America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 253 252. Is this show about the contestants or the mentors?
ah.
As the opening show ended and the camera was shown to the audience, everyone was in high spirits.

Can you not enjoy watching the performances of four superstars for free?

Even though I re-recorded it many times during the process, it was still so enjoyable.

Especially the performance of the Maikou brother and sister's dance battle is so shocking that it will definitely become a classic scene in the history of performances.

While waving to the audience and walking to their respective seats, James Corden began to introduce the rules.

"Thank you to the four instructors for the wonderful performance."

"Next, they will conduct a blind audition, with all members turning their backs to the contestants, and only listening to the voices to judge whether they recognize the other's singing skills."

“You can’t see the contestants’ clothing and appearance, and even their age cannot affect the judges’ judgment.”

"If more than one mentor selects a player, the right to choose will be transferred to the player."

"In the blind selection stage, the instructor will select 8 players from all the contestants to form their own team. This process is by no means simple."

This scene had the effect of a sitcom, which immediately made many viewers in front of the screen laugh.

"I really want to play sports with everyone and play baseball and football together, but I don't have the athletic ability."

When the chair turned around, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled again.

Bang!
As a result, as soon as she positioned herself, Jenny took the photo, leaving Celine Dion dumbfounded, like a Smurf.

The screen switched to the players, and a handsome young man wearing a hat walked over. He was nearly 190cm tall and looked sunny and strong.

"Come on, boy!"

The parents looked at the screen excitedly and murmured: "One more! One more!"

"Look at them, look at these girls, their expressions say it all, he's definitely a handsome guy."

"Why? How do you know?" Maikou asked curiously.

At this time, the camera showed a close-up of Celine Dion. With a smile on her face, she turned to look at Maidan next to her.

"Hahaha, if I succeed, those who have laughed at me will drool with envy. This is the greatest opportunity in my life."

She was keenly aware that something interesting would happen next, and her originally unfocused eyes became focused.

Celine Dion was about to ask Jenny if she was causing trouble on purpose, but Jayz had already looked at her with a frightened expression.

Otherwise, Jayz's status as a celebrity is actually not worthy of the other three. His total record sales are less than 1 million. How does he compare with these three who have at least million?
Please Puff Diddy would be more consistent than he is.

"Hello everyone, my name is Perlix Thomas. I am 20 years old and I am from Nashville, Tennessee."

"Sidi, you can't do this to me!"

In terms of performance, he has the natural comedy of old black people. Eric took this into consideration when he chose him as his mentor, so that he can create a variety show effect.

He said while imitating Celine Dion's gesture just now.

At this time, the singing reached its second climax and was about to end. When it was discovered that Jenny still hadn't taken the shot, Celine Dion was relieved and sat up straight in her seat.

Celine Dion's hand was already on the red button, ready to go. Backstage, James Corden looked at the contestant's parents: "Look, I said he can definitely do it."

"McKun, I'm sure this player must be a handsome guy."

"OK! Let's welcome the first contestant to the stage!"

Many people think Jayz is just a rapper, but in fact he has also participated in several comedy movies.

The queen of sketches couldn't help but change her expression, and kept changing gestures with her hands like a witch, signaling Jenny not to shoot.

Bang!
When Thomas's singing reached the climax of the transition, there was a muffled sound, and Celine Dion decisively pressed the button.

"Please remember that this is a pure music competition, and those who can win can only rely on their own solid abilities."

Many viewers immediately applauded, and Thomas' parents jumped up excitedly and hugged James Corden.

Jayz chuckled and said in a helpless and mocking tone: "Woman"

On the stage, the melodious prelude sounded, and Perix began to sing.

"Of course, I'm ready for millions of people to hear my song."

Although the instructors couldn't see him, the audience could see him clearly. When they discovered that a 190-year-old boy actually sang a country-style song, many people suddenly showed expressions of astonishment.

James Corden: "Hi Thomas, you look great."

Thomas's performance ended, and he finally won the favor of the two mentors, and the chairs of McQueen and Jayz also turned around.

"Then you should relax a little bit, because I think you will definitely be chosen. It's not too late to be excited then."

“Until I found what I loved, which was singing.”

"You see I am so tall now, but I was bullied all the time when I was a child because I was a complete nerd at that time."

Jayz, who was stuck between the two of them, leaned back quickly.

"That this might really be the real end"

"Yeah, everything's fine, just very exciting."

As the singing continued, Celine Dion suddenly turned her head to look at Jenny, and saw that she also put her hand on the red button.

After the rules were introduced, many viewers suddenly felt a little different, especially the rule about transferring the right of choice to the players, which seemed very interesting and interesting.

"I'm a black man, and your gesture reminds me of the past, when I was a devout voodoo practitioner. This will give me nightmares at night!"

He spoke in a somewhat comical movie style, and his strange and suddenly raised accent immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter.

In a family on Long Island, New York, three brothers and a sister were gathered in front of the computer to watch "The Voice."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"OMG! Mike, Jayz is so funny, why didn't anyone tell me he was so funny!"

The eldest son shrugged: "I've told you about Carol a long time ago, but you only read and study every day, and you never listen to me."

The younger son also added: "You're right, but your favorite Celine Dion is also good, and her comedy talent is also great."

"Of course Benny, if you've seen Celine Dion's previous interviews, you know she's a very funny singer."

"Hey! Who wants some cookies? I just baked them? Wait, what are you looking at? Is this Lionheart?"

"Mom, didn't you listen to Janet Jackson when you were young? And dad also listened to Michael Jackson. You should watch this show. It's much more interesting than "American Idol."

Mom waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, I work for Long Island Television, and our television station has joined the Anti-MGM Alliance. Don't you know?"

As she spoke, she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Jason, come and see your idol. I'll write my paper later."

After being summoned by his wife, Jason Silver ran out of the study, looked at the screen and shook his head: "My dear, you are trying to seduce the enemy."

Maggie chuckled: "Whatever, no one knows about it anyway. Besides, the show is very interesting. Look, they are about to quarrel, hahaha."

During the show, McQueen said: "Great Thomas, your performance is great and your voice is perfect for the country circuit."

"Then why don't you turn around for him?" Good sister Jenny immediately fired.

"Well, because I don't think my singing is as good as his, I'm afraid I won't be able to guide him."

OH
Although everyone knew that Maikou was being modest, they still cheered in cooperation.

Seeing the big man of contestant 190 lowering his head shyly, Jenny couldn't help but look at him with a smile.

"You're so cute, Perlix, especially when you smile."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, how about taking off your hat? Let everyone take a good look at you."

"Wow, do the audience want to see it or do you want to see it?" Celine Dion joked.

"I think everyone wants to see it, what do you think?"

OH
The girls around suddenly screamed.

"OK!"

Pelix took off his hat. His thick hair was a little messy, but it showed a hint of wildness. He was indeed a handsome young man.

"Can you take off your pants too?" Jenny said smoothly.

Maikou hurriedly lowered his head and covered his face, while the girl's scream increased by another decibel.

Jayz hurriedly made a downward gesture: "Be more reserved, be more reserved, Jenny!"

Jenny hurriedly stepped away: "Don't make that gesture to me. I'm also black and I used to be a member of the Voodoo Cult."

Hahahaha
The audience's laughter never stopped. Except for Mai Kou who was a little shy, the other three people were obviously very funny.

Then, the two started a fight over each other.

Jenny pointed at herself: "Perix, I know that in terms of style, it is obvious that another woman is more suitable for you."

"You should show some respect to me Jenny, I debuted a whole year before you, a whole year!" Celine Dion's eyes widened. Ha ha ha ha
Jenny rolled her eyes at the camera: "Well, obviously Sheedy's style suits you better, but I have advantages that she doesn't."

"The best way for a singer to become famous is to show off at big-name concerts. This year I have a nationwide tour that you can join."

Pelix's eyes lit up, and Celine Dion hurriedly stopped her: "Wait a minute, you can't lie to this simple guy. Why didn't I hear that you were going on tour? It couldn't have been a temporary decision by you."

"Of course not. Although I don't have a tour, Michael does. He is my brother, so just join him."

Celine Dion shrugged her shoulders in surprise: "It's not fair. The brothers and sisters teamed up to deal with me. Director, director, I demand fair competition!"

"Cough cough."

"Actually, I am the producer and assistant director." Maikou said calmly.

Hahahaha
Maikou's innocent tone immediately caused bursts of laughter at the scene and in front of the screen.

Of course, these were all jokes. In the end, Pylix chose Celine Dion, who had a closer style.

Then contestants came on stage one after another, including handsome guys, beauties, dinosaurs and ugly men.

The four of them don't always make jokes. They are never ambiguous when it comes to their profession. When a player's level is indeed weak or their performance is abnormal, they will point it out tactfully and reject it.

At this time, except for Maikou's team, the other three players had gained members, and Jayz directly took the two rap guys into his account.

Just like basketball, American rap is unique in the world. Only in this country can you see rap becoming mainstream music, not in other music circles.

At this time, the progress bar has reached the last ten minutes, and there is probably only one contestant left to perform.

According to the usual rules, the last one is usually the most exciting. Countless viewers stared at the screen. In just one hour, they were deeply attracted by this novel music variety show.

"I am Bruno Mars. I am 19 years old this year. To be precise, I have not yet reached my birthday, so I can only be considered 18 years old."

"I'm from the beautiful resort island of Hawaii, which is my hometown."

"I have been performing on local stages since I was a child. I like singing, and I like the feeling of being in the spotlight and being commented on."

"Now that I'm here to participate in "The Voice," I believe I can find opportunities to showcase my talents here."

James Corden: "Bruno, you came alone?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you are the first contestant to participate in the show alone. Where are your family? Where are your friends?"

Brother Martian shook his head: "My family is in Hawaii, and I graduated from President Roosevelt High School last year. Then I thought I couldn't go on like this anymore. I needed to pursue my dream, which was music, so I came to Los Angeles alone."

"So you are chasing your dream alone?"

"That's it."

James Corden patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, there are often stories like yours in movies. I also wish you to realize your dreams like the protagonist of the movie."

"Thank you!"

The stage lights dimmed and the audience calmed down their restless mood.

stern.
In the quiet darkness, the music slowly rose, mixed with the faint ringing of wind chimes, giving people the feeling of the stars blinking in the night sky.

Hearing this prelude, Maikou suddenly raised his head slightly, listened carefully again with his ears tilted, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

Celine Dion tilted her head and looked at him: "Maiko, your fans are here."

That's right, Brother Martian is going to sing "Man in the Mirror", one of McQueen's famous songs.

This is a slow song that expresses love for the world. If you have seen the MV, you will find that it is interspersed with events such as the Ethiopian famine, the black civil rights movement in the United States, and the Ku Klux Klan. It is very touching after watching it.

This song undoubtedly won the B-chart title that year and also won the Grammy Award for Production of the Year.

Brother Martian has been idolizing and imitating McQueen since he was a child. This time he had the opportunity to face his idol, so of course he had to use his best skills to attract the opponent's attention.

"I'm gonna make a change."

"I want to make a change."

"For once in my life."

"In my life."

"It's gonna feel real good."

"I'll feel good doing it."

"Gonna make a difference."

"It's going to be different."

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
In just four sentences, Celine Dion, Jayz and Jenny all clicked the red button and looked at the unattractive little black man in front of them with some surprise.

The expressions of the three people were all surprised. They didn't expect such a beautiful voice to come from such a body.

"I see the kids in the street with not enough to eat."

“I saw children living on the streets without enough to eat.”

"A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top."

"Summer's indifference, the broken cork."

"They follow each other on the wind ya know."

“They supported each other through the storm.”

"Cause they got nowhere to go."

"Because they have nowhere else to go."

When the song reaches the chorus, Brother Martian's tune suddenly rises along with the drum beat.

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror."

"I'm going to start with the man in the mirror."

"I'm asking him to change his ways."

"I asked him to change the path he was on."

"And no message could have been any clearer."

"No other idea is clearer."

"If you wanna make the world a better place."

“If you want to make the world a better place.”

“Take a look at yourself, and then make a change.”

"Then look at yourself and change yourself."

Bang!
Maikou clicked the red button, and the audience immediately cheered. This is the only fourth-turn player in the first period so far.

Everyone swayed gently to Brother Martian's singing, and Maikou nodded gently while tapping the time.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Brother Martian finished singing and bowed to the audience.

Maikou turned on the microphone: "Wonderful performance. You look like a mixed race. Please introduce yourself."

Brother Martian looked at Maikou with excitement, and his words were a bit incoherent.

"Yes, yes, I'm from Hawaii, Mike, and I'm your super fan! Super super fan!"

"Buddy! Everyone can see, are you black?" Jayz asked with a smile.

After calming down, Brother Martian replied: "Although my skin looks a bit dark, I am not black."

"My father is of Puerto Rican and Eastern European descent, and my mother is of Spanish and Filipino descent, so I am of mixed descent."

Jayz frowned somewhat self-deprecatingly: "That's why people always say that mixed-race babies are the smartest, OMG! My Beyoncé!"

Hahahaha
Everyone knows that he and Beyoncé are a couple, but both are black.

While others were laughing, Celine Dion started to pull people in first: "Bruno, you also saw that I was the first to turn around, so I think you don't need to hesitate, join my team, I will help you find the best team. Suitable singing path.”

Seeing this, Jenny also started to speak up: "Bruno, obviously your performance was perfect. Although you sang my brother's song, I still want you very much. Come to me and let us win the championship together!"

"Brother, I don't know if you know rap, but I don't just know how to rap. I've also sung ballads, and I think adding rap elements can make you look cool. Come to me and let's pursue it together. Happy music!" Jayz said with open arms.

The three of them looked at Maikou together, he smiled, and then walked directly to the stage.

"Bruno, I know you must have come for me, and I am lucky to have met you. Let us go hand in hand until the end!"

"He cheated!" the three yelled together.

But the feigned anger was of no avail, as Brother Martian ran towards Maikou's arms as expected.

The first episode of "The Voice" has come to an end.
