There were countless comments from the netizens!
"Spinach has been eliminated!"
"The result has been decided!"
"The Clown was so close. He was so close!"
"Yeah, he was one of the favorites to win. In fact, he was one of the favorites, so how could he have been nearly eliminated in the first round? This doesn't make sense! "
"Liao Yiqi left?"
"Damn, I like Spinach!"
"Spinach sang so well today!"
"That's right, Spinach definitely sang better than Flowing Time and King of Oddity! At least for today, at least for this round, Spinach should not have been eliminated! "
"It's their fault for not canvassing for votes."
"Right, it seems like only Spinach and The Clown did not canvass for votes!"
"Hai, Spinach was the least popular contestant onstage to begin with. She was at a disadvantage. In a competition like this, fame is still the most important factor. I really feel sorry for Spinach!"
"She should have asked for votes!"
"Yeah, both she and The Clown miscalculated!"
In the studio.
Dong Shanshan had already announced the results.
Dong Shanshan looked at Spinach in the audience. "Unfortunately, I'm very sorry. Teacher Liao Yiqi will be leaving this stage early. Can you say a few final words to us?"
Spinach stood up and walked onto the stage.
Dong Shanshan handed the microphone to her.
Spinach forced a smile. "Thank you, everyone. I'm actually very content to have made it this far, to the stage of the grand finals. Really."
In the audience.
Quite a few of Spinach's fans stood up.
"Spinach!"
"Little Qi, you can do it!"
"You can do it, you're the best!"
"We love you!"
Some of the fans were crying!
A few of the men were wiping their tears as they held up the LED light board with Spinach's name written on it. They used all their strength as though they were trying to lift the LED light board into the sky!
Seeing this scene, Spinach could not control her emotions. Her eyes turned red. "Thank you, thank you." With a pause, she bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry that I didn't last until the end." In private, Spinach was very cheerful and talkative. But onstage, she was very quiet and did not like to speak much. Just like before, even though she had been eliminated, she did not express her thoughts, nor did she grumble.
Hearing Spinach apologize, the fans felt even worse!
Many of the fans were crying as their hearts ached!
Spinach left the stage.
The other singers also left the stage and went backstage to prepare for the final round of the competition. Only Wild Rose, Xiaodong, Chen Guang, Jiang Hanwei, and the other guest partners remained in the front row of the audience. The next round of the competition no longer had anything to do with them. They had completed their mission.
Backstage.
The Clown walked on without a word.
Fan Wenli looked at him. "You should be first in the first round."
Li Xiaoxian was no longer wearing her mask. "We've just evaluated it. If we were to judge based on the songs, you'd definitely be number one."
Flowing Time and King of Oddity did not say anything. They had already returned to their own lounge to change their clothes. The makeup artists were already waiting inside.
The Clown looked at them. "Thank you."
Fan Wenli said, "He'll definitely catch up in the second round."
The clown smiled but did not say a word.
They also returned to the lounge.
The Clown was the only one left. Just as he was about to open the door and go back, he heard footsteps behind him. The Clown turned around and saw that it was Liao Yiqi backstage.
Liao Yiqi said, "Teacher Clown."
Zhang Ye looked at her. "Teacher Spinach, you were looking for me?"
Liao Yiqi asked, "Did I not sing well?"
Zhang Ye shook his head firmly. "No, you sang very well. If I had to vote, I wouldn't have voted for Sunset Glow or Petal Shower today. I would have voted for you."
Liao Yiqi said, "Really?"
Zhang Ye said affirmatively, "Yes."
Liao Yiqi gave a sad laugh and said, "Then why are our votes so low?"
Zhang Ye could not answer her, nor did he know how to answer her.
"I can't accept it." Liao Yiqi suddenly said, "I really can't accept it."
Zhang Ye waited for her to continue.
Liao Yiqi took a deep breath. "I don't have a chance to sing anymore. Teacher Clown, I would like to ask you for a favor. You must definitely become the grand champion. Can you do that?"
Zhang Ye said, "With you gone, there are only five contestants left. I currently have the lowest number of votes."
Liao Yiqi was silent for a moment. Then she looked up and said, "I want to know if singing quietly will really mean that I won't be able to stand out one day."
Zhang Ye comforted, "You're still young. There are still many opportunities in the future."
Liao Yiqi said, "But right now, my faith has been shaken."
Zhang Ye understood. He understood how Spinach was feeling at this moment. He was also very angry about Spinach's elimination. He also felt that it was unfair and unbelievable. Putting aside his and Wild Rose's song, Zhang Ye felt that Spinach was the best singer. Today, her singing had surprised him even more than Fan Wenli and Chen Guang. As such, Zhang Ye did not know how to console this young singer who had just come of age.
One second.
Two seconds.
Zhang Ye suddenly said, "Don't be shaken. Believe in yourself. Believe in what you've always believed to be right."
Liao Yiqi did not reply. She was hesitating and feeling lost.
Zhang Ye looked at her. "I'll promise you what you've said."
Liao Yiqi was taken aback.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "So if I become the grand champion, if I become the grand champion, you must also promise me that you must believe that singing quietly is not a wrong thing to do, alright?"
Liao Yiqi's eyes finally lit up. "Alright!"
Zhang Ye nodded. "Then it's a promise."
He turned around and pushed open the waiting room's door.
The wardrobe and makeup artists were talking inside.
The female makeup artist said, "Alright, it's over for The Clown."
The male makeup artist said, "He and Spinach are too arrogant. One look and you can tell that they're rookies who haven't gotten used to the rhythm and rules of the entertainment industry yet. Even though this kind of show claims that they only listen to music, how many people can really understand it? The grand finals this time will be a public vote. How many votes can they get just by singing? Of course they have to add some other elements into the show. Flowing Time and King of Oddity have done very well. This must've been planned and operated by their management companies. Just a gimmick can match up to the votes of two of the other contestants' songs. "
The wardrobe artist sighed and said, "Actually, The Clown has already been eliminated from the race for the grand champion this time."
The female makeup artist said, "Yeah, the difference in the votes is too great. He can't catch up."
"The Clown also has an advantage."
"Right."
"His advantage is that he hasn't taken off his mask yet. He still has a chance to explode in the second round. If he insists on not taking off his mask, then he's really done for! He won't even be able to get into the top three! "
The four of them chatted.
Zhang Ye closed the door.
Only then did they realize that The Clown had returned. They didn't know if The Clown had heard their conversation, but they felt a little guilty.
"Uh."
"Teacher Clown."
"Let's do your makeup."
Zhang Ye nodded and sat down in front of the makeup table without saying a word!
At this moment, he was suddenly filled with fighting spirit. He refused to believe that he would lose today!
