Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Sienna Everett Doesn’t Know How to Compose?

However, the host deliberately built up the suspense. "Dear viewers, our mystery guest, SG, will be making their appearance later on, so please keep your eyes peeled and stay tuned!"

The viewers in the livestream chat were furious. Why build up all this suspense?

However, while the viewers complained fiercely, not a single one of them actually left the livestream.

They couldn’t help it; they were just too curious to see who SG really was.

The number of viewers on the livestream was still skyrocketing.

This was a music variety show, so the host had Orion Hawthorne and Dustin Everett each perform one of their new songs live to promote them.

Orion Hawthorne sang "Black Faith."

Dustin Everett sang the title track from his album, a song he had composed himself.

Their vocal skills were evenly matched, and it was hard to declare a winner between them.

However, in the livestream chat, most people were supporting Orion Hawthorne.

Dustin Everett’s fans were dismissive. No matter how good "Black Faith" was, Orion Hawthorne hadn’t composed the music.

Dustin Everett, on the other hand, composed his own songs. That was true talent.

[Of the four guests on the show today, only our Dustin knows how to compose!]

[Heh, some people haven’t released any new music and can’t even write songs. I don’t know why they’re even on a music show. Yeah, I’m talking about Sienna Everett. She’s just pretty, that’s all. What does she have besides her looks?]

[Good thing she and Dustin have already cut ties. Now our Dustin won’t be dragged down by her anymore!]

Sienna Everett’s fans couldn’t stand it any longer.

[So what if she can’t compose? The show invited our Sienna, you know!]

On set, after Orion Hawthorne and Dustin Everett finished performing their new songs, the host chatted with them for a bit about the creative process behind the music.

Then, the host divided the four guests into two teams: Sienna Everett and Orion Hawthorne on one team, and Dustin Everett and Shannon Everett on the other.

The host raised the microphone and said,

"And now, we’re going to start a music-related game. The challenge is this: Sienna Everett and Orion Hawthorne’s team will have to write four lines of lyrics right here on the spot."

"Meanwhile, Dustin Everett and Shannon Everett’s team will need to compose a melody for those lyrics, also on the spot. You don’t need to finish a whole song, just a melody for the four lines of lyrics will do."

Orion Hawthorne wasn’t skilled at composing, but he was a natural when it came to writing lyrics.

He had written the lyrics for all three of his new songs himself.

In less than two minutes, inspiration struck, and he finished writing four lines of lyrics. He passed the paper to Sienna Everett and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Sienna Everett glanced down at it and replied, also in a hushed tone, "They’re pretty good."

A grin spread across Orion Hawthorne’s face, his eyes glinting with arrogance. "They’re my lyrics. Who would dare say they’re not good?"

Sienna Everett glanced at him, the corners of her cherry-red lips lifting slightly. "I’ve already witnessed your skills as a lyricist. When do I get to witness your skills as a pole dancer?"

Orion Hawthorne: "..."

’What the fuck.’

’Those two words, "pole dancing," were a critical hit!’

Orion Hawthorne wondered if he’d had a brain fart back then. ’Why did I have to bring up pole dancing in front of Sienna Everett?’

Because the two of them were speaking in hushed voices, the viewers on the livestream couldn’t hear and were extremely curious.

[What are those two talking about? Is there something that even a premium VIP member like me isn’t allowed to hear?]

[Has anyone else noticed... Sienna Everett and Orion Hawthorne kinda have some chemistry...]

[??? @ysgswd, get over here, big shot! Someone’s shipping a random pairing!]

Over on the other side, Dustin Everett and Shannon Everett were still composing, and it looked like they wouldn’t be done any time soon.

One viewer asked: [Why not have Sienna Everett and Orion Hawthorne’s team do the composing?]

Dustin Everett’s fans immediately swarmed in:

[Are you kidding? Orion Hawthorne is only good for writing lyrics. As for that Sienna Everett, she can’t compose or write lyrics. She should just be grateful she gets to show her face on TV!]

After nearly thirty minutes, Dustin Everett finally finished composing the melody for the four lines of lyrics.

The show’s staff had already prepared a piano.

The host invited Dustin Everett to play the melody on the piano and sing the lyrics along with it.

Dressed in a white suit, Dustin Everett walked to the piano and sat down. His ten fingers moved fluidly across the keys as he slowly played the melody he had just composed.

After Dustin Everett finished playing, the host asked the other three guests to comment.

Shannon Everett spoke up with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration for Dustin Everett. "Dustin, that was so beautiful! This is my first time seeing someone compose on the spot. You’re amazing!"

Next, the host turned to Orion Hawthorne.

Orion Hawthorne raised his microphone. "I’ve seen someone else compose live before."

The host quickly asked, "Care to tell us more?"

A wide, unrestrained smile spread across Orion Hawthorne’s face. "SG wrote two full compositions for me in fifteen minutes."

The moment he said that, the livestream’s comment section exploded.

[HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! Two full songs in 15 minutes!! That’s our god, SG!]

[Uh, and it just took Dustin Everett 30 minutes to compose a melody for four lines of lyrics...]

[By the way, when is SG appearing? The suspense is killing me.]

Next, the host turned to Sienna Everett, asking for her comments on Dustin Everett’s live composition.

Sienna Everett raised her microphone.

However, before Sienna Everett could speak, Dustin Everett cut in, "I don’t accept critiques on my music from someone who doesn’t even know how to compose."

His words were clearly aimed at Sienna Everett.

Sienna Everett said nothing, merely sweeping a cool glance in Dustin Everett’s direction, her beautiful eyes filled with a touch of cold mockery.

Dustin Everett sneered inwardly. ’What does Sienna Everett know?’

’Letting her critique me would be giving her far too much credit!’

With the live composition segment concluded, the host excitedly announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know you’ve all been waiting for this moment. So, without further ado, let me formally announce that the great SG is about to take the stage!"
