People who were not familiar with music still found the song quite enjoyable to listen to. However, they also had this strange, indescribable feeling. As soon as Zac and Simone spoke. it became clear where that strange feeling came from. It turned out that the artist’s style contradicted the piece itself, and Jodie failed to convey the essence of the song.
Keira was a professional singer. From the moment Jodie started singing, she could tell that something was off. “Jodie’s style is very different from the style of this song. She sings this song in such a gentle way. It sounds really unsuited for the song itself. The song doesn’t feel very suitable for her personality either.” She had her suspicions, which only made her even more disgusted with Jodie.
Harry also added on to the conversation. “Her songwriting style is quite unique. It leans more towards a masculine style. With that said, Eric and Brandon also understood what was going on. Jodie’s ‘self–composed new song had many flaws. The audience in the live broadcast room also started discussing this matter. Some people suspected that Jodie might have hired a ghostwriter for the song, but there was no evidence, so it was hard for them to tell.
After Jodie finished singing, she received slightly fewer green button votes than Harry. However, she ranked second for the time being. She returned to her seat, and Luca took the stage. He picked up the guitar and started singing. He was also singing a new sentimental song. Gray Entertainment had invested all its resources in him, disregarding other similar artists from the same company who could have made a name for themselves.
But he did have some talent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so many fans. His singing technique and tone were flawless, but he lacked emotion. His voice was also inferior in comparison to Harry’s. He sang better than Jodie, so he received more votes than her. After listening to Luca’s song, Zac smiled thoughtfully. “Jodie and Luca truly live up to being siblings. Their songwriting style and their tiny musical habits are exactly the same.” He turned to Simone and Keira. “Have you noticed the little habits in their songs?” Simone knew that Zac was being intentional.
“Yes, we’ve noticed. The ending of every line in their songs… I’ve been paying attention to the similarities in their singing, so when you asked, I could easily point out most of them,” Simone replied with a smile. Keira was left to answer the rest. Someone with her talent was naturally able to notice the tiny details. Sure enough, Keira commented on the other half of the similarities.
She then sighed. “If one didn’t know, one would think they were a duo. Their songwriting style and habits are exactly the same.” After listening to Luca’s song, her previous suspicions were confirmed. Jodie didn’t write this herself. Luca helped her write it. She despised this kind of singer, which was why she deliberately pointed out the similarities to Zac and Simone.
There were also professionals in the live chat. “The style and habits of songwriting cannot be exactly the same. It’s obvious that one person wrote the song, one commented.

After listening to Zachy’s analysis, 1 specifically looked for Luca’s songs and studied them. I found that he has these habits in every song, another said.
I am a professional, and I want to expose Jodie. The song she just sang is clearly written by
Luca.
Agreed, it’s too obvious.
Let me add that out of the eight songs that Jodie claimed to have written, four of them have this style and the same habits.”
The other four songs by Jodie also have two different styles and habits.
“Someone who can write and arrange their own songs shouldn’t show such a big difference in their styles.’
Yes. Even if the style of the songs is very different, there should still be some traces of their own style in them, but hers doesn’t have any
I’ve said before that Jodie’s songs are most likely written by ghostwriters, but then I got attacked by internet trolls and her fans on Facebook. Now there are finally other people who understand.
Other viewers were also speechless.
‘Although I don’t understand music very well, listening to Jodie and Luca’s singing does make. me think that their style feels very similar.
‘No wonder that middle part sounded like the male lead! Because it actually was!”
Jodie sure is amazing. She made a top singer act as her ghostwriter.”
‘I don’t understand. Isn’t Jodie a graduate of a music school? Can’t she write her own songs? Furthermore, she started her career with acting. If she can’t write songs, she should just sing other people’s songs. Why does she have to use someone else’s to show that she’s a talented
woman?”
‘But this is what Luca is willing to do.
Think about the relationship between Luca and Jodie. For people like them, using each other’s work is normal, right?‘
Exactly. If the cameraman hadn’t come in early, they would’ve probably been all over each other. What’s the big deal about them using each other’s songs?‘
This is disrespectful to professionals and other singers.

‘I used to think that Luca only cared about singing and was a good singer, but now it seems that I was wrong!
I didn’t expect my idol to be like this. I was wrong.
‘Does he help others as a ghostwriter? I’m so disappointed. I’m unfollowing him.”
Some fans who liked Luca because of his songs couldn’t help but unfollow him in disappointment. Luca’s biggest fans immediately came out to appease the situation. Some brainwashed fans jumped out to defend him, saying that Luca was just helping Jodie write a few songs. “What’s wrong with that?‘ some fans commented. But they were immediately countered by others.
‘Just helping Jodie with writing her songs is indeed not a problem. But Jodie put her own label on it. Doesn’t that count as deceiving people?”
‘Luca is not innocent either. He is helping Jodie deceive and manipulate everyone, which is an immoral act‘
Both sides were arguing, but no one denied the fact that Jodie’s song was written by Luca. It proved that the exposure of Jodie’s deeds had been successful. The criticisms Jodie received sent her up on the list of trending topics. Aero and Luca’s fans were among the main forces. who criticized her.
In the meantime, Jodie, who was still at the bar, was unaware that her name was trending again. Upon seeing the results of the voting, she congratulated Luca with a smile on her face. However, she felt a bit sad inside. She couldn’t believe she didn’t make it to the duel round. She was extremely frustrated. For some reason, she felt like something bad had happened to her.
She entered the entertainment industry not just to distinguish herself from Simone but also to surpass Simone and become famous. That was also why she chose to go to music school in the first place. Only by becoming a top star and gaining more and more fans could her luck improve. If this had been in the past, she would have undoubtedly reached the finals today. However, her luck has clearly taken a turn for the worse, and she made a miscalculation.
She glanced at Simone, her eyes filled with disdain. Simone was entirely to blame for ruining her plan. Simone was the one who led to her being attacked and her reputation being tarnished. Now, salvaging the situation wasn’t as simple as she had imagined.
In the upcoming days, she had to excel in whatever she did in order to alter the audience’s perception of her. After Luca’s performance, a few more individuals took the stage to sing. Harry received the highest number of votes, with Luca coming in second. As per the rules of this bar, the two of them had to choose the same song to compete against one another. Subsequently, everyone would vote to determine who performed the best.
