"Music is the voice of the soul, not something determined by technique or pitch. In fact, Ning Xiaofei even hit a note too low just now, which is precisely why I deducted a point from her. However, I still believe that it was a moving performance, because she infused genuine emotion into it, she sang with her heart, not with her voice or breath. This is something that no one else managed to achieve just now."
Ji Mo led the applause, and then the clapping thundered through the venue.
As the applause died down slightly, Ji Mo gently raised his right hand, signaling for quiet.
