Chase shot Ross a look, and before Felicity could say anything, Ross was already pulling the video back up on the big screen.
This time, everyone leaned in and watched closely.
Ross made a point of pausing right at the timestamps Alicia had mentioned, rewinding and replaying those sections twice so everyone could hear and see everything clearly.
Sure enough, at the thirty–nine–second mark, anyone with even half–decent musical training could catch it. Felicity’s transition from low to high register wasn’t quite smooth, and the notes didn’t connect the way they should have.
At one hundred thirty seconds, when she dropped from high back to low, she was actually slightly off–key.
The thing was, the song itself was so energetic, and Felicity had been dancing so hard that most people focused on the visuals.
Plus, her overall performance was solid, so those two shaky transitions had flown under the radar.
Looking at Alicia’s dance performance at those two specific moments, careful observers could spot the flaws.
Her first movement had a slight misstep, but she recovered so quickly that most people missed it.
During the second movement, she nearly lost her balance on the turn and immediately masked it with a downward tilt.
The average viewer wouldn’t catch these mistakes, but anyone paying close attention would see them clearly.
The panel of judges reacted instantly. Simon, Hannah, and Darren’s eyes went wide as they stared at Alicia, their expressions screaming, “Holy shit, she is dope p>
The other contestants looked at her with newfound awe, and the live stream chat exploded.
[Holy crap, that’s insane p>
[I was already shocked that Alicia could spot problems in Felicity’s performance, but pinpointing them down to the exact second? That’s next level p>
[How the hell did she do that p>
[I can’t think of any other words except ‘badass p>
Felicity’s fans immediately jumped to her defense: [She obviously studied that video beforehand on purpose p>
[Alicia is so manipulative. She memorized all of Felicity’s mistakes ahead of time just so she could call her out and humiliate her in front of everyone p>
[Exactly! And they’re just tiny mistakes anyway. Is it really worth making such a big deal out of them p>

[Nobody’s perfect when they’re singing and dancing at the same time. Everyone makes small errors. ]
[Plus, that was two years ago when Felicity had just joined LUMIA. She wasn’t as mature or skilled as she is now p>
Alicia’s fans jumped into the fray, too. [So your idol can make mistakes, but the trainees can’t p>
[You can point out the trainees‘ mistakes and criticize them way too harshly, calling them petty, and that’s disappointing behavior p>
[But when Ms. Sterling makes a mistake, suddenly there’s an excuse p>
[The key difference is that your idol already debuted in a group, but these guys are still growing and fighting to debut p>
[Your double standards are showing. What an eye–opener p>
Other fans and viewers agreed with this assessment.
Felicity and her fans were being way too hypocritical.
When she messed up as a debut idol, it was understandable, but she held these growing trainees to impossible standards and criticized them harshly.
The trainees‘ fans especially joined the barrage of sarcastic comments flooding the screen.
They’d been fed up with her holier–than–thou professional act for a while now, and they made sure to mock her so–called expertise.
Some people even went digging into Felicity’s background, and what they found only made things worse. She hadn’t attended any professional academy or studied with qualified instructors back home.
She hadn’t even finished high school.
The only credentials she could claim were joining LUMIA and her brief stint as a trainee at Hocem. That was it.
Even Nicole’s fans couldn’t hold back anymore. [Nicole’s the real victim here. Felicity’s dragging her down p>
[If Felicity hadn’t screwed herself over in that livestream, students would actually pick them now p>
[The trainees are scared of Felicity, so they’re choosing other groups instead. What did Nicole do to deserve this p>
[Her only mistake was getting paired with Felicity p>
[Nicole brought her on the show out of kindness, and this is how Felicity repays her? I’m so pissed p>
Alicia’s fans jumped in with their own jabs. [Isn’t she Nicole’s friend, though? There’s a saying about birds of a feather, you know p>
[Exactly. If your girl chose to bring Felicity here to mess with Alicia, then she’d better be ready to deal with the consequences p>

[You guys kept saying Alicia was holding people back, but you never had actual proof. Just a bunch of passive–aggressive nonsense p>
[But now Ms. Sterling’s dragging Nicole down, and that’s crystal clear for everyone to see p>
Nicole’s fans were livid. [What do you mean by birds of a feather? Nicole and Felicity aren’t even friends p>
[Has anyone ever heard Nicole and Felicity being close? Like, ever p>
