right?
—Those doubting Hannah Winter should check out her direct cam shots. She doesn’t claim the center position for nothing. Singing and dancing, her breath control is very stable, let alone now when she’s just standing and singing.
—Please, idol fans, don’t impose your standards on singers. Professionalism is higher among singers; having stable singing and dancing doesn’t necessarily make the song sound good.
—This is definitely Lily Davis, or perhaps Joyous King. I don’t know who Hannah Winter is, maybe I can’t keep up with the times anymore. Are idol fans so arrogant these days?
—Not a fan, but I’ve always loved James Landon’s songs. Those he writes for can’t be bad.
Most of the online discussions were derogatory, but after the final scores were in and Hannah removed her mask, the judges fell into collective silence.
The venue was probably quiet for several seconds before the audience started clapping first.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t good, she was too good, beyond their imagination.
When the audience voted, the contestants were all still wearing masks, so the audience truly voted based on strength, and so did the judges.
Especially the two judges who had been most critical of Hannah also voted for her.
It wasn’t embarrassment but a slap in the face, some even fidgeted uneasily in their seats.
Only James Landon looked as though he had known all along. He had always believed in Hannah’s ability and hoped she wouldn’t give up on singing.
Even if one was on stage and the other off, the two could still exchange knowing smiles with a glance.
In the competition, Hannah’s votes were far ahead of everyone else’s, even breaking the highest vote record since the beginning of the show, and ranked first in the final standings.
According to the rules of the show, if Hannah still leads in votes by the end of the twelfth episode, then she will be able to perform at the largest sports arena in the country.
That was an honor reserved only for the most seasoned and popular veteran singers.
Although Lily Davis was unwilling to accept it, she didn’t make a scene as originally scripted, but instead approached Hannah after stepping off the stage.
With a cold face she said, "Although there’s a lot wrong with your character, your level is indeed above mine."
Having said this, James Landon immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.
The usually quiet and introverted he couldn’t help but rebuke her in a cold voice, "Lily Davis, what you’re saying is too unpleasant."
Lily Davis bit her lip and faced James Landon’s scolding, setting her gaze on Hannah, probably waiting for her response.
In Hannah’s hands was the mask she had used on stage, a beautifully crafted fox mask, extremely lifelike, only the eyes were hollowed out, making it seem as if it had lost all its vitality.
But when Hannah put it on, the mask seemed to come alive in an instant—
