Philadelphia, Vakovia Center.

we will, will rock you!

we will, we will rock you!

Wave after wave of strong volume almost broke through the walls of the arena, resounding over the entire city!

Countless locals, countless people who came specially from the surrounding towns, or people from other cities, not only filled the entire arena, but even the roadside roads lined up long queues, people chatting and excited Talking freely, occasionally singing high-pitched songs under the command of the program staff!

Such a grand carnival of the whole people is not inferior to any NBA game hosted by this arena in the past!

Just because, this is supervoice's super audition day in Philadelphia!

This super reality show, born out of American Idol and Voice of America, fully accepted the audience of those two talent shows. As soon as it was born, it attracted the attention of the whole United States. The center of attention!

From San Diego, California, to Dallas, Texas, to Omaha, Nebraska, Atlanta, Georgia, Charleston, South Carolina, Miami, Florida, and finally to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Every time the program team came to a city, it set off a new round of audition carnival!

People still remember the national craze during the American Idol period, and even more the trendy singers who came out of the show one by one, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, two Kellys, two supernovas of country music, It is the best testimony of the show!

Across seven states and seven cities, every citizen is paying attention to this grand event, countless people ask for leave or do not hesitate to fire their bosses to participate in this audition, and even people from other non-audition cities are not far away Came here from thousands of miles just to get a turning point in your own life!

This is already the second day of the audition, but the excitement of the applicants is not inferior to the first day!

In such a warm atmosphere, perhaps the only ones who are calm are the judges in the audition.

The regional audition consists of three stages, which are primary selection, producer pre-selection and judge audition.

The first two will screen out most of the contestants, and only a few hundred people can perform in front of the final judges.

Among them, the pre-selection of producers is not included in the scope of recording, and there are only a few shots of the primary selection. Only the audition of the judges will be recorded, edited, and finally broadcast on TV.

Most of the judges in the primary selection are ordinary people in the industry, not big stars or well-known musicians. Their job is to eliminate those contestants who can't sing at all or are completely out of tune.Since the songs for the primary selection are the ones specified when registering on the official website, if the contestants practice in advance, even if their singing level is average, they may pass the primary selection.However, due to the huge number of applicants, the ratio of passing the primary selection is still cruel. Among the tens of thousands of contestants, not one in ten can enter the next round of selection.

The producer pre-selection will not be broadcast on TV at all. In this link, the selection criteria for the program group is not only singing skills.If you can rely on your outstanding singing skills, then of course you can enter the next round smoothly. If it can attract the attention of the audience, the program team will not hesitate to give them a chance to show it-whether they can pass the final audition is another matter.

Those who can pass these two rounds of selection will have the opportunity to stand in front of the final judges.

At this moment, Yili is standing in a line that can't be seen at a glance, waiting for her interview opportunity.

"Hello." Maybe the waiting time was too boring. After the girl in front of Yili got tired of playing with her mobile phone, she looked around and was soon attracted by the beautiful and tall blonde girl behind her. She tried He said hello to the other party, "I'm Joyce, from Maryland, how about you?"

"My name is Sally, and I'm from Massachusetts." Ellie replied with a smile, "My home is in Connecticut, not far away."

"They're all from neighboring states, and so am I." Joyce laughed happily, "But I heard that some people came from Maine, and some from the Midwest. I heard that they missed the auditions in other places. , can only travel thousands of miles to come here."

"It's really not easy, I hope they can get what they want." Yi Li sighed cooperatively.

"Thank you, I will try my best." The young man behind Yili interrupted suddenly.

"Huh?" Yili and Joyce looked at him together, and Yili raised her eyebrows even more. Even if they were indeed talking in public, it was still difficult for people to be snooped on and interrupted at will. Be happy.

"I'm the unlucky one who missed the audition in other places." The young man with smooth short brown hair and a few freckles touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "Fortunately, I caught up with the registration here, otherwise I have to wait It's next year."

"It seems that you are lucky." The two couldn't help but smile after hearing the explanation, and Joyce joked.

"It's not unlucky at all." The brown-haired young man smiled, and his attitude became more generous. "By the way, let's get to know each other. I'm Matt. How about you?" He introduced himself.

"Didn't you hear just now?" Joyce asked deliberately.

"Ahem..." Matt was embarrassed again after being exposed.

"Okay, I'm Joyce, nice to meet you." Joyce didn't want to bother him, and quickly gave him a step.

"I'm Sally, hello." Yi Li also extended a hand of friendship to him.

"Hello." Matt clasped back with flushed cheeks, and Joyce laughed suddenly, Matt's face turned even redder, and Ellie calmly withdrew her hand.Seeing Yili's calm appearance, Joyce also felt that it was not interesting, so she quickly shifted her attention.

Waiting is indeed boring, but with socialite Joyce, the contestants before and after them get to know each other quickly.

"I'm Matilda." This was the girl ahead of Joyce.

"I'm Natasha." "I'm Per." These two are the girls after Matt.

Once the girls got to know each other, they started talking together.

"Have you seen the latest ins? I think Jelena is getting back together soon!" Joyce said excitedly after swiping her phone.

For contestants who aspire to become professional singers, how could it be possible not to know about those two people?In particular, Jelena is also the national cp of the United States, the pop king Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez, who was born in Disney and almost grew up with Americans. It is even a major event in the hearts of people who eat melons all over the world.The protagonist is so advanced, the plot is so bloody, even the most exaggerated idol drama dare not write like that!

"I know!" Matilda was also bloody. "When Justin was interviewed, he said 'she is my heart'. Aww, this is definitely his confession after many years! I think they are getting back together!"

"Calm down, Justin will confess his love to Selena every year, okay?" Natasha shrugged, "However, whether the two can really be together, I think Selena still needs to nod."

"I can't wait!" Pell said with Xingxing eyes while holding the phone.

"However, Selena has just had a kidney transplant, so she may not be able to withstand the toss." Yili also shared a gossip, "I hope they can do well this time, and don't involve other people in it. The Weeknd this time Excited."

"Puchi." Thinking of the black rock singer whose hobby in life is car tickets, after being with Selena, he went to the museum and went to Disneyland, but now he heard that they broke up, even if it was said to be He mentioned first that the people who eat melons still intuitively believe that his little heart is hurt from the reaction of The Weeknd. This contrast makes the girls feel very interesting.

However, after a short laugh, no one followed Yili's words-this was a very easy topic, but the smiles on the faces of the girls changed from the uncontrollable laughter to a tacit understanding. For a moment, the scene fell into a subtle silence, Yili frowned slightly, Joyce didn't realize it, and the three girls remained silent.

Seeing that no one answered, Joyce raised her head strangely, and said casually, "I still like Weeken very much, and I hope he can get out of this relationship as soon as possible." As she spoke, she didn't know what came to her mind, Joyce laughed again, "Of course, I don't object to him writing some diss Justin's songs. As long as the quality passes, I will definitely pay him. Seriously, the song he wrote when he just announced the breakup was What the hell! It's so low!!!" Joyce said indignantly.

Joyce said that the Weekend had just broken up, and the paparazzi sent out photos of Justin and Selena meeting, so Weeken wrote the allusive song, some of the lyrics were a bit unsightly, and then the people who eat melons The whole network is dissed.

"Hahahahahaha." Joyce's words made the girls laugh.

"Me too, although I'm not his fan!"

"That's right, it's the first time I feel that Viken is so worthy of love!"

The girls said one after another, as if the previous silence did not exist.

It was only when they peeked at Yili's expression from time to time that Yili was convinced that it was not her own illusion.

But so what?If she can, she certainly doesn't mind getting along with other people, but she doesn't care if other people don't want to get along with her. After all, how many girls including her can pass the audition?She cared more about the audition itself than these irrelevant interactions.

Only those who can pass the audition have the possibility of having the last laugh.

Just in this kind of chatting with each other, the line ahead is getting shorter and shorter.

"They're all looking at you." Joyce, a social expert and head of the Philadelphia Gossip Branch, whispered to Yi Li suddenly.

At first she didn't realize it, she just thought it was the personality charm of these girls, but later she realized that those people around her, especially these human males, were looking at her side intentionally or unintentionally, especially at her side This one seems to be.

... No, it's not her they're looking at, it's just her points.

Ellie was very calm, not very happy about Joyce's words.In fact, Yili couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the points she had redeemed like a stream of water.However, in order to gain as many advantages as possible in the game, she is absolutely not stingy in this regard.

Of course, Yili was a little surprised at this strange woman who was gossiping with the girls, watching and listening to all directions, and creating gossip with her own body, but she didn't want to pamper her new friend either. "Bad habits", so he calmly changed the subject, "It's almost time for us." This is the point. In comparison, all the small thoughts are not worth mentioning.

"..." Well, it's true that competitions are more important, and the days to come are long, and there will be eight more in the future.

Joyce pursed her lips, followed the staff's guidance honestly, and followed the people in front of her into the room.

From the beginning to the end, no one said, let's sing a chorus.

Even other people who liked each other tacitly avoided this topic.

Everyone understands that, beneath the surface of friendliness, everyone present is their own competitor.

Who will let the opponent see his own strength clearly?

Even Joyce, who seemed straightforward, didn't make this suggestion.

At the reception desk at the entrance, the contestants handed in their resumes one by one in exchange for their own number plates.

Ellie's number is 9427, a fair number.

Like everyone else, Yili posted the number on her face so the judges could see it at a glance.

The primaries are groups of five, singing the same song.

On their side are Joyce, Ellie, Matt, and Natasha and Pere behind Matt—the two girls looked at each other after realizing that they were in the same group as the second girl , showing unhappy expressions to each other.The last thing they want is to compete with this girl. Unexpectedly, no matter what happens, they still have to play with her!

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help sighing—it's the most troublesome thing to be with someone with outstanding looks, that's simply natural cheating!Anyone who knows something knows that in all talent shows, especially in this kind of singing competition, appearance is an absolute bonus item. When others try their best to catch up, good looks will naturally lead!It's not fair! ! !

It's a pity that the program group couldn't hear the inner howls of the two of them. Under the established grouping, they could only bite the bullet.

In case, this girl is just a vase with ostentatious appearance, it would not be a bad thing to step on her to the top, maybe it can contrast with her singing skills and give the junior judges the impression of a capable singer—the two told themselves so.

There was more than one judging room for the primary selection. When the door of one of the judging rooms was opened and five people from a certain group in front came out either excitedly or frustrated, the staff also signaled them to go in.

"God, I'm so nervous!"

Seeing the completely different reactions of the five people, Joyce, who was relatively relaxed at first, also tightened her fingers. Especially thinking that she was the first, she became even more anxious—even though she felt good at first, after seeing the plight of the previous contestants , her nerves became more and more tense.

At this time, no one can comfort her, and everyone is doing their last prayers for themselves.

Yili took a deep breath, adjusted her state as much as possible, and said to her softly to relax.

Joyce gave Ellie a grateful smile.

Soon, five people walked into the judging room one by one, and stood in front of the three primary judges.

The judges glanced at the five people, paused on Yili, and then moved away quickly.

"Joyce?" The judges flipped through their resumes and simply confirmed.

"It's me." Joyce replied quickly.

"Sally?" The judge called out the second name.

"It's me." Yili signaled.

This time, the judges' eyes stayed on Yili for a full two seconds before they nodded slightly.

The two girls standing at the end looked at each other nervously, and silently bit their lips. They all knew that the second girl's appearance had an advantage. If she stood on the stage and they were ordinary judges, they would Will vote for her too - as long as she doesn't sing so badly, yes, as long as she doesn't sing so badly.

However, this is not a real stage after all, this is just a primary election, her advantage is not so clear, if she is not good enough to sing, her appearance will not be able to give full play to her advantage either.Taking a step back, even if the audition pass rate is very low, it doesn't mean that only one person in a group can be shortlisted, they still have a chance.

Even though I told myself that, from the moment they stepped through the door, the judges' eyes seemed to rest on her indistinctly, which made every contestant present feel faintly threatened—even if they didn't do anything , someone is one step ahead. Is there anything worse in the world?

"Matt?" The judges continued to roll the roll as if nothing had happened.

"It's me." The only male player present replied immediately.

"Natasha?"

"it's me."

"Pell?"

"it's me."

The judges quickly confirmed their names, and the interview began immediately.

"Joyce, you are the first to sing Whitney Houston's "One Moment Time". We will tell you where to stop. Now, let's start." The first judge said without delay.

"Yes." Joyce nodded, took a deep breath, and began to sing the song she had prepared for several weeks, "each daive want be day give/the best me/i'monlyone/butnotalone/myfinestday/isyetunknown..."

When Joyce sang this golden song, everyone held their breaths. The contestants were nervous, and the judges were concentrated. Two of the judges rested their chins on their cheeks and rested on their chins without blinking. Looking at Joyce made Joyce even more nervous, her palms were slightly wet with sweat, and one of the judges kept looking down at the resume without looking up from the beginning to the end, but this didn't make Joyce feel relaxed, instead, she was thinking wildly in her heart She wondered if she didn't sing well enough, so the judges didn't want to look at her.

Ellie also listened attentively to Joyce's singing. Joyce's singing was okay, but only okay. The most obvious thing was that she raised the key from the beginning.Yili could tell that Joyce must have practiced beforehand, so she worked hard to adjust it afterwards. Although it was still not quite right, at least the direction of the tone was okay. If the judges don't mind, it can be regarded as a testament to the song. Another take - though, the judges may not be looking forward to that in the primaries.

In addition, when Joyce sang, there were a few places where she was out of tune.Perhaps because of nervousness, her breathing was not right in a few places. "That Moment" is a slow song, and each line of the lyrics will last for a long time. If the breathing is disordered, the lyrics will definitely be sung incorrectly.Especially in the last sentence, Joyce's tone went up again.

If she sang normally, Joyce's little flaw might not be so obvious. Generally speaking, she sang in tune and her timbre was pleasant, but to the professional judges' ears, Yili was not sure. The three bits will not be given a pass.

"Okay." When Joyce barely sang the first stanza, the judges interrupted her mercilessly.

Joyce opened her mouth, but quickly closed her mouth, anxiously waiting for the judges' comments.

She thinks she can sing well, although she is not at her best, it is still around her average level.

However, to her disappointment, the judges did not give her a comment, but moved directly to the next one:

"Sally, go on singing."

——In the primary selection stage, the judges will not comment on everyone, they don't have such time.

"Yes." Yili closed her eyes and immediately entered the state, "ibrokeheart/foughteverygain/totastethesweetfacethepainriseandfall/yetthroughall/thismuchremains..."

The light and beautiful singing resounded in the room. It was a delicate girlish voice that was completely different from Whitney's hoarse, round mature voice. From the first line of "I broke my heart", especially "heart" The perfect transition made the judges sit up straight, especially the third judge who had been looking down at his resume, raised his precious head.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Most people's thoughts are probably "Wow, it's so good! It's so good! How can it be so good", but in the eyes of the judges, this girl's singing skills are very sophisticated, and every line of the lyrics is accurately stepped on the pitch. Not low, neither slow nor fast.Especially when the previous contestant raised the key, she still sang naturally according to the original tone-this is what the judges want to hear, and besides all the tricks, she is the most objective The most essential singing skills.

When the contestants completed the registration on the official website, they were told the designated songs to be prepared. The meaning of the program group was to let the contestants sing according to the original tune, and not to play it separately. There were many opportunities for them to perform in the following links.This is equivalent to an ordinary exam, where candidates are required to write the original text silently. Even if the examinee fills in better than the original text, as long as it is not the original sentence, he will not get points. It is as simple as that.

"Okay." The judges raised their hands and motioned for Yili to stop. Compared to Joyce's enough, what Yili got was good—even though there was no comment session, the judges' words still showed some tendencies. of.

The contestants, who paid attention to the judges' every move, of course also noticed the difference in the judges' words. Whether it was Joyce, Matt, Natasha, or Per, they were all very envious of Yi Li, especially the latter. It was unconcealable jealousy, but he was jealous of the judges, so he didn't say anything harsh, but the unconscious expression on his face was enough to make the judges raise their eyebrows.

The three judges glanced at each other, picked out Yili's resume without saying anything, and put it aside—is there any need to discuss this kind of contestant with solid singing skills?Just like a teacher correcting papers for students, for subjective questions, the students' answers may be ambiguous, and teachers need to discuss it occasionally, but for silent writing questions, the answer is beyond doubt.

Yili slightly raised the corner of her mouth, she was not surprised by the result—for such a vital and life-threatening exam, who would lose points in dictation?She will never miss the first round!She would never leave the competition without qualifying in the audition, and that would be a pity for her half a year—one and a half years in normal time—to prepare hard.

The contestants on the side opened their eyes wide, and they also saw that this was an obvious pass treatment!

No one would think that since Yili sang so well, the jury would have singled her out on purpose. This must have recognized her performance and allowed her to pass the test.

Joyce couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. Ellie's resume was put aside to indicate that she had passed the test, which also meant that her resume that was put back in the original place did not mean to pass the test-she would not be foolish to think that she sang better than The other party is good, that's not self-confidence, it's overthinking one's abilities.Now, she only hopes that this is not the final result, and the judges will do more consideration.

"Go on, Matt," said the first judge, and the third bowed his head again.

"Yes." Matt didn't worry about the third judge's contempt for him. If he sang well enough, that judge would still look up, and he would impress him with his own singing!Matt secretly made up his mind and opened his mouth to sing the climax of the song, "iwantonemomenttime/wheni'mmorethahoughould/whenallmydreamsareartbeataway/andtheanswersarealltome..."

In the first two sentences, Matt sang well. The transition of "time" in the first sentence was a bit jerky, but he still sang the feeling-maybe the person in front of him sang well enough, so his The tune is also on point, it’s like acting, if the person in the opposite role performs well, you will also perform exceptionally well, or more simply, it’s like running, if someone leads in the front, the people behind will also run better, At least it's better than running alone.

However, when it came to the third sentence, especially the high note "allof", Matt's voice couldn't go up, and there were signs of breaking the sound, but Matt pressed it down forcibly, and there was no real breaking sound, but it was true. The tone of the song was out of tune, and the tone of the entire lyrics changed. In the fourth line, he tried his best to adjust it, and barely returned to the correct tone, but it was still difficult to cover up the previous mistakes.

"Stop it." The first judge said mercilessly.

"..." Matt paused silently, watching with disappointment that the judges had no intention of moving his resume at all—but he knew that he had not performed well enough, and it was no surprise that he got this result, but he couldn't hide his disappointment.

The ruthlessness of the judges also made the two girls in the back nervous.

"Natasha, keep singing," said the judges.

"Yes." If it is said that Natasha was lucky and hoped that Yili could be her control group, but now she has deeply realized that she is destined to be Yili's control group. At this moment, Her only hope is that she can perform supernormally and become the second person in this group to enter the next round of selection. With such complicated thoughts, Natasha also opened her mouth and sang, "give one moment time/wheni'mracingwithdestiny/thenthatonemomenttimewillfeelwillfeeleternity ..."

Unfortunately, Matt's mistakes in the previous verse also affected her. Her tune was unstable at the beginning, and when she reached the extremely high-spirited "destiny" in the second line, she barely sang the word through hysteria , but her unsteady pitch and narrow vocal range are also exposed. Everyone can hear that she can't control this line of lyrics at all.

In the next few sentences, she also performed mediocrely, and the judges showed an impatient look on their faces. Fortunately, this section was not too long. When the judges were considering whether to interrupt her in advance, she also finished singing this section... …

"Pell, continue." The judge raised his chin and said.

"Yes, uh..." It was finally Peer's turn. Her part was the beginning of the second half of the song, but she didn't know whether it was because of her nervousness or her lack of preparation. She opened her mouth on the spot for a long time, None made a sound.

"What's the matter?" The judges frowned and asked impatiently—the rhythm of the primary election is very fast, basically it's just singing and singing, passing by, but but no, no one has the intention to say a word .Not to mention, the standards of the contestants are mixed. Except for a few who can sing well, most of them can't sing very well. For those who are in charge of the first round of screening, listening to those who sing out of tune , It is a kind of torture, and this torture will continue for a whole day, two days...

With all this in mind, it's not hard to understand why the judges have no good temper.

"I..." Pell blushed, "the lyrics...I don't remember the lyrics..."

"..." This is not the first time that judges who forgot the lyrics have encountered this kind of judges. There are too many contestants in the interview, and you can always see various situations where the chain is lost. It is not uncommon to forget the lyrics.Generally speaking, the judges are too lazy to talk to each other. They give the contestants half a minute (almost the time for the contestants to sing a lyric), and continue singing if they remember it. , but this is a very rare case.

"i'velivedbe..." This time, the judges were in a good mood.Of course, their attitudes were generally impatient, but when they saw the beautiful blonde girl in front of them and heard the girl's melodious singing just now, the judges were a little more tolerant, and it was rare to remind them kindly.

"i'velivedbe..." Pell sang quickly. Although it sounded dry, to her, singing badly was not the worst thing. The worst thing was that after she sang this sentence , I still can't remember the lyrics below, I just sang this sentence and then I got stuck again...

"..." The judges looked at her.

"..." The contestants also looked sideways at her.

"..." Pell was about to cry.

At this time, the judges had no extra patience for her.

"Sally, you can go to the next round." The judges directly announced the result, "Others, it's a pity that you didn't sing well enough. Your competition is over here."

"Wait!" It was Natasha, who was the fourth performer, who swallowed her saliva when she saw the judges looking up, and said courageously, "This result is not fair. We sang more The difficulty is high, but Sally sings ordinary melodies, of course it is better than ours..." Natasha does not understand that Yili's singing skills are much better than hers, but after all, this is one of the few times she changed her own destiny. She is impossible and unwilling to miss the opportunity, so even if she is laughed at by others, she has to fight for herself in the end.

"Hahahaha, isn't it fair?" The first judge laughed instead of anger, and the corners of the other judges couldn't help but curl their mouths—anyone with ears can hear the difference in their standards, and if they put her in any place, it would be a mistake for them to eliminate her. No problem, "If you think this competition is unfair, you don't have to participate in this competition..."

"Hmm." Hearing the first judge's words, Natasha's cheeks turned red and white immediately, and the third judge, who kept her head down, said kindly, "Since she is not convinced, Sally, you can sing too." The climax part of this song, I think you should be able to hear the difference." If Natasha insists on not leaving, they will ask security to come in to deal with it. It's not good to make a mess like that, so they just compare it clearly once Well—so thinks the third judge.

"Is it okay, Sally?" The first judge said to Yili—it seemed to be a question, but Yili actually had no right to choose. Whether she passed the test was completely in the hands of these judges. How could she go against the judges' wishes.What's more, she also practiced the whole song in the previous practice, but now she just sings a little more, it's no big deal.

"Okay." Yili agreed immediately, recalled the lyrics in her heart, and continued singing from where she left off, "iwantonemomenttime/wheni'mmorethoughhouldbe...giveonemomenttime/wheni'mracingwithdestiny..."

Her voice is clear and ethereal, and her breath is steady and firm. Every tune, every turn, and every vibrato are all sung just right, and the whole song is under her control.More importantly, maybe due to my strong character, even though my voice is girly, I don't feel weak when I sing, there is only a sonorous sound that seems to be fighting against fate!

This song by Whitney is a motivating hymn!

As the lyrics describe——

"At that moment, when I am racing against fate, I will feel eternity"!

Who else understands the feeling of facing fate better than Yili!

Who else is fighting against fate all the time than Yili!

This moment, the next moment, all the time before and after, she is fighting for her own destiny!

By the time she sang the most classic line, Yili had already put her heart and soul into it, and her delicate and high-pitched singing voice penetrated everyone's heart, making every listener feel trembling—that kind of determination to do everything, The courage to confront fate, loneliness, unknown traps, ups and downs in life, and the heart of believing in yourself and never giving up have infected everyone in the room!

The judges either closed their eyes, or smiled, and their fingers on the legs on the table trembled slightly.

They recalled their own life journey and their musical journey. Along the way, they have made countless efforts to get to where they are today. Every quiet late night, they have to enjoy the solitude to themselves, but In fact, they are not alone, music is their best friend, accompany them to overcome all sufferings!

Yili sang intently, and the contestants also listened attentively.

They are also fighting against their own destiny, unwilling to accept the mediocrity in front of them, so they have traveled thousands of miles to come here just to fight for a chance in their destiny. Regardless of success or failure, they have held their heads high before their fate!

This time, maybe they will leave early, but one day, they will make a comeback!

No one shouted to stop.

Even though the average time was exceeded, the judges did not want Yili to stop.

Therefore, Yili can only continue to sing, continue to sing, until the end of the last note, until she will finally get her own happiness.
