333 Battle of the Performances (2/2)
All the Black Stars celebrated this victory. However, they couldn't grow complacent because the voting hadn't ended yet. Anything could happen, especially since the competition in the Most Popular Female Artist ranking was extremely fierce compared to its counterpart Most Popular Male Artist where Jin Chonglin was already deemed to be the clear winner. The gap between him and the number 2 consisted of millions of votes.
Zhou Mei'er pumped her fists, as she watched the number of Iris' votes grow quickly. At the moment, the gap between the number 1 and the number 2 was more than 5,000 votes. And it was still growing by the second.
”It seems that many people are impressed by our boss' performance,” she observed.
”Of course they'll be impressed. I think this is Boss Iris' biggest and most spectacular performance yet,” Ming Li said.
All the Black Stars agreed with her. Iris usually played the piano during her performances. But this time, she opted for an eye-popping and mind-blowing stage production and threw JJ to play the piano for her. It was really a performance worthy of the Harmony Music Awards.
It completely overshadowed all the earlier performances. If the next performances failed to outshine Iris', then her performance would definitely be the most memorable one.
The only other person who could perhaps leave a more lasting impression than her was Jin Chonglin. The two not only competed against each other for the awards but also for the unofficial title of best performance of the night.
Who would win in this battle of the performances? Would it be Iris or Jin Chonglin? Would Iris beat Jin Chonglin again just like she did in the music charts?
After a few more acts which all felt lukewarm after Iris' amazing performance, it was finally Jin Chonglin's turn on the stage.
During Iris' performance earlier, she flew in the air via suspended wires. This time, Jin Chonglin was driven to the stage in a cool vintage sports car. He stood on the backseat of the open-top vehicle while he sang and gyrated his body with his sexy back-up dancers.
When he reached the stage, an impressive number of synchronized back-up dancers joined him in a fun, energetic and sexy hip hop R&B performance. Not only was Jin Chonglin a great singer and musician but he was also a superb dancer. All his moves were on-point. Combined with his oozing sex appeal and charisma, nobody could resist going crazy for him.
There were quite a number of fans who fainted from over-excitement whenever he winked, smiled or pointed a finger at them.
The only person who remained unaffected by his deadly charm was his own brother. Jin Liwei sat motionless on his seat while all the others went crazy around him. Even Iris was dancing and singing along to the music.
Near the end of his performance, a back-up dancer handed a bouquet of red roses to the singing and dancing Jin Chonglin. Then he jumped down the stage and walked past the first rows. Just as he sang the last lines of his song, he threw the bouquet hard.
Iris was shocked and extremely confused when the bouquet shot towards her. It was only her reflexes that allowed her to catch the bouquet a few inches before it could hit her on the face.
”Oh baby, you're the only one for me~”
Jin Chonglin sang this last line of his song and then winked at Iris.
