Chapter 463

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

Lin Yu bowed, as if performing a final curtain call.

"Li Hao."

"Li Hao?"

"Get on stage."

This mesmerizing scene made the host, Li Hao, forget to go on stage; it took several calls from the floor director before he snapped out of it.

"Thank you to the contestant Tropical Rainforest for the wonderful performance."

"Let’s give him another round of applause."

"......"

"Next, please vote for the contestant Tropical Rainforest."

Li Hao felt this process was somewhat redundant; never mind the audience, if he had his phone right now, he would cast his vote for Lin Yu too.

However, at this moment, voices of doubt arose from the audience.

"Lip-syncing!"

"This is clearly lip-syncing, everyone don't vote for him."

"As far as I know, there is no singer in our Chinese music scene this damn good."

"Although it sounds harsh, it’s the truth. To sing such high notes live, it must be lip-syncing."

"......."

Tropical Rainforest’s haters and the fans of other contestants, seeing Lin Yu’s performance being so heaven-defying, immediately voiced inflammatory doubts.

Lip-syncing!?

Upon hearing this doubt, not only the audience at the venue but also the guessing panel and the contestants backstage felt suspicious.

Because the red sofa of the guessing panel was not very close to the stage, everyone’s focus was on the vocal range and lyrics when Lin Yu was singing.

They really hadn't paid close attention to that point.

Given the status of the guests on the show, no one present raised an objection.

But no one voiced support either.

"Impossible."

Zhou Shen heard the controversial discussions from the audience and was the first to speak out in denial.

If it were someone else, Zhou Shen certainly wouldn't have stepped forward.

But knowing the singer on stage was Lin Yu, he absolutely could not remain silent.

"Shen Shen, don't get excited."

"Singing an original in the finals is already very impressive."

"Is it possible it's a half-track?"

Deng Deng Ziqi was also shocked to see Zhou Shen’s action.

Based on her understanding of Zhou Shen, he would never take the initiative to step forward on such an occasion.

"Deng Ziqi, you are also a professional singer. Can't you tell if it's a half-track or not?"

Zhou Shen retorted in a rare show of confrontation.

This made the atmosphere of the entire guessing panel stiffen.

Facing the controversy from the audience.

The floor director also couldn't be sure if Lin Yu was singing for real.

"Clap."

Seeing the assistant director not speaking, the general director, Che Ze, angrily smashed a folder down.

"We don't have an external band or sound system, where would he lip-sync from? Are you out of your minds?"

"Hurry up and control the scene."

"This is a damn live broadcast!"

Facing Che Ze’s reprimand, the assistant director immediately signaled the host, Li Hao, to change the subject.

However, the media judging panel in the audience was not happy.

"I am a representative from Kugou Music. Can you explain the lip-syncing matter? Changing the subject like this isn't right."

"Exactly! We are representatives from NetEase Cloud. There were rumors before that there were inside dealings in 'Masked Singer.' Could this be a complete scam, just to force-feed this singer to us?"

"Yes! There is clearly a dark curtain here. Do you think we are easy to fool? This song is an original, and he performed this well on his first time on stage? Who believes that! We are representatives from QQ Music."

"......"

The media judging panel hoped the matter would blow up; they all had interest groups behind them and their own music variety shows. They wanted to use this incident to take this show down and create buzz for other programs.

"Damn it."

Hearing the words of the media judging panel, general director Che Ze cursed.

These bastards, they are everywhere.

"Lin Yu, ignore them. We will issue an official statement later to explain for you."

Che Ze said indignantly into the headset.

"Director Che, I can prove it myself."

Lin Yu’s lips curled up.

He saw the interests and grudges involved clearly.

Although they were all brother television stations, it was full of schemes and ambushes everywhere.

If the official side spoke later, it would be hard to avoid suspicion. Even if he won the championship in the end, it would lack persuasiveness and value.

Therefore, he had to prove it himself!

After receiving the instruction,

Li Hao looked at Lin Yu and gave a secret thumbs up.

"Audience friends, please be quiet. Facing everyone’s doubts, the contestant Tropical Rainforest has decided to sing a cappella to prove his innocence."

After Li Hao finished this sentence,

The production team immediately brought over dozens of pairs of headphones and walked toward the media judging panel and the audience seats.

And distributed them.

"These headphones are connected to the microphone."

"Everyone put them on, and you can hear the contestant’s real voice."

Upon hearing the staff’s introduction,

The audience and the media panel exclaimed that it was professional.

This method of self-proof was quite scientific.

"Please put on your headphones."

"Yes, wear them tightly."

"I’m starting."

Lin Yu smiled faintly.

He picked up the microphone and, without a trace, removed his in-ear monitor.

He thought to himself, this is what you wanted to hear, don't blame me.

"Opera 2."

"For everyone."

Lin Yu’s lips curled slightly as he said leisurely.

Suddenly, beautiful Russian singing rang out through the venue.

That graceful voice instantly left the entire audience stunned.

"Wow! It’s so good to listen to. Even a cappella, it’s actually this melodious. It’s simply amazing."

"Did Tropical Rainforest study in Russia? This Russian pronunciation is too standard."

"See that? That’s real skill. Lip-syncing? Are you guys just jealous?"

And the media judging panel and hater representatives wearing headphones were even more shocked...

After putting on the headphones, Lin Yu’s voice was clearer and more thorough; the penetrating power even made their whole bodies feel numb.
