The rest of the evaluation went pretty smoothly, and overall, Ari thought he had done really well during the evaluation.
He had sang exactly the way he wanted to, the rapping portion had gone well, and the dance was quite flawless if he said so himself.
To add icing on the cake, Jelissa had somehow come back to be a judge, so the previous weight that he would be fighting against Larry Jackson and possibly Jaywalk's biases against him was gone as well, because Jelissa had always been fair and always spoke up to give contestants points for the things they did well.
Now it was all left to the judges.
As he left the room with the remaining contestants, he gave Jelissa a bright smile before walking quickly to grab Daniel Kim by his hoodie.
"Oi, Daniel. Let's talk. Privately."
The Korean boy took one look at Ari's face and began to hiccup with teary eyes.
"…please don't hit me hic. And if you hit me not in the face, hic."
Ari: ಠ_ಠ
What is wrong with you people?
