She said. “Starting today, for the next week, each group of guests will work with the trainees in the practice rooms to create adaptations. We’ll have four livestream feeds running and broadcast the practice room situations in real time.
She added, “If you don’t want to watch the livestream, that’s fine too. We’ll edit the previous day’s practice room footage into videos every day and post them on the app p>
The audience agreed with this approach.
After all, many people had work and school, so they couldn’t constantly follow the livestream.
Then the four groups each entered their assigned practice rooms.
The livestream window split into four feeds.
Alicia’s group corresponded to Practice Room Four and its livestream camera.
After they sat down, the eight trainees turned to look at Alicia and Darren. “Ms. Delaney, Mr. Quinn, do you have any thoughts on how we should adapt our group’s song p>
Darren gave them an apologetic smile and said, “Sorry, I don’t know anything about adapting songs or choreography. But whatever singing and dancing you assign me, I’ll work hard to get it done p>
His goal was not to drag the team down.
Alicia smiled and leaned forward. “First, you need to decide on the musical style. If you go with pure folk music. it limits your choreography options quite a bit p>
She spoke confidently, her words flowing naturally, “So you could adapt it into folk–pop, folk–rock, folk–electronic, or something like that.
“Pick a style first, then adapt the song around it. Once the song arrangement is done, you can work on the choreography. Think about which direction feels right to you p>
After hearing her suggestions, all eight trainees shared their opinions and discussed the options.
In the end, they settled on a folk–rock fusion style.
Alicia offered another suggestion. “You should choose a team leader. The leader can figure out everyone’s strengths and help coordinate things so you’re working at peak efficiency p>
She could tell that the eight of them didn’t know each other very well yet.
The trainees agreed and voted to make Sean Sullivan their leader.
Sean had studied music since childhood and knew how to write songs, compose, and arrange music. So the mat responsibility for adapting the song fell to him.
Their group also had Spencer Young, the guy Alicia had praised earlier for his great dancing. He would handle most of the choreography work.
Once they had a clear direction, it was easy to get started
Sean gathered the team members in a circle, and they began bramstorming ways to improve the performance

Whenever they weren’t sure about something, they’d ask Alicia for input.

Every time, Alicia gave them solid advice, but she only offered suggestions and didn’t interfere with the trainees creative process, giving them plenty of room to work.
She made sure to interact regularly with each trainee so everyone could get some screen time on the livestream.
This group worked the most efficiently and had the best overall atmosphere from the start.
Team 2. with Simon and Hannah, also had a great vibe going.
Even though the two weren’t good at song arrangements, they called up some friends for help, then relayed the feedback to the trainees and let them run with it.
Team 3, Nicolas and Maxwell’s group, was by far the most laid–back.
Since neither of them knew how to arrange music, they basically became hands–off supervisors.
They left everything to the trainees and kept egging them on from the sidelines, telling them to make it as hype as possible.
They even tried to get the trainees to play some video games to “relax p>
Of course, the atmosphere was definitely there, and this group’s livestream had the highest viewership and buzz.
Team 1 was the complete opposite.
While Team 3 was completely hands–off, Team 1 had both female mentors trying to control everything.
The two women even got into a disagreement about how things should be done.
This time, Felicity didn’t back down, and Nicole dropped her usual peacemaker act, too.
She came out swinging, insisting they had to try the changes her way.
Neither of them could convince the other, and things escalated fast.
They each grabbed four trainees and split off to work on separate versions of the song.
The plan was simple–whoever’s arrangement turned out better would be the one they’d use.
The trainees hadn’t even started their performance “battle” yet, but these two were already at war with each other
Hashtags like “NicolelsProfessional” and “NicolelsResponsible” shot straight to the trending topics, one right after the other
This time, it wasn’t just the regular viewers who were getting annoyed. Even casual bystanders were ted up
“Two trending topics for this?‘ they thought. And wait, wasn’t Felicity the one who kept bragging about being so professional before? How did it suddenly become Nicole’s thing now?
