Lorelai was the third to appear.

Instead of playing the piano this time, she sang her famous song “Nessun dorma” in Italian.

Everyone was stunned when a high, steady, high–pitched voice exploded out of her throat.

When she finished singing, it took a full five to six seconds for the audience to erupt with earth– shattering applause.

Countless people inside and outside the venue were praising her

“A seven–year–old girl can sing such high notes and skills. It’s amazing!”

“As long as she keeps working hard, she might be able to catch up to the original singer one day.”

“My Italian Student roommate says her pronunciation is perfect.

“She sang this song in English at the provincial competition, and in less than a month, she’s made such noticeable progress. It’s incredible!”

Everyone thought, ‘If a professional opera singer sings this level of opera, it might not necessarily win the championship. But if a seven–year–old girl sings it, she has to win.”

Great minds think alike. The judges gave Lorelai 40 votes.

The entire place was in an uproar.

Everyone was discussing, “How is the other young lady going to beat her next?”

Under everyone’s gaze, Josie, wearing the white dress that Athena had designed for her, wore a hair clip that Maria had designed for her on her forehead. She was wearing Marshmallow on her wrist and carrying Hello Kitty in her arms as she skipped onto the stage.

The male host, who had received benefits from the Pittman family, deliberately asked her, “Josie, do you think Lorelai sang well?”

“I don’t know,” Josie said cutely. “I didn’t hear Lorelai sing. I don’t know what she sang. Is she good?”

There was a low laugh from the audience.

The male host choked and asked again, “Why didn’t you listen to Lorelai sing? Do you not like her songs?”

Josie looked at him strangely. “Because Josie has to prepare her own song. I don’t have time to look at Lorelai.”

Perfect answer.

The male host, still indignant, asked again, “Lorelai got full marks. Are you afraid that you’ll lose to her?”

“I’m not afraid,” Josie shook her little head and said, “Josie loves singing the most. Josie feels happy when she sings. Josie’s favorite family member is also here. Josie is not afraid of anything.”

The male host wanted to ask something more, but the female host, unable to stand it any longer, smiled and asked Josie, “It’s the last song. What are you going to sing?”

Josie raised her small hand and said, “I want to sing ‘Hello.””

The host was stunned.

The audience was also stunned.

The host quickly reacted and asked, “Is that the song ‘Hello‘ that Ms. Shepard just sang?”

Josie nodded. “Yes.”

The host asked, “Why did you choose this song?”

3

Josie said, “Because I like it. Josie really likes this song. The teacher said if you like it, just sing it. Nothing else matters.”

There was a commotion in the audience.

Whether it was the bullet screen in the live–stream or the comments online, everyone was fervently discussing it.

[Is this a coincidence? But isn’t it too much of a coincidence? Many people say Josie’s voice sounds very similar to Paityn’s. Some media even call her ‘Little Paityn.‘ Even the last song she chose tonight is the same as Paityn’s. It’s amazing.]

[If you look closely, this little girl even looks a bit like Paityn, especially her eyes. They’re exactly the same

[This competition is so interesting. We get to see the battle between two genius girls and the showdown between a genius girl and a superstar…]

The competition’s viewership and broadcast ratings are far ahead. It might even become the top variety show of the year]

While everyone was talking, the music started at the competition venue.

Everyone was watching and listening, waiting to see if Josie could surpass Lorelai and Paityn.

“Hello, it’s me.”

The little girl’s pure and ethereal voice began to sing. It did not have the depth and power of the original, nor did it carry Paityn’s heartbreaking sadness and tenderness. There was only a pure and sincere greeting and blessing.

A song that was originally deep, strong, and a bit sorrowful became healing through her voice.

It was like a baby arriving in this world with memories and longings from a past life, greeting the living beings it saw with eager anticipation.

Like a pure child with a sincere heart and goodwill, waving at relatives and travelers who had endured life’s hardships, saying, “Hi, it’s me.”

This kind of innocent, genuine sincerity really touched people’s hearts…

The audience did not shed tears, but her singing melted their hearts. It gave them the feeling that someone in this world still treated them sincerely.

Only Paityn was moved to tears, covering her face with both hands as they streamed down.

-Originally, she had sung this song from a mother’s perspective, expressing her apology and repentance to her daughter.

However, coming from Alina’s mouth, the song was filled with healing power.

Her Alina was truly an angel.

She did not know that the camera had perfectly captured her teary–eyed, hands–covering–her–face moment. The video was broadcast in a close–up that lasted several seconds and reached hundreds of millions of viewers.

This close–up of her and Josie’s performance quickly went viral across the Internet.

As Josie’s pure, ethereal voice gradually faded into the distance with its soft lingering notes, the venue fell into complete silence.

The music stopped.

There was silence.

Until Josie bowed and said softly. Thank you for listening to me sing.”

Only then did everyone snap out of their daze and burst into deafening applause.

The audience stood up and acknowledged her.

The host also returned to his senses and quickly walked forward to stop Josie, who was about to get off the stage.

“Josie, you sang too well!” The male host continued, “Do you think you’re better at singing, or is Ms. Shepard better at singing?”

Josie blinked her big clear eyes and said. “This question can only be answered by the people listening to the song. Josie only hopes that everyone likes her song.”

The male host disliked this answer and asked again, “Do you think you can win the championship?”

Josie looked at him strangely. “Shouldn’t this question be asked by the judges?”

The male host pressed on, “If you don’t win the championship, will you cry?”

Josie yawned and rubbed her eyes. “Josie is so sleepy. Josie wants to sleep now.”

The audience burst into laughter again, finding this little girl incredibly cute.

The female host, not wanting to hear more of these questions, quickly chimed in with a smile, “It is ind time for the little one to sleep. Josie, go and rest. Let’s take a look at the voting results of the judges.”

The lively scene quietened down again.

The host announced, “The media delegation’s voting results are out. Everyone, please take a look-

All eyes turned to the electronic display above the stage.

The numbers on the display screen jumped rapidly and kept rising.

“30 votes–The host read it out in an exaggerated voice, excitedly saying, “Little Josie has received the approval of all the members of the media delegation. Let us congratulate her!”

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

The host continued in an infectious voice, “Now, let’s see the voting results of the professional chief judges.”

Everyone looked at the electronic display screen in unison.

The host read the numbers aloud: “2, 4, 6—”

3-

10

“Oh my God!” the two hosts screamed in unison, making exagge “Another unanimous vote?”

“These two genius children are too amazing! It’s so unexpected. wonderful performances.”

“But unfortunately, there can only be one champion. What shoul the production team has to say.”
