Chapter 277 The Third Judge
Jeffrey stood up and warmly greeted the contestants as well as the audience that were present.
The host continued his introductions. “Let’s welcome the next judge, Ellie Roscorla!”
Ellie Roscorla was a popular singer who produced countless classics. Not only was she a gorgeous woman with a beautiful voice, she also had many older fans as well as a stellar reputation in the entertainment circle.
At present, the netizens had a high degree of approval for the first two judges who were both professionals. Therefore, they were very optimistic about the selection of judges for this talent competition.
The degree of online discussion on ‘The Voice’ increased sharply, but Melanie continued to dominate the top spot of the trending topics.
Meanwhile, the host continued his introductions. He was clearly a little excited when he came to the third judge, which increased the expectations of the audience even more.
“Hurry up and reveal the third judge! Stop teasing us! You’ve been secretive for long enough!”
“Let’s guess the identity of the third judge. Or, just guess whether it’s a man or a woman.”
As he was spurred by the enthusiastic discussion of the netizens, he loudly introduced the third judge. “Let’s welcome the third judge, Vania Greyson!”
Everybody was stunned when they heard the name ‘Vania Greyson’.
‘Vania Greyson of Galaxy Corporation?’
‘Did you hear wrongly? Are you sure it’s Vania Greyson?’
As the chair swiveled around, Vania revealed herself.
There was a series of gasps from the audience, then they immediately broke out into enthusiastic cheers. “Vania! Vania!”
When she heard Vania’s name, Melanie lost her balance in her pair of high heels and nearly fell down. Fortunately, the camera was focused on Vania at the time, so nobody noticed her nervousness and embarrassment. Even so, that did not reduce the doubts in her heart. Why is Vania participating in this program!? She doesn’t understand music! How can she be a judge!? It looks like my guess earlier was correct. If Vania is here, then that man is definitely Hanson. The two of them are truly inseparable.
When she looked at the gleeful Vania on the stage, the word ‘jealousy’ could no longer accurately describe her emotions at that moment.
The audience was still screaming and cheering. Vania’s current popularity was no less than the A-list celebrities in the entertainment circles. In particular, there was too much news on her in the past month or so. That was why her appearance caught everybody’s attention.
She waved her hands and took the initiative to introduce herself. “Hello, everybody! My name is Vania Greyson.”
“Ahh…. Vania! Vania!”
Amidst the screams of the audience, Bella, who was standing on the stage, was also astonished. The wretched situation that played out when she met Hanson at the last filming site had been witnessed in full by Vania. Hence, Vania’s presence as a judge posed a huge disadvantage to her. It looks like I need to think of a solution.
Both Melanie and Bella had their own ideas, but they shared similar anxieties. There was also one more point that they had in common—they wanted to bring down Vania.
They were not the only ones who disapproved of Vania as a judge since there were many unsupportive voices among the comments of the netizens.
‘Vania is a designer. This is a music competition program. Inviting her to be the judge is a little thoughtless.’
‘Looks like the program crew is aiming to hype things up. Vania and Melanie are together again. Who knows what unexpected events will happen again?’
‘Vania is great, but she doesn’t know a thing about music. Asking somebody who doesn’t understand music to comment on the contestant… This program is not professional at all.’
‘I hope they can replace her with a professional judge instead.’
This was the case on the internet. There were all kinds of opinions available. In contrast, those in support of Vania were abundant too.
‘It’s precisely because Vania doesn’t understand music that she can represent the voice of the general public. That is because we can only tell whether the music sounds lovely or not. We can’t discern the professional details, so we support Vania as a judge.’
