Chapter 1040
The show’s production team had filmed Tom sobbing backstage and they quickly posted the video clip online. This video quickly had millions of views.
Initially, online comments lambasted Tom for his perceived arrogance.
The fact that he was almost eliminated at the auditions meant that Internet users now saw him not only as someone arrogant, but above all self-righteous and proud after having achieved a certain success.
However, after seeing the raw video of him crying, most of the comments shifted from lambasting to sympathy. Netizens flooded the comment section in droves, commiserating with Tom and comforting him.
Tom was already known as handsome, but seeing him burst into tears backstage had revealed a more vulnerable side of him. Internet users were struck by this contrast between his confident personality on stage and his emotional moment off camera. Very quickly, there were compilations posted showing him on stage and behind the scenes. These edited videos went viral and attracted a wave of new fans.
Online comments about the show grew more impassioned.
“That judge, Sadie, it’s clear she knows nothing about good music.” “Just because she’s rich doesn’t mean she can judge talent!”
“Why is such a talentless woman even on the judging panel?”
“Who the hell does she think she is to undermine a legend like Julio’
“It is obvious she deliberately gave Ariana’s team low scores to sabotage their chances of moving to the next stage of the competition.
That's so shameful!”
Netizens had a good opinion of Ariana’s team, and the comments showed no signs of slowing down. Ariana’s team was now the most talked-about group on the show.
On the other side, Ariana set her phone aside, still apprehensive about her team’s next performance.
She could feel Sadie’s thinly veiled hostility directed specifically at her. This bad score was clearly intended to harm her. Ariana suspected that Sadie would find an excuse to stay on as judge unless her team was eliminated.
As Holden Frederick’s fiancée, Sadie had a lot of influence. The show producers wouldn't dare to offend her or reject her demands.
Ariana’s team’s only hope was to get enough votes in the online voting to make up for Sadie’s skewed score. Otherwise, it was almost guaranteed that they would be eliminated.
The thought alone made Ariana so anxious her stomach churned.
Meanwhile, her phone wouldn’t stop vibrating as the group chat with her friends was flooded with messages. Sarah was furious and didn’t hide her frustration.
“That tone-deaf dimwit wouldn’t know good music if it was played right in front of her plastic face!”
“Is she deranged? Who allowed this talentless hack to judge others?
Does she think we're all idiots?”
“No skills, no credentials, just a shrill harpy spewing garbage.”
