Versatile Superstar: Rise In Hollywood

For the third round, the official name was ’Judge House ’. It referred to the fact that the show would organise the third-round performance in a judge ’s house.

Though it was called ’Judge House ’, the truth was that the team of X-Star just rented the house. And it didn ’t actually belong to the judges.

During the performance, there would be no live audience. Just the judge who had assigned you the challenge would be there. The other two judges would be in their own assigned houses, looking over the performance of other contestants.

This way, the shooting would go faster.

It took almost three days for Aiden to finish the song. It certainly was the most difficult song to write for him. There were tons of pieces on love or breakup, and many of them would even sometimes sound generic.

But this song was different.

Aiden had put his heart and soul into it, and for the rest of the week, he had practised it day and night, though he had also taken enough breaks not to strain his vocal cords.

Finally, on Sunday, the date of the performance was here.

Sitting in the waiting room in the judge ’s house, he felt a tinge of nervousness. Sighing a little, he wiped the sweat off his brow and tried to control his beating heart.

’If I qualify here, I would go straight to Star week. One step closer to my goal. ’

Aiden certainly didn ’t want to get disqualified, especially after reaching this far. But, if he lost, he would have no choice but to go back to India or struggle more in America.

Not only him, but the other contestant would also not want to lose from here.

”Aiden! ”

He raised his head slowly at the familiar voice. He saw a woman standing there with her long, brown hair tied back in a ponytail. It was Michelle.

Behind her, four more girls were standing.

”Michelle, hi, I didn ’t expect you to be here. ”

After the second round, Michelle hadn ’t been instantly disqualified, and as a lifeline, she was assigned to a group which would act as one contestant.

The girls behind her were her teammates, and the group was called ’Symphony ’.

”We just finished our performance. I think you are next. ”

”Yeah. How did it go? Did you qualify? ” Aiden asked, and by the smile on Michelle ’s face, it didn ’t seem like it went bad.

”It was good. Steven liked it, but we would know the results later. Anyway, I will leave. Good luck with your performance! ”

He nodded as Michelle left with her group. Going by her special skill, Aiden was sure that she would do well in the group. After all, her voice suited being in harmony. It was a natural talent.

’Ah, I need to qualify no matter what. ’

Thinking about that, he stood up from his seat and picked up his guitar. It was now his turn to perform in front of Steven.
