Next, everyone will enter the formal rehearsal stage. Thanks to Xiao Yao's warning in advance, the musicians no longer felt dazed when they heard Xiao Yao's female voice, and stopped playing.

Compared with the previous song, Xiao Yao’s song is not very casual and improvised for the live version, but the fact that a single person can sing both male and female voices makes Xiao Yao’s song The performance of the song is attractive enough.

Xiao Yao practiced with the musicians and harmony singers for a period of time. After feeling that the performance effect of the joint practice had reached a certain level, he ran back to the previous musicians of Cordy Scott and lined up with them again. "". After queuing there a few times, Xiao Yao ran back again.

After going back and forth a few times like this, it was time for David Green to prepare for Xiao Yao and btbs. The staff came to inform the rehearsals of other stars that all the rehearsals were over, and it was time for Xiao Yao and btbs to perform on stage for the alternate show.

Since it was just a rehearsal for the performance of the awards ceremony, and not a recording of any program, the two parties did not need to wait in the backstage lounge or anything. When one party performs on the stage, the other party can sit in the auditorium under the stage to watch.

Xiao Yao wanted to move the musical instruments. In order to save time, David Green arranged for the Korean group btbs to perform first without using musical instruments and singing and dancing with accompaniment. The staff conveyed to David Green that Xiao Yao, Cody Scott, and Nicky Thompson were invited to go there first, and watch the performance of the Korean group with others. The band members moved the instruments and then came.

When the three of Xiao Yao entered the performance hall, there were already many people in the performance hall. The seven people from btbs were already standing on the stage to warm up their hands and feet, and below the stage, some people were sitting in the front row of the auditorium, among them was David Green. After seeing the situation clearly, the three of them walked to where David Green was.

Seeing the three of Xiao Yao approaching, David Green stood up and greeted them.

"Yang, let me introduce you and btbspk's judgment this time!" After greeting the three, David Green pointed to the people around him and said to Xiao Yao.

The people around David Green are all stars in the American music scene, and Xiao Yao basically knew them all, but it was the first time they met in private.

Those stars were all guests of this awards ceremony, and the rehearsal time was arranged behind Nicky Thompson. During the rehearsal, I heard that Hopson was unexpectedly sick and hospitalized. There were two groups of stars who wanted to replace him as guest performers, and they also had to perform a live pk on the stage. Several people expressed their willingness to stay and watch after the rehearsal. Seeing that they were willing to stay and watch, David Green certainly wished for it. He not only agreed, but also invited them to judge together.

"Cordy, Nicky, you two are not in the judging lineup." After Xiao Yao greeted several American stars, David Green said to Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson, "You guys You two can stay here and watch it together, but you don’t have the right to vote, so it’s best not to express your opinion.”

"Why?" Nicky Thompson said, "The two of us are also guest performers! Why can't we express our opinions?"

"Because you have already stated your position, and you are clearly on Yang's side." David Green said, "Young is the stage director you invited Nikki, and you brought it here. You have a personal friendship. Ke Although Cordy only met Young tonight, Young will be playing with Cordy's musicians, and Cordy must have wanted Young to be on the show. You're both biased towards Young, so there's no impartiality in your opinion. "

"Okay, I don't care, I agree!" Cordy spread his hands and smiled indifferently, and continued, "But I'm a little curious, why did you only mention Jan Yong with my musician, but not Jan Yong Ni? Key's musicians. Didn't your people tell you that Young had two songs, two shows?"

"What? Young prepared two performances?" David Green asked in surprise.

He really doesn't know.

"I know that even if I replace Hopson, I will only have one chance to perform at the awards ceremony." Xiao Yao said, "I prepare two songs, just to give you one more chance to choose. Not only can you choose The backup guest is me or btbs, if you choose me, you can also choose which song I will perform. I think you guys don't mind spending a few minutes listening to one more song, right?"

"This~" David Green hesitated.

"Young wants to perform twice? It's not fair to btbs!" John Lee said beside him.

As the manager of BTBS, John Lee definitely does not have voting rights, but he can also watch the performances of both parties, and he is also in the auditorium next to David Green. He, like Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson, is not suitable for expressing opinions after the performance, but before the performance, he can still speak for his artists.

"I don't think it's unfair." Cordy Scott said, "The preparation time for both sides is the same..."

"No, look at the clothes they are wearing, and then look at the clothes Yang is wearing." Cody Scott suddenly paused, pointing to the seven people on the stage, "I even doubt the time you prepared Longer than Young."

At this time, the clothes worn by the seven people on the stage were different from the ones that Cordy Scott saw after the rehearsal, obviously they all changed their costumes. They are also here to watch the rehearsal, so why do they have special costumes to change into? It is likely that they had already prepared for this, so they actually took longer to prepare.

"We just heard about Mr. Hopson's hospitalization from Robertson earlier than you did." John Lee said anxiously.

"So your preparation time is indeed longer than Young's." Cordy Scott said, "I mean you have mental preparation, not just the rehearsal time."

"Well, I agree with Yang to perform two performances." David Green said, "Since Yang has spent a lot of time arranging, we always want to listen to it. As Yang said, we can have one more choice, and we don't care how much more money is spent. Listen to him sing one more song every minute."

"Mr. Li," David Green turned to John Lee and said, "If you don't need extra rehearsal time, you can perform another one immediately after one performance, and you don't need us to wait for you to rehearse. Perform two performances in a row."

"Performing directly without rehearsal is disrespectful to the stage!" John Lee said.

"That's how it is. You perform one performance, and Yang performs two performances." David Green turned his head and said to several stars, "Everyone, the backup performers we selected only have one chance to perform a song at the awards ceremony. So we are looking at which of the three performances is more suitable for the awards ceremony, and we can't stack the two performances of Young, because he performed two performances and he is more biased towards him!"

"Okay, no problem!" several stars said.

They have all heard of Yang Xiao's name and some of his deeds, and they are also very curious about this Chinese star. Naturally, they had no objections to being able to watch one more performance of his.

John Lee saw that David Green had said so, and those stars agreed, so he didn't say anything more.

Everyone agrees, and the next step is the btbs performance in the stands. Everyone found their seats in the auditorium, and David Green waved and gestured to the sound engineer.

The seven Korean idols on the stage saw that all the people in the audience had sat down, and the staff next to the stage gave them hand signals, so they stopped warming up, took their positions on the stage, and set up their dancing scenes. Starting position, ready to perform.

Music sounded from the speakers at the scene, and the seven people on the stage started to move. There is no band on stage, their performance is singing and dancing.

The seven people didn't wear headsets, and all of them sang and danced while holding microphones. Xiao Yao heard that only a small part of the high-pitched parts of the accompaniment had some human voices, and the vocals on the stage were louder than those in the accompaniment, which was basically equivalent to a full-on microphone performance. It has to be said that this combination can achieve certain success in Europe and the United States, and its own strength is still very strong. The mics were all on while singing and dancing, and they sang very steadily.

They sang an English song, but the music style and dance style were obviously still typical Korean electronic dance music style. From the perspective of novelty hunting, this kind of foreign music style and performance style has a certain novelty for European and American audiences, so this group can also be said to be very popular in Europe and the United States in recent years. However, Europe and the United States are different from China. Europe and the United States have not had a large-scale Hallyu trend like China and other Asian countries, nor have they followed the example of South Korea to launch various singing and dancing idol groups, so this style of things is popular in Europe and the United States. There are limits to popularity and popularity.

Therefore, even though this group's stage performance was quite good in Xiao Yao's opinion, Xiao Yao didn't feel much pressure. Fundamentally speaking, the kind of live show that Xiao Yao wants to perform with a live band and live playing and singing is what most music fans in Europe and the United States really like.

After the btbs group performed, Qiqi bowed to everyone in the audience below the stage. David Green briefly thanked them for their performance, then asked them to step off the stage, and ordered the staff to set up the stage and put up the instruments and equipment.

When Xiao Yao saw the band's musicians on stage, he didn't just sit around and ran up to the stage to help with the instruments and equipment.

David Green didn't take this time to ask other people's evaluation of the Korean group's performance, and no one stood up to speak publicly. They just watched the people on the stage busy, and at most they tilted their heads and followed the side. The people discuss a few words in low voices.

It didn't take long for the stage to be ready. With an acoustic guitar on his back, Xiao Yao stood in front of a standing microphone in the front.

"This song is called "the"!" Xiao Yao briefly introduced, then turned around and nodded to the musicians.

The drummer of the drum kit lightly taps the cymbal, the keyboard player and the electric guitar move their hands, and the performance begins.

As soon as the melody composed of these three instruments came out, the people sitting in the auditorium below unconsciously adjusted their sitting postures. It seems that Xiao Yao's song is more attractive to them purely in terms of melody and style.

In the first ten seconds of the song's prelude, the acoustic guitar on Xiao Yao's back was not involved. In this short period of about ten seconds, Xiao Yao did not just stand like this with the guitar on his back, but turned sideways, bent slightly, with the palms of both hands together and straightened, the upper and forearm bends of both arms At right angles, the guitar swings back and forth alternately, imitating the movements of a robot in a funny way.

"Ha!" Seeing Xiao Yao's funny action, the audience below chuckled.

"At this time, he still has improvisation?" Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson glanced at each other, and Cordy Scott shook his head lightly and smiled.

Both of them had watched Xiao Yao rehearse this song just now. During the rehearsal just now, Xiao Yao didn't make such funny moves in this place.

Although there was no program team from the TV station to shoot this rehearsal, there were cameras on site for the rehearsal effect. Seeing Xiao Yao's performance, a crane camera on the side of the stage immediately pushed towards Xiao Yao, and then a close-up of Xiao Yao's facial expression was displayed on the background wall of the electronic screen behind the stage.

"Looking at his state, I think he must be better than that Korean group at least mentally!" Nicky Thompson said looking at Xiao Yao's expression on the big screen.

"Of course!" Cordy Scott laughed, "Even if the two of us can't vote, I never thought he would lose."

The performance of the next few judges seems to confirm what Cordy Scott said. After the start of the second verse with accelerated variations, the emotions of several judges seemed to be infected by the song, and they began to move in their seats. When Xiao Yao flicked his tongue at the end of the first line of the second verse, some of the stars even laughed and marveled.

After that, Xiao Yao's state and speed of speaking, the meaningless humming in the chorus of the chorus, the sudden slowdown of the third verse of the song and then the sudden acceleration, faster than the second verse, almost comparable to The speed of the rap singing made the celebrities in the audience below listen more and more energetically.

When Xiao Yao's performance of this song ended, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

Although the stars felt that they could decide how to choose, there was another song behind Xiao Yao, and David Green didn't speak, so the stars didn't make a sound, they just applauded, waiting for Xiao Yao's next performance.

David Green and several other stars have just heard from Cordy Scott that Xiao Yao's two songs were performed by two different groups of musicians. The replacement is not unexpected, nor impatient, quietly waiting for them to be ready.

"The title of this song is "Lucky"!" Xiao Yao briefly introduced the title of the song as usual, then nodded to the musicians and began to perform.

The prelude to this song is very short, and Xiao Yao's own acoustic guitar is responsible for it. Xiao Yao played the prelude for two bars, and then began to sing.

When Xiao Yao sang this song, his movements and demeanor were different from those of the previous song. The rocker camera at the scene was pushed over again to give a close-up, and the people below saw Xiao Yao's expression state when he sang. The time interval between Xiao Yao singing two songs at this time is much shorter than that during the previous rehearsal. Both Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson were taken aback by Xiao Yao's quick and complete switching of performance status just now, and now the people in the auditorium are naturally also surprised in the same way.

Of course, the most surprising part of Xiao Yao's performance is that he showed two different gender timbres. When he sang the second half of the first verse of the song, a female voice came out from the live speaker, and as expected, there was a burst of exclamation in the audience.

"Oh, my God! Is this Yang's voice?" A group of people in the audience stared in disbelief.

This song is performed and sung live without any pre-recorded background music. They sat in the front row of the auditorium, relatively close to the stage, and could clearly see that when the female voice appeared, the harmony singers on the stage did not speak, but Xiao Yao's mouth moved. This scene really overturned their cognition.

The musicians and harmony singers on the stage had rehearsed with Xiao Yao, and had experienced this kind of shock earlier, so the performance on the stage was not affected by the audience's exclamation, and continued smoothly.

In the second half of the third verse, the female voice reappeared, and there was another exclamation from the audience. But this time, there was less doubt and more surprise in the eyes of the stars. Because it appeared twice in a row, they basically confirmed that the female voice was really made by Xiao Yao.

"Okay, everyone, let's vote first!" After Xiao Yao's second song performance, David Green stood up and said to the judges, "I guess you have something to say to Yang. I want to ask Yang a question, but first of all, I need a result. So everyone only talks about the result, not the feeling, the reason, and don’t affect others!"

"I choose Yang!" A celebrity took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Which one?" David Green asked.

"Personally, I prefer the latter song "lucky", but as a show for the award ceremony, I think "the" is more suitable!" The star thought for a while and said, "I choose "the"!"

"Okay," David Green nodded, and continued, "Next!"

"I chose Yang's "The"!" another star said.

"I choose Yang's "Lucky"!" said the third star.

"I choose Yang's "The"!" said the fourth.

"No suspense!" Cordy Scott turned to Nicky Thompson and smiled.
