Although she didn’t know why the judge would ask such a question, Jiang Yu still answered very politely, “Yes.”
The judge was still reluctant to leave and asked, “Then what do you think of your strength?”
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, “My strength… is probably average.”
The judge seemed to want to say something else, but was stopped by Carl who was beside him and whispered, “Shh. Listen carefully. Jiang Yu’s strength will surprise you.”
Only then did the judge give up. He wanted to see what kind of extraordinary strength Jiang Yu had to make Carl praise her like that.
Jiang Yu bowed politely and sat in front of the piano. After taking a few deep breaths, she began to play.
“Bang Bang!” Jiang Yu’s left hand knocked a few keys on the piano, making a deafening sound.
Then, her right hand tapped a few more keys on the piano, producing a crisp sound.
No one understood what Jiang Yu was up to. Even Carl could not figure out what Jiang Yu was thinking.
After the two pieces of music ended, Jiang Yu stopped. Everyone thought that she had finished playing.
Just as Carl could not help but want to ask her what was going on, Jiang Yu suddenly started playing again.
The heavy and high-pitched voice was followed by a clear and melodious voice. When the two completely different voices mixed together, there was actually a different kind of beauty.
It was as if youth should be like this. Sometimes it was loud and loud, sometimes it was elegant and melodious. This seemed to be the appearance of everyone’s youth.
Carl finally understood the meaning of the song Jiang Yu was playing. The other judges were gradually brought into the mood and gradually understood the deep meaning behind the song.
After the song ended, Jiang Yu stood up and bowed. “Thank you, everyone. I hope that everyone will like this song.”
Carl stopped Jiang Yu and said, “Jiang Yu, this song of yours is very nice.”
Jiang Yu smiled and replied, “Thank you, Professor Carl.”
The judge who had doubted Jiang Yu’s ability earlier blushed and could not help but praise, “Jiang Yu, I have underestimated your ability. Your self-taught piano ability is even better than some professional students.”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Thank you, Professor.”
The people below the stage were in an uproar. They felt that Jiang Yu would definitely be promoted. After all, there was no contestant who could be praised by the two judges in front of everyone. Only Jiang Yu.
Moreover, she was self-taught. Compared to the others, this was actually not a disadvantage but an advantage.
When the people behind Jiang Yu saw this scene, they also planned to play like Jiang Yu.
However, her method and melody were too difficult to imitate. No one dared to say that they would be able to play a melody that was similar to Jiang Yu’s after they went on stage.
Therefore, after thinking about it, they decided to follow Kana’s routine. At least her method and melody were easy to imitate, while Jiang Yu’s was too difficult.
However, after listening to this kind of melody for too long, the judges and the audience were a little tired. Not only did they not feel their eyes brighten, they even felt that it was very unpleasant to listen to.
Therefore, until the end, the judges were no longer willing to listen to the music played by the contestants. They simply wrote down a score on the paper and began to close their eyes to rest.
After the last contestant finished playing, the counter began to calculate the scores of each person. The last five people were still going to be eliminated.
Among the five people who were eliminated, two of them were students from Ivy University — Lin Bei and Wang Qing.
Wang Qing couldn’t believe that she would be eliminated, but Jiang Yu had successfully advanced and was praised by the two judges.
“This is impossible!” Wang Qing muttered to herself in disbelief, “How could Jiang Yu and Jiang Yu advance? !”
Lin Bei couldn’t understand it either, but she knew that with her strength, even if she advanced, it was impossible for her to get first place. So whether Jiang Yu advanced successfully or not, this matter did not affect her at all.
But she really did not understand. How could Jiang Yu have advanced?
