Gamer Superstar - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: [Bonus Chapter] 88 – A Bride’s Reaction
Sarah, a young woman of 27, was about to experience one of the most important moments of her life.

After dating for 6 years and living with her boyfriend for over 2 years, she was finally getting married.

Her wedding had been planned for over 6 months and would take place in just over a week.

The problem Sarah had was that she and her husband had just had a huge fight.

Sarah was upset because her husband wasn’t paying as much attention to the wedding details, while her husband was working hard to pay for the wedding.

Despite being upset with her husband, Sarah was still researching a lot of things about marriage to try to have the perfect wedding of her dreams, and while she was researching these kinds of things, she was surprised by a video that popped up in the recommendations for her.

Unlike the videos she’d seen before, which focused on the perspective of wedding guests or brides giving their opinions on things they did right or wrong at their wedding, the video that popped up for her was apparently a video from the perspective of the singer who sang at someone’s wedding!

Just by seeing the title of the video, Sarah was interested to see what a wedding would be like from a singer’s perspective, since she had already seen it from all perspectives except this one.

Looking at the thumbnail, she saw that the singer was a young, handsome man wearing a black suit with a gray shirt underneath and a blue tie, while on the other side of the thumbnail she saw the bride and groom crying with emotion.

Just seeing the reaction of this bride and groom piqued Sarah’s curiosity to the point where it would be impossible not to click on this video, so she did.

As soon as the video started, Sarah saw the young singer in the thumbnail looking into the camera on stage as he explained what the video would be about with a quick synopsis.

“Hi guys, I’m BlackVelvet and today you’re going to see about the event I performed at last week! Unlike the presentations I usually do in bars, this time the challenge is not how to cheer up a bar crowd, but how to cheer up guests of different ages and different groups at a wedding, while I have to sing a special song for the bride and groom at the end!”.

With each thing he said in that summary, the video cut to edits of those things, both showing him performing in bars and the audience getting excited about his show, and showing the wedding and the difficult start with the audience discouraged.

But when Sarah saw that at the end of this summary, almost everyone at the wedding was on the dance floor and the bride and groom were crying, she was surprised.

She didn’t even know that the performer had to worry about these challenges while singing. To her, the performer would just pick a playlist and sing it until it was time to leave, but as she watched this child explain it, she realized that being a singer was different than she had imagined!

Without her realizing it, the fast-paced editing and various uses of triggers and expectation controls that BlackVelvet used in the video were responsible for making her watch every second of the video with great interest.

Seeing how he interacted with his team made her sympathize more with the young singer, seeing how he struggled with the discouraged audience at the beginning, but that he managed to use an idea to get people’s attention by talking about the bride and groom and asking them to clap made her surprised at how clever he was.

Even watching more and more people come up to the stage to dance while listening to him sing gave her a very strong feeling of satisfaction, as if she was the singer who was gradually winning over this audience.

Seeing how much this artist cared about the audience and how the audience felt made Sarah reconsider her choice of singer for her wedding.

Even though she had chosen a Rank D artist that she and her husband liked to sing at their wedding, and even though she had noticed how important the artist’s interaction with the audience was, Sarah was worried that the artist she had hired wouldn’t be good at it.

What if the artist didn’t care about the audience, no one liked the songs, and the wedding was a disaster?

Just the thought of that possibility scared Sarah to death.

But she kept watching the video, waiting to see how it would end, her anticipation for the song BlackVelvet had created to sing at the wedding so high that she couldn’t even pause the video.

When it finally came to the final moments of the video, when BlackVelvet stopped his performance to give a speech to the bride and groom, Sarah started to get emotional even before he started singing.

Just seeing him say a few nice, polite words to the bride and groom made her think it was for her and her husband, which made her very happy.

Even more so when she saw the bride’s face when she heard this, the emotions in Sarah’s body became more and more uncontrollable.

The problem was that when BlackVelvet started to sing the song and she heard the chorus, the tears in her eyes couldn’t be held back anymore and Sarah started to cry.

🎼🎶🎤

Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I’ll give my all to you

You’re my end and my beginning

Even when I lose, I’m winning

Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh-oh

🎼🎶🎤

The part where BlackVelvet sang the song only lasted a few seconds, it was just the beginning of the song and the chorus of the song, which wasn’t very long.

But it was enough to make Sarah’s eyes water, especially when she saw how happy and emotional the bride and groom were as they embraced, Sarah became even more emotional to the point of crying so hard that she was sobbing.

Her eyes were so blurry that she couldn’t even see the date of the official song release, which was the following day, Saturday.

Unknown to Sarah, her husband had just come home from work a few minutes earlier.

Michael worked as an accountant in a bank, which wasn’t a bad job, but he was often forced to stay late to deal with client problems, and this caused a lot of conflict between him and Sarah.

When he came home and didn’t find his fiancée, which was strange because she always heard him coming and came to greet him, Michael ran into their bedroom where Sarah usually stayed and looked in worriedly but tried to keep quiet so she wouldn’t see that he was there.

He wanted to know why she hadn’t come to see him before talking to her.

Luckily for him, she was standing with her back to the door, so he had a perfect view of the video she was watching.

Seeing that it was a wedding thing, Michael had to stop himself from laughing, knowing how excited she was about it and how cute she looked because of it.

Since Sarah didn’t see him at the door, Michael just stayed quiet and watched the video with her.

Like Sarah, Michael was surprised by the difficulties and challenges a singer has while performing and was very impressed by this BlackVelvet.

As someone who worked in a bank and dealt with different types of people every day, seeing someone like BlackVelvet who was very good at something he didn’t even know he needed to be good at gave Michael a very high level of confidence in BlackVelvet.

As if knowing something that no one talked about showed how professional he was, because while other artists didn’t even talk about it, for BlackVelvet it was the main focus of improvement at every show.

When BlackVelvet finally sang the last song of the video, Michael couldn’t help himself, just like Sarah, and felt tears welling up in his eyes as he imagined that this song was made especially for him and Sarah.

Without Sarah noticing, Michael wrote down the name BlackVelvet on his cell phone and decided that he would contact the singer’s agency to hire him to sing at his wedding.

Even though there was already another singer scheduled to sing at the wedding, Michael wasn’t worried about spending a little extra and changing the singer in the last few hours.

It wouldn’t be a problem to have the original singer sing for the first few hours if that singer couldn’t get the guests going, at least he had BlackVelvet to sing afterwards, who seemed to handle it well from what he saw in the video.

With that said, Michael put his cell phone away and slowly walked inside to hug Sarah and spend a romantic moment together while listening to All Of Me again, finally realizing the song’s release time and deciding that they would go on a romantic date tomorrow to listen to the song’s release together.
