Becoming Idol

"Alan, I am off. Wish me luck!"

"Good luck, Cecilia! You got this in the bag."

Alan reassured her.

Cecilia smiled before turning her face and going to the stage.

*CROWD CHEERS!

Cecilia's looks were no worse than Irina's. She had also managed to capture the hearts of many boys from the moment she showed up.

The dress was a vibrant shade of hot pink, with a fitted silhouette that emphasized the singer's toned figure. The neckline was adorned with sparkling rhinestones, which caught the light and glittered with every movement. The skirt was layered and flirty, with layers of ruffles that swirled and bounced as she danced.

As the music started, Cecilia began to move, twirling and jumping with abandon. The dress flowed around her in a flurry of pink and sparkles, catching the light and adding an extra element of excitement to her performance.

[ I'm a rising star, watch me shine

I'm gonna light up the night, it's my time ] …

The audience watched in awe as she commanded the stage, her energy infectious and her voice soaring.

Cecilia's song was similar to Irina's earlier song yet different. It was almost like the continuation of the story told by Irina's song about her dream to shine while Cecilia's song was talking about their rising fame. The song was titled 'Rising Star'.

[ I'm gonna sing my heart out, show what I've got

I'm a rising star, I'll give it my all ] …

Cecilia continued to perform flawlessly.

[ I'm a rising star, watch me soar

I'll keep on shining brighter than before

I'm gonna chase my dreams and never stop

I'm a rising star, and I'll reach the top. ]

With her voice slowing down, the song came to a stop.

*CROWD CHEER!

"WOW! Another brilliant performance! Are you sure they are rookies?"

"It is almost like the performance of Top Idol! I can't believe it is their debut."

"The first one had already been good, but this one has entirely captured my heart. I think I will be their fan." …

The audience erupted into a standing ovation, applauding and cheering as Cecilia took her final bow.

The cheers and applause were even louder than when Irina performed. One of the reasons was because of how good Irina was, many of the audience also called for their friends and family believing that the concert would be worthwhile.

And it was! Irina's performance was not some fluke and Cecilia proved that this concert was extremely good. The once 5 thousand audience had doubled in number.

Although the stadium was still yet to be completely occupied, the number of fans that the two unknown idols had was impressive.

With their first performance, Irina and Cecilia managed to turn many of the audience into their fans.

Cecilia smiled brightly, her cheeks flushed with excitement and her eyes shining with pride.

As she stepped off the stage, Alan and Irina were waiting for her with huge smiles on their faces.

"You were amazing!"

Irina exclaimed, giving her a congratulatory hug.

Cecilia hugged her back, feeling a rush of gratitude and relief.

"Thank you so much for believing in me."

She said, her voice choked with emotion.

"I couldn't have done it without you."

Cecilia smiled back, feeling grateful for Irina's support and encouragement. She knew that she had a long way to go before she could truly call herself a rising star, but with Irina by her side, she knew that there was someone who was fighting along with her.

She looked further where Alan was giving a thumbs up. Additionally, now she also has Alan who would help her. She felt that she would not give up with two friends by her side.

"Irina, you are up again! Do your best!"

Alan said.

******

The concert continued with Irina and Cecilia delivering another incredible performance. The number of audiences just kept increasing and their expectations were also increasing. All four of the songs were great and the singer themselves sang them with precision hitting every note correctly.

Now, it was time for the final performance of the night. Everything was going perfectly and if Irina and Cecilia didn't mess up this last performance, then they would have had a successful debut.

Even without the last performance, Alan was sure that they had gained at least 10,000 new fans. And with their song which he would release later on MeloPlay, he believes that they would at least gain some kind of fame, especially with the duet.

"Irina! Cecilia! This is it. You two had been doing great. Just do the same for this one and I believe that your debut will be a great success. Best of Luck!"

Alan said. He was extremely professional with his words. It might have been because of the Idol's Manager's skill that he had which enabled him to give such a speech.

Anyway, Irina and Cecila nodded to him as they entered the stage.

Once again, the lights blinded them for a second. They had also changed their dresses as it was their special performance. The audience was already cheering as their expectation was further increased.

Not only did Irina and Cecilia change their dress, but they were also singing together. They expected the performance to be something that would surpass all the other performances that they witnessed.

The earlier performances were already high-level but as humans, it was natural to be greedy. And as it was their last performance, they had high expectations.

It was their last performance, however, Cecilia was feeling a bit nervous. She was confident but she also knew that this performance was the most important one. It will also affect her friend's career which made her even more nervous.

She looked at Irina. Irina could also see that Cecilia was feeling uneasy. However, she also trusted that Cecilia would perform well. There was no need to say anything to her.

Irina just gave her a reassuring smile, and the music started. Irina and Cecila launched into their final song, and they could feel the energy coursing through their bodies. They had practiced this routine a million times, but now it felt different. It was real!

As the music started, Irina and Cecilia's training and practice kicked in. They moved in perfect synchronization, their vocals blending together beautifully.

[ You leave scars in my heart so easily with harsh words

Without even saying sorry, I comfort myself again

I'm always anxious if you're gonna leave me today

I just want you to stay ] …

The audience watched in awe, impressed by Irina and Cecilia's energy and talent.

"They're amazing!" said a teenage girl, her eyes glued to the stage.

"I can't believe they're debuting today," said a middle-aged woman, tapping her foot to the beat.

"Wow, these rookies have got some skills. This song hits me completely differently than the other four songs that they did." said a young man, nodding his head.

The song and the dance were all exceptional, especially the song. They had been all impressed by two young girls who had surpassed any of the newcomers' performances. However, the duet was something that even the most popular singer would barely be able to come up with.

This was not a song that could only be said as good or great. It was something that was capable of getting number 1 on the music chart for months.

Their choreography was great, and their voices were strong and clear. Irina could see the excitement and joy on the faces of the fans in the front row, and it made her feel alive.

As the song came to an end, Irina and Cecilia struck a final pose, and the crowd erupted into applause

They were greeted with a thunderous round of applause and cheers from the audience. It was the start of a never-ending applause.

"That was amazing! I'm officially a fan!" exclaimed a young man in the front row.

"I've never seen anything like that before. They're so talented!" said a woman in her mid-twenties.

"I'm blown away. Those girls have definitely made a fan out of me!" added another person.

"I can't believe they're debuting today. They're already better than some of the established idols out there!" said a teenage girl.

Many of them had decided that they would follow Irina and Cecilia and become their fans. It was impressive, especially since the stadium was completely full. The stadium, which started with about 5 thousand people, had reached 20,000.

As the cheers began to stop, Irina and Cecilia stepped forward to address the crowd.

"Thank you all so much for being here tonight!"

She shouted, her voice ringing across the auditorium.

"We are so grateful to be making our debut, and we couldn't have asked for a better crowd to share it with!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, and the young women on stage grinned from ear to ear. They could feel the excitement and love from all their audiences. They did it!

They were now idols!
