She tried everything to convince Kelly to watch the rehearsals, but Kelly remained unmoved.
"You're out of your mind. My presence on this show is already a favor to them, and you want me to rehearse?"
She didn't care about her singing at all; her entire focus was on her appearance.
She was obsessed with how revealing her outfit should be and how to dress sexily.
In her own words.
"I want to capture everyone's attention at first glance, so they can't help but vote for me."
What a shallow mindset.
A true singer should be focused on delivering a captivating performance to win over the audience's ears.
But Kelly was only concerned with how she looked, trying to grab their attention.
The show's staff kept reminding her to check out the rehearsals, but she ignored them completely.
In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
When the competition officially began, Kelly remained utterly unfazed.
Everyone around her was sweating with nerves, but she calmly blew on her freshly painted nails.
The first two foreign singers performed flawlessly, as steady as a recording.
Kelly smirked.
"Did you hear that? They say it's a live broadcast with no audio enhancements, but you can clearly tell they're just playing pre-recorded tracks. I wouldn't be surprised if they were lip-syncing."
"Idiot." I cursed her.
"Their steady performance was a result of their skill and hard work during rehearsals.
And her?" I thought.
Ha!
There were seven groups of singers in total, and Kelly was fifth in line. First, two incredibly steady foreign singers performed, followed by some domestic singers.
These were seasoned performers with years of stage experience. They had both the vocal skills and the looks.
Despite this, some minor mistakes occurred, which were inevitable during a live broadcast.
But these errors were within acceptable limits, just minor flaws.
Then, it was Kelly's turn.
She strutted confidently onto the stage, swaying her hips as she made her way to the center.
To be honest, despite the fake publicity over the past two years, she had managed to gain some popularity.
She still had a few die-hard fans and with her good looks and carefully chosen sexy high-slit dress.
The crowd cheered louder for her than for the previous singers.
She was pleased with the response, and I could see the smug satisfaction on her face.
Go ahead, enjoy your moment. In just one minute, that smile will be gone.
