Chapter 394: The debut of the Cupola Band

"Yes, we're a band. Charles was a little nervous, and his voice was a little trembling: "The name of our band is ...... Called......"

"It's called a cupola!" Vivien whispered a reminder, but everyone heard her reminder because of the headset.

"Haha!" the audience let out a good-natured laugh.

"Ah yes, it's called a cupola. Charles scratched his head in embarrassment.

"So......" Helen, the beauty actress judge, asked with a smile, "Are you a couple?"

Charles looked back, and hurriedly shook his head with Vivien in denial: "No, she's my sister." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry. Helen shrugged her shoulders and asked, "What show did you bring us today?"

"A Black Hole Band's 'In?the End'. When it comes to music, Charles speaks much more fluently.

"Wow!" Helen smiled and applauded, "Good luck to you." ”

Taking advantage of the gap between their preparations, Helen closed the microphone and communicated with another judge next to her, Colon: "It's another song by the Black Hole Band, and there are many contestants singing Black Hole songs this year?"

Colon shrugged: "That Chinese band is very popular this year, and many young people like their songs very much. ”

On stage, Charles and his teammates were communicating and preparing.

Not long after the formation of the Cupola Band, the name of the second secondary school was given by Mike, and he was not as good as this name.

Ever since he discovered that he was eavesdropping on the Black Hole band, Vivien gave up her disguise and began pestering Charles to join his band.

In the past six months, the popularity of the Black Hole Band has gradually spread, and the songs have been quickly spread and widely sung by people, and many fans who originally did not listen to rock music have also begun to understand them and then like them.

Vivien has sealed her former idol, and now her room is full of posters of the Black Hole Band, and her whole dress has begun to rocker.

Her position in the band, she started as a bassist, and she only had this instrument.

But when she found that she was more reliable in singing than Charles, she took over from Charles as the lead singer.

In this way, the Cupola became a band with a female bassist who doubled as the lead singer.

Very offbeat.

Howard was Mike's hired drummer, his neighbor, and had formed two bands and had much more experience than them.

The first song they rehearsed was from their common idol, the Black Hole Band.

From the early days of the band's formation, they set a goal to be a metal band.

After rehearsing together for a few months, they desperately wanted to show others, and Vivian happened to see the registration poster for "Rice Got Talent", and everyone hit it off and chose to participate in the audition.

Before this, they had never had stage performance experience, but they didn't expect to successfully pass the audition and enter the preliminary stage.

"Come on!" Charles gave his teammates an encouraging look, and Vivien didn't care on the surface, but she couldn't help but show a hint of apprehension in her eyes.

The on-site director confirmed that they were ready, and also gave the password for recording.

He glanced back at the backstage aisle host, nodded, and the overhead lights dimmed.

Boom!

The synthesizer made a dull heartbeat sound, and Mike added a reverb to create an empty, ethereal feeling in an instant.

“it starts with one~!”

"There's one thing from beginning to end~!"

Vivien's reverberant singing voice was ethereal, and the first sound made the four judges sit up straight in surprise.

"Wow!" The audience shouted in surprise one after another, and the adapted song "In the End" really amazed them.

The contestants who chose to sing the songs of the Black Hole Band before either tried to imitate as much as possible, or changed them indecently, and it was the first time that they took this kind of adaptation route.

The exclamations of the audience made Charles and the others a little excited, and they were like taking a reassuring pill, and their mentality calmed down in an instant.

“all i know~!”

"I understand everything~!"

Vivien simply closed her eyes and immersed herself in the singing.

Mike plays the piano timbre, sets the background, he's the heart of the whole song, and if he messes up, the whole song is messed up.

Howard's drums are also reverberated, sounding like a heart beating on its own in his body in his sleep.

He bit his lip and tried not to look up at the dark and oppressive auditorium under the stage, steady the rhythm.

“watch you go~!”

"Watching you leave~!"

Vivien's half-remix and head vocals played very well on the scene, and the ethereal singing voice directly made Helen shoot the pass button.

Opening her eyes, she slowly raised her arms.

“i've tried so hard,”

"I've struggled,"

“and got so far,”

"It's been possible to get to where it is now,"

“but in the end,”

"But in the end, I found out,"

“it doesn't even matter。 ”

"All to no avail. ”

“i had to fall,”

"I have fallen of my own will,"

“to lose it all,”

"The position to drop it all,"

“but in the end,”

"But in the end, I realized,"

“it doesn't even matter。 ”

"Everything was in vain. ”

With a short pause, Mike pressed the drum machine, Howard quickly struck the cymbals, and a strong rhythm appeared, and the audience began to get excited.

Charles took a breath, stepped forward, and began to sing the lyrics.

“one thing i don't know why,”

"There's one thing I didn't understand,"

“it doesn't even matter how hard you try,”

"No matter how hard you try and why it still doesn't help,"

……

Rap is a homegrown art in the United States, and its popularity and audience acceptance are far more profound than those in other parts of the world.

So when Charles started rapping, the audience stood up and clapped their hands to the rhythm.

On the judges' bench, the black bald judge cheered and firmly slapped the pass button.

There are already two pass buttons, and as long as there is one more, it means that the band can enter the semi-finals!

Charles was a little excited, and the lyrics blurted out involuntarily increased by two points, like a loaded bullet under the mixture of drums, full of attack power.

“i've?tried so hard,”

"I've struggled,"

“and got so far,”

"It's been possible to get to where it is now,"

When Vivien's ethereal singing voice appeared, the drum beat disappeared in an instant, as if it had never been there.

But when the rap reappeared, the drum beat was directly more ferocious, Charles raised his arms high, and the lyrics spat out of his mouth, directly winning him two more pass buttons.

Four pass keys, all bright!

"OMG!" Helen exclaimed, clutching her chest, "Wonderful performance! I've never heard of this song ever adapted like this, whose idea is this?"

Mike raised his hand a little shyly.

"You're a genius!" Helen stood up and appealed to the audience behind her, "Let's give this young band a little more applause, shall we? One, two, three, four, you got four yes! You can go straight to the final! Congratulations!"

On the stage, everyone hugged each other excitedly, laughed and jumped.

"We did it! We did it!" Vivien shouted happily, "I love Black Hole!"
