Chapter 1013: Chapter 1007: Indeed Somewhat Strange

Due to never having considered this kind of issue, everyone furrowed their brows in confusion, and in fact, they couldn’t be blamed because this issue was fundamentally a blind spot in habitual thinking.

It was not just the contestants, even the coaches and judges sometimes got baffled by the opinions of the public judges.

But, that was the rule; the PK competition was controlled by public judges, and once they made a decision, even the officials and judges could not change it.

Although the Xuanyuan Good Voice competition had been held many times, it was undeniable that no judge or audience member participated in every season.

Because of this relationship, everyone had not truly considered this issue carefully.

Now, when Li Changlin raised it, everyone realized his question was sharp and realistic, but where exactly did the problem lie?

"Big Brother Li, just tell us directly!" Finally, Ma Xiaoqian, who was about to compete, awkwardly spoke up.

After thinking for so long, she still hadn’t pinpointed the crux of the issue, but Ma Xiaoqian knew that Li Changlin must have noticed something, which was why he raised such a question.

Thus, everyone looked over at him.

Especially Wang Yiyi, her eyes carried hints of pleading as she knew Li Changlin wanted to push her forward, but if this issue was not clarified, she might lose in the next PK competition.

Li Changlin didn’t keep them in suspense any longer, he coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Actually, we have always been trapped in a misconception, assuming that the audience are professionals, leading to negligence in our song selection. Previously, when Yiyi sang, we all knew every aspect of her performance was flawless, and that’s why the judges gave her such high scores."

"Big Brother Li, do you mean that the reason the audience reacted that way was because they didn’t accept the song I sang?" Wang Yiyi was a clever girl. Although Li Changlin didn’t directly give the answer, she had already understood.

"Your Happiness Is My Happiness" was indeed a nice song, but the audience did not buy it, not because Wang Yiyi didn’t sing well, but rather because the audience couldn’t accept that style immediately.

After all, Wang Yiyi wasn’t holding a concert, nor was she a very famous singer. Of course, if the song had been sung by Luo Tianyi or Ye Xiyao, Xie Yixin, the outcome would naturally have been different.

Because initially, the audience first accepted the singer and then the song.

But in the Xuanyuan Good Voice show, what everyone initially accepted was actually the song, and then they recognized the contestant, a point that should not be confused.

It has been mentioned before that non-professionals judge a woman’s beauty mainly by her face and chest.

On the Good Voice stage, Wang Yiyi’s beauty did not give her an absolute advantage since the beauty of the contestants would generally be comparable; thus, she could not score much extra purely based on beauty.

At that moment, the only thing that could impress the audience was the singer’s voice.

However, one point must be remembered: when the audience is not completely familiar with, or fully accepting of a contestant, their standard for judging the quality of a song is basically whether it sounds pleasant.

What does sounding pleasant mean? The standard itself is quite vague, but it is believed that the vast majority of the audience surely have their own standard answers.

So, what kind of pleasant sound is the common answer in every audience’s mind?

It’s simple—something they like and can accept.

As long as it sounds soothing, makes one feel pleased, or at least not repulsive, that is a good song.

Once this was clarified, everyone understood.

Even Yu Xiaohao and the other three’s eyes brightened.

At the same time, in their minds, they were probably cursing Li Changlin for being a fool, for such a discovery was akin to a fighter jet in battle; once one mastered the audience’s emotions, why worry about not getting good results?

However, now that more people knew, the competition also increased, and to be honest, these guys didn’t understand why Li Changlin would disclose it so directly. Was he really a selflessly kind person who considered others before himself?

As for the crooked thoughts of people like Yu Xiaohao, Li Changlin naturally didn’t understand, and of course, he didn’t care.

The reason he spoke so frankly was partly because everyone was on the same team, hoping to help if possible; and on the other hand, it was because the songs that Li Changlin and Wang Yiyi could bring out were all originals!

Even if everyone else grasped this clue, so what?

With all original songs compared to everyone else’s covers, which would leave a better and deeper impression on the audience and judges—this wasn’t even worth thinking about!

It was typical of people like Yu Xiaohao to foolishly think that Li Changlin was a fool.

Could a fool become a major shareholder of Sky Horse?

Those with such thoughts were actually the real fools, utterly foolish.

While everyone chatted, the broadcast of the studio program continued non-stop, and after a while, it was Ma Xiaoqian’s turn to perform.

This was Ma Xiaoqian’s first performance after the group competition; her capabilities were quite good, especially since the song she chose to cover was already a slightly upbeat and wholesome tune, so naturally, she felt no pressure and her performance was more relaxed.

In the end, Ma Xiaoqian indeed achieved a very good score, and the audience reacted warmly, generously giving her rounds of applause.

However, from this, the contestants also saw the issue that Li Changlin referred to indeed existed; although Ma Xiaoqian’s performance was good, her level was still slightly below Wang Yiyi’s, which could be seen from her comprehensive score of 9.3 since the judges were professionals after all!

But, the audience was very receptive to Ma Xiaoqian, which seemed a bit strange.

If it weren’t for Li Changlin clarifying the situation early on, everyone would probably still be in the dark even after the competition ended.

Ma Xiaoqian was neither more beautiful than Wang Yiyi nor did she have a chest as firm and large as hers, so the audience’s judgment based on the face or chest as criteria for liking or disliking could be ruled out; therefore, this left only the issue with the song.
