Chapter 269: Chapter 269: The Whole Audience Is Stunned
The first to perform on stage was Nina Quinn’s group.
Nina Quinn looks quite good, and with the stage effects in play, the atmosphere was quickly ignited.
The judges all gave extremely high evaluations.
"I thought Nina’s talent was only in piano, and she’d be just bronze at dancing, but she turned out to be a champion. It’s too amazing. Not giving you a perfect 10 and sending you to the next round would feel like an insult to you."
The next judge also gave a very high score.
She commented further, "Both piano and dance, and still a perfect planner. Nina Quinn, I just want to ask, is there anything you’re not good at?"
The final judge was Holly Houston herself, who naturally gave Nina Quinn a perfect score, and didn’t forget to shower Nina with compliments from all angles.
"Nina, I’ve never been jealous of anyone, but you’re so beautiful and hard-working, I really can’t feel envious of you."
Praised by the judges, standing among other members, Nina Quinn felt that the dance should have been called "Nina Quinn and her dance partners." Her smile couldn’t hide the pride.
She is the chosen one, possessing both talent and beauty, incomparable to anyone.
Not even July Quinn!
After Nina Quinn’s group finished, it was time for Silas Donovan and Ethan Chase’s group.
But because the two had conflicts, their coordination wasn’t perfect, though the visual effects were still quite good.
Thus, with this performance, the judges still gave them three high scores of 9, and didn’t forget to praise them as well.
Next, there were several other groups performing.
To put it this way, the scores weren’t low; the judges spoke comprehensively about each.
Soon, it was time for the last group to perform.
The last group was the one with July Quinn.
Compared to the previous groups, the music of July Quinn’s group was more explosive and exhilarating.
Especially with July Quinn in the dance’s center position, every move was full of power, truly captivating.
Holly Houston, already in a bad mood due to yesterday’s hacker threat, sank further upon seeing July Quinn’s electrifying dance.
Because even Lynn Sawyer, who had practiced dance diligently for half a month, and other contestants were overshadowed by July Quinn’s outstanding performance, relegated to being "July Quinn and her dance partners."
Nina Quinn, who had been almost floating due to the judges’ praises, nearly scratched through the leather part of the chair in anger upon watching this performance.
For under July Quinn’s performance, her commendable effort became merely ordinary.
As soon as July Quinn’s group finished, the audience erupted into the most enthusiastic applause.
Even Silas Donovan, previously cold-shouldered by July Quinn, couldn’t help but marvel, "July Quinn is truly born for this stage, isn’t she?"
Despite the animosity between Ethan Chase and Silas Donovan, they were highly in agreement on this point.
Because July Quinn, as soon as she stepped on stage, shone brightly, with no one able to overshadow her splendor.
However, while the contestants below were filled with envy, jealousy, and admiration for July Quinn, the judges secretly marveled that July Quinn was just an average dancer, quietly discussing with Holly Houston.
"Miss Houston, what do we do now? July Quinn performed so well, do we really have to give her low scores?"
"True, although there isn’t much of an audience today, this still seems a bit..."
But how could Holly Houston willingly let July Quinn shine in her show?
So she immediately retorted, "Of course, we give her low scores. Even if others see it, what does it matter? Anyway, we’ve already had them sign confidentiality agreements."
To diss July Quinn, she had already paid a painful price of 90 million, how could she possibly stop now?
With Holly Houston’s directive, the judges successively gave low scores to July Quinn.
"The final group’s performance was commendable, except for July Quinn. July Quinn, what were you dancing? You couldn’t even perform simple dance moves, truly an insult to the audience’s eyes."
"The group could have scored 10, but because of July Quinn’s exceedingly poor performance, at most I can only give 2 points, no more."
"The other judges said what I wanted to say. July Quinn’s performance was truly terrible, we can’t give your group high scores." Holly Houston also gave 2 points.
This series of scoring left everyone bewildered.
