Actually, it wasn't that Xia Yu's voice was unpleasant.
Her voice was simply not one that stood out particularly, but it wasn't bad. If she was able to harness it properly, she would still gather quite a following of fans. The bad thing was that her opponent this time was Xia Ling. Getting onstage as the audience was still reveling in Xia Ling's angel-like voice, the comparison was just too stark, oh no, it was courting death…
Who else would the audience criticize but her?
"This is horrible. How dare she compete with our Xiao Ling with a voice like that?!" One of Ye Xingling's loyal fans remarked.
