After stepping off the stage, Sylvia calmly changed back into the dress she had worn before. Sitting back down in her seat, she felt like the dazzling woman on stage just moments ago was not really her. People around her continued to praise her performance.
"Miss Andrews, your performance was amazing!"
"Your rendition of 'Soul' was so beautiful!"
"I almost cried from how good it sounded."
"How did you play the keyboard so well?"
As Sylvia made her way from backstage to her seat, nearly everyone praised and complimented her. Brayden was busy messaging his mother on Facebook.
"Mama! Did you see that? My aunt is so cool!"
"Well of course she is. Your aunt is the best in the world!" replied Mrs. Wright.
Sylvia sat back down next to Franklin who handed her a bottle of water with its cap already unscrewed. She glanced at him and smiled; he always looked out for her.
Taking a few sips of water, Sylvia turned back towards the stage where they were now presenting awards for composition. Jenna went up to receive an award as a dual champion - another moment that caused excitement among those present.
Meanwhile online, people were going crazy over this year's Graley Piano Competition - even more than when Ashlyn performed under "Wynter". The same song but different styles of interpretation created quite a stir; especially when Sylvia took center stage with an unexpected twist that left everyone excited and thrilled!
Whether it was fans in attendance or those watching live online, everyone agreed that Sylvia alone brought an audio-visual feast comparable to that of an entire band! Her keyboard skills were simply amazing and left people feeling exhilarated!
Her performance became one of this year's most talked-about events at Graley Piano Competition! Other performers behind Sylvia found themselves struggling because compared to what they had seen earlier - their performances seemed lackluster by comparison!
Some audience members even found themselves bored or disinterested during other performances after seeing what Sylvia could do! Even their previously favorite performers seemed dull by comparison!
At each Graley Piano Competition event there would be voting for most popular performer which would then receive recognition as "Most Popular Performance Award".
The voting channel for the Graley Piano Competition closes at the very last moment of the competition, making it one of the most fiercely contested events every year. It's a reward for performers, but this year there was no doubt in anyone's mind that Sylvia's Soul would win. She not only played well but sang beautifully too. So when the host announced Sylvia's Soul as the winner of Most Popular Program at Graley Piano Competition, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Then, on a large screen behind him, came all of the program rankings. Sylvia's Soul was way ahead with fans from all over the world going crazy to vote for her. The voting channels included online platforms and live fan voting machines.
Sylvia won an astonishing 355 million votes! Other programs didn't even come close to getting millions or billions of votes like she did; she single-handedly beat them all.
Mr. Guzman had a complicated expression on his face; he wanted to congratulate Sylvia but couldn't find his voice. This feeling... it was really uncomfortable.
He also wanted to make friends with her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it before now because he used to hate Louis and Sylvia both - however after seeing what she just pulled off so skillfully - Mr. Guzman had no choice but admit that he respected her talent greatly!
He could play piano well enough himself... but compared with playing instruments or singing songs like Sylvia did? He knew deep down inside that he couldn't hold a candle against her!
Why shouldn't she be President of The Piano Association? Now Mr. Guzman felt that nobody else could do it besides her!
After receiving her award onstage and stepping back down again, host announced that this year's Graley Piano Competition had come to an end successfully.
Each winner received not only prize money but also opportunities for official cooperation with Graley Piano Competition in future projects.
Sylvia walked out from under everyone's congratulations and praise surrounded by people who were congratulating and complimenting her performance while Mr. Guzman followed along behind them finally summoning up courage. "Miss Andrews," he said as they walked out together "Congratulations! We should work together sometime."
Mrs. Ritter and Ashlyn also walked out after them just in time see this scene unfold before their eyes; their faces turned sour like they'd eaten something terrible.
Ashlyn walked quickly to Mr. Guzman's side, "Mr. Guzman, it's late. How about we go get some late-night snacks together?"
At the moment, Mr. Guzman was trying to please Sylvia and seeing Ashlyn made him annoyed.
But then he suddenly thought of the rumor that had surfaced on the internet tonight - that Ashlyn was Wynter herself.
Although Ashlyn didn't have much talent in playing the piano, but... if she really was Wynter, then having her as his apprentice would be quite prestigious.
With this thought in mind, Mr. Guzman put on a more amiable face and said: "Sure! Why don't you tell me about your inspiration and methods when composing?"
Upon hearing Mr. Guzman's words, Ashlyn was overjoyed and said: "This way please."
She deliberately looked at Sylvia with arrogance - as long as I speak up, Mr. Guzman will still follow me? Who do you think you are?
Sylvia: "..."
Is this woman crazy? Why did she suddenly look at me so triumphantly?
Mrs. Ritter wasn't optimistic like Ashlyn.
Her face turned black and she had to pinch her palm to restrain herself from rushing up and strangling Sylvia.
This bitch! How dare she be good at everything?! She can even play keyboard so well and sing with such a great voice!
