Inferior females become internet sensations across the entire galaxy

Chapter 99: Boy Band or Orchestra?

The three who came before us were all the kind of people who would cause trouble.

The teams that came out later were pretty good, at least they were decent.

The composition wasn't particularly outstanding, but the singers' coordination was decent, and compared to those messy pieces, it was listenable.

However, no one was very satisfied.

This is about selecting the top 20, not the top 100!
If it's in the top 100, even if it's just average, as long as it's basically perfect and doesn't have any obvious flaws, it generally won't get a very low score.

But... this is the top twenty.

How could twenty composers selected from so many races across the entire galaxy be ordinary people?
Therefore, the judges and audience became more demanding.

Seven or eight singers had already finished performing, and I hadn't given away many tickets.

So far, no team has received a score of 90 from the judges.

The judges and audience members who attended the event remained rational.
[If the top ten this year don't even get 90 points, that'll be a real joke.]
[No, it's just a song by a band, is it really that difficult? Or are these composers all mediocre?]
[And these singers, all of them supposed to be superstars, what kind of rubbish are they singing?]
[Don't be too harsh, everyone. Three days is probably just too short.]
Yes, my husband and his team only received the piece from the composer this morning. How are they supposed to practice it?
In this situation, being able to memorize both the sheet music and lyrics is already quite impressive.
……

This situation continued until the Finnish master's piece came on, at which point everyone's expressions relaxed considerably.

Compared to other teams, this team can be described as exquisite.

Those who were clamoring for refunds and compensation from the production team for emotional distress have calmed down.

The Finnish team was matched with five male singers.

She only chose one lead singer, while the other four were just backup dancers and occasional harmonies.

To be honest, such results can indeed be achieved quickly, but it's not that easy.

First of all, she can get those singers to willingly follow her arrangements.

After all, with this arrangement, four people will end up as background figures.

They all have the same status and are all after exposure, so who would really be willing to play a supporting role?

There have been instances where singers were forced to cooperate, although singers were reluctant to breach their contracts and leave the show.

But they can cause damage.

Any accidental performance mishap could be enough to punish the composer.

As mentioned at the beginning, singers don't need tickets; they want exposure. If there's no way to achieve a win-win situation, why should they be good people?

This is also why the teams that appeared earlier were so disorganized.

Because no one is willing to be a supporting character.

So it's already quite impressive that such a team could be formed so quickly.

The only flaw was that the four backup dancers weren't very skilled at dancing.

But Finland still received a low score.

The AI ​​judged her to be irrelevant to the topic and therefore gave her a low score.

Even with the support of the judges and the audience, the score won't be raised much.

Jiang Qin had guessed this ending from the beginning. After all, how could singing and dancing be a band? That's called a boy band.

The interstellar people have abandoned musical instruments for too long and have no understanding of bands.

In their eyes, a band might just consist of 3-5 singers, each singing a few lines and dancing.

So far, none of the ten teams that have appeared have used any musical instruments!

To be honest, she felt confident that she had the upper hand.

Even if her team is the last to perform and doesn't have many audience votes, with the scores from the mastermind and the judges, her ranking won't be too low.

And so far, the number of tickets sold has only decreased by 20 million. Finland itself received 13 million tickets.

The other teams combined only got seven million votes.

If the teams that follow are all at this level, then the audience will likely have a lot of tickets left over.

She wasn't entirely without a chance of getting a high number of votes.

***
Time passed little by little.

The show was met with a chorus of boos online.

[Alright, I hereby announce that this round of eliminations is a complete wipeout.]
[A few songs were decent, but far below public expectations.]
[No wonder I've never gotten this theme before, it's so difficult!]
[Right now, I only have some hope for Jones and Jiang Qin's teams; the others don't even register on my radar.]
[Here they come—it's Teacher Jones's team!]
Jones was the 22nd to appear, which was quite late.

He was initially in a heavy mood, but the more he watched, the more cheerful he became. After counting the votes in the audience's hands, he felt that he might be able to win first place this time!

His team took to the field.

Two female singers and three male singers.

Two female lead singers and three males holding... surprisingly, interstellar synthesized musical instruments.

This instrument can be played without any thought.

Each key can produce a pre-set synthesized sound, and after the score is set, the instrument will light up on each key according to the score.

The player only needs to press the buttons according to the lights.

It's a bit like those mobile games from Earth.

In space, these instruments are also played by children.

Few people would bother to play something so childish and mindless.

So when they saw the instruments in their hands, everyone was extremely surprised, and some even suspected that Jones was deliberately being perfunctory.

But after the song ended, the AI ​​gave it a good score.

Tonight's game was the only one that came closest to a 90-point score, with a high score of 85.

There was an uproar.

"Why did Jones get such a high score? Wasn't he on par with the Finnish master's team?"

"Not only that, Jones didn't even lose points for not fitting the theme. You know, all the teams before him lost points."

"It looks like Teacher Jones is going to win first place this time."

"Our empire's composers are truly amazing, hahaha, those people ahead of us couldn't even get 80 points."

"Not necessarily, Jiang Qin is still playing."

As for the other composers, they have been ignored by everyone.

But so far, everyone believes that the top three in the show will be chosen from among Jiang Qin, Jones, Carl, and Finland.

The others are just there to make up the numbers.

With high hopes for a dark horse, this episode has finally come to an end.

The host understands everyone's needs: "I bet a lot of people are waiting for our final team, right?"
Now, let's welcome Ms. Jiang Qin's band to the stage!

Cang Hong, with his wild style; Trant, elegant and handsome; Yina, with her pigtails; Chu Rou, wearing a leather skirt; and Hugh Dean, gentle yet a little arrogant.

Five cool and stylish men and women with different styles made their appearance.

After they stood on the stage, the instruments they had prepared were raised up from the bottom of the stage.
