She's good but lacks the professionalism, doesn't she?"
"Dreamer, do you really think you can compete with Krista, a professional singer, just because you won against Bluebell, an amateur?"
Krista held a disdainful attitude toward Lilah, but recognizing it as an opportunity to bolster her popularity, she maintained a smile.
“Okay, how would you like to play? Why don't we start with something simple, like comparing our pitch?" she suggested.
“No problem," Lilah agreed.
“What song would you like to sing? Or should we choose randomly?"
Krista inquired.
“Random. "
They let the system randomly select a song, and to everyone's surprise, the song assigned to them was Krista's recent release.
The sarcasm in the comments grew more pronounced.
“Lilah is in for trouble this time. She's so unlucky, getting stuck with Krista's new song."
"If I were Lilah, I'd surrender outright, sparing myself from embarrassment in front of everyone."
"It's so embarrassing. I'm cringing for her."
Maintaining a smile, Krista suggested, "I didn't anticipate drawing my own song. How about we adjust the pitch, raising or lowering it by a tone to level the playing field for you?"
“Let's raise it by four notes," Lilah proposed confidently.
Krista was shocked, wondering if Lilah could manage such a high note.
A hint of nervousness even crept into Krista's own demeanor.
But she reassured herself, considering her professional status against Lilah's amateur standing. She presumed Lilah might not even comprehend the challenge of raising the pitch by four degrees.
Brimming with confidence, Krista eagerly awaited what she believed would be Lilah's embarrassment.
With mutual agreement, the music commenced, filling the live stream with beautiful melodies as both singers began almost simultaneously.
Lilah had heard the song before and held a liking for it. However, the melody sounded slightly off, given Krista wasn't a soprano.
In Lilah's belief, the song would have been more remarkable had it been sung at a higher pitch.
No one had anticipated Lilah singing it well. To everyone's shock, as soon as she began, her crisp and pleasant voice resembled that of a songbird, silencing the viewers for a prolonged moment.
Krista, while singing, could only hear her own voice. Although she found it challenging to hit the higher notes, she felt her performance was flawless. So far, the intonation seemed to have reached 98%.
