Chapter 473 Undefeatable Vocal Skills
"Make it faster."
One of the crew members urged EVE to go to the stage. Due to their dramatic group discussion, they were late for their performance. In the end, Haemin and Wonbin had to do more ad-libs than usual to fill in their absence.
They didn't have time to speak with the audience, either, so they went to their formation right away.
The audience murmured in confusion, wondering why EVE didn't introduce themselves, unlike the other groups. However, they quickly dialed down in anticipation of their performance.
- My mind is still hung up on CHAOS' performance.
- CHAOS' performance will not be topped. Mark my words. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
- Stfu. EVE isn't even done performing yet.
- By the way, why did EVE not introduce themselves?
- My dad works as a crew member in SBC. He said that the EVE kids had way too much fun talking among themselves that they missed their cue. They can't afford to extend since it's a live show, so they decided to forgo the group's introduction.
- If that's true, then they're really cute!
- Ya'll believe everything on the internet these days.
"I can't see them," Jia whispered to Bora, who was right by her side.
Bora clicked her tongue and poked her friend's shoulder. "Of course, you can't. The lights are off!"
Meanwhile, the idols backstage waited for EVE to reveal their outfits. CHAOS, who settled backstage to watch EVE's performance, also paid great attention to the large screen before them.
As much as Haruki hated to admit it, EVE came up with the greatest concepts out of everybody in the entire show. Each week, they brought something different to the table. Sometimes, it made him want to perform on such stages, too.
EVE was also the reason why CHAOS went for the emotional route this time. Haruki was determined to show the audience that they, too, could pull off that kind of concept.
- You mean, ruled?
- No...dominated.
- Oh goodness, the world is truly ending.
As the first strains of music filled the air, the audience braced themselves for the familiar beats of Oasis—the bright anthem that was still in the charts even three months after its release.
However, they frowned in confusion when a simple and ambient melody was revealed. It was slightly haunting, almost something you would hear from a church. However, at the same time, it sounded beautiful.
Y frowned as he felt something brew inside of him. They hadn't sung yet, but he already had a feeling that he was going to be blown away by their performance.
Shivers ran down the spines of the spectators as the ambient sounds enveloped them.
Though the room was devoid of any air conditioning, it felt as though a gust of wind had swept through, stirring their very souls.
Then, as if emerging from the depths of a forgotten dream, June's voice pierced through the ambient silence.
It was a departure from the norm that left the audience, especially the fans, surprised.
For June to take the lead in the song's intro was unprecedented. Typically, the center's parts were focused on the bridges and endings of their performances. His sudden ascent to the first part of the song was an unexpected yet delightful treat.
However, that wasn't really what impressed the audience the most.
What truly captivated them was the power in his voice. June's voice had been on the softer, more stylistic side, even during Rising Stars. Sure, he has done quite a lot of high notes, which suited him well, but being able to belt them was another story.
However, right now, as he sang the chorus of the song almost half an octave higher than the original key, those who knew of his original talent were blown away.
Uno's eyebrows furrowed as he leaned against his knees, staring at the screen with piercing eyes.
"What's this?" he muttered under his breath.
Had June somehow surpassed his own limits and transcended the boundaries of his singing skills once again?
