Chapter 280 She Doesn’t Deserve It
The contestants were mostly cautious because of that as they hoped not to leave a bad impression on the audience.
With that, the competition officially started.
The first two contestants had a smooth performance.
However, the scores were not announced yet. They would be announced together after all the contestants were done with their performances.
Next, it was Bella’s turn.
She majored in acting, so she was not a professional in singing. Moreover, she thought she had been appointed by default, so she did not even bother to go through any professional training in advance.
She randomly chose a song that she could sing from beginning to end and stood in the middle of the stage, ending her performance without any climax.
Although the first two contestants were not brilliant, they were able to pull off some moves. Bella, on the contrary, stood on the stage like a statue, motionless.
Among the audience, some people started booing her.
‘How did she get into the top 3 during the auditions? She must have bribed an insider!’
‘She can’t even sing at the karaoke! She’s not prepared at all.’
‘Eliminate her. She’s too bad.’
Doubts about her ranking rose while the good impression the audience had of her previously instantly dispersed.
After each contestant performed, they would stay on the stage for a while, waiting for the judges’ comments.
Bella naturally did so too as she patiently waited for the audience’s votes and the judges’ evaluation.
Though she had presented a poor performance, she did not feel the slightest bit of worry.
The evaluation had always started with Jeffrey Hudson, so he picked up the microphone and offered a pertinent assessment. “This song does not require any technical skills. From your performance, I can tell that you are not suitable to become a singer.”
Ellie gave the same advice.
Hearing that, the host asked Vania for her comments.
In a calm tone, Vania uttered, “The two instructors before me have already commented on professional issues, so I’ll be commenting on your attitude instead. I don’t think you’re taking this competition seriously. You’re not being responsible for your performance, nor for the audience watching.”
Vania’s critiques did not sound as professional after the audience heard the experts’ analyses, but they were precise and easy to understand.
In the online chat room, netizens started cheering for her.
The comments from the first three judges clearly explained why Bella was unsuitable for the role and that she faced elimination.
Bella, on the other hand, was unaware and unconcerned as she merely stood arrogantly in the middle of the stage.
However, in front of the audience, she was not as cocky as usual. Although she was dissatisfied with Vania’s evaluation, she still thanked Vania.
After that, she kept staring at Hanson. After all, Hanson’s comments came next.
He had expressed his opinions on the first two contestants, but it was nothing more than one word: good.
Nevertheless, it was enough for Bella to look forward to.
Supposedly, Hanson had to give his comments first, but without even sparing a glance at Bella, he drew a big ‘X’ on his paper and threw it into the ballot box.
Seeing that, the host could only bite the bullet and remind him, “President Luke, we would like to hear your comments as well.”
Without an expression, Hanson answered, “She doesn’t deserve it.” His voice was so cold that it could make one shudder.
Everyone at the scene did not expect him to suddenly turn cold.
The audience was speechless and in shock as they looked at Bella, who was standing in embarrassment on the stage.
In an instant, silence enveloped the whole scene. It was imaginable how lethal that sentence was.
Even the skilled host was now stunned as he stood on the stage holding the microphone and not knowing what to say. Such an embarrassing scene was irreversible, so he silently complained in his heart.
