The two quickly knocked on the door of the next room. After a while, there were footsteps getting closer and closer, and then the door opened, and a thick-looking, slightly fat young and middle-aged man appeared in front of them.

"Hello, you are..." The fat man with ginger curly hair asked with some doubts.

"We are the residents in the next room. I am Keira, and she is Sally." Keira replied first, "Is Jonas Beard in this room? He is our teammate, we want to find him Let's discuss the next round of competition."

"Oh, I'm Jonas." Hearing the purpose of the two people's visit, Jonas immediately smiled, and quickly moved his body so that the two could come in, and said, "You guys come in first, my roommate hasn't come in yet." Come on, I am also going to visit you. By the way, what do you want to discuss with me? Shall we start practicing now?"

"We want to finalize the song first." This time it was Yili who took the call. She walked in with Keira and added with a smile, "We're going to practice with the vocal teacher tomorrow morning, aren't we?"

Yili was very happy to hear that Jonas had the intention to practice in advance. After all, there are always players who are unwilling to rehearse hard and are confident that they can pass the selection no matter what, and they may indeed have this ability, even if the team does not perform well. Jia, they can also play well, but from Yili's point of view, she still hopes that her teammates can practice hard and present an excellent performance-and she will try her best to be the best one.

"Of course, of course." Jonas nodded repeatedly, closed the door casually, invited the two to sit down on the small sofa, and moved the Windsor chair by the desk to the side of the two, and sat down together around the tea table, " So, what kind of songs are you guys good at? I prefer John Mayer, country-pop.”

"We also like pop, but we prefer Whitney Houston's songs, such as her classic track "Nothing". I think this song is very suitable for us to sing together. The harmony part can directly refer to the original song." Keira She said her ideal song without much concealment, "Sally also said that you have no objection to us choosing Whitney's song, what do you think?"

"I didn't say that." Yili shook her head with a smile——Keira threw a big pot out of thin air, turning her personal preference into a choice that seemed to be shared by two people. This little trick is really unkind .

Yili's original words were just to echo Kayla, not wanting to let Kayla down from the stage, and she used the word "should" to express possible guesses, but Kayla ignored these, making her an aggressive one. One, this made Yi Li feel dissatisfied.But this kind of black pot is too ugly to argue, so Yili can only smile, but she firmly denies Kayla's statement as a joke, and further explains, "I just think Whitney is very popular. That's all, we should make a decision on song selection together, shouldn't we?"

Since Keira intends to frame her, Yili is not going to save face for the other party. Respect is mutual. Keira is scheming, and Yili will not catch her without a fight—for all small calculations, the best solution is to share them completely. Under the sun, solve problems openly and openly.This is just a reality show, not a palace conspiracy. The contestants are all equal, and there is no need to hide their own ideas. Even if the program group may have a preference for the contestants, they will not interfere with these.

"..." Yili's blunt words made Kaila's face a bit embarrassed, but she also knew that she couldn't argue over such a trivial matter, just like she thought that Yili could suffer a dark loss from this, but now she She could only make herself suffer a little, and she could only remedially say, "What about your thoughts, Jonas? You know, I completely respect your thoughts."

If Kayla insists "that's what you said at the time", then Yili can completely repeat the original words to the effect that "he should not object to Whitney, but we should still ask him what he thinks", so that Kay Ra was completely wronged.Fortunately, Keira still had reason, restrained her unhappiness, and chose a relatively sensible approach.

"I can actually do both, but I'm not very good at Whitney songs." Jonas said good-naturedly--of course he was a little depressed when he heard Keira say that at first, but after Ellie explained After that, he was relieved, so he was able to talk again.

"I also like John Mayer very much, he plays the guitar so well." Yili also skipped the unpleasant scene just now, and continued cooperatively, "But, Jonas, there is no Mayer in the playlist. Do you have any other singers you like or are good at?"

"Ah, is that so?" Jonas scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "I haven't had time to look at the playlist yet, you know, I've only just arrived. Or, let me see, um, Hui Turney's singing is fine too, I actually like her but I'm not sure I can sing her well."

"It's okay, just practice a little more." Keira encouraged.

In the profession of dealing with people, she knows exactly how to make others happy, otherwise, why would she get generous tips.Compared with a meager salary, tips are an important income in the hospitality profession, but she didn't treat her teammates like a big-spending guest before, and her attitude was somewhat negligent.

However, when she needs to achieve her goals, she can also make herself very pleasing, "I think, you can come here through the harsh audition of the judges, and you must sing very well. As long as you practice a little, we You must be able to pass the competition! Seriously, you can even pass Simon's pass, what else can stop you?"

"Well, well..." Jonas was a little convinced, "However, I didn't pass Simon's level to be precise. I only got yes from Paula and Randy, and Simon gave me no." Said At this point, Jonas is a little frustrated.

"Me too, but it's not a big deal." Kayla shrugged and pouted, "Seriously, how many people in the world can get the praise of that mean person? As long as we pass these two rounds, we will never have to I saw him!"

"Yeah!" Encouraged, Jonas nodded heavily to Keira, fully agreeing with what Keira said.

"..." Yili was in a complicated mood, wondering if she should say something nice for Simon. After all, according to Keira, she was one of the few players in the world who received Simon's praise...

Yili thought about it seriously, but she didn't speak out for Simon.

When other colleagues in the company are attacking an unscrupulous boss, it is too out of place to say that the boss is not that bad.This can't really change other people's views, and it won't be considered rational and fair by others. If you don't do it well, it will arouse the resentment and hostility of others.

Even, for the boss himself, it is normal for his subordinates to complain behind his back.Which boss has not been scolded in private by his subordinates?As long as you can still work hard and create achievements for yourself after being scolded, it doesn't matter how much you scold.Therefore, the best way is to be a wallflower quietly, work hard, and be worthy of the appreciation of your boss.

Especially for Simon, since he is taking the route of poisonous tongue, it is inevitable for the players to complain in private. Even, to a certain extent, there are only a few players who have not complained about Simon.But what about complaining?Simon is still a bigwig in the industry, and the players are still working hard to enter the industry's little transparency. Maybe Simon himself doesn't care about such trivial matters.

"Then, let's settle on "Nothing"?" After complaining about Simon together, Keira and Jonas seem to have gotten closer, and Keira confirmed to each other easily and happily.

"Yeah." Jonas nodded, but there was still a hesitant look on his face.

"'Nothing' is too classic, it is very difficult to sing, and we have to think about how to sing harmony." Yili said Jonas' hidden worries, "In particular, Whitney's performance on the treble is too perfect It’s hard for us to surprise the judges.”

"But which song in the playlist is not a classic, and which song is not performed perfectly?" Keira asked.

If it is said that she was not confident about her choice before, but after getting the approval of Jonas, two to one, she has the confidence to make the other party compromise. When things are deadlocked, the most common solution is for the minority to obey the majority method.

"Well, if you say so." Yili frowned slightly, seeing that the other teammate seemed to have no objection, she simply didn't say anything more - in Whitney's song, the treble is handled quite delicately, if Ma Leah Kelly has also been criticized for having a three-stage voice, so Whitney's treble quality is impeccable.

As a male singer, Jonas should be inherently weak in this regard. Of course, if he is a talented tenor, that's another story.However, since Jonas himself doesn't care, Eli doesn't want to fight for him.The only thing that Yili cares about is whether Keira will continue to be strong like this.

The song for the three of them was decided, and the topic quickly moved to the next stage.

"So how do we sing then?" Jonas asked, "How will the lyrics be divided? How will the harmony be matched?"

"Let's look at what each is good at first. I'm good at treble. I want to sing the high pitch part." Kaila said naturally, the high pitch part is the most emotional, the most touching, and generally the most room for development. After speaking , she also cared about the other party, "What about you? Which part are you good at?"

"I'm good at middle and low notes, and I can also sing high notes, but not very well." Jonas felt a little weird, but he didn't realize that there was any obvious problem in Keira's words. right.

"Wait." Yili's most worried question came up, "I don't think we are a real band, and we shouldn't be divided into treble, alto, and bass. We should give everyone a chance to play, and everyone takes turns. Sing every part."

"But this is not suitable." Keira said with a smile, "I think we should give full play to our respective strengths and sing the best we can, instead of singing what we are not good at and exposing our weaknesses. Isn't it?"

"What if the parts that are good at overlap?" Yili also smiled. At first glance, what Keira said is not a problem, but after thinking about it, you can find her real purpose. Yili is not going to put the most room for development. Letting go, but I didn't want to argue about it, I just asked, "Leaving aside the technique, I'm good at middle and high notes, and you are good at high notes, how should we divide our parts?"

If Keira said that since this is the case, she is good at treble and Yili is good at middle and high notes, then it is fair to give all the alto part to Yili and all the treble part to her. Shocked by her brazenness, but anyone with a bit of a sense of shame would not make things so naked.

"..." The same is true for Keira, no matter how greedy she is, she can't say such a thing. This is too shameless, and she puts shamelessness on the table.If the judges asked how your lyrics were distributed, if you answered that way, the judges would definitely look at her strangely.But let her compromise like this, take turns singing according to what Yili said, and give up the benefits that belonged to her, Keira was still a little unwilling, so she reluctantly said, "It depends on who can sing better. It is the team that is responsible for the overall effect, besides, no matter the treble, midrange or bass, they all play the same, there is no difference."

"..." If there is no difference, why are you fighting for the high court part so much?Yili shrugged her shoulders, too lazy to complain, but she has no opinion on Keira's proposal, as long as she doesn't regret it, "Yes, I completely agree, we are a team. Let's put the harmony aside first, let's keep it simple." Divide the lyrics and go through them together? If there are differences, adjust them after practice?"

"Okay." Kayla breathed a sigh of relief, and finally solved the problem. In this way, even if the judges asked about the distribution of lyrics, it would be more decent to answer the question of whoever sings well will be responsible for the part, and it will also be promoted in disguise. own strength.

Ten minutes later, Kayla regretted it.

This is a simple exercise, so there is no accompaniment or soundtrack, just a cappella.

Jonas started first, he recalled the melody in his mind, and soon sang softly, "sharelife, takeforwham/causei'llneverchangeallcolorsforyou..."

The soft and beautiful singing sounded quietly in the room, and the male's deep and hoarse voice added an invisible melancholy to the singing.If Whitney's singing is like a pleasant spring breeze, with the natural and fresh fragrance of flowers after the rain, gently and slowly blowing into people's hearts, then Jonas' singing is like a man singing solo in the middle of the night. One can feel a kind of indescribable sadness.

The only regret is that there may be no soundtrack, and the song is too far away. Jonas is a little out of tune in the lyrics, and the turning point of the lyrics is slightly blunt, which destroys the invisible artistic conception.

After Jonas finished singing, Keira immediately opened her voice. She just volunteered to sing the first verse with Joannas, so the second half of the first verse was handed over to her, " takelove, i'll neveraskfortoomuch/justallthatyouareandeverythingthatyoudo…”

Yili sat on the side and listened carefully. Her first impression was that Keira chose this song for no reason. She is indeed very familiar with this song. Without accompaniment, it is almost completely out of tune. This is very remarkable.

However, her voice texture is far inferior to Whitney's, and she sings a little too deliberately. She wants to show that quiet and affectionate feeling, but it gives people a subtle and awkward feeling of excessive force.Even if she is better than Jonas in terms of melody and rhythm, most people will still like Jonas's version. The latter is an unfinished delicacy, but the future is very promising, while the former is It is a bowl of well-cooked cabbage, no matter how well it is cooked, it is also a cabbage that can be seen everywhere.

Keira was quite satisfied with her performance, especially in contrast with Jonas's out-of-tune, she thought she sang flawlessly.

Although it may be a bit arrogant to say so, but in imitating Whitney's singing, she feels that she cannot be said to be the best, but she is also at the eighth level of Whitney, especially when there is no accompaniment and no post-studio tuning. Down.

After the first verse, comes the second verse, and after Jonas, Keira is still responsible for the second half of the lyrics:

"can't run from myself

there's snow there hide—"

The last note was a small high note, and Kayla sang it selflessly, making a long dolphin note.

This is indeed different from Whitney. Whitney's singing is a mixture of bel canto and popular singing, so the quality of the treble is extremely good. It is a real and fake mix, with a sense of roundness and fullness. But the defect is that the upper limit of the vocal range is sacrificed. Of course, Whitney's vocal range is very wide, spanning five octaves, but it is impossible to maintain this sense of depth when singing to five octaves, but this It does not hinder her reputation as "America's No. [-] Voice" and "Voice of America" ​​at her peak.

Relatively speaking, Keira's singing style is actually a bit similar to Mariah Carey, who is famous for her rococo dolphin voice, but the defect is that the tone is thin and sharp, because the dolphin voice is originally It's the whistle sound, so some people ridiculed that this singing method is no different from screaming, but Maria's power is that she can speak words with a dolphin sound, instead of purely raising her voice like ordinary singers.It can be seen that divas all have their own strengths, and ordinary people can only bow down.

Of course, Keira's singing is definitely not as good as Maria's. If Maria's high voice is thin and sharp, then Keira's high voice is exhausted.She did sing that note, but it was not easy for her to sing, and even her cheeks were slightly flushed—there was neither a natural wide range nor a complement of singing skills. To sing such a difficult song, especially It is really difficult to have the original singer Zhuyu in front.

Perhaps, the only lucky thing for Keira is that she didn't realize this, and she felt pretty good about herself, so after singing the lyrics of Xiaolu's hand, she looked at Yili with a little complacency.

To be honest, she doesn't think she can sing better than Whitney, she still has self-knowledge, but she is also confident that she is better than most cover singers.Whitney's songs are so difficult to sing, not everyone can sing the feeling that hits the soul directly, she thinks she is already the best among cover singers.

This is not Keira's narcissism. In fact, besides the treble, Keira's rhythm and intonation are quite good, indeed better than most amateur singers, but her biggest mistake is that she met someone who could sing better than her. People who are better off, even if it is a very small probability, but it does happen...

Generally speaking, the chorus is followed by two verses, that is, Gao Chao, and then there is a transitional sentence, and then the chorus verse is repeated, and then the ending. This is the most common structure of popular songs.

After the two sang the main song, Yili got the chance to sing the chorus first-Keira has confidence in her singing skills, and she doesn't mind letting the other party sing first, and then use her own song to prove that she is the best. The one who sings better!

"don't make close one more door or don't wanna hurtany more..."

"staymyarmsyoudare/ormusmagineyouthere..."

A powerful lyric spit out from Yili's throat, and the continuous high-pitched voice full of emotion and ease made the two of them couldn't believe their ears!In a short line of lyrics, the word close reaches its peak, then turns sharply downhill naturally and smoothly, and then continues to climb to the peak in the arms of the next line, and immediately falls to the bottom...

That moment of hurricane and clear full treble, that free and easy switching of high and low, that calm and powerful breath, and even the vaguely reckless expression in the lyrics, all make people feel more deeply aware of the difference between the two singing skills while being excited and trembling. gap!

Use one word to describe it - stand up and down!

"don't walk away fromme..."

"ih□□enothing!nothing!nothing!"

Yili didn't care about the complex emotions of the two, she was completely focused when singing!

At the end of the chorus, in the last three consecutive sighs, she even sang the climax of the whole song!

It is obviously a cappella without accompaniment, but it seems that there is a silent accompaniment sounding in the room, giving people a deafening feeling!

"ion'th□□eyou, you, you, you, you..."

Until an extremely gentle ending, like a lover's confession by the pillow, a gentle whisper, an unswerving promise...

At this moment, the two finally recovered from the long ending.

After that, it was back to the main song, but at this time, neither of them had the interest to continue singing.

What could be more frustrating than trying hard when your opponent has succeeded?

That is, the opponent has achieved success without any effort!

Even knowing that the opponent has worked hard, the huge loss at this moment can almost break anyone!

Jonas opened his mouth, and rationally told him that he should continue singing, and his part was next, but emotionally, he also clearly realized that his singing and the other party's singing were not at the same level at all.If he continues to sing like this unconsciously, he will feel ashamed himself!Are you still not familiar with this song?Would it be better to practice more?Thinking of this, Jonas silently closed his mouth without meeting Keira's eyes.

Of course he understands Keira's plan, and also understands the bright and dark confrontation between these two girls. He doesn't care how they distribute their lyrics, as long as it doesn't affect his own performance. Due to the reason of the incident, he could only watch the fire from the other side in a daze, unable to do anything about what happened at this time.

Keira was not much better than Jonas, even, she was hit harder than the other party!

For her, she is sure about this song, and she is confident that she can stand out from the contestants with this song.In fact, Kayla was so excited and surprised when the song appeared on the short playlist after seeing the schedule.

She knew that her chance had come—this was a song she had prepared in advance, and she was going to perform it in the follow-up competition, but she didn't expect to be able to use it in this round.She carefully prepared dozens of songs, just like most contestants, even if she sang this song in advance, she still has a lot of candidate songs for future competitions.

However, the reality gave her a huge blow.

She is so confident that she can sing well, but compared to the other party's singing, the gap is so obvious.

Even if she hasn't started singing the chorus, she also knows how well she sings - when she is at her best, she can't sing the quality of the other party.No matter how unconvinced and determined she is, she still has this ability to taste.She can accept that she can't sing as well as Whitney, which is a matter of course, but she can't accept that she can't sing as well as the other party can sing casually.

In fact, Yili didn't sing casually. Even though time was limited, Yili tried her best to figure out the emotion of this song, and discovered her own resonance with this song. In addition, Yili did practice this song— ——Whitney's song is so classic, and her remix is ​​worth every singer's learning—that's why I can sing this feeling.

However, Keira was unaware of Yili's mental journey.

In her view, the fact is that she can't sing as well as the other party.

I completely lost myself.

Even if he ignored this gap and stubbornly sang the chorus again, it would only increase the humiliation.

Thinking of this, Keira's heart was full of frustration, loss, loss, and a touch of resentment.

Is my self-confidence and hard work so vulnerable to the other party's singing?

Obviously, it is her who should impress her teammates, not this girl who doesn't know what politeness is...

"Jonas?" Yili didn't realize that the two people on the opposite side had already been hit hard. In her opinion, this was just a demonstration of her own strength in the team, so as to gain the affirmation and respect of her teammates.She was also confident that she could sing better than Keira, but she didn't expect Keira to be so frustrated that even Jonas was affected.

"Ah... um..." Joance nodded indiscriminately, opened his mouth under the puzzled eyes of the other party, but didn't speak for a long time, and finally said falteringly, "I think we should practice by ourselves first, and then rehearse together Better……"

"Yes, we should indeed do this, but shouldn't we decide on the lyrics of each other first? Only then can we focus on practicing." Yili didn't understand the feelings of the two of them. If it were her, being beaten by others, she would win by gritting her teeth at most. Come back, even if you work hard to the death, you can't win back, and you will never admit defeat.Winning or losing is the result, you can accept it calmly, but admitting defeat is the mentality, once the mentality collapses, it will be difficult to recast.

"..." That's right, assigning lyrics, that's their goal at this time. However, facing this disparity in strength, the two of them couldn't calm down for a while.

Jonas looked up at Keira. It was the two of them who were arguing about the lyrics, and it had nothing to do with him. Keira's lips twitched for a moment, but she couldn't say anything. Are you just throwing in the towel?Hand over the power of choosing lyrics to the opponent?

A moment ago, she was so confident, vowing that whoever sings well will sing, but at this moment, she can't wait to stuff those words back into her throat!But it is absolutely impossible to let her continue to sing. If that is the case, the other party can sing better than her. Now that she hasn't sung, there should be room for redemption.

"That..." Thinking of what she was going to say, Keira couldn't help but blush, "I think we'll take turns singing, it's the fairest way, okay?"

Speaking of such a compromise, Kayla felt extremely ashamed in her heart—it would be great if the other party got out of the game now, and it would be best if something happened to her, and let the police take her away directly, and let her leave in a state of embarrassment, just like Players who have committed crimes before participating in the competition.

But even though she cursed in her heart, she still had to lower her stance to seek peace on the surface, which made Keira even more unwilling.

"Of course." Yili said happily.

Under Keira's disbelieving eyes, Yili nodded easily.

From Keira's reaction, Yili realized that she must sing better than her, otherwise Keira wouldn't just show weakness.In this case, although Yili can take advantage of the victory and pursue, as Keira said, whoever sings well will get the biggest piece of cake, but this is a bit of a waste of time.

Now that she is on the winning side, Yili is also confident that she will be the best player in the official competition. In this case, she might as well give up her benefits.

To put it more thoughtfully, if Yili sings the chorus alone, the judges will only think that she sings well, but if she sings with Keira, the judges will think that she not only sings well, but more importantly, sings better than Kayla. Ra is even better, and the higher Kayla gets, the more she gets.

Furthermore, once Yili occupies all the lyrics of the chorus, with Keira's character, will she just accept it?

No, absolutely not!

Even though she and Keira have only been together for less than an afternoon, Yili knows that the other party is not the kind of person who is easy to talk to.

At that time, Kayla was barefoot, and Yili was wearing shoes. It was hard to guarantee that Kayla would not complain in front of the judges. Yili believed that under such circumstances, Kayla would definitely do such a thing.

Yili doesn't want to be taken off the water by the opponent, she just wants to compete well and perform well, so she accepts it when she sees it, and doesn't want to be unreasonable-the competition will teach Kaila to be a man, Yili sings better than Kaila, but singing Yili is not the only one who is better than Keira.

Even if Keira passed this round by chance, she will continue to fail sooner or later in the future competitions.

"Then, for the two rounds of chorus, which one of us will come first?" Yi Li asked with a look of tolerance.

"..." The other party's attitude is so good, Keira is a little flattered!She knew that girls are definitely not the kind of people who are easy to talk and bully. On the contrary, on some issues, the other party even seemed a little bit unwilling to give in. But now, judging from her tone, it seems that she is not only willing to take turns with her, but also willing to take turns with her. Give yourself the power to choose successively?

Is she damn saint?So good-tempered at this time? !

Ask yourself, Kayla would never be able to achieve this level by herself. If it were her, she would have been showing off her power a long time ago——Kyla is still a little clear about herself, although she may have misunderstood her own strength, but as a She still knew that she was a bit of a savior, because of this, the girl's magnanimity at this time surprised her even more, and made her feel even more complicated...

At this moment, Keira seriously thought about whether to make further progress, but when she looked up at the girl's eyes that seemed to be smiling, Keira always felt that it was full of words that were not easy to mess with, as if she was saying, "Give me some understanding, don't Shame on my old lady..." Thinking of this, Kaila also withered, not daring to be arrogant, but said a little weakly, "You can sing first, I can do it."

"Well, don't you want to sing first?" Yili was really surprised. She thought that Keira would naturally choose to sing first when she showed her kindness. After all, she had a preconceived advantage.She didn't expect that Kayla had already been intimidated by her "unknowingly", so she was very cautious now.If Yili knew that she had such a "deterrence", she would definitely not be able to help but laugh out loud.

"Can I?" Keira heard that Yili seemed to mean this, and she was pleasantly surprised, apprehensive, and a little unbelievable.

"Of course." Yili showed a hearty smile - if she sang first, the judges would think she sang well, and when it was Kayla's turn, they would probably think Kayla sang poorly, or not good enough; but Kayla If Ra sang first, the judges might think that Kayla sang well, and when it was her turn, they would think she sang better and better.

There is a gap only when there is a comparison. Whether it is for Yili or Keira, this is the way to maximize the benefits.

From the bottom of her heart, Yili doesn't appreciate Keira's character and behavior very much, but since Keira has subdued, Yili doesn't want to kill them all. If it can be a win-win situation, why not?Besides, there are only so many people who can advance to the competition. Compared with those who are not sure at all, at least Yili already knows about Keira, and Kayla's promotion is not harmful to Yili.

Now she can win Kayla once, and she can win a second time later.

"Then let me sing first." Keira smiled, feeling jealous and grateful at the same time.

"Okay." Yili nodded happily, "Then let's discuss the specific distribution of lyrics."

"Okay." Both of them nodded.
