Chapter 97
Maxwell couldn’t get an answer out of Alicia.
He had no choice but to discuss it with Nicolas, and they randomly picked a song together
Alicia turned to the trainees in her group and asked, “Which one do you guys want to do p>
The performance was mainly to showcase the trainees‘ skills, so she figured they should be the ones to decide.
Plus, his would give them more screen time and help them stand out.
As for Darren, he was completely fine with whatever Alicia chose.
The trainees in Team 4 didn’t expect Alicia to actually ask for their input.
They could feel her respect, and it warmed something in their chests.

After all, the other three groups of celebrity mentors had just voted without bothering to ask the trainees what they thought.
None of them played coy about it. One by one, they shared their opinions, and in the end, the group settled on a song that wouldn’t be too hard to arrange or choreograph.
[Guys, the four celebrity groups just voted for four different songs p>
[They’re gonna leave us with whatever’s left, and you know it’s gonna be the hardest one to adapt p>
[So, should we just vote for that last song then p>
[Damn, you’re evil lol p>
[That last one’s folk music. It’s not just the hardest to sing but probably the hardest to choreograph too p>
[Are you guys really gonna go that hard p>
[Vote it! Go big or go home p>
[Yes! I’m down. Let’s vote for the hardest one p>
Aside from a few fans who actually cared about their favorites‘ well–being, most of the audience loved the chaos and weren’t about to miss this opportunity.
So the folk music song that none of the four celebrity groups had chosen suddenly shot to first place like a rocket.
Nicole was staring at her phone, watching the votes come in, and a shadow crossed her eyes.
This was the last song she wanted.
She knew Alicia had trained in classical instruments, while she’d only ever learned modern ones.
Alicia had been doing ballet since she was a kid and had incredible flexibility. Still, Nicole hadn’t started dancing or learning performance skills until high school.
She couldn’t help but regret opening her big mouth.

Chapter 95
Why did I have to suggest that the mentors should get to vote too? she thought bitterly.
The other celebrity mentors saw the song’s votes skyrocket and were just as stunned.
Simon looked utterly defeated and asked. ‘Seriously? This song p>
He turned to the live stream screen and added, “You guys are brutal p>
Hannah joked to the camera, “Come on, guys, you’re treating us like your worst enemies here p>
This was the last song they wanted to pick.
Nicolas and Maxwell both wore the same reluctant expressions.
Maxwell said, “I’ve never sung folk music before p>
He preferred listening to and singing modern, upbeat songs with lots of energy.
Darren chimed in from the other side, “Not only am I not flexible, but I’m also kind of stiff, so if you want me to dance to olk music, please save me p>
He’d be fine with high–energy dancing, but he couldn’t handle folk music choreography. With his tall frame and rigid limbs, ust thinking about it was terrifying.
When Maxwell heard that, he couldn’t help but picture the dances he’d seen before.
His face filled with doubt, and he said, “Oh my god, we actually have to dance to folk music? I want to call for help too p>
He hadn’t just sung folk music before; he had no idea how to dance to it either.
Everyone burst out laughing at that.
The screen flooded with comments: [LMAO p>
Nicolas didn’t usually listen to folk music either, and he’d definitely never danced to it.
He looked completely helpless and said, “I want to call for help too p>
Then he turned to the screen and made a cute pleading face. “Please, can you guys stop and pick a different song p>
The comments rolled in. [Nope, we won’t p>
Even if you beg us, we’re still picking this one p>
[Yeah, that’s right. Not happening p>
The more the guests looked like they wanted to die and begged for mercy, the more enthusiastically tans and viewers voted for that song.
Alicia saw Darren’s “I want to run away right now” expression and couldn’t help but laugh.
These people didn’t usually deal with folk music dance, so their first reaction was to picture the traditional folk dancing they
remembered.
But folk music could actually blend with modern choreography and be adapted into something really exciting and
watchable.

She didn’t say anything yet, though, and decided to let them panic a bit longer.
The show’s entertainment value was definitely maxed out anyway.
As soon as the voting time on the official X account ended, the folk music song sat at the top of the charts

The guests all gave bitter smiles and said, “This isn’t making things hard for the trainees, it’s making things hard for us.
Chase and Marley both laughed when they heard that.
Of course we have to make it hard for you guys,‘ Chase thought. That’s what makes it fun to watch.
After the folk music track was confirmed, Millie looked at the guests.
