Marriage Concerto

Chapter 22

Chapter 22: The main point is, if you PK IU, you’d lose completely.

After the contracts were signed, the YG representative left. The top four contestants remained seated to listen to the program organizer explain the set up of the finals.

“The four contestants of the finals will be split into two groups by lottery. After the first round of performances concludes, the audience will vote to select two contestants to enter the championship match. Next, the two contestants who don’t receive as many votes will perform again. This time, the judges will vote to chose the competition’s third place winner. Then the two contestants who previously advanced will give a second round of performances. Afterwards, the judges will vote again to choose this time’s Heavenly Voice champion. Any questions?”

Lisa and the others shook their heads. One contestant raised a hand and asked, “In other words, this time I need to prepare two songs?”

“Correct.” The organizer nodded. “Also, this time the program organizers have a requirement for the first round’s performance.”

These words were beyond everyone’s expectations. Everyone looked at her, waiting for her to continue explaining. “The program organizers have made a provision that the first round’s performance must use the song you all sang during auditions. The videotapes of that moment have been saved by the program organizers. Later, the clips will be reedited and played on the big screen to serve as a comparison to your current performance.”

Lisa, “…”

This was simply humiliation play ah! The auditions were originally sung without music, and she hadn’t particularly dressed up. She was simply put… au natural. Not only that, she remembered that Jungkook had even said she was singing karaoke. Would the judges’ comments also be edited in……

The other contestants had the same misgivings as her and everyone started to whisper amongst them themselves.

The organizer spoke again, “Everyone don’t be embarrassed ha. The audition can definitely be considered a dark spot in your past. It will let the audience see even more clearly how much you all have improved over the course of this competition. It will also become a measure to base their vote on.”

These words seemed to make a lot of sense, but the actual result may just be a drop in fans.

However, everyone had to follow the program’s rules. Even though everyone was bitterly complaining in their hearts, they all obediently went to practice.

This time’s training was not like any that came before it. Since this round, each person had an individual training room and practiced alone, no one was able to get close to another contestant’s room.

The program organizers explained not letting their opponents know their level of skill or even the second round’s song was for their own benefit.

But on the other hand, you also wouldn’t know your opponent’s level of skill or song ah. What happens if you chose the same song as another person? Lisa asked aloud the question in her heart.

The program organizers expressed that repeating a song was ok. If two people sang the same song, each one would have a distinct style. They were that headstrong.

Lisa silently went to her training room.

Because she still didn’t know what to sing for her second song, Lisa primarily focused on practicing her audition song. The instructor would come over from time to time to give pointers, adjust the arrangement of the song, and would sometimes even discuss the stage performance topics.
