[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show
Chapter 291 American Super Forte
"Thank you Bertha for the wonderful performance."
Compared with the loss and remorse of the fans, Ryan's mentality is much calmer, and he is even more happy to see this change in Bertha - it is not a bad thing to be able to grow and become stronger.
"Next, let's listen to the evaluations of the instructors."
Ryan looked at the instructor's seat next to him.
"Adam, what do you think of Bertha's performance tonight?" Ryan first asked Bertha's mentor.
"Well, I must say that Bertha's performance tonight has exceeded all of our expectations." Adam, who was named, crossed his fingers and placed them on the table in front of him. Full of seriousness, "Before tonight, Bertha has always given us the feeling of a simple girl who is detached and follows her heart. Of course, this is not a bad thing. But it is not so much a kind of maverick, it is better to say that It's a kind of self-exile, just like she felt that the world was too cruel and didn't want to face it, so she just buried her head in the pure world that only belonged to herself."
"..." Bertha lowered her eyelashes slightly, and Adam's words did speak to a part of her heart—indeed, perhaps her background was better than most people's, but this does not mean that the world she saw was better than most people's. People are wonderful.Or, on the contrary, the higher you stand, the more clearly you can see the shady scenes that many ordinary people can't see in their lifetime.In this regard, Bertha neither wanted to join forces with others, nor was able to change them. Therefore, she could do nothing but escape, so she could only build a barrier for herself that seemed indestructible but was actually vulnerable.
At this moment, another person's temperature suddenly came from the hands hanging by his side.
Bertha knew without raising her head that this was the silent support from her friends.
What would Sally do if she were in her situation?Bertha thought involuntarily.
Maybe it was a silent but firm struggle, maybe it was decisively drawing a line, and then leaving completely without hesitation, but most likely, Sally would still choose to use her own power to change all the things she disagreed with.
Because, the seemingly decisive Sally is actually not the kind of person who gives up lightly.On the contrary, in the process of getting along with the two, Bertha can clearly see how much Sally cherishes everything she has, whether it is her talent-every mentor and every player knows that Sally is in private The bottom line is how hard she thinks and practices. Every time she surprises everyone, her performance does not appear out of thin air. All of Sally's current achievements are the result of watering with her own sweat; it is also the friends around her——as Sally Li's closest friend, Bertha should be the one who has the most say. If it is said that she only gave Sally goodwill at the beginning, then what Sally paid her back was [-]% sincerity. This is true for her and for others. is also like this.
Therefore, Bertha took it for granted every time someone said how popular Sally was, or how unbelievably good she was.Anyone who has ever interacted with Sally knows what a genuine person Sally is.Facing Sally, you never need to worry about being let down, you only worry about whether you will let her down, because as long as you are recognized by her, you can get all unreserved consideration and kindness from her.This is Sally's greatest charisma.
Therefore, for Bertha, her biggest gain in this competition is not so much the most sincere and precious friendship, but rather that she has found the best role model in life—whether she will be in music or not. Going down this road, at least, Bertha is no longer confused about her future life.
If you can't agree with it, try to change it!
This was the most important lesson Sally taught her.
Just like, it’s also public relations. Some people use power, money, power, and power trading to gain privileges and benefits, wantonly commit crimes, hurt others, and use this to cover up the fact of crime, but Sally can use this kind of profit lever to pry Mobilizing the power of all parties, lobbying others, revealing the truth, and protecting the truly innocent—this is what touched Bertha the most, and this was the case when Sally was in the middle of the competition and she had very few resources available to her.
"However, Bertha." Adam continued at the tutor's seat, "tonight, you showed us a completely different side. On this night, you were so brave, so firm, and so tolerant, like a bruised But still smiling at the heroine everyone admires—if I hadn't witnessed all this with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it was really you, and not Sally or anyone else. But I want to say, Bertha, this You are so cool!"
"That's right." Farrell also echoed, "Bertha, you are definitely the coolest and cutest girl I've ever seen, bar none."
"To be honest, I hate this guy Adam, but I love girls like you to death." Christina also smiled and added, "You are telling others with your performance that women can also be powerful. Whether it is the strength displayed in the game or the ability to withstand pressure, you are no weaker than the boys. I think that in today's feminism, this kind of real performance is better than any gorgeous but empty propaganda They are all convincing. Really, each of you is a role model for contemporary girls!"
Christina's heartfelt words of affirmation won applause from the audience.
The three instructors also applauded non-stop.
"Very well said, Christina." Adam said bluntly, "but I want to say, no matter how much you hate me, I will always love you."
"Well, I actually love you too." Christina joked with a chuckle, "For Sally and Bertha's sake."
"For whoever's sake." Receiving an affirmative answer, Adam jumped off his mentor chair and walked over to Christina, "Come on, old man, give me a hug and let's forget about the previous ones." Not happy."
"Of course." Christina bent down and hugged Adam cooperatively.
The two mentors cleared up their suspicions, and the audience was satisfied with the friendly development of the plot.
"So, Blake?" Ryan looked at the last mentor who didn't comment.
"Is it my turn?" Blake thought for a while, and said, "Well, actually, I think Adam and the others have said enough, and what I have to say, I can only say that tonight, Bertha's performance really made me Each of our mentors was very pleasantly surprised. In fact, before this, Bertha’s growth has not been so obvious compared to the obvious improvement of other players. Of course, we can still see her hard work, which is undeniable. However, today, on the night of the finals, Bertha showed us a different version of her, a real her, a metamorphosis like a butterfly.
To be honest, I really want to use the ugly duckling and the white swan to describe this change, but a beautiful and lovely little girl like our Bertha really doesn't match up with the ugly duckling, does it?However, Bertha, tonight, there is no doubt that you are the Swan Princess in the hearts of all of us.I think, even if one day, a big devil really appears, you don't need a prince, you will be able to defeat him and break his curse by yourself, because you are so powerful now.Really, anyway, tonight, you made a very good memory for us, thank you, Bertha. "
Blake used two stories to express his feelings, the former is Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, and the latter is the Russian folklore "Swan Lake", based on which the famous composer Tchaikovsky created the popular ballet of the same name.
In the story, the swan princess breaks the curse by virtue of her love with the prince. The prince wipes out the devil and lives a happy life with the princess.But if it's Bertha, as Blake said, probably you don't need a prince to defeat the devil.This may be because, even if there is no prince, she still has herself, and has equally trustworthy and equally powerful friends.
"Thank you, Blake."
The audience chuckled at Blake's witty comments, and Bertha also curled her lips to thank the mentors.
"And Adam, Christina, Farrell, thank you for your comments, it means a lot to me."
"For me, tonight is really a crucial night, not only because it's our final, but also because, in this performance, I found my true self, I have a clear path for my future, and I know that I want To be who I am, to know how I can become who I want to be. That's more important than anything else."
Bertha's words were a little twisted, but everyone understood.
The audience burst into applause again, and the audience who witnessed Bertha's growth all the way were deeply moved. No one thought that the girl who was immersed in her own world at the beginning would grow into the confident and powerful appearance she is today.
Maybe, like the line that Sally sang - "what doesn't kill you makes you stranger".
Everything that doesn't break you makes you stronger.
"I feel the comments of the four instructors, and I also thank Bertha for the wonderful performance."
Ryan and the audience applauded together, and at the same time briefly mentioned a few words of his own opinion.
"Indeed, in our impression, Bertha has always been the girl who enjoys her own music safely, but unconsciously, Bertha has also come out of her own world, bravely facing this may not be good, but It’s also a world of love and wonder. I’m happy to see this change in Bertha, but I’m also curious about the changes in the other players, how about you?”
"Of course!" "So do we!" The audience shouted in unison from the audience.
"Okay, then, let's welcome - Rachel!"
Amidst the cheers of the audience, the girl whose name was called by Ryan walked to the center of the stage gracefully.
"I still remember Rachel's appearance on this stage for the first time." Looking at the generous and sweet Rachel, Ryan was filled with emotion, "At that time, Rachel was so shy and reserved, as if she couldn't even I don’t even know where to put my hands.”
"Now I know." Rachel replied with a smile, the shyness of the past was faintly visible on her face, and soon it was replaced by a more confident and optimistic look, "Holding the microphone in one hand, and greeting you with the other, just Like now.” While speaking, Rachel stretched out her left hand and waved lightly to the audience, “Or, it’s fine to hold the microphone with both hands.”
"Well, so the point is actually the mic, right?" Ryan joked.
"Of course." Rachel replied playfully, "Without a microphone, how can I convey my singing to you?"
"Wow, that's very well said!" Ryan exclaimed a little exaggeratedly. Obviously, Rachel's answer was a bit beyond his imagination, but it obviously pleased everyone including him, especially Taiwan. The audience below, when they heard Rachel's sweet words, screamed louder and louder.
"So, Rachel, what song are you going to sing today?" Ryan quickly returned to the topic
""skin", from rag'n'boneman." Rachel quietly tightened her hands holding the microphone. Obviously, even though she had acted smart and decent before, deep down, Rachel was still a little nervous about the final .
"Well, the overall style of this song seems to be different from your previous selections?" Ryan asked curiously.
"Yes, but Blake and I have made some adaptations to make it more suitable for me." Rachel glanced in Blake's direction, and Blake gave her an encouraging smile from afar, so Rachel heart He also gradually calmed down.
"Okay, let's wait and see Rachel's version of "skin"!"
Ryan quickly walked off the stage.
(Rachel is speaking in the competition, because I feel that the writing is average, it can be regarded as matching the competition process orz
Then I got home too late yesterday, I fell asleep after taking a shower, I'm really sorry for being dove again...)
The author has something to say: "wheniheardthatsound/whenthewallscamdown/
I was thinking about you/about you..."
When I heard those words, when the walls of my heart fell down, I missed you so much...
Different from the vicissitudes and rough male voice of the original singer, Rachel's voice is a pure and sweet girlish voice.
The two completely different timbres bring the audience very different feelings.
Even if Rachel doesn't make any adaptations of this song, it's hard to say that her singing has any similarities with the original, except for the established melody.Not to mention that after the adaptation, re-arranging, changing the accompaniment instruments, reducing the sense of pop, and adding more country elements, Rachel's personal style has already dominated the song.
At least, on this night, at this moment, the song belonged to Rachel.
And Rachel is also performing this song with all her heart.
Her life experience is very simple, so simple that before participating in this competition, she almost never left the small town of her hometown.Just like tens of thousands of small-town girls in the United States, even if they fantasize about the hustle and bustle of a big city, they can only be silent in the tranquility of a small city.That small town carried all her joys, sorrows and joys, as well as all her bitterness and sweetness.
But her life is also very complicated. The background of being discriminated against, the happy and short childhood, the girlhood full of gossip, and the difficult and hard working period after graduating from high school, all the pain and endurance constitute her the whole life.
She longs for love, but is afraid of being hurt. She longs for family affection, but is doomed not to get it.
It wasn't her fault her parentage.
The misfortune of those around her was not her fault.
But people tend to blame it all on her.
So, she can only laugh in one person's singing, and shed tears in one person's singing.
Sometimes, how much Rachel wishes to go back to her most innocent and ignorant childhood.
At that time, even though my mother was depressed, her life was not over yet.
No matter what gossip she hears outside, no matter what bullying she receives outside, when she returns home, her mother's gentle hug can always make her forget all those troubles, and then she can surround her mother carefree Hemlines, chirping to share what he sees, even on the tiniest adventures of a child.
It's just that occasionally she would think of it, what kind of mood did her mother feel when she heard the bullying she suffered?Does the mother's smiling eyes also contain faint tears?So, one day not long after, I walked slowly to the middle of the lake and never came up again...
Perhaps, it was from that day that Rachel learned to be patient.
If I didn't tell my mother about those sad things, would the ending be different?
The mother will not be so sad, her depression will not worsen, and maybe one day, she will be able to smile again.
However, there are many things that are not what if...
Just like on the first day here, facing the young man who wantonly made fun of others, if Rachel was alone, no matter how ashamed and distressed, she would just bear it, just as she always did, as if That way, no one will be hurt and she will not be blamed, even if she is innocent...
"secondsfromheart/abulletfromthedark/
helpless, isurrender/shackledyourlove..."
At the moment when the mother threw herself into the lake, a fatal bullet came in the long night of her fate.
That bullet pierced her heart mercilessly, taking away her childhood and affecting her entire life.
At that moment, she was so helpless and terrified, because she clearly realized that the person who loved her the most in the world was gone, no matter how much she prayed, her mother would not come back, leaving her only the old Warmth and memory—maybe, that is the shackles called love, even if it is the love from mother.
Mother must love her.
It's just that for the mother, this world is too painful, so she can no longer support it, so she chooses to let go.
For so many years, Rachel had to hold such an idea, and had to convince herself desperately in order to persevere.
"only when it's over/the silence hitshard...
'cause wasalmostlove, wasalmostlove...
it was salt most love, was salt most love..."
But even so, the days after the mother left were still so difficult.
No matter how much grandparents care about her, they cannot replace mother after all.
When she was scolded, bullied, slandered, and isolated, what she missed most was always her mother.
It was clearly "itwasalmostlove", but to everyone's ears, it seemed to be "theyalmostkilledme..."
Perhaps, this is Rachel's true feelings.
During her growth, if she was not strong at all, she would have been killed by those rumors.
No one will take responsibility for the injuries she suffered, but those injuries were done and affect her to this day.
"carrying the load, with wings that feel like stone /
knowing that nearly fell farnow/
it's hard to tell..."
Those cruel gossips were like heavy boulders, pressing deeply on her soft wings, suppressing all the possibility of spreading her wings and flying high. Even though there was a small flame of hope in her heart, she still felt uncomfortable. support.
And she and her mother seem to be gradually drifting away. Life and death are the furthest distance in the world. Even the impression of her mother in her mind seems to fade with time. Sometimes, she can't even tell the difference. , Did mother really love her?Wasn't that gentle mother really something she imagined?Or, as those people said, after the father she had never met abandoned them, the mother also chose to abandon her. Is this the truth?
She has been unable to tell the difference...
"wheniheardthatsound/whenthewallscamdown/
I was thinking about you/about you..."
She only knows how much she misses her mother and the beauty of the past every time she hears those merciless words, every time the wall of her heart collapses and rebuilds...
"'cause wasalmostlove, wasalmostlove...
it was salt most love, was salt most love..."
they most killed me...
they most killed me...
This is the real cry in Rachel's heart.
"Rachel!"
The audience also gently shouted Rachel's name from the audience.
Maybe many of them don't know Rachel's growth experience, but through this sad song, everyone can feel how difficult this girl's life is, and how fragile she really is .
She is so fragile that just a small negation can make her completely defeated...
"Thank you, thank you."
Rachel quietly wiped away the water stains in front of her eyes by bending over, then raised her head, and faced everyone with a smile again.
"Rachel." Ryan walked onto the stage silently, and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly. Everyone who paid attention to Rachel knew something about Rachel's background and growth experience. Under the girl's gentle and lovely appearance, It is her deeply unconfident heart.
"I think, this song is very special to you, isn't it?" Ryan asked softly.
"Yes." Rachel nodded slightly, "Every time I encounter setbacks and miss my family, I will sing this song. For me, this is a song that conveys and releases feelings, and It's not just a song about expressing love."
"So, you decided to sing this song in the final?" Ryan continued.
"That's right." Rachel's eyes were slightly watery, which made her blue eyes more like a sad lake, "You know, for me, neither father nor mother can appear At the final scene.
For the former, I don't expect him since I've never met him, and for the latter, my mother, you know, I'll never see her again, no matter how much I miss her.If possible, I am willing to pay any price in exchange for her standing on the stage right now, but..." But everyone knows that this is impossible.
Rachel turned her head slightly, and wiped away the wet marks on her eyes again.
Among the audience, there was no lack of emotion, and they almost shed tears when they heard the words.
More than one person left a message, expressing that they fully understand Rachel's feelings. At an important moment in their lives, the most important person is forever absent. What a regrettable and painful experience.
"No matter where she is, she will be proud of you when she sees you at this moment." Ryan comforted again.
"Thank you, Ryan." Rachel smiled gratefully at Ryan.
"Then, let's listen to the opinions of the mentors." Ryan looked at the mentor seat, "Blake?"
"Okay." Blake sat upright, looking at Rachel with extremely gentle eyes, "First of all, let me say, Rachel, your performance tonight has exceeded all of our expectations, including me. Yes, as a mentor, I have witnessed every practice of yours, but compared to your performance tonight, those exercises are so insignificant.
I've always believed that the emotion in a song is the true soul of a song, and tonight you showed us all how touching a song with soul can be!Maybe you didn't pay attention when you sang on stage, but I can clearly see how many audiences shed tears in your singing——
We've all lost someone important, you too, me too, everyone, and we've all lost our hearts and souls because of it.Relief from others may relieve this pain, but it cannot really change anything, because it is a wound that cannot be healed by words.Maybe, only time can heal this wound, or maybe, in the face of the most real pain, even time is powerless.At least, for me, for you, so far, we can't forget the pain caused by the death of our loved ones, can't we?
But anyway, tonight, you really moved us deeply.You showed us how painful it is when a child loses his mother, and how that pain affects a person.It's true that you haven't gotten over it yet, but I totally understand that.
Finally, I want to say, Rachel, even with the weight of the past, even with the pain of growing up, you still take your life so seriously and make changes as much as you can, really, You are great Rachel! "
"Thank you, Blake." Rachel said emotionally to her mentor.
"Also, I would like to add one more point." Blake also smiled at Rachel, and before Ryan turned the topic over to the other mentors, he added, "We all know that for a young girl like Rachel How difficult it is to stand on the stage of the finals, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle.
Really, Rachel has so little compared to many other players.Whether it's Nadia, Grace or someone else, at least they can come to the competition without any worries and have the full support of their families.But for Rachel, it's pretty much her one-man game.The grandparents who brought her up single-handedly are old. Her grandfather is sick in bed all year round, and her grandmother has to take care of her grandfather. The two old people are really not suitable for long-distance travel. Therefore, only her uncle came to the scene today Just one family.I think no matter how good their relationship is, they can't really replace the role of parents.
But this game is so important to her, this may be the only chance in Rachel's life to completely change her destiny.Therefore, Rachel and I were very cautious about the whole final.We pre-selected a lot of songs, but in the end we settled on this song because it was a song that completely reflected Rachel's heart. "
Most importantly, this is also a song that will never have a direct conflict with Sally and Bertha.
After all, there is one thing to say, if you really want to fight Sally, not only Rachel has no confidence, but Blake has no confidence at all.
Moreover, the relationship between the three girls is already good. What's even more rare is that this friendship is not just on the surface, but from their hearts. Therefore, whether it is for the game scene or for their future development, Blake They don't want this competition to be too fierce, which will affect the relationship between the girls-it can be seen that Blake really thinks about Rachel.
However, Blake also hopes that Rachel can win the championship, at least, to have a chance to win the championship, instead of giving the championship to Sally in vain.Of course, Sally's strength is indeed worthy of this championship, but as Blake said before, this game is too important to Rachel, if she can win the game, more importantly, if she can win the game The invincible Sally must be of great benefit to Rachel's future development. Of course, the gold content of this champion will also increase infinitely.
Therefore, out of various considerations, Blake chose this unexpected song for Rachel, but it might be a surprise song. Not to mention, at least neither Sally nor Bertha would choose this style. In this way, head-on conflicts are avoided, and with Rachel's sensitive and delicate character, she will definitely be able to perform this song well.
Facts have also proved that Rachel did perform very well tonight, and the reaction of the audience is the best evidence.
In any case, he and Rachel have done everything they can, from song selection strategy to live performance, they have done their best.Everything after that can only be handed over to God.Let God decide if Rachel deserves this title.
Blake thought calmly.
"Well, thanks Blake for the great review."
Ryan nodded again and again when he heard it. Of course, he also heard the meaning of canvassing in Blake's words, but as a mentor, this is also a matter of course. In other words, it is precisely because Blake is a responsible mentor that he will Willing to speak for his players to this point, which is why Blake has been able to become a champion mentor many times.
"Then, let us listen to the opinions of other instructors."
Ryan handed over the topic to the other three mentors.
The three also expressed their opinions one after another, but they all affirmed Rachel's performance tonight-today, the players are no longer what they used to be, and those big and small mistakes in the past will never happen easily again What's more, this is the most important final, the contestants and their mentors will only strive for perfection, and there will never be obvious mistakes.
Of course, Rachel's performance tonight is indeed remarkable. Among other things, this purely lyrical song gave everyone a great sense of freshness.From this point of view, Blake's song selection is indeed very smart. It not only fits Rachel's own personality and style, but also takes into account the audience's perception of listening to the song. It is really wise.
Therefore, the instructors could only routinely praise Rachel, and then return the topic to Ryan.
"Thank you to the three instructors for their comments." Ryan said routinely, "At the same time, I also thank Rachel for her wonderful performance."
"Then, the last one to appear tonight is our—Sally!"
Compared with the loss and remorse of the fans, Ryan's mentality is much calmer, and he is even more happy to see this change in Bertha - it is not a bad thing to be able to grow and become stronger.
"Next, let's listen to the evaluations of the instructors."
Ryan looked at the instructor's seat next to him.
"Adam, what do you think of Bertha's performance tonight?" Ryan first asked Bertha's mentor.
"Well, I must say that Bertha's performance tonight has exceeded all of our expectations." Adam, who was named, crossed his fingers and placed them on the table in front of him. Full of seriousness, "Before tonight, Bertha has always given us the feeling of a simple girl who is detached and follows her heart. Of course, this is not a bad thing. But it is not so much a kind of maverick, it is better to say that It's a kind of self-exile, just like she felt that the world was too cruel and didn't want to face it, so she just buried her head in the pure world that only belonged to herself."
"..." Bertha lowered her eyelashes slightly, and Adam's words did speak to a part of her heart—indeed, perhaps her background was better than most people's, but this does not mean that the world she saw was better than most people's. People are wonderful.Or, on the contrary, the higher you stand, the more clearly you can see the shady scenes that many ordinary people can't see in their lifetime.In this regard, Bertha neither wanted to join forces with others, nor was able to change them. Therefore, she could do nothing but escape, so she could only build a barrier for herself that seemed indestructible but was actually vulnerable.
At this moment, another person's temperature suddenly came from the hands hanging by his side.
Bertha knew without raising her head that this was the silent support from her friends.
What would Sally do if she were in her situation?Bertha thought involuntarily.
Maybe it was a silent but firm struggle, maybe it was decisively drawing a line, and then leaving completely without hesitation, but most likely, Sally would still choose to use her own power to change all the things she disagreed with.
Because, the seemingly decisive Sally is actually not the kind of person who gives up lightly.On the contrary, in the process of getting along with the two, Bertha can clearly see how much Sally cherishes everything she has, whether it is her talent-every mentor and every player knows that Sally is in private The bottom line is how hard she thinks and practices. Every time she surprises everyone, her performance does not appear out of thin air. All of Sally's current achievements are the result of watering with her own sweat; it is also the friends around her——as Sally Li's closest friend, Bertha should be the one who has the most say.

Therefore, for Bertha, her biggest gain in this competition is not so much the most sincere and precious friendship, but rather that she has found the best role model in life—whether she will be in music or not. Going down this road, at least, Bertha is no longer confused about her future life.
If you can't agree with it, try to change it!
This was the most important lesson Sally taught her.
Just like, it’s also public relations. Some people use power, money, power, and power trading to gain privileges and benefits, wantonly commit crimes, hurt others, and use this to cover up the fact of crime, but Sally can use this kind of profit lever to pry Mobilizing the power of all parties, lobbying others, revealing the truth, and protecting the truly innocent—this is what touched Bertha the most, and this was the case when Sally was in the middle of the competition and she had very few resources available to her.
"However, Bertha." Adam continued at the tutor's seat, "tonight, you showed us a completely different side. On this night, you were so brave, so firm, and so tolerant, like a bruised But still smiling at the heroine everyone admires—if I hadn't witnessed all this with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it was really you, and not Sally or anyone else. But I want to say, Bertha, this You are so cool!"
"That's right." Farrell also echoed, "Bertha, you are definitely the coolest and cutest girl I've ever seen, bar none."
"To be honest, I hate this guy Adam, but I love girls like you to death." Christina also smiled and added, "You are telling others with your performance that women can also be powerful. Whether it is the strength displayed in the game or the ability to withstand pressure, you are no weaker than the boys. I think that in today's feminism, this kind of real performance is better than any gorgeous but empty propaganda They are all convincing. Really, each of you is a role model for contemporary girls!"
Christina's heartfelt words of affirmation won applause from the audience.
The three instructors also applauded non-stop.
"Very well said, Christina." Adam said bluntly, "but I want to say, no matter how much you hate me, I will always love you."
"Well, I actually love you too." Christina joked with a chuckle, "For Sally and Bertha's sake."
"For whoever's sake." Receiving an affirmative answer, Adam jumped off his mentor chair and walked over to Christina, "Come on, old man, give me a hug and let's forget about the previous ones." Not happy."
"Of course." Christina bent down and hugged Adam cooperatively.
The two mentors cleared up their suspicions, and the audience was satisfied with the friendly development of the plot.
"So, Blake?" Ryan looked at the last mentor who didn't comment.
"Is it my turn?" Blake thought for a while, and said, "Well, actually, I think Adam and the others have said enough, and what I have to say, I can only say that tonight, Bertha's performance really made me Each of our mentors was very pleasantly surprised. In fact, before this, Bertha’s growth has not been so obvious compared to the obvious improvement of other players. Of course, we can still see her hard work, which is undeniable.

"
Blake used two stories to express his feelings, the former is Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, and the latter is the Russian folklore "Swan Lake", based on which the famous composer Tchaikovsky created the popular ballet of the same name.
In the story, the swan princess breaks the curse by virtue of her love with the prince. The prince wipes out the devil and lives a happy life with the princess.But if it's Bertha, as Blake said, probably you don't need a prince to defeat the devil.This may be because, even if there is no prince, she still has herself, and has equally trustworthy and equally powerful friends.

The audience chuckled at Blake's witty comments, and Bertha also curled her lips to thank the mentors.
"And Adam, Christina, Farrell, thank you for your comments, it means a lot to me."
"For me, tonight is really a crucial night, not only because it's our final, but also because, in this performance, I found my true self, I have a clear path for my future, and I know that I want To be who I am, to know how I can become who I want to be. That's more important than anything else."
Bertha's words were a little twisted, but everyone understood.
The audience burst into applause again, and the audience who witnessed Bertha's growth all the way were deeply moved. No one thought that the girl who was immersed in her own world at the beginning would grow into the confident and powerful appearance she is today.
Maybe, like the line that Sally sang - "what doesn't kill you makes you stranger".
Everything that doesn't break you makes you stronger.
"I feel the comments of the four instructors, and I also thank Bertha for the wonderful performance."
Ryan and the audience applauded together, and at the same time briefly mentioned a few words of his own opinion.
"Indeed, in our impression, Bertha has always been the girl who enjoys her own music safely, but unconsciously, Bertha has also come out of her own world, bravely facing this may not be good, but It’s also a world of love and wonder. I’m happy to see this change in Bertha, but I’m also curious about the changes in the other players, how about you?”
"Of course!" "So do we!" The audience shouted in unison from the audience.
"Okay, then, let's welcome - Rachel!"
Amidst the cheers of the audience, the girl whose name was called by Ryan walked to the center of the stage gracefully.
"I still remember Rachel's appearance on this stage for the first time." Looking at the generous and sweet Rachel, Ryan was filled with emotion, "At that time, Rachel was so shy and reserved, as if she couldn't even I don’t even know where to put my hands.”
"Now I know." Rachel replied with a smile, the shyness of the past was faintly visible on her face, and soon it was replaced by a more confident and optimistic look, "Holding the microphone in one hand, and greeting you with the other, just Like now.” While speaking, Rachel stretched out her left hand and waved lightly to the audience, “Or, it’s fine to hold the microphone with both hands.”
"Well, so the point is actually the mic, right?" Ryan joked.
"Of course." Rachel replied playfully, "Without a microphone, how can I convey my singing to you?"
"Wow, that's very well said!" Ryan exclaimed a little exaggeratedly. Obviously, Rachel's answer was a bit beyond his imagination, but it obviously pleased everyone including him, especially Taiwan. The audience below, when they heard Rachel's sweet words, screamed louder and louder.
"So, Rachel, what song are you going to sing today?" Ryan quickly returned to the topic
""skin", from rag'n'boneman." Rachel quietly tightened her hands holding the microphone. Obviously, even though she had acted smart and decent before, deep down, Rachel was still a little nervous about the final .
"Well, the overall style of this song seems to be different from your previous selections?" Ryan asked curiously.
"Yes, but Blake and I have made some adaptations to make it more suitable for me." Rachel glanced in Blake's direction, and Blake gave her an encouraging smile from afar, so Rachel heart He also gradually calmed down.
"Okay, let's wait and see Rachel's version of "skin"!"
Ryan quickly walked off the stage.
(Rachel is speaking in the competition, because I feel that the writing is average, it can be regarded as matching the competition process orz
Then I got home too late yesterday, I fell asleep after taking a shower, I'm really sorry for being dove again...)
The author has something to say: "wheniheardthatsound/whenthewallscamdown/
I was thinking about you/about you..."
When I heard those words, when the walls of my heart fell down, I missed you so much...
Different from the vicissitudes and rough male voice of the original singer, Rachel's voice is a pure and sweet girlish voice.
The two completely different timbres bring the audience very different feelings.
Even if Rachel doesn't make any adaptations of this song, it's hard to say that her singing has any similarities with the original, except for the established melody.Not to mention that after the adaptation, re-arranging, changing the accompaniment instruments, reducing the sense of pop, and adding more country elements, Rachel's personal style has already dominated the song.
At least, on this night, at this moment, the song belonged to Rachel.
And Rachel is also performing this song with all her heart.
Her life experience is very simple, so simple that before participating in this competition, she almost never left the small town of her hometown.Just like tens of thousands of small-town girls in the United States, even if they fantasize about the hustle and bustle of a big city, they can only be silent in the tranquility of a small city.That small town carried all her joys, sorrows and joys, as well as all her bitterness and sweetness.
But her life is also very complicated. The background of being discriminated against, the happy and short childhood, the girlhood full of gossip, and the difficult and hard working period after graduating from high school, all the pain and endurance constitute her the whole life.
She longs for love, but is afraid of being hurt. She longs for family affection, but is doomed not to get it.
It wasn't her fault her parentage.
The misfortune of those around her was not her fault.
But people tend to blame it all on her.
So, she can only laugh in one person's singing, and shed tears in one person's singing.
Sometimes, how much Rachel wishes to go back to her most innocent and ignorant childhood.
At that time, even though my mother was depressed, her life was not over yet.
No matter what gossip she hears outside, no matter what bullying she receives outside, when she returns home, her mother's gentle hug can always make her forget all those troubles, and then she can surround her mother carefree Hemlines, chirping to share what he sees, even on the tiniest adventures of a child.
It's just that occasionally she would think of it, what kind of mood did her mother feel when she heard the bullying she suffered?Does the mother's smiling eyes also contain faint tears?So, one day not long after, I walked slowly to the middle of the lake and never came up again...
Perhaps, it was from that day that Rachel learned to be patient.
If I didn't tell my mother about those sad things, would the ending be different?
The mother will not be so sad, her depression will not worsen, and maybe one day, she will be able to smile again.
However, there are many things that are not what if...
Just like on the first day here, facing the young man who wantonly made fun of others, if Rachel was alone, no matter how ashamed and distressed, she would just bear it, just as she always did, as if That way, no one will be hurt and she will not be blamed, even if she is innocent...
"secondsfromheart/abulletfromthedark/
helpless, isurrender/shackledyourlove..."
At the moment when the mother threw herself into the lake, a fatal bullet came in the long night of her fate.
That bullet pierced her heart mercilessly, taking away her childhood and affecting her entire life.
At that moment, she was so helpless and terrified, because she clearly realized that the person who loved her the most in the world was gone, no matter how much she prayed, her mother would not come back, leaving her only the old Warmth and memory—maybe, that is the shackles called love, even if it is the love from mother.
Mother must love her.
It's just that for the mother, this world is too painful, so she can no longer support it, so she chooses to let go.
For so many years, Rachel had to hold such an idea, and had to convince herself desperately in order to persevere.
"only when it's over/the silence hitshard...
'cause wasalmostlove, wasalmostlove...
it was salt most love, was salt most love..."
But even so, the days after the mother left were still so difficult.
No matter how much grandparents care about her, they cannot replace mother after all.
When she was scolded, bullied, slandered, and isolated, what she missed most was always her mother.
It was clearly "itwasalmostlove", but to everyone's ears, it seemed to be "theyalmostkilledme..."
Perhaps, this is Rachel's true feelings.
During her growth, if she was not strong at all, she would have been killed by those rumors.
No one will take responsibility for the injuries she suffered, but those injuries were done and affect her to this day.
"carrying the load, with wings that feel like stone /
knowing that nearly fell farnow/
it's hard to tell..."
Those cruel gossips were like heavy boulders, pressing deeply on her soft wings, suppressing all the possibility of spreading her wings and flying high. Even though there was a small flame of hope in her heart, she still felt uncomfortable. support.
And she and her mother seem to be gradually drifting away. Life and death are the furthest distance in the world. Even the impression of her mother in her mind seems to fade with time. Sometimes, she can't even tell the difference. , Did mother really love her?Wasn't that gentle mother really something she imagined?Or, as those people said, after the father she had never met abandoned them, the mother also chose to abandon her. Is this the truth?
She has been unable to tell the difference...
"wheniheardthatsound/whenthewallscamdown/
I was thinking about you/about you..."
She only knows how much she misses her mother and the beauty of the past every time she hears those merciless words, every time the wall of her heart collapses and rebuilds...
"'cause wasalmostlove, wasalmostlove...
it was salt most love, was salt most love..."
they most killed me...
they most killed me...
This is the real cry in Rachel's heart.
"Rachel!"
The audience also gently shouted Rachel's name from the audience.
Maybe many of them don't know Rachel's growth experience, but through this sad song, everyone can feel how difficult this girl's life is, and how fragile she really is .
She is so fragile that just a small negation can make her completely defeated...
"Thank you, thank you."
Rachel quietly wiped away the water stains in front of her eyes by bending over, then raised her head, and faced everyone with a smile again.
"Rachel." Ryan walked onto the stage silently, and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly. Everyone who paid attention to Rachel knew something about Rachel's background and growth experience. Under the girl's gentle and lovely appearance, It is her deeply unconfident heart.
"I think, this song is very special to you, isn't it?" Ryan asked softly.
"Yes." Rachel nodded slightly, "Every time I encounter setbacks and miss my family, I will sing this song. For me, this is a song that conveys and releases feelings, and It's not just a song about expressing love."
"So, you decided to sing this song in the final?" Ryan continued.
"That's right." Rachel's eyes were slightly watery, which made her blue eyes more like a sad lake, "You know, for me, neither father nor mother can appear At the final scene.
For the former, I don't expect him since I've never met him, and for the latter, my mother, you know, I'll never see her again, no matter how much I miss her.If possible, I am willing to pay any price in exchange for her standing on the stage right now, but..." But everyone knows that this is impossible.
Rachel turned her head slightly, and wiped away the wet marks on her eyes again.
Among the audience, there was no lack of emotion, and they almost shed tears when they heard the words.
More than one person left a message, expressing that they fully understand Rachel's feelings. At an important moment in their lives, the most important person is forever absent. What a regrettable and painful experience.
"No matter where she is, she will be proud of you when she sees you at this moment." Ryan comforted again.
"Thank you, Ryan." Rachel smiled gratefully at Ryan.
"Then, let's listen to the opinions of the mentors." Ryan looked at the mentor seat, "Blake?"
"Okay." Blake sat upright, looking at Rachel with extremely gentle eyes, "First of all, let me say, Rachel, your performance tonight has exceeded all of our expectations, including me. Yes, as a mentor, I have witnessed every practice of yours, but compared to your performance tonight, those exercises are so insignificant.
I've always believed that the emotion in a song is the true soul of a song, and tonight you showed us all how touching a song with soul can be!Maybe you didn't pay attention when you sang on stage, but I can clearly see how many audiences shed tears in your singing——
We've all lost someone important, you too, me too, everyone, and we've all lost our hearts and souls because of it.Relief from others may relieve this pain, but it cannot really change anything, because it is a wound that cannot be healed by words.Maybe, only time can heal this wound, or maybe, in the face of the most real pain, even time is powerless.At least, for me, for you, so far, we can't forget the pain caused by the death of our loved ones, can't we?
But anyway, tonight, you really moved us deeply.You showed us how painful it is when a child loses his mother, and how that pain affects a person.It's true that you haven't gotten over it yet, but I totally understand that.
Finally, I want to say, Rachel, even with the weight of the past, even with the pain of growing up, you still take your life so seriously and make changes as much as you can, really, You are great Rachel! "
"Thank you, Blake." Rachel said emotionally to her mentor.
"Also, I would like to add one more point." Blake also smiled at Rachel, and before Ryan turned the topic over to the other mentors, he added, "We all know that for a young girl like Rachel How difficult it is to stand on the stage of the finals, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle.
Really, Rachel has so little compared to many other players.Whether it's Nadia, Grace or someone else, at least they can come to the competition without any worries and have the full support of their families.But for Rachel, it's pretty much her one-man game.The grandparents who brought her up single-handedly are old. Her grandfather is sick in bed all year round, and her grandmother has to take care of her grandfather. The two old people are really not suitable for long-distance travel. Therefore, only her uncle came to the scene today Just one family.I think no matter how good their relationship is, they can't really replace the role of parents.
But this game is so important to her, this may be the only chance in Rachel's life to completely change her destiny.Therefore, Rachel and I were very cautious about the whole final.We pre-selected a lot of songs, but in the end we settled on this song because it was a song that completely reflected Rachel's heart. "
Most importantly, this is also a song that will never have a direct conflict with Sally and Bertha.
After all, there is one thing to say, if you really want to fight Sally, not only Rachel has no confidence, but Blake has no confidence at all.
Moreover, the relationship between the three girls is already good. What's even more rare is that this friendship is not just on the surface, but from their hearts. Therefore, whether it is for the game scene or for their future development, Blake They don't want this competition to be too fierce, which will affect the relationship between the girls-it can be seen that Blake really thinks about Rachel.
However, Blake also hopes that Rachel can win the championship, at least, to have a chance to win the championship, instead of giving the championship to Sally in vain.Of course, Sally's strength is indeed worthy of this championship, but as Blake said before, this game is too important to Rachel, if she can win the game, more importantly, if she can win the game The invincible Sally must be of great benefit to Rachel's future development. Of course, the gold content of this champion will also increase infinitely.
Therefore, out of various considerations, Blake chose this unexpected song for Rachel, but it might be a surprise song. Not to mention, at least neither Sally nor Bertha would choose this style. In this way, head-on conflicts are avoided, and with Rachel's sensitive and delicate character, she will definitely be able to perform this song well.
Facts have also proved that Rachel did perform very well tonight, and the reaction of the audience is the best evidence.
In any case, he and Rachel have done everything they can, from song selection strategy to live performance, they have done their best.Everything after that can only be handed over to God.Let God decide if Rachel deserves this title.
Blake thought calmly.
"Well, thanks Blake for the great review."
Ryan nodded again and again when he heard it. Of course, he also heard the meaning of canvassing in Blake's words, but as a mentor, this is also a matter of course. In other words, it is precisely because Blake is a responsible mentor that he will Willing to speak for his players to this point, which is why Blake has been able to become a champion mentor many times.
"Then, let us listen to the opinions of other instructors."
Ryan handed over the topic to the other three mentors.
The three also expressed their opinions one after another, but they all affirmed Rachel's performance tonight-today, the players are no longer what they used to be, and those big and small mistakes in the past will never happen easily again What's more, this is the most important final, the contestants and their mentors will only strive for perfection, and there will never be obvious mistakes.
Of course, Rachel's performance tonight is indeed remarkable. Among other things, this purely lyrical song gave everyone a great sense of freshness.From this point of view, Blake's song selection is indeed very smart. It not only fits Rachel's own personality and style, but also takes into account the audience's perception of listening to the song. It is really wise.
Therefore, the instructors could only routinely praise Rachel, and then return the topic to Ryan.
"Thank you to the three instructors for their comments." Ryan said routinely, "At the same time, I also thank Rachel for her wonderful performance."
"Then, the last one to appear tonight is our—Sally!"
