Chapter 106 Idol Concert (Part IV)
Also, won't telling us now put the Wild Gals at a disadvantage? I guess it wouldn't, considering the bias this country was showing.
The Wild Gals, consisting of four people, had a musical keyboardist with whom Mimi would play. With both, Catherine and Sophie were on the drums. And Jane was the soloist on the guitar.
The wild Gals' music started in their play, similar to the Black Dragons. While their vibes are similar to Sweet Dreams.
Having to play funky music, most of the crowd joined in as background music. Did the Wild Gals already sing this song before? The crowd seemed to know the song, so it was probably something they had already sung.
More and more people joined in, singing as the song continued. Having to finish their music, more people cheered than the other two.
In my opinion, in terms of performance, the Black Dragons had done the best, but I alone wouldn't be able to change the outcome of the vote.
Now that all of the group had performed, Sweet Dreams had come back in to do another performance.
"Olivia, which group did you like more out of the three?" While it may be the first music, it was the only one they had heard.
"I preferred the music of Sweet Dreams." I had guessed that she would pick them, considering her taste.
"Comrade, it seems you have seen the way." My other neighbor had overheard our conversation and liked Olivia's choice.
Ignoring him, Olivia asked me the question, "Charlie, how about you?"
"Going by the current performance, I would pick the Black Dragons." While both Sweet Dreams and Wild Gals had great music, I liked the music more from the Black Dragons.
Now that Sweet Dreams were singing their second song, everyone was listening to their song. The song they played differed from the one they had previously played.
Unlike the slow-paced song they played. The music that they played was much more appealing to my taste.
They were more fired up, and the song that they played hit more to the heart. Compared to the song they played, it seemed they had matured from the cute and happy to the cool and stylish.
I don't know if they intentionally did this song, but it was a great move on their end. The expectations for their next were now high. If they could keep doing better songs, their momentum would be immense.
"This is what I love about Sweet Dreams. Their diversity in music is almost unmatched!" At this point, I don't know if he was talking to himself or to us.
It was already nighttime as time passed, and the three bands had played to their heart's content. All three bands played a great deal of music to the best of their ability.
"Before we finish tonight's concert, I would like to give a round of applause to all the performing contestants~!"
"Whoever wins this event~ I hope that no one would have any hard feelings about who wins this match~!" Even if Felicia had said this, I don't think this comment would help.
"Olivia, who did you vote for?" Even if I had a guess, I still wanted to make sure.
"I voted for Sweet Dreams." It was her original pick, so it wasn't too hard to guess.
"I, too, have voted for Sweet Dreams, my comrade!" Of course, he did.
"What about you, Charlie?" I already had an idea who to pick.
"I had picked The Black Dragons." Not only did Sweet Dreams step up their game, but the Black Dragons did.
If it wasn't for Black Dragons, my next choice would be Sweet Dreams. The Wild Gals were terrific, but it wasn't someone who I would vote for.
"Tsk, what a normie." The guy beside me muttered, who is even talking to you? I wanted to scream at him, but it was pretty late. I didn't want to spend more energy than I needed to.
"Now that the votes are finished~!" A screen was popping up from the top of the stadium. The votes were in, and the winner had been decided.
"The winner of tonight's concert is the Wilds Gals~!" When Felicia announced the results, mixed reactions were coming from the crowd.
The citizens of Avaris were cheering loudly, while the angry fans were booing from the results. This concert was a popularity contest, so the results weren't fair in the first place.
Looking at the reactions of the idol group, I could see the Black Dragons angry at the results. They didn't have it. I hope someone will calm them down. On the bright side, they were in second place and had almost beat the Wild Gals.
Sweet Dreams are downcasted by the results, and Lilianna and Eclair are trying to cheer their members. It was sad seeing them lose, placing them last in the event. I don't know if this would affect their future performance.
"THIS IS BULLSHIT!" It didn't help that my neighbor was mad at his idol being last.
Felicia seems a bit distressed. It was to be expected. "Everyone~! Let's give it up for the Wild Gals!" She called them up for a prize, with the four girls in the spotlight. Felicia had given them a trophy for their victory.
"Olivia, let's leave before it gets too hectic," I whispered to her ears, and she nodded, agreeing with my choice.
The both of us had silently left the stadium and left the angry fans to do their own thing. I didn't want to get caught in it with Olivia.
Tonight was a night to remember. I could see why people had come in live to watch these artists performing live.
With my arms held tight by Olivia, I could see that this outing was successful. Times like these would be more complicated, more fights would be happening, and Olivia and I needed a way to grow faster.
Refreshed by today's outing, I would work hard for tomorrow's hunt.
