Rhapsody in Harmony

"I didn't expect this song to evoke such deep emotions," murmured a man, his voice filled with a mixture of surprise and vulnerability.

As the singer poured their heart into the performance, the collective atmosphere in the room grew heavier with shared sorrow.

"I can't help but feel the pain in their voices. It's as if they've experienced the same heartbreak as I have," whispered a young woman sitting alone, her eyes fixated on the stage.

"NICE! NICE! NICE!"

"Absolutely lovin it!"

"+99999!"

"Fantastic!"

The live chat room was inundated with comments! The screen was filled with a rapid scroll of various letters, as the comments poured in.

The number of online viewers in the live stream skyrocketed!

"T-This is-"

Composer Jules stood there dumbfounded. He had initially believed that the song would start off strong but lose its impact as it progressed. However, the song continued to reveal its true strength as it unfolded.

Looking at the audience's reactions and the flood of comments, it was clear how much they loved it.

His confidence wavered, and he felt threatened by the possibility of his song being overshadowed by theirs.

Beside Composer Jules, Jun's expression darkened as he clenched his hand.

"Even if it's great, they won't win! Who do they think they are? What makes them believe they can surpass me?"

Jun started to feel anxious.

Because...

The atmosphere in the venue surpassed what he and Mina had experienced during their performance!

Many people had already stood up from their seats, swaying along with the song. Some even raised their hands and instinctively moved along with the rhythm.

It was a sign that the entire crowd's emotions were being led!

Jun glanced again at the live chat room.

Inside the barrage of comment...

There were too many.

So many comments!

It was overwhelming, giving a tremendous sense of pressure!

Onstage, Irina and Cecilia continued to sing with great passion. They infused the performance with emotion, raising their voices where necessary.

[ "In the arms of love, we find our grace

A comforting embrace, in this lonely place

Healing hearts, mending souls

Through the pain, love consoles" ]

The chorus reverberated throughout the auditorium, and tears started streaming down the faces of many audience members.

"Such a beautiful and heart-wrenching song. It feels like it's speaking directly to my soul," sobbed a woman, her hand trembling as she wiped away her tears.

"I cannot help but reminisce about my first love!"

"Everybody was once young. Even though the break up was tough, I was happy when I was in love."

In the midst of the emotionally charged atmosphere, a sense of unity prevailed.

"We may all have different stories, but pain is a universal language. We're all connected at this moment," a man whispered to his neighbor, his voice filled with empathy.

Many nodded!

[ "With hearts entwined, we'll rise above

Through the power of love, we'll find our love

In the contest's stage, we'll pour our heart

Embraced by love, we'll make our art." ]

As the final notes faded away, a moment of silence engulfed the room.

-CLAP! -CLAP! *CHEER!

Then, the audience erupted into thunderous applause, a testament to the profound impact of the performance.

"That was incredible! I feel like I've gone through a journey of emotions," exclaimed a young woman, her voice filled with awe.

"Thank you for sharing your pain and healing through this song!" shouted a man, his voice echoing throughout the auditorium.

"It's so exhilarating!"

"It's amazing!!!"

"Awesome! Absolutely the best song I've heard!"

The applause continued, mingling with heartfelt expressions of appreciation.

"I thought Mina was the best, but I was too quick to judge. Irina and Cecilia deserve to be the winners!" …

Alan smiled at them and applauded.

Mia couldn't contain her excitement and exclaimed, "Senior Irina and Cecilia, I've witnessed countless performances, but yours is the best!"

"Alan, I believe that they are going to win!"

Mia said and Alan nodded.

( He should have already known! )

Mia felt embarrassed, realizing how worried she had been despite Alan's unwavering confidence. Now she understood that it wasn't that Alan was ignorant or indifferent; he simply trusted Irina and Cecilia.

Jun's manager quietly sat down, unable to utter a word. Mina's manager was in a similar state. She had believed that Mina's performance was outstanding and that she would undoubtedly be crowned the winner. However, now she was uncertain.

All she could do was hope that Irina and Cecilia's lower popularity would work to their advantage.

Irina and Cecilia stood on the stage, panting, taking in the sweeping view, their hearts surging with excitement!

They looked at the enthusiastic crowd and then at each other, exchanging smiles.

They had done it!

All the practices had paid off and they were able to deliver a flawless performance.

The host stepped onto the stage with a microphone in hand, the crowd's applause subsiding as they eagerly awaited his words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give another round of applause to the extraordinary performance we just witnessed!" the host exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine admiration.

"I have to say, I was taken aback by the sheer power and emotion displayed by Irina and Cecilia. It was nothing short of breathtaking!"

The audience erupted into applause once again, showing their agreement with the host's sentiment. Irina and Cecilia stood together, their faces radiant with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude.

"They hear what the stars have to say about their performance!"

Irina and Cecilia stood together at the center of the stage, their eyes filled with gratitude as the applause began to subside. They took a moment to compose themselves before Irina stepped forward, her voice filled with genuine warmth.

"Thank you all so much for your overwhelming support and kind words," Irina said, her voice carrying throughout the venue. "Tonight, we poured our hearts and souls into this performance, and to see your incredible response means the world to us."

Cecilia nodded in agreement, a grateful smile gracing her face. She spoke, her voice filled with sincerity, "Thank you, thank you all so much! We are incredibly humbled by your overwhelming response to our performance."

The audience erupted into applause once again, their enthusiasm evident in their cheers and clapping.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for us to take the next step in determining the winner of this competition. It's up to you, our valued audience, to cast your votes and decide who will be crowned the champion."
