Siu Lan took a glance at Feng Xiao Qing and smiled softly to her. It was the first time she had smiled like that and honestly? Feng Xiao Qing shuddered when she looked at Siu Lan. After glancing for a little while, Siu Lan turned to Young Master Qin and offered herself to be the first. She said shyly, "I"m worried about Xiao Qing Mei Mei"s condition, let me be the one who starts the compet.i.tion. At least... she can rest a little bit more.""What a joke!" Siu Lan thought to herself. If Feng Xiao Qing directly raised a white flag before the compet.i.tion had started, wouldn"t it mean there was no chance for her to show off here? What about her plan to seduce both of the judges? It would fail ah~! That was why she took the chance to be the first one who sang and danced.
Feng Xiao Qing looked at her while gaping. This woman was truly shameless ah~! This was the first time she heard Siu Lan call her Mei Mei with such a kind voice, and she could only shudder in disgust when she heard that.
"Mei Mei? Ew!" Feng Xiao Qing cringed inwardly. Siu Lan"s words made her feel bugs were crawling all over her body!
Zi Hao almost laughed out loud when he looked at Feng Xiao Qing"s flabbergasted and disgusted expression. Although Feng Xiao Qing was able to cover it up well, he could see it. He understood her feelings, after all, he saw how Siu Lan acted like a shrewd back then. Not only Zi Hao, but almost everyone in the room was quite surprised by her performance. If they didn"t know better, they would certainly believe in her act.
"Is it really Siu Lan?!" They all had the same thought.
Qi Qiang asked Feng Xiao Qing, "Do you mind?"
Feng Xiao Qing shook her head and answered, "No..." Feng Xiao Qing felt that it was better this way. Let her enjoy herself and become careless! Then, they would see who would get the last laugh! Feng Xiao Qing could see from Siu Lan"s att.i.tude that she was underestimating her.
Feng Xiao Qing decided to add, "Thank you!" After all, she should be grateful that Siu Lan was digging her own grave, right?
Qi Qiang nodded his head and he was going to let Siu Lan begin when Zi Hao cut him off. Zi Hao rolled his eyes in disdain because he knew that Qi Qiang had never become a judge, so he didn"t really know the rules. He wondered how he wanted to judge when they didn"t have specific criteria.
Fortunately, he had already prepared everything beforehand.
Zi Hao gave a signal to his manager and the latter quickly brought out two pieces of papers --- one for Zi Hao and one for Qi Qiang. It was the judging sheet with complete criteria to be paid attention to.
Zi Hao gave an explanation to Feng Xiao Qing and Siu Lan about the judgment process and both of them nodded in agreement. Zi Hao told them the judging criteria:
Voice quality (tonality, appropriateness to the genre, & technique) --------- 50%
Style and Performance (rendition qualities, discipline, timing and precision, ch.o.r.eography, delivery & interpretation, appropriateness of staging of the song selected ) ---------- 30%
Over-all Appeal(stage appeal, audience impact, & costume ) ---------- 20%
When Zi Hao explained everything, it was not only for the partic.i.p.ants but also for Qi Qiang. Okay... it was especially for Qi Qiang... After all, he wanted the latter to judge this matter seriously ah~!
Siu Lan had prepared everything, so once Zi Hao stopped talking, she already stood in the middle of the room proudly. She stood leisure while flicking her finger. When one of her sidekicks got the hint, the sidekick quickly turned on the music. Everyone knew what song it was when the music started --- it was one-time popularity for the original singer, but still, this song made into the all-time favorite list of s.e.xiest songs.
Siu Lan chose "Me & U" by Ca.s.sie and she used the same prop just like the original singers --- she wore a black hoodie jacket with white jogger pants. It was a simple outfit, but still, it was able to make her look cool.
She danced s.e.xily along with the beat and the woman was really into the movement. The song didn"t have any specific high note and it was quite a weird song to choose --- after all, people usually chose a song that could show off her vocal range when joining a compet.i.tion.
When the people saw her movement, they realized that Siu Lan was emphasizing her movement rather than the singing part.
For those who knew, they didn"t feel surprised at all. Siu Lan"s technique was pretty good but her vocal range wasn"t that high. That was why she was prepared to debut as a group --- she would be the one who sang the low note and once in a while, the rap part.
You"ve been waiting so long
I"m here to answer your call
I know that I shouldn"t have had you waiting at all
I"ve been so busy, but I"ve been thinking about
What I wanna do with you
When she started singing, she opened her hoodie zipper and showed off her flat stomach and alluring bust. As a trainee, she always maintained the curve of her body and apparently, Siu Lan was proud of it.
Not only that, she only wore a black lace bra underneath the hoodie. So once the hoodie was opened, she looked so s.e.xy with the bra on. She didn"t forget to dance s.e.xily along with the beat and she emphasized on her abs and hips movement --- which would make men drool over her.
Feng Xiao Qing took a peek at the judges" expression, but they looked so serene. It seemed like Siu Lan"s charm didn"t really work on them. However, Feng Xiao Qing had to admit... Siu Lan was really good at dancing ... her stage appeal was top notch.
Next was the pre-chorus...
I know them other guys, they been talking "bout
The way I do what I do
They heard I was good, they wanna see if it"s true
They know you"re the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too
Now, it"s me and you
When she sang the pre-chorus part, she directly threw away the hoddie and dance only with her black lace bra and white jogger pants. If Siu Lan didn"t have any ulterior motive, then the people would think of this as an art. However... judging from the way she looked at Zi Hao and Young Master Qin seductively... she had another agenda, making the people around her shudder.
Although they admitted that she was talented, still... women realized her motives really well. Siu Lan"s eyes were smoldering hot and her gaze never left the judges.
They knew the music video of this song and the original singer looked so cool and s.e.xy with her get-up and dance moves. It was a bit different from how Siu Lan perceived the song.
At one of the lyric"s line --- "they know you"re the one I wanna give to", she pretended to make a gesture by pointing at the judges" direction. She even used the Korean singers" popular heart movement while winking and acting cute in between her dance. Feng Xiao Qing was quite amazed by her blatant seduction --- it seemed like she could learn this to tease Lu Yi Feng ah~!
When the chorus came, she danced with a cool ch.o.r.eography though...
It"s me and you, now
Uh, I"ve been waiting (Waiting)
Think I wanna make that move, now
Baby, tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it)
It"s me and you, now
Uh, I"ve been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now
Baby, tell me how you like it
When it reached the second verse, she danced using a chair as a medium and her techniques made them feel in awe. She could twirl around while shaking her booties and she didn"t even fall down.
Siu Lan already prepared a table beside the chair and after finis.h.i.+ng her chair dance, she continued to dance on the table when it reached the next pre-chorus. She crawled slowly while her eyes were s.e.xily enchanting her surroundings.
Fortunately, Siu Lan had prepared another table and not jumped directly to the judges" table ah~! Otherwise, people could mistake her as a stripper.
Siu Lan did the cat position while shaking her hips and moved her stomach in circles, enticing the man. She didn"t forget to push her bust up once in a while and she cleverly made it not to look so s.l.u.tty. Feng Xiao Qing felt lucky that she didn"t underestimate Siu Lan, otherwise, she would probably lose.
It was a quite hard thing to do and it made some people gasped in surprise at how flexible Siu Lan"s body was. It was no surprise for those who knew Siu Lan --- after all, she had been learning ballet and gymnastics since she was four.
All in all, her dance was great! However, her song choice wasn"t really suitable for compet.i.tion because the song"s tune was quite flat --- there were no high notes at all. This song would be good for a concert, but even then, it wouldn"t be too stand out.
Siu Lan scored pretty high at the style and performance, also the overall appeal. She smiled happily when she ended her performance because she felt that she had performed better than the practice.
