Chapter 299 - Chapter 299 - Global Attention 1

Laila was very grateful that she had brought earplugs. Just by the deafening noise around her, she could tell how crazy the surrounding audience was. If she hadn't prepared this miraculous device, she doubted whether her ears would have lost their hearing due to the prolonged exposure to high-decibel sounds.

The first group of singers came out amidst cheers, performed, and then exited. This was followed by the second group of singers continuing the performance and then exiting...

As Laila watched the approaching time, her heart rate began to quicken. Whether her gamble would bring in billions of dollars in revenue or drag Roy into a swamp depended on their performance in a few moments.

If it succeeded, she would fulfill her contract with Victoria's Secret, helping them become the world's top-selling lingerie brand within a year. If it failed, Victoria's Secret would remain Victoria's Secret, still capturing the attention of countless people, while Roy would become a laughingstock, a Hollywood pretty boy who had bitten off more than he could chew, foolishly leaving the film industry to pursue singing.

As for her, she would become a representative of failure for forcibly introducing elements of failure into another company's project, and her reputation would be tarnished.

The future would depend on the next few minutes!

When the hands of her watch pointed in a certain direction, Laila's pupils suddenly constricted. At the same time, a song rang out from the stage in the stadium, "OhWhoa——"

"OhWhoa——"

"OhWhoa——"

The same lyrics appeared three times. As all the spectators looked at the stage with puzzled expressions, columns of fireworks suddenly shot up several meters high around the central stage.

When the fireworks dissipated, and the audience saw what was happening below, everyone went wild.

A group of lingerie-clad models with long hair and perfect figures slowly walked onto the stage. Each of them had a pair of feathered wings on their backs, resembling angels descended to earth, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

Those watching on screens had a clearer view and could see the models' radiant smiles, their enchanting looks, and the sexy lingerie on their flawless bodies.

The audience, who had thought the halftime show would be dominated by the singers, went crazy. Men and women of all ages were fixated on these angelic beauties. Men focused on the beauties, while women admired the lingerie and realized for the first time that women could look so beautiful, sexy, and exciting in just lingerie.

Simultaneously, the music began to play.

"You know you love me, I know you care,

Just shout whenever, And I'll be there."

[T/N: She stole Justin's song]

The central stage rose slowly, lifting Roy, who was singing, into the air.

Roy had been taken aback when he found out he would be performing at the Super Bowl halftime show. But it wasn't stage fright; it was the kind of shock anyone would feel when suddenly facing such a situation.

Just as he had assured from the beginning, he showed no sign of fear despite performing in front of a live audience of hundreds of thousands, millions of viewers across America, and billions watching the broadcast globally.

Laila felt that he wasn't nervous at all. In fact, he seemed to be performing even better than usual because of the large audience, surpassing his usual level.

At least to her ears, his voice was more suitable for this song than Justin Bieber's performance from the previous life. After all, Bieber was only sixteen at the time, and his voice hadn't fully matured yet, still carrying a hint of nasal tone. Roy, on the other hand, had benefited from his vocal coach's guidance and had developed his voice well. Additionally, this song didn't have any particularly challenging parts, making it easy for him to handle.

Yes, he was singing "Baby," the song that had made a music-loving teenager famous worldwide in 2010, winning numerous honors and awards.

Clearly, this song possessed all the elements Laila needed. It was simple enough for Roy to easily grasp, had a lively rhythm that could easily elevate the audience's emotions, and featured lyrics that were straightforward, easy to understand, and easy to sing along with. It was the perfect song for this moment.

Indeed, as the models strutted around the stage in rhythm with the music, showcasing their lingerie, the temperature in the entire stadium seemed to rise by several degrees.

When Roy sang, "Baby, baby, baby, oh," Laila saw people around her swaying to the rhythm involuntarily. By the time he sang it a second time, some were able to join in and sing along with him.

Laila watched as the people around her waved their arms and sang loudly, "Baby, baby, baby, oh." Her face, which had been tense the entire time, finally broke into a smile.

She squeezed her hands together, knowing she had succeeded!

The audience loved the song!

Just half a song's time was enough for her to know that she had succeeded. And this was only the first half; there was another half to elevate this current success and create an even greater impact.

Onstage, while Roy rapped along with the black singer Luca, he also took advantage of the martial arts he had learned over the years, improvising moves right in front of countless people. Front flips, side flips, spinning kicks – he moved as if he had no weight, executing actions that excited the audience.

When the rap section concluded, Roy started singing again. The stage was surrounded by dazzling Victoria's Secret angels, while dancers on the stage below formed various formations. Periodically, columns of fireworks shot into the sky, creating a magnificent spectacle when viewed from overhead.

As the familiar "Baby, baby, baby, oh" resounded, the entire audience and the millions watching the live broadcast swayed to the rhythm, singing along loudly.
