Chapter 813
Chapter 813
Sylvia had no idea about what was happening in the audience below because she was completely
focused on standing on stage, adjusting and placing all of her instruments in front of her.
Jenna, who was sitting in the audience, nervously watched Sylvia with her eyes fixed on her. The song
Soul exploded worldwide when Eden sang it years ago; it hit the soul like nothing else. Just a moment
ago, Ashlyn and Mrs. Ritter performed a duet while dancing gracefully.
No matter how you looked at it, Sylvia didn't stand a chance against them. But after she finished
preparing herself, she lifted her head and revealed a delicate and beautiful face under the flashing
lights.
The entire audience below was pitch black. She wore an all-black outfit that exuded coolness; even
Ashlyn's previous performances seemed insignificant compared to hers.
Franklin gazed deeply at her.
Just then! The woman suddenly raised her hand.
Cool electronic music immediately flowed out from the keyboard in front of her - different from the
melodious piano sound during Mrs. Ritter's and Ashlyn's performance earlier.
When they saw Sylvia manipulating the keyboard to produce electronic music, everyone widened their
eyes in amazement!
Sylvia stood under the stage lights looking incredibly cool - especially when playing.
Her skilled technique and superb ability made Ashlyn's previous performance seem like a joke!
Almost everyone at the scene looked shocked watching as Sylvia's fingers danced across keys!
Almost everyone present had heard of Soul before, but now they were a bit uncertain if what they had
heard before was really Soul?
Even the well-known keyboardists stared wide-eyed in disbelief at her.
"She... she's amazing!"
"I'll never be able to match her skills!"
"How is she so good?"
Suddenly a high note rang out!
A majestic scale burst forth again from Sylvia's fingertips.
"Oh my god! Look at her fingers! They're just too fast. I can finally see it clearly!"
Sylvia used many techniques and produced an effect that seemed like an entire symphony orchestra
with just one keyboard.
Then suddenly she threw away the keyboard and picked up the bass in her arms!
The sound of the bass rose up passionately while she sat down. She even used her feet to manipulate
the electronic keyboard in front of her! Her knees controlled switching music effects!
The sound of the electronic keyboard mixed with that of the bass for an even cooler effect!
"Her electronic keyboard isn't double-rowed. Is this specially made?"
"Oh my god! I'm really impressed today!"
Sylvia's solo performance created a band-like effect that shocked everyone present!
She performed Soul perfectly - passionate, grandiose, magnificent.
The audience boiled over with excitement.
Sylvia's performance was even more powerful than those professional-level keyboardists!
Especially when she could use both feet to control keyboards and switch music effects with knees
alternating between them!
Mrs. Ritter and Ashlyn's duet playing earlier seemed like trash not worth mentioning compared to
Sylvia's performance now.
And what about dancing? It was simply superfluous.
The magnificent melody of Soul echoed throughout the venue, shaking every soul present there.
Just when people were immersed in this ultimate music experience, suddenly an extremely penetrating
female voice erupted:
"The rain washes away the dirty soul!"
"..."
"Oh my god! She sings too?! She is singing Soul!"
"Her voice is so beautiful!"
"So lit, right?"
Sylvia's vocal range was wide, with a tone like heavy metal falling, cool yet powerful.
Her voice was far from fragile as her appearance suggested, but clean and bright.
Whether it was deep or low singing, she had perfect control.
Especially with her effortless delivery of the song's melody, there was no dragging or shy girlishness. It
gave people a feeling of vast openness.
The clean penetrating power gave people the feeling of strolling through emptiness.
It felt like your heartbeat would stop and you couldn't breathe along with her voice!
"I think... she sings better than Eden who originally sang this."
"That's why... this song 'Soul' has been covered countless times before. This time is the best!"
"This voice is f***ing amazing."
Everyone looked at Sylvia on stage with complex expressions.
So cool!
Really cool!
She stood there like a dazzling queen that no one could match up to.
Even some singers couldn't help but praise her after hearing her sing:
"Incredible vocals! It's such a waste if she doesn't become a singer."
"If she participated in Graley Piano Competition singing contest instead of just keyboard competition,
what champion? All champions would be hers."
"She plays bass extremely well too! Why not participate in bassist competitions? Instead of just
keyboard competitions? If she did participate, all champions would be hers for sure."
"I wonder if she has any interest in singing?"
The audience who previously enjoyed Ashlyn and Mrs. Ritter's performances were now dumbfounded
one by one after hearing Sylvia sing:
Staring blankly at Sylvia on stage
Especially Adrienne felt like going crazy herself,
"How... how can she be so strong?"
Compared to Sylvia, Ashlyn was nothing!
Jenna sitting in front finally couldn't help but sneer: "Sylvia is the best! The meaning behind 'Soul' can
hardly be understood by ordinary people. Miss Ritter just wore white dress and played the duet which
were too weak compared to my Sylvia's magnificent interpretation!"
Adrienne felt hot pain on her face as she lowered her head without saying anything anymore. She
really didn't expect that Sylvia could be so amazing and fantastic - it completely overshadowed Ashlyn.
Franklin sat in the front row, his eyes fixed on Sylvia, who was standing on stage amidst a sea of light.
She was stunningly beautiful and her music was even more so. But she herself was more beautiful
than her music!
The way she sang into the microphone and played her instrument with such grace even down to every
strand of hair that fell across her face - it all made Franklin feel proud and full of admiration.
She had captured the attention of everyone in the world! She was truly a shining star.
Mrs. Ritter's face turned dark as if it could drip ink. Her eyes were almost blinded as she stared at
Sylvia in disbelief - how could this be? After all those days practicing with Ashlyn, they were still no
match for Sylvia?
The song came to an end and Sylvia's voice stopped along with it. Almost everyone present seemed
lost in their own thoughts until they suddenly came back to reality by thunderous applause.
Sylvia looked down at all the people below before bowing gracefully and leaving the stage without any
hesitation or delay.
Her demeanor was both cool and confident - every step she took made Ashlyn feel like she had been
trampled upon mercilessly.
Mr. Guzman glared jealously at Louis. "Where did you find such an amazing disciple? You're so lucky,
Louis... whether it's your disciple or your disciple's disciple, they are all talented and amazing!"
How could he have ever thought about taking Ashlyn under his wing? Was he blind or simply
delusional?
"The problem is that she performs so well, I now think the champions of the Graley Piano Competitions
are all crap," Mr. Guzman said, on the verge of exploding with jealousy.
Hearing Mr. Guzman's insane jealousy, Louis snapped out of his shock and beamed with pride. "What
can I say? I have good taste and good luck. Sylvia is truly amazing and one-of-a-kind." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"What a unique talent," Fashion Mogul chimed in with a smile. "Sylvia really is an extraordinary
woman."
Franklin couldn't help but curl his lips into a pleased grin as he listened to them rave about Sylvia.
