Chapter 730
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
The lyrics effortlessly echoed his innermost sentiments.
Love, a concept previously elusive, only found definition when he crossed paths with her.
In his world, affection was reserved solely for Lindsey; he couldnât fathom offering it elsewhere.
The harmonious blend of the music and his resonant voice lent a distinctiveness to the song, infusing it with a unique allure.
After the song, the applause lasted for a long time.
The judges led the ovation, and Sumner, graciously acknowledging their praise, rose and bowed.
Surprisingly explosive, Sumnerâs impassioned rendition surpassed Lindseyâs expectations; his emotional rendition nearly rivaled the original singer.
Sumnerâs rise in rank seemed inevitable.
As the commenting commenced, Selah, the first judge, provided her insights.
âThough not a music expert, I must say your clarity and emotional depth were evident.
The stage presence is very stunning.
â However, her smile belied the underlying critique.
âYet, the transitions between highs and lows lack seamless fluidity.
Thereâs room for improvement in practice; the journey off-stage holds more refinement.
â
Selah pinpointed other nuances and offered pointed remarks, outlining Sumnerâs imperfections and the path toward enhancement.
âThank you, Ms.
Potter.
Iâll take your words to heart,â Sumner responded dutifully.
Selahâs critique left the offstage audience stunned into silence.
Her unyielding words directed towards their own companyâs trainee struck as unexpectedly severe.
It portrayed the Lindnita Artists Agency as both serious and accountable, alleviating concerns of a potentially biased competition.
However, it also underscored the showâs fairness and transparency, bolstering its reputation.
Kristy made the comment next.
Lindsey, privy to Kristyâs penchant for official jargon, couldnât help but roll her eyes.
When Kristy found fault with Sumner, her remarks became inexplicable.
âYour performance lacks intensity, the essence of unrequited love.
But nonetheless, it holds promise, considering youâre a newcomer.
â
Lindsey dismissed Kristyâs critique as neither professional nor fair, refusing to take it seriously.
Caroleâs critique, in contrast, resonated as more professional, offering constructive feedback on Summerâs singing and stage performance.
The other judges followed suit, praising Sumnerâs performance in their individual assessments.
Eliminating the highest and lowest scores, Sumner emerged with a surprising high score of 9.
3, a result even Lindsey hadnât anticipated.
The electrifying opening set a high bar, leaving the contestants in the wings visibly nervous.
The subsequent contestant, a trainee from Gallop Entertainment, graced the stage with an ancient-style dance performance.
Perhaps due to Sumnerâs outstanding performance, the contestant left the audience underwhelmed with a dance that could only be described as mediocre, lacking highlights and excitement.
However, (Kristyâs reaction was surprisingly different.
Despite previously criticizing Sumner, she now praised the ordinary dance, highlighting the contestantâs unique charm.
Kristy commended the flexibility and coordination of the contestantâs movements.
According to her, the contestant successfully conveyed the mood of the dance music.
