Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

br/>Girls' friendship sometimes comes surprisingly quickly, and in just one meal and a few hours, Vera has already stuck to Elisa.

The next day, Elisa and Vera walked out of the elevator arm in arm. When they passed the lobby on the first floor, Elisa deliberately looked in the direction of the reception desk.There sat a short-haired woman checking in a guest.

When she raised her head, that bright smiling face broke into Eliza's vision unexpectedly.

Eliza's pupils shrank suddenly, but before she could take a closer look, Vera walked out of the hotel with her arm in her arms.

Recording "The Voice" felt very different than watching it.

Peter caught up with the sixth season of "The Voice of America". At that time, he and Aunt May were sitting leisurely on the sofa, watching the show while grabbing a handful from the bag of potato chips on the coffee table. , Cracking in his mouth.

But now, standing in the waiting room with Christo, he felt that his palms were already sweating nervously.Obviously before coming to the recording site, Peter had already made up his mind to keep calm and optimistic, and send encouragement and support to Christopher and Elisa when needed, but when he actually came to the waiting room At that time, he found that he seemed even more anxious than Christo beside him.

As soon as they arrived at the recording site, Elisa and the contestants were brought to another room by the program staff.

When Elisa walked in, the room was silent for a moment, and countless probing eyes fell on her.Facing these apprehensive or curious gazes, Elisa smiled frankly, raised her hand and waved to the others in the room, "Hi everyone, I'm Elisa."

Seeing her reaction, many people nodded their heads and then looked away, leaving only a few eyes still on her, sizing her up unscrupulously.

The corners of Elisa's mouth curled up, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. She silently remembered the owner of those gazes, and suddenly heard a call from a corner of the room, "Eliza, here!"

Elisa turned her head and saw Vera who was holding her right arm high, looking at the passionate look in her gray-green eyes.

Elisa walked to Vera and sat down, and Vera immediately took Elisa's arm, the palms against her were slightly stiff, and she complained softly in her ear, "Eliza I don’t know anyone in this room except you.” It was the first time she left her parents’ side and waited for the unknown future alone in a crowd of strangers. Vera only felt that the great anxiety was like a A ferocious beast attacked her, causing the 16-year-old girl who was overprotected by her family to feel anxious.

Clinging to Eliza, whom she had only gotten to know yesterday, Vera finally breathed a sigh of relief, freed herself from the boundless panic for a while, and began to raise her head carefully, looking around curiously like a deer that just walked out of the woods looking at everything around.

The staff walked into the waiting room of the players, and every time they called out the name of a player, the called players would consciously walk up to the staff and take their own number plates from their hands.

When Eliza got the number plate, she whispered "thank you" to the staff.As soon as she returned to the original sitting position, Vera turned her head slightly and saw the number on the number plate in Eliza's hand—85.

Although it took so long for Eliza to be called, Vera couldn't deny that she still had a faint expectation in her heart, but seeing the numbers clearly printed in Elisa's hand that she couldn't have any illusions, Vera La sighed in frustration.

Elisa looked at the girl beside her pouting her pink mouth, and patted her on the shoulder amusedly.Although she didn't understand why Vera wanted to get a similar order of appearance as hers, the childish innocence on the girl's face clearly expressed her frustration.

Vera's lips twitched slightly, but Eliza couldn't hear the words she muttered in a low voice——

"If the numbers are close, I can go back with Elisa after stepping off the stage."

The blond-haired girl who was not familiar with the rules imagined this.

Following the host's impassioned intro, the stage was lit up in red, and the audience at the recording site cheered almost immediately.

"The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason." As soon as Gwen Stefani opened her voice, the ambiguous breath wandered in the air. As the lead singer of the NoDoubt band and the original singer of this song "Hella Good", when her voice came out, it was Has turned this place into her home field.

But the other mentors weren't going to let Gwen take the limelight alone.The light moved to Pharrell Williams who was beating the drums. He opened his mouth, "But your love keeps on coming like an underbolt." The audience's attention was drawn away from Gwen.

Accompanied by the rhythm, the initiative slowly shifted to the third mentor, Adam Levine. He tilted his head slightly, and the tattoo on half of his arm could not be covered by a white vest and a short-sleeved jacket, " Come here a little closer." He didn't make any extra moves, but the audience couldn't help screaming excitedly.

Gwen slowly approached the last mentor who opened her voice-Blake Shelton. This maverick country musician made one song after another, while enjoying life happily, and also through "The Voice of America" ​​gained more popularity.He sang, "Cause Iwannasee you, baby, real closeup."

Gwen walked back to the center of the stage with vigorous steps while singing "Get over here". Under the red light, everything on the stage was rendered ambiguous and blurred.As the instructors performed to their heart's content, the emotions of the audience gradually reached their peak. They waved their hands almost frantically and screamed for this rare gluttonous feast for them who love music.

Although the performances of the mentors are for the grand opening of the seventh season of "The Voice of America", for each mentor personally, the significance of this is not only that.After all, in the blind selection stage and the follow-up robbing session, for the players they are optimistic about, their personal preferences often determine which mentor will eventually fall into the arms of that player, and all players can see the live broadcast. In this opening show, every mentor tried his best to show himself in front of the players, hoping to leave a better impression on those players who have not yet determined their goals.

In the waiting room, the gazes of all the players were fixed on the small TV screen on that side, and the scorching gaze seemed to burn through the LCD screen.

Under the anxious anticipation of the contestants, the instructors sat on the special swivel chairs, and the familiar back of the seat appeared on the screen. After the familiar opening remarks, it was finally time for the first contestant to appear on the stage.

The quiet and thin boy with brown curly hair walked onto the stage with a guitar in his arms. He looked a little nervous and nodded shyly in the direction of the band.As soon as the music started, the other three instructors cast their playful eyes on Blake, who was drooping and meditating. The first contestant sang his work "AllOverMe".

Singing the work of the tutor in the competition, although clearly expressing one's goal, may not be able to achieve good results, and it can even be said to be a bad move.Mentors who are covered tend to be more critical, and other mentors will have more concerns and may not turn around when the players perform so clearly.

But this does not mean that he has no chance to come back. If he performs amazingly enough, it is not impossible to get four turns.

It's just that the brown-haired boy who was the first to play obviously didn't meet the requirements in Blake's mind. When the male voice sang to the end, he stroked the red button with his palm, but he didn't press it in the end.

In the disappointed eyes of the brown-haired boy, the four seats slowly turned back, and the comfort of the instructors did not make him feel better. Everyone knows what this defeat is like for him. hit.

Those who opened the show were not allowed, which undoubtedly added to the tension in the waiting room.

As one contestant after another stepped onto the stage, the remaining sounds in the waiting room were all silenced.

Vera walked onto the stage before Elisa. She looked at Elisa with Bambi's round eyes. After exchanging a hug with her, she seemed to gain strength and walked cautiously with her pink fists. on stage.

Eliza stood behind her, taking a deep breath, not knowing exactly who she was nervous about.

Luckily, Vera got Gwen's favor, and after a dozen contestants, it was finally Eliza's turn.

The blond girl walked onto the stage with a confident smile on her face, but her arm hanging by her side was twitching slightly.

She stood on the stage and nodded slightly in the direction of the band. When the lights dimmed, many things flashed in front of Elisa's eyes as if they were flying around.

Unknown world, bizarre dreams.

In this way, half voluntarily and half forcedly, she was engulfed by the unknown torrent.

Taking a step back is an unbearable abyss.

In the separate recording room, Peter felt his calf twitching slightly. He held his breath nervously and watched the lights on the screen dim, leaving only the girl's figure looming in the faint light.

In the corner, the drum beat gradually.

The author has something to say: Note: Tao Tao will make some changes to the "Voice of America" ​​game system, which will be explained in the text, so I won't go into details here.

PS: What I recommend today is not music, but a recent black-and-white movie "Summer", which is about the (former) Soviet rock that may not be so mainstream nowadays.The whole film, even if watched in front of the big screen, can also be agitated.One of the peculiarities of watching this film in theaters is that you are not prevented from standing up and dancing, which may also be read as an extension of the spirit of rock rebellion.
