Chapter 97: Uncertainty
"Wh– what do you think about my–" she couldn’t finish the question and hoped he understood what she meant.
"Your vocal needs training. You ruined it when you picked up songs that weren’t meant for your voice." He answered honestly.
Jeslyn’s heart dived headfirst into her stomach. She felt her world crushing underneath her feet. Sadness consumed her as her mind flashed to the criticisms she got when she was still singing.
A lot of fans and haters had talked down on her singing and called her untalented so many times but because of the review she got from the world’s most strict and impartial judge, Mr. Ryan Shen, Jeslyn didn’t take the haters’ words to heart.
During her days in high school, she participated in a singing contest organized by some unknown bodies. The judges were impressed by Jeslyn’s singing.
While other judges gave Jeslyn 9 – 10 out of 10, Mr. Ryan Shen, the only judge in the world who thinks no voice is good enough to earn anyone 8 out of 10, gave Jeslyn 4.5 out of 10.
The 65 years old man had never given anyone over 4 marks in ten years, which was why Jeslyn’s rating took the entertainment industry by storm.
Mr. Ryan Shen was a music legend. He retired in his thirties and decided to become a teacher and reviewer. He had tutored three super successful artists whom Celestine Xuan was a part of. Breaking his record was every musician’s goal. His music stood at the pinnacle of the music world for decades without any music being able to pull it off the chart. The old man’s music, until tomorrow, would still be the world’s best.
Thanks to that rating, Jeslyn became a sought-after newbie by different agencies, including those from Country M and Country Y, a Country of music. However, no matter how many invitations she received, Alice refused and wouldn’t let her take the offer.
