Chapter 827 Can You Make a Connection?
Until this moment, Elsa finally overlapped the voice of Summer's singing in her mind with Abella's usual speaking voice. They were indeed somewhat similar, but when singing, Summer's voice had a lot of power and penetration.
She really hadn't noticed any connection between Abella and Summer before.
It could only be said that Abella was truly impressive.
Brenda, standing near the stage, secretly took out her phone to capture close-up shots of Blake and Abella's backs.
She hadn't expected such a small body to contain so much energy. Abella perfectly executed both high and low notes, which were incredibly moving, with a power that seemed to penetrate the soul and cleanse the spirit.
After finishing the song "Angel," Blake's eyes were particularly moved. "Let's thank our headliner for tonight, Summer, for perfectly conveying the emotions of this song."
He opened his arms and gave Abella a grateful hug.
The fans in the audience applauded enthusiastically, and the applause lasted for a long time.
"This song was written for my sister. Summer, what did you think when you first saw it?" Blake looked at Abella, waiting expectantly and nervously for her response.
"It's beautiful. I believe every girl in the world who hears this song will think of how good their brothers are to them." Abella looked at Blake with emotion. "You're a good brother. It's a blessing to be your sister."
Hearing Abella's affirmation, Blake was even happier.
"My sister is especially wonderful," Blake said sincerely and from the heart. "She is truly the best sister in the world. I love her very much. Here, I also want to tell her to just be herself, as the lyrics say. I will always be behind her, protecting her, shielding her from the wind and rain, and helping her conquer everything."
The fans in the audience screamed wildly, wishing they could all be Blake's sister.
"I'm also very happy to perform on the same stage tonight. Have you had enough? Do you want to hear another song?"
Blake's expression was a mix of surprise and delight, perhaps not expecting Abella to say that.
This was an extra surprise.
The fans in the audience shouted crazily, "Yes! Yes!"
Abella looked at the fans gracefully. "What do you want to hear?"
There were all sorts of answers from the audience, but the most popular request was Blake's new song this year, "Cuddling."
Abella smiled and said, "I heard it, it's 'Cuddling,' right?"
"Yes." The fans were excited again, and the atmosphere heated up once more.
Blake hadn't expected Abella to be so good at engaging the crowd, nor had he expected her to be so good at improvising.
As the fans shouted excitedly, Abella used her unique voice to slowly sing the female part first. Then, Blake sang into the microphone, passionately conveying the emotions of the song.
After the song ended, the applause was continuous, and some fans even cried!
Getting to hear an extra song at the concert was a bonus for them!
"Do you want to see Blake dance?" As soon as Abella said this, the crowd went wild.
No one had expected such a treat at the end of the concert, and the shouts from the audience grew louder and louder.
"Yes."
"How about I play an impromptu piece, and he dances an impromptu dance?" Abella asked with a gentle smile.
"Yes." The fans were overjoyed and kept chanting, "Do it! Do it! Do it!"
Blake hadn't expected Abella to be so playful.
Brenda, hiding in the shadows, was even more moved. She knew Summer wouldn't disappoint, and she was even better at engaging the crowd.
A white piano slowly rose onto the stage, and Abella sat in front of it, starting with a gentle melody.
Blake danced beautifully, eliciting frequent screams from the fans.
As Abella's melody sped up, Blake's dance became more and more dazzling, and the fans were almost shouting themselves hoarse.
At this moment, Brenda's phone rang repeatedly. She saw it was Dino Burdick, the manager of a popular male star.
Due to their previous collaboration, Brenda had to go backstage to find a quiet place to answer the call. "Dino, long time no see."
"Brenda." Dino's smile was particularly bright. "First, congratulations on Blake's successful concert."
"Thank you, Dino."
"Several of our company's executives are watching Blake's concert live. The lighting, and the stage effects, especially the naked-eye 3D effects, are amazing and worth learning from. Of course, what we really want to know is how you managed to get Summer to perform."
"It was a special favor from Summer, and it was also her recognition of Blake."
"I know, Blake is exceptionally talented, and there's no one in the music industry who can match him. Summer must have seen his popularity and hard work. What I want to know is, did you have your manager negotiate with her manager?"
"Summer herself agreed. If you want to collaborate with her, you should check with Kiki to see if she has any availability."
"That Kiki is tough to deal with. I've been turned down by her many times. I just want to know how you negotiated with her and what price you offered. Brenda, we're old friends. Just tell me the truth. If they agree to work with us, you'll be doing us a big favor, and you'll be well rewarded."
"Dino, I only found out an hour before Summer took the stage that she would be the headliner tonight. Let me find out and get back to you. How does that sound?"
"Alright, thank you. I'll be waiting for your call, no matter how late. Don't worry about disturbing me. If it's about Summer, call me anytime, and I'll answer within three seconds."
"Okay." As soon as Brenda hung up, another female manager, Cassandra, called her.
"Cassandra."
"Brenda." Cassandra's voice was warmer than usual. "I watched Blake's concert from start to finish. It was incredibly moving. Top-tier talent is truly top-tier, with that voice and popularity."
"Thank you for your support and recognition, Cassandra."
"Brenda, I love Blake so much that I immediately thought of him for a collaboration. You know the world-class luxury brand OL's Rivershineia spokesperson is our company's Winford Hagen. The contract is up in a week, and Winford wants to recommend Blake. With Winford's recommendation and Blake's popularity, the deal is sure to go through. The endorsement fee is $20 million a year. But can Blake do us a favor and take Summer out for a late-night snack after the concert? We'll cover the cost."
