The finals were proceeding in an orderly manner.
Shami sat in the front row, constantly monitoring the popularity change.
As of now, the popularity of the 11 contestants was at a fairly balanced level, with no clear gaps.
Although voting had started, the audience was in no hurry to cast their sole vote.
Soon, after several rounds of team performances, judges began critiquing different contestants.
At this point, Shami realized that the popularity vote was divided into two aspects: one was the audience's vote, and the other was the judges' vote.
Theo had a special status; as an invited judge, the contestant he voted for could win the Best Newcomer Award.
Undoubtedly, Theo's vote would bring considerable exposure, greatly affecting the voting direction of the audience inside and outside the stadium.
"In that case, Theo can't vote recklessly..."
Shami murmured to himself, sensing something amiss.
