Start with hooves

The black guy next to me never recognized Suri.

He was still chattering until he went on stage. When he was called away by his assistant, he beat his chest with his fist and told:
"Man, I think you are a good person. When I am selected by my mentor later and become a global superstar, I will definitely hold a party and treat you to drinks. How about we connect on Facebook? My name is George Okocha. I have enough Twenty thousand fans, people know me everywhere in Atlanta, you will be my first Asian friend.”

Just like the people you meet while traveling, no matter how interesting they are and how you talk about everything, they will always become strangers when you return to real life.

Suri just turned a deaf ear to the black man Okocha's assurance, going in one ear and out the other, and didn't take it to heart at all.

In his opinion.

Although the other party's character is somewhat interesting, he is open-minded and carefree, which would be a disaster in the entertainment industry.

Don’t think that being a star doesn’t require you to use your brain. Like Megan Fox, her emotional intelligence is not high and she misses a few words during interviews in public. As a result, she fails to recover. Although she makes a lot of money, it is difficult to get it. Top notch role.

It wasn't until Suri invited her to act in "Pink Club" that she ushered in a second career in her career with her sexy and sultry street female role.

now.

Suri sat calmly and said to the black man named George Okocha: "Let's talk about it after we get off the stage. My mobile phone was taken away by the security guard. I hope you can perform well."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. I don't have my mobile phone with me either. You can just search for my name..."

As George Okocha came on stage, another red-haired girl who looked to be in her teens and had scars on her face was also asked by her assistant to prepare in advance.

It can be seen that the contestants at the scene are very nervous, with the exception of Suri.

After all, this blind audition event may very well determine whether their fate can change in the second half of their lives.

Some of the contestants who stood out last season have recorded albums and become singers, and even started holding concerts and autograph signings. Even some contestants who were eliminated early have also received good job opportunities, such as singing in large bars. Attend some music festivals and the like.

In addition, the girl who was attracted by Suri and invited to be an actress because of her beauty has already appeared in dramas such as "Gossip Girl" and "Holy Grail", playing the role of a poor girl from a prestigious private school who was bullied. There is also the cursed rich daughter, which left a deep impression on the audience.

Suri's wealth is just an exception. Ordinary people can be considered successful if they earn tens or even millions of dollars, and can achieve a huge leap in material life.

It sounds like they are all contestants, but the number of mentors is limited, and they are all competitors.

There is only one winner in each season of "The Voice". This rule destined the contestants to compete with each other, so after the black guy left, no one talked to Suri anymore.

There is a large screen in the background that plays the content on the stage in real time.

I could see that after George Okocha came on stage, he was like a bastard who had shrunk into his shell. He immediately lost his careless attitude and stood on the stage in a dignified manner, with nervousness written all over his face.

Fortunately, his job was to perform on the street every day and earn some pocket money through singing. He had rich performance experience, so after taking a few deep breaths, he simply adjusted his mentality and started singing... "Memories" by Suri.

Suri was confused when she heard the song, mainly because the soundtrack had been changed and it sounded weird.

As the mentor, "Kanye" Kanye West just started filming today and has not had a chance to show his face yet, and no members have been recruited from the team.

George Okocha has a special voice, and you can tell he is black as soon as you hear it. Kanye braced himself and paid careful attention, and already put his hand above the seat button.

In order to avoid being targeted, Hollywood film and television companies have a tradition of specializing in taking care of ethnic minorities. It is impossible to select all white people, or only men and women, to avoid causing big problems. Of course.

In this era, only ethnic minorities are taken care of. There are relatively few black faces in "Breaking Bad", "House of Cards" and "Gossip Girl".

Letting a black actress play the role of a mermaid, or hiring a black person to play Snow White or Founding Father Washington are obviously bizarre incidents caused by excessive pursuit of correctness.

Therefore, although the program team takes care of ethnic minorities, the performance mainly depends on the strength of the contestants. In the first season of "The Voice", only one Chinese-American entered the team competition, and was eventually ruthlessly eliminated. In the top 16.

pity.

Until the end of the allotted time, not a single mentor turned around for George Okocha.

After turning the seat back, Kanye saw this guy and said straight to the point:
"To be honest, your singing skills are very good and the rhythm is relatively perfect, but the song you adapted lacks the taste of the original song. You should not choose to sing Suri's song. His song is too popular. Small changes will make people feel strange, and you are too pursuing a song that is like his and lacks some of your own characteristics. This is why I haven’t turned around.”

Avril Lavigne told:
"I would like to choose you, but your singing voice is not in line with my team. It will be difficult to give you other advice later..."

George Okocha could only think that he was finished, and was not in the mood to listen to what they had to say. He waved his hand, forced a smile, and walked absentmindedly to the audience.

Also feeling doomed was Suri, who was about to sing her own song.

He is worried that several mentors will use "too much pursuit of imitation and lack of their own characteristics" as an excuse to exclude himself. Then he will have a headache and will be laughed at by many netizens.

The pace of the blind audition is quite fast, one person can sit alone for several minutes.

After the red-haired girl finished singing, Suri, who was recruited by Britney Spears and wore a mask, also appeared on the stage. The song he chose to sing was "Shots".

The audience in the audience whispered to each other, wondering why the contestants on the stage were masked.

Suri didn't care so much. He held the microphone and followed the rhythm and sang:
"Have I been numb for a long time?
Am I incompatible with this world?
When I keep saying that I want to find a quiet place for myself
And I long for your company."

The four instructors initially felt that the reaction of the audience seemed a bit strange.

When the song started, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears and others were stunned, thinking that the contestant's voice sounded very familiar.

If they didn't think he wouldn't appear on the stage, they even thought that the original singer of this song, Suri, was really here.

Half a minute passed quietly, and finally it was Adam Levine, the lead singer of Magic Red, who was the first to be convinced of his idea and suddenly pressed the button at hand.

As the chair turns towards the stage.

Adam Levine was confused by Suri's appearance and was a little confused for a moment whether it was him. After all, "Shots" is not Suri's most representative song, and people don't know it well enough.

If you switch to songs such as "The Phoenix", "Despacito", and "Natural", the difference will be clear at a glance.

Until the allotted time was about to end, Avril also turned her chair around with the idea of ​​​​taking a gamble.

Likewise, she was also curious, with puzzled eyes (End of Chapter)
