I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 428: Can you imagine someone singing "Rakshasa Mirage" in a loli voice?

The voting results were handed over to Hairun, but were not announced, for fear of affecting the voting results of the viewers in the live broadcast room.

Moreover, the voting results were handed over to Hairun to prevent any issues with vote counting fraud.

In fact, Ye Xian's scoring system, which was both simple and complex, essentially eliminated the possibility of cheating.

First, each viewer must cast three votes, and cannot vote for the same person. This leads to a great deal of uncertainty in the vote count, and no one can guarantee what the viewer's voting result will be.

Some similar talent shows have used this method, except that at that time, everyone knew the voting method in advance, so fan groups of various contestants began to exchange votes with each other.

Ye Xian just announced the voting method and started the competition. The fan groups and management companies have very little room and time to manipulate things. If things go wrong, it's easy to send other contestants to the top spot.

Secondly, the votes of the five judges are counted separately and sent to the contestants immediately after voting. At this point, not only the judges but also the notary who collects the votes cannot see the voting results. They can only find out how many votes the judges cast by receiving the voting results from the contestants at the final vote counting stage.

Most importantly, the final ranking is determined by adding up the votes from both sides, which introduces too much uncertainty. As a result, many contestants' fans and agents are secretly cursing Ye Xian for being too cunning.

Hairun, holding the voting results, bowed excitedly to everyone before returning to his seat.

The other four contestants looked at the envelope in Hairun's hand with slightly serious expressions. Hairun's performance just now made them feel a little pressure.

Solo, a song with such a powerful presence, is in no way inferior to its performance in a live studio.

As expected, none of the players who made it to the finals were simple.

……

The second person to appear was Ogura Watami.

Watami, who usually speaks with a mature and sophisticated voice, switched to a cute and innocent voice this time: "Hello everyone, I'm Watami Ogura, a little sister who got lost in Rakshasa Mirage. I hope you can vote for me."

Upon hearing the song that Ogura Watami was about to sing, even Ye Xian, who was drinking tea, almost spat out the water in his mouth.

One chose to solo "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant," and the other sang "Rakshasa Mirage" in a cute, childlike voice. You guys are just too amazing!

"The Kingdom of Rakshasa is 26,000 li to the east"

Passing through the seven streams and crossing the three-inch-wide yellow muddy ground of Jiaohai

Just for that one hill of river

The river flows past Gougou Camp

... "

[Lacking the element of meat in the Five Elements theory: What the heck? Singing "Rakshasa Mirage" in a loli voice? Is this even possible?]

[Crotch Sniper: Exciting! So exciting! I knew the late-night karaoke competition was full of hidden talents. There was even a big guy from the three northern provinces who sang in a South Indian style, but he was eliminated. Otherwise, he and Ogura Watami would have been a match made in heaven!]

[No such person found: Oh no! I've completely forgotten how Brother Xian sang this song before, now all I can hear is the loli-voiced version of "Rakshasa Mirage"!]

[Electrified Little Expert: This is too much! I thought Hairun playing the big drum was already pretty good, but now hearing the loli voice version of "Rakshasa Mirage," I have this illusion that I'm in "Rakshasa Ghost Market"?]

……

Singing "Rakshasa Mirage" in a cute, childlike voice, voice actress Ogura Watami's outrageous performance stunned everyone. Ye Xian almost burst out laughing. Of all the versions of "Rakshasa Mirage," this was the most amazing one he had ever heard.

After finishing her song, Ogura Watami's voice changed to a more delicate, almost ethereal tone: "Thank you for listening, everyone! Please vote for Watami!"

[Understanding Clothes: My girlish heart has melted! No need to say anything more, my vote will definitely go to Tomi!]

[Thinking about what to do: I have a preliminary idea, and I hope Ogura Watami can add me as a friend so I can discuss this idea with you privately.]

[Chrysanthemum's Three Wraths: Compared to Ogura Watami, Hairun was utter trash. This is the finals! How can the gap between them be so huge?]

[Unyielding: Now, I'm increasingly looking forward to Yuri's antics! And don't forget Deng Qiqi's powerful lungs, that's definitely going to be amazing!]

……

Ye Xian exchanged glances with the judges, then wrote down his voting results on his ballot and handed it to the notary who came to collect the ballots.

The third person to take the stage was the only rapper, Liu Yiming from WaWaJiJi.

As a rapper, he didn't have many songs to choose from, so he unhesitatingly chose Ye Xian's representative rap work - "The End of War".

"Light as paper"

Light scattered in the place

The light hurriedly faded as the applause subsided.

... "

As soon as Liu Yiming opened his mouth, Ye Xian frowned slightly. This rapper shouldn't have chosen this song.

The rhythm of "Stop the War" is unique, but what is more difficult than its extremely simple and unique rhythm is the complex emotions contained in the song.

The unease and fear of war, the desolation, ruin, and trauma it brings, and the longing for a peaceful life...

This series of emotions needs to be developed step by step, unfolded continuously, and then mixed together to move forward step by step.

What Ye Xian heard from Liu Yiming's rap seemed to be nothing more than blatant showing off of skills.

Ye Xian glanced at Teacher Liang and Teacher Feng casually, and noticed that both teachers' eyebrows were furrowed.

Sure enough, they also figured out the problem.

At this moment, Liu Yiming was still immersed in his own rhythm. He felt that this song was so enjoyable and satisfied all his needs to show off his rap skills.

Deep down, he couldn't help but admire Ye Xian, who wrote the song. Compared to other rappers, Ye Xian's rap songs had more depth and complexity.

[Just between us, am I the only one who felt like I was about to fall asleep while listening?]

Why do the same song sound completely different when sung by Xian Ge and Liu Yiming? When I hear Xian Ge sing this song, it's pure enjoyment, but when Liu Yiming sings it, I just can't get into it. It always feels like my ears are covered by a condom!

[It's a pity, Liu Yiming, this handsome young man, this song isn't suitable for this kind of occasion, it's more suited to the recording studio. Today is a competition, the rapper is at a disadvantage. You could at least sing "Stubborn".]

Is it possible that these rappers can't sing normal songs well? Don't hit me, I'm just guessing. And don't argue, arguing just means you win.

……

Fans in the live stream also noticed some issues with Liu Yiming's singing. He timed each rhythm and breath perfectly, but he just didn't have the effortless ease that Ye Xian possessed.

Moreover, rap does need an atmosphere to be created, otherwise what's the difference between it and the shop assistants on the street singing "Ice and Snow Honey City" rap?

After Liu Yiming finished his performance, he felt that the result was quite good. He glanced at the big screen in front of him and his face darkened when he saw the dense barrage of comments saying that he sang badly.

However, knowing that it was still a crucial moment for voting, he didn't say much, only thanked the voters, and then returned to his seat.

Soon, the notary collected the judges' votes, put them in an envelope, and delivered it to Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming looked at the envelope in his hand and suddenly asked, "Brother Xian, can we see our scores in advance?"
