Chapter 20 : Longing of White Swan

One of the harshest judge, who was well known for being the famous composer all over China, Old Bin wore a grave, furious expression.

He banged the table over and over furiously and scream at all the contestants. " NEXT! "

Other judges also lost their interest when they heard the dolls singing on the stage with no feelings.

What disappoints Old Bin and all the judges the most were, Fu Wanxi. At first, they had a high-hope for Fu Wanxi because she was sent by a famous entertainment company and her background. And yet, Fu Wanxi's singing skill was at an amateur level and even though her background told her that she had been on the field for 9 years, her singing sounded like futile screams, trying to hit a high-pitch.

This made the judges lost hope on all the contestants. Not only the judges but the producers were also disappointed if all the contestant sings like cats, how could the TV program survive?

After her performance, Fu Wanxi company sent some presents and a red pocket of money to the producers and judges to make sure their artist would win.

Old Bin, the judges, and the producers reject the money immediately, her singing skill couldn't lie to the judges nor the audiences! It was horrible than what they hoped! Her voice was akin to a dog growls!

Finally, it was time for Li Lian's turn. She walks to the stage full of confidence. At first, the judge wanted to wave off and tells the staff to turn away the stupid clowns to go back. Their impressions changed when they looked at Li Lian.

Li Lian took the microphone and stood straight elegantly. One could knew instantly that she's different from the rest.

Her eyes was filled with passion for singing and as a person who has been in the industry for the past 50 Years, Old Bin knew that this girl was different.

Old Bin took his mic and asked Li Lian, His expression stills look stern and angry, but people knew that his tone softened at Li Lian. " What are you Going to sing? "

Confidently, Li Lian answers him " Longing of The White Swan "

Old Bin's face turns brighter. That song is one of his favorite songs, but that song need a lot of high singing techniques and also the feelings in the song are hard to describe by young singers.

He had a lot of expectations, but still he doesn't want to hang his expectations too high, after all, Li Lian still looked young and green from his point of view.

The song slowly played and Li Lian expression mellowed along with the song. An angelic voice came from her red lips, her expression changed to fit the song, she has become a complete another different person from before!

" The lotus flowers filled the pond,

slowly you open your eyes,

yearning for her,

your eyes always gaze at the Blue feathers,

at the pond, you play your flutes

slowly and leisurely,

as if calling for another person.

your eyes always gazes at the blue feathered bird,

how about me?

I strive for your gaze

I longed for your attention.

Maybe if my feathers turn bluer?

Or if my legs are a bit shorter?

My time had passed,

Slowly, I knew I'm going to disappear,

Just once, I hope your eyes gaze at me,

How pitiful, how sad, that's what others said to me.

I now ran out of my time.

The sands slowly past down the clock,

Just once, along with you Flute's tune,

I sang along with you.

Finally, the song had ended,

and lastly, your eyes gaze at me.

Lotuses flower has poison,

Your eyes gave me happiness and loneliness,

I flapped my wings, my time has stopped.

As a gift, I gave my last song to you..

If only I sang for you a long time ago,

would your heart take a turn

will your eye gaze at me before my death.

I only wish for once, but my heart turned greedier...

I longed for you

this white feathered bird longed for your unattainable love

This sad swan,

bids goodbye to her last everlasting love,

before she closes her eyes lifelessly

Along with the lotuses petals the blew across the pond "

The whole stage turned silent even after she finished the song. People couldn't snap back from their awe and their mouth gaped and tears fell. Their dumbfounded expression and sobbed filled the room until one person starts to clap that the crowds snap back and followed with another sea of applause.

The judge and audience unconsciously cry, tears streams down their cheeks. they could feel the white swan's feeling of lonely wish to be loved by the person, who had another person in their heart.

While sobbing, one of the judges stood up and gave a clap, followed by Old Bin and others, even the contestants and staffs who heard her sing couldn't help but stood up while giving Li Lian applause.

Old Bin tries his best to surpass his cries and stood along with the other judges and gave his clap of admiration. A young girl at her age, how could she depict the feeling of the song? And what also shocked him the most was her singing techniques!

He had known many singers that could sing the song too, but none of them could resemble the original singer! But Li Lian, not only did she perfected the song with her expression and singing skill, she didn't sing the way the original singer sang and copied it the way it was. Instead, she completely turned the song as her own song!

" Truly beautiful, your techniques and the feeling of the song resonated to everyone's heart !"

" Amazing, This is the best song I've ever heard "
