CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 1: FIRST STAGE PERFORMANCE

After Nolan Sinclair sat down, he lazily watched the show. Originally, he didn’t have to come, but the company wanted him to see if there were any good talents in this season, and if so, to sign them to their company.

Everyone knows that in talent shows, those with outstanding abilities are already signed with big companies, and the lesser talents are not really worth scouting.

However, he didn’t have much on his schedule recently, so he decided to come anyway.

Nolan Sinclair sat in the guest seat, watching the participants on stage. The first group was the dance group, led by Lynn Joyner. The song they chose was explosive and full of energy.

This group had a strong average strength, and with Lynn Joyner leading them, both the rhythm and the strength made them undoubtedly the right choice to open the show by fully engaging the audience.

From the moment they appeared, the fans’ cheers said it all.

"Go Lynn, go girl!!!"

"You’re the best, you must debut in the center position!"

Her group was a dance group and had a whole team of dancers, their stage presence was explosive.

After the performance ended, the applause was the best testament to their talent.

During the voting, Lynn Joyner unsurprisingly became the highest vote-getter, and the mentors all gave high praise to the group, especially Lynn, who was singled out for extra compliments many times.

But everyone noticed that no matter what was said, this young girl kept a calm demeanor, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

Oh, their precious! At least flatter a bit! Last time with Mia Sutton, didn’t you act all cute and natural?

If you just show a bit of that, the votes will definitely skyrocket.

It’s frustrating!

If Lynn Joyner knew what the fans were thinking, she would definitely have a cold face and ask: Who acted cute? She was just hungry!

After the mentors finished their comments, the host started asking Nolan Sinclair: "I’m curious, Mr. Sinclair, what do you think of this performance?"

This, indeed, is a flow machine, grab the chance when you can!

Upon hearing this, Nolan Sinclair picked up the microphone: "Hmm, the stage was complete, flawless, very good."

The host was waiting for him to continue, only to see him putting the microphone down.

Host: "......"

If it weren’t for the cameras, his mouth would absolutely be twitching madly.

That’s it? Nothing more to add?

A few seconds later, the host awkwardly picked up the topic again and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sinclair, for your comments. It seems Mr. Sinclair really enjoyed the performance."

"Now, let’s ask the mentors to score this group’s performance."

The mentors’ feedback and scoring are placed afterward so as not to affect the audience’s voting, otherwise, it might have an influence.

The full score is ten, and most of the other mentors gave this performance a score of nine, with even one perfect ten.

When the camera panned to Nolan Sinclair, he slowly revealed his scorecard, with a prominently displayed seven on it.

The audience was a bit disappointed when they saw this score, feeling it was a bit low, but considering Nolan Sinclair’s high standards, they thought it was acceptable.

However, Lynn Joyner’s fans still felt it was a bit unfair, thinking the score was truly too low.

After Lynn Joyner’s group finished performing and returned backstage, she sat down next to Mia Sutton.

Then Mia Sutton looked around, pulled out a lollipop, smiling with her eyes, and handed it to Lynn Joyner: "Very well done."

Lynn Joyner reached out and took it, her previously aloof expression instantly softened: "Thank you."

And at that moment, the camera cut back to this scene, the fans of Lynn Joyner in the audience: "..."

That’s not their sister!

They were so frustrated, if only she showed the attitude she had toward Mia Sutton publicly, she would have been all the rage already.
