Chapter 122 122 – Video Reaction

Staring at the screen in excitement, Charlie watched as the countdown went from 10 seconds to 0 seconds and the video began.

“So am I going to be the last artist to sing tonight?” She saw BlackVelvet ask his agent with curiosity, leaving her very surprised that she hadn’t imagined he could already be the last artist of the night.

“Sort of, you’ll be singing after the last D-rank artist, but after that there will be a performance by a C-rank artist.” Selena explained to Charlie and the video chat audience.

Cut to the scene of them arriving at the bar and people already recognizing him, which made the audience very happy to see him growing and becoming more famous.

Even people who weren’t on the path to becoming an artist felt good about following BlackVelvet’s vlogs and seeing him become more famous with each passing week.

Without anyone realizing it, it was as if they were following a successful career, and because they were watching the vlogs every week, they were participating in that success and feeling the dopamine from seeing the improvement as if it were their progress too!

“You mean I have to play in front of an E Rank boy?” A rude, angry voice was heard from the other side of the door, startling the video audience.

Seeing this, Charlie was surprised and immediately thought, “Could this be the person BlackVelvet is going to have a musical battle with?

The number of people watching the live video increased by the second and by now there were 17,000 people watching the video.

When BlackVelvet entered the room and started arguing with Fedrick, Charlie was surprised to learn who Fedrick was.

Not only did she recognize him, but so did some of the viewers on the stream.

[Isn’t that Fedrick Davis?! That guy’s almost in C-Rank!]

[Don’t tell me BlackVelvet is going to have a musical battle with him?!]

[Woah!!]

[Who is he?!]

[The last time he performed here in LA I was at the bar, he got so mad at a customer that the two of them started fighting in the middle of the bar, after that I never saw him again, I thought he was banned or something].

[LOL!]

[Will BlackVelvet and this guy get into a fight?]

[Bruh, look at the size of BlackVelvet, if that dude tried anything with BlackVelvet he’d probably destroy him!]

[Look at the video, BlackVelvet is intimidating him by crossing his arms!]

[He looked at BlackVelvet’s arm muscles and got scared! LMAO!]

Seeing the comments, Charlie was worried that BlackVelvet would get into a fight, but seeing how Fedrick was scared of BlackVelvet, she was relieved and found the situation funny.

When she saw Lila Brooks enter the room, even though she didn’t know who she was, there were a few people in the chat who did know who she was and explained it to her, so she was surprised that it was the C-Rank Artist of the Night who suggested it.

And seeing how she looked at BlackVelvet with interest, Charlie guessed that she had been planning something like this all along!

[Man, did you see the way Lila looked up and down at BlackVelvet!]

[BlackVelvet will accept the musical battle, right?!]

[That’s the name of the video, of course he’ll accept!]

Charlie saw that BlackVelvet did not think much about the video and accepted the musical battle without much consideration, which made her worry when she confirmed that his opponent was indeed Fedrick Davis.

As someone who had studied the music and art industry for so long, she knew that the difference in popularity between artists wasn’t just a letter in a ranking,

The world took these rankings very seriously, and without the proper skills, it was very difficult for an artist to climb the ranks.

Even if he received powerful marketing help, it would be difficult to keep many fans if the difference in his ability was too great compared to his actual level.

And with the length of his career that she’d seen, she knew that his ability might be too high.

In comparison, BlackVelvet, who was only two months into his career, seemed much more raw in comparison.

She wasn’t the only one who had this feeling, even though the vast majority of the video’s viewers just wanted BlackVelvet to destroy Fedrick in the musical battle, those who really understood this world knew that unfortunately, the chances of BlackVelvet winning this musical battle were very slim.

But instead of discouraging them and the other viewers from watching the video, it made them even more excited and curious to see how it would turn out.

Even more so when BlackVelvet talked to his team and said that he was planning to release an original song because of this battle!

Unlike the MeTubers who used their fame to make a career in the music industry even though they had no skills, BlackVelvet did the opposite.Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐velbin(.)com

People watched his vlogs because his musical skills were so good that people wanted to know what his artistic process was like.

So when they heard that he had a new song to use in the musical battle, that became the main focus of the public’s expectation.

[Woah, he’s going to sing another original song!]

[All of Me is so good! Will it be a song like All of Me?!]

[He said he’s going to sing a country song, how is BlackVelvet going to sing a country song?! I can’t even imagine him doing that!]

[How can someone come up with so many songs in so many different styles?!]

[And all of them are so good!]

Yeah… how is that possible…?’ Charlie wondered as he stared even more curiously at the screen of her phone.

Charlie was very entertained by the video as she watched the vlog and saw people’s reactions, feeling that it all made the experience so much more interesting!

Seeing how BlackVelvet watched Fedrick sing and interact with the audience to decide how to act.

To see him thinking about what he could do better when he left the stage, how he could make the audience like him more than Fedrick.

To see the audience’s reaction to Boyfriend… to see how they were amazed by Fedrick’s ability, but didn’t know how to get past him.

Until the moment that shocked the audience the most, a moment that felt like the world had stopped and BlackVelvet was extremely focused on Fedrick, watching everything he did and how he could improve.

And what was most surprising was to see how much he had really changed in just a few minutes of observation, how much better he was acting, how much more natural his interactions with the audience had become, how much more relaxed he was playing the guitar on stage.

How can anyone be so talented?! Charlie asked herself in frustration as she saw how much better he looked in his last performance compared to the first time he took the stage tonight.

As someone who had also studied and practiced, she was frustrated that in only 2 months he was already so much better at it than she was, and at the rate she saw him improving, by the time she actually decided to start her career, he would be flying so high it would be unreachable!

[He’s improved a lot…]

[Bruh, he just watched Fedrick for a few minutes and managed to learn so much about how Fedrick acted… Can you imagine what he would do if he had more time?!!]

[I wish I was at that show…]

Looking at the comments and the number of people watching, Charlie was surprised to see that the number of viewers was already over 20,000, an amazing number for a channel with only 140k subscribers!

Suddenly they heard BlackVelvet’s explanation of the new song and everyone’s attention turned back to him on the screen.

My baby wants a Birkin, she’s been telling me all night…

Gas and groceries, the list goes on and on…

This 9 to 5 ain’t workin’, why the hell do I work so hard?

I can’t worry about my problems, I can’t take them when I’m gone, uh…

Seeing BlackVelvet actually play and sing a country song made Charlie and the video viewers freeze.

It’s not possible that he’s actually doing a mix of country with rock and rap and the song turns out this good…’ Charlie thought shocked. Charlie thought in shock.

Not only was the rhythm of the song fun and interesting, the lyrics of the song were very interesting, but it fit incredibly well with country music and gave the song his personality.

As a non-country artist, wearing black clothes, bleached hair, a rebellious look, very rock star style, if he just sang a regular country song, it wouldn’t fit.

But this little change he made to the song made it much more interesting and suited him much better!

And when Charlie saw the audience’s reaction in the chat, she saw that she wasn’t the only one who thought so.

Too bad that instead of finishing the song, BlackVelvet just put it up as a teaser and jumped to the results of the musical battle, which he surprisingly won by a narrow margin!

Seeing that despite being an E Rank artist, he had won a musical battle against an artist who was very close to C Rank, not only surprised Charlie, but also made other curious eyes that were watching pay more attention to this talented young boy.

BlackVelvet’s rise was becoming more and more consolidated now that it was possible to compare him with other artists of similar rank.
