With unyielding resolve, Tom raised his hand, a signal to the accompanying band that the moment had arrived.
As the first notes filled the air, a hushed silence descended upon the entire audience.
Tomâs voice, slightly hoarse but bearing the raw vitality of youth and rebellion, seized the crowdâs attention in an instant.
His rock and roll vocals resonated with power, setting ablaze an atmosphere that engulfed both the live audience and the online viewers, drawing forth cheers and applause in a fiery display.
Following the electrifying performance, the time came for the critical judging phase.
To Tomâs astonishment, he received exceptionally high scores from both the judges and the live audience.
As the scores lit up the screen, Arianaâs relief was tempered by lingering concern for Tomâs health.
Yet, on stage, Tom betrayed no signs of discomfort.
It was only when he stepped off the stage, his eyes meeting Arianaâs, that he turned pale and uttered, âAriana, I feel dizzy and nauseous.
â
Without hesitation, Ariana rushed to his side, supporting him toward the dressing room.
âRest for a moment; Iâll call a doctor for you,â she insisted, reaching for her phone.
But Tom, though weak, shook his head.
âItâs alright, I can hold on.
Iâll head to the hospital after Franklin and the others perform, once the group scores are announced.
â
Ariana needed to stay around for the show, so she arranged for someone else to take care of Tom.
It was nearly time for the Chamberlain brothers to step onto the stage.
Woodrow, his pallor betraying his anxiety, confided in Ariana, âAriana, Iâm feeling dizzy too, and incredibly nervous.
â
Unable to contain a smile, Ariana playfully patted him on the back and teased, âDizzy, huh? Come on, youâve got to remember to stand up straight.

In the live chat room, the audience couldnât help but react with laughter as they witnessed this endearing scene.
Comments poured in, likening Ariana to a protective big sister, diligently caring for her younger siblings.
However, among the viewers, curiosity was piqued regarding what the two brothers would deliver on stage, considering their relatively weak foundation in previous performances.
Then, to everyoneâs astonishment, two voices seamlessly harmonized, captivating the entire audience.
âTheyâre actually performing in an a cappella style?â
âThis is incredibly challenging.
â
Franklin and Woodrow took on all vocal ranges themselves, with the choir providing backup vocals.
Their entire stage performance was nothing short of outstanding, and they chose to sing classic songs that further showcased their exceptional talents.
The audience watched in amazement, for a cappella was a highly demanding singing style that required impeccable coordination.
No one had expected the Chamberlain brothers to tackle such a vocal challenge on stage.
In their previous performance in the second episode, Sarahâs involvement had overshadowed the brothersâ contributions, despite their commendable skills.
This time, though, they genuinely left everyone stunned.
Even Ariana, with a nod to their undeniable talent, had to acknowledge their transformation into shining stars under her guidance during the performances.
It was a remarkable journey that had taken them from the shadows to the spotlight.
Soon, the Chamberlain brothers effortlessly concluded their performance.
After the captivating display of talents had come to an end, it was time for the judging phase to commence.
With Rollingrock Media no longer vying for tickets, Arianaâs teamâs scores soared high above the competition, firmly clinching the coveted first place.
