“Xiao Jingyu, let's record a duet version later to satisfy the expectations of the audience and netizens.”
As Wu Anjun's voice came out, the barrage once again boiled.
The live audience was even more excited beyond words.
“It's my honor!” Xiao Jingyu bowed in thanks, her mood at this moment was indescribably wonderful.
After Xiao Jingyu left the stage amidst applause, the voting segment for this episode also began.
When all the singers gathered in the common area, host Ni Hao once again took the broadcast card and went on stage.
The broadcast for "Who is the Singer" was getting longer and longer, but no one had any complaints about it.
They had provided such a high-level, high-class singing competition stage, so shouldn't they be allowed to make some money?
After the broadcast advertisement, Ni Hao opened tonight's ranking results and announced them directly.
There was no suspense for the seventh place in this round; it was the male replacement singer who performed sixth.
As for sixth place? That left countless viewers conflicted.
Because according to custom, it should have been "Luren Jia," who was also a replacement contestant.
However, Luren Jia's "guest" tonight was really sung too well, too tear-jerking, and the audience was not sure if he would be eliminated and unmasked.
“The sixth place in this round is! Robot teacher!” The moment Ni Hao's voice came out, the barrage fell silent.
One must know that Robot was a "The King of Singers"! It was unexpected that after persisting for several episodes, it still couldn't maintain its reputation in its later stages.
It was unmasked in the eighth episode, the night before the comeback round!
However, if one doesn't consider strength and status, Luren Jia's performance this round was clearly more outstanding, so in the face of this result, no one really felt there was any foul play.
Robot in the common area shrugged, and even hugged Luren Jia.
Apparently, he should have been mentally prepared for this before.
“Fifth place in this round! Big White Goose teacher!”
Well, when the fifth place was announced, the audience also let out a sigh of emotion.
It seemed they had underestimated Luren Jia's ranking!
Because he wasn't fifth place?
“Fourth place in this round! Congratulations to singer Qingtian!”
When Qingtian's fourth-place ranking was announced, netizens, on the contrary, became cheerful.
“Holy cow, looking at this situation, quite a few people on site have attended their ex's wedding!”
“Yeah! Why is it that I suddenly feel a strange mix of sympathy and a desire to laugh?”
“I feel it's quite real, because the memory point is too profound!”
“If I were there, I would also vote for Luren Jia! Don't ask why!”
The barrage roared, showing no dissatisfaction with such a result; instead, more and more netizens supporting Luren Jia appeared.
“The third place in this round received an incredibly high vote count of 912 votes, and he is Luren Jia! Congratulations, Luren Jia!”
With Ni Hao's announcement of the third place, Luren Jia's name finally appeared.
Although he couldn't enter the top two, 912 votes was still quite terrifying.
Moreover, Luren Jia was the first contestant to perform in this episode!
“The second place in this round received 930 votes, which is also very terrifying, and she is Tianhou Nala! Congratulations!”
As expected, even after performing "That Woman," the hit song Lin Feng wrote for her, Na La was still firmly held in second place by Xiao Jingyu!
“The first place in this round is undoubtedly our teacher Xiao Jingyu, who received 990 votes this round! Breaking teacher Wu Anjun's previous highest vote record, congratulations teacher Xiao Jingyu!”
As Ni Hao very solemnly announced the first place winner, there was a moment of silence on the scene, followed by applause and screams like a mountain collapse and a tsunami.
No one had expected that Xiao Jingyu not only won this round but also surpassed the record for the highest number of votes.
Isn't that too shocking?
Xiao Jingyu in the common area was also a bit stunned until Qingtian hugged her, and she came back to her senses.
And the intimate actions of Qingtian and Xiao Jingyu also made netizens extremely curious.
They clearly knew each other, and should be very familiar! Otherwise, how could this be?
However, the camera had already shifted to Robot and the male replacement singer heading to the unmasking area.
When the male replacement singer was unmasked, the scene was not overly excited, as this veteran first-tier male singer had recently been frequently appearing in various variety shows to earn money, and the audience was very familiar with him.
However, when Robot was unmasked, the scene and the barrage immediately exploded.
“Holy cow! It's Yang Yi from Cool Fire Combination? Is his singing skill that good?”
“So he always had the strength of a "The King of Singers"; I'm so surprised, I almost didn't recognize him!”
“Damn, Yang Yi is Robot, then Big White Goose wouldn't be Zeng Lingling, would it?”
“It's confirmed! It must be them! I'm going crazy! The General Director's move is too cunning, he actually split the combination!”
Yang Yi smiled awkwardly after being unmasked, not knowing what to say.
He had thought that with his own strength, he would at least be able to enter the comeback round masked, but he was still unmasked today.
“Let's first congratulate teacher Xiao Jingyu for advancing to the semifinals!” General Director Qian Jin's voice came from the common area.
The first eight elimination rounds had ended, and the next two episodes would be the comeback rounds, so he naturally had to announce the rules at this time.
“In the ninth and tenth comeback rounds, all previously eliminated or non-initial singers will draw lots and appear in two episodes. After two episodes, the top six singers by vote count will qualify for the semifinals!”
Qian Jin actually wasn't worried about the ratings for the ninth and tenth episodes; although Xiao Jingyu had advanced, weren't Luren Jia and Qingtian still there?
Moreover, he had already received accurate news that Peacock Fairy would also return for the comeback round!
At that time, the two-week comeback round would undoubtedly be a fierce battle!
Also, those who were eliminated before, such as Wang Shan and Xie Jie, would also return, so there was no lack of star power and 話題度.
He only needed to consider how to distribute these people evenly across the two episodes to make both episodes appear equally matched.
What Qian Jin didn't know was that Su Yu had already decided to have Peacock Fairy, Xie Jie, Luren Jia, and Qingtian all sing his new songs during the comeback round.
For the six semifinal spots, Su Yu himself wasn't greedy; getting four would be enough.
As for Tianhou Nala's dream of first place? Peacock Fairy was back, so the dream should wake up.
And the ratings for the eighth episode of "Who is the Singer" also came out after the live broadcast.
Tonight's peak viewership appeared during Xiao Jingyu's final performance, reaching a terrifying 6.512!
Xiao Jingyu not only broke Wu Anjun's record in total votes this round but also surpassed him in peak viewership.
And the average viewership for this round also broke 6 for the first time!
Although it was only 6.002! But an average viewership breaking 6 was already a miracle in the variety show industry in recent years.
Therefore, there was no need to wait until the finals; at this point, "Who is the Singer" had already become the number one rated variety show of the year!
This scene truly left people from other satellite TV stations dumbfounded.
With such a clear lead in ratings, how were they going to compete? How were they going to catch up?
After leaving Jinling TV, Su Yu sent a message in the group chat with Xue Qing and Bi Huo.
