3.37% His Genius Wife is a Superstar / Chapter 55: I Will Survive

Bab 55: I Will Survive

After the initial interview, Iris performed "Phantom of Your Love" to promote her upcoming album "Rebirth".

DJ Song looked solemn as he watched and listened to her singing opposite him with so much emotion. Some of the staff, especially the female ones, working on the other side of the studio's glass partition were crying as they listened to such a heartbreaking song.

Tang Yiyi and Dom were with the staff. Dom clasped his hands tightly together while looking at his boss like a proud mama. He would wipe tears from his red eyes with a handkerchief now and then.

After the song, DJ Song interviewed her again briefly about "Phantom of Your Love."

Iris: "This is actually the song that I performed when Mr. JJ dared me at the restaurant."

DJ Song: "Oh really? So this is your audition song. Now I see why Old J would sign you up after hearing you sing this song. Wow. Such a beautiful song, Iris. Now I really believe that you have talent as a composer."

Iris: "Thank you very much, DJ Song. I appreciate it. But I know that I still have a long way to go, so I will work harder."

DJ Song: "Good to hear. So what are you going to sing for us next, Iris?"

Iris: "I'm going to sing a cover."

DJ Song: "Oh? Interesting. What is it?"

Iris: "It's an English song. I won't say the title because I think that everyone will recognize it once I start singing."

DJ Song: "Now I'm getting excited. Can you tell us why you chose to sing this cover?"

Iris: "All the songs from my album 'Rebirth' are very emotional, so I thought that I should sing something upbeat for a change of pace. And also the song itself, especially the title when you hear me sing it shortly, is relevant to me…to what happened to me. It is also to show my determination in coming back."

DJ Song: "Alright. Let's hear it, then. Ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up again for Iris Long!"

A familiar piano melody reverberated, then the beat changed and Iris began singing this classic English song.

"At first I was afraid, I was petrified…"

DJ Song's eyebrows rose and his entire face brightened. The staff, Dom and Tang Yiyi began cheering and clapping on the other side of the glass partition. Their bodies started to bounce in time with the beat of the music.

"I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive

I will survive, hey, hey!"

Iris was dancing while singing on her seat. She performed like it was a concert, gesturing and looking at her audience. DJ Song was clearly enjoying himself. She turned and saw her manager and assistant together with the staff on the other side of the glass partition. Dom was busting his best moves, shaking his booty.

Everyone was enjoying themselves. Even the cameraman couldn't help but shake his hips, but had to hold himself back because viewers would complain if the camera view wasn't steady. It was very difficult not to dance with this song.

It was at this moment that the listener and viewer counts skyrocketed.

The musical arrangement was a little different from the original version. Iris personally customized it for herself. She removed the original disco vibe and made it sound more modern. It showcased the power and range of her vocals, even adding a small portion to display some unexpected vocal acrobatics, reaching such high notes that shocked everyone.

DJ Song abruptly stood up from his seat, his eyes and mouth wide open, as he looked in shock at Iris. He felt goosebumps all over his body.

"I will survive!"

When the song ended, everyone stood up, clapping and cheering enthusiastically.

Iris also stood up and bowed to everyone. She waved to the cameraman, to the online viewers watching the livestream.

Iris: "Thank you. Thank you very much!"

Her light laughter tinkled like crystal bells. She also enjoyed herself.

It took almost a minute before DJ song was able to regain his senses.

DJ Song: "Wow. Wow! What was that? What just happened? Iris Long, you are on fire! Amazing!"

Iris: "Thank you, DJ Song."

DJ Song: "You are so full of surprises. I am so shocked. I'm sure everyone is as shocked as everyone of us here in the studio. Wow."

They talked for a few more moments.

For her final song, Iris sang another song from her album. She sang "Black Star". It was currently the most anticipated song from her album, especially after her performance on last night's episode of "MusicFest Tonight".

After singing, Iris and DJ Song talked a bit more before easing to the end of the radio show. Iris said a few words to promote her album before saying her thanks and goodbye to the listeners and the online viewers.

Finally, the radio show ended and everyone stood up and clapped. DJ Song, especially the staff, were all feeling ecstatic because they didn't expect to receive such high listener and viewer counts for this episode.

It may not be a record-breaker, but it was already impressive especially when the guest was not an A-lister.

The anticipation towards Iris Long's upcoming album "Rebirth" exploded almost to fever pitch. Its momentum was unstoppable.

Bab 56: The Black Stars

Online during the radio show livestream.

"Is this a joke? DJ Song actually invited Iris Long to guest in his show?"

"I'm so disappointed. Did he run out of good artists to invite over?"

"He's one of the most respected music critics in the country, but now I think his judgment is becoming questionable. Such a shame that his standards fell to such a degree as to invite someone like Iris Long."

"Hey! Did you not watch Iris Long's performance on 'MusicFest Tonight' last night? If you did, I don't think that you'll still be spouting all that sh*t."

"Oh oh! I watched last night's episode of 'MusicFest Tonight'. Iris Long was amazing!"

"I can't count how many times I watched the recording of her performance last night online. 'Black Star' is stuck in my head!"

"What are you all talking about? I didn't watch her last night. Was her performance really good?"

"Not just good. It was fantastic. Watch it. Here's the link."

After a few minutes...

"Oh my god! Seriously?"

"Ahahaha! I told you."

The livestream reached the part when Iris was talking about her experience working with JJ.

"I don't believe it. She says that she fought with JJ? Hah! I'll eat my slippers if this is true."

"Hey! I remember you. You're here again. You said that you'll eat your slippers if it's proven that Iris is really the one who composed the songs in her album and not a ghost composer. An intern from JJ's record label already proved it, so did you eat your slippers then? Show us the proof! Now you're saying that you'll eat slippers again. You must really like slippers ah."

In response, this particular netizen changed his username to "iEatSlippers" and posted a photo of himself from below the nose to his chest, not showing his whole face. It showed himself chewing on a slipper.

"Ahahaha! Aiyo. @iEatSlippers, you're a real man! Yes, real men should keep their promises."

In the livestream, Iris began singing "Phantom of Your Love".

"Damn it! Who's cutting onions?!"

"My manly tears can't be stopped."

"What is this song? So heartbreaking. I can't stop crying!"

"So beautiful. Hai. Makes me remember a lot of old memories."

"It's so depressing but so beautiful."

"I can just imagine this song as a theme song of a movie. A tragic love story."

The livestream now reached the part when Iris was singing "I Will Survive".

"!!!"

"Oh my god!"

"This is f*cking awesome!"

"It sounds a bit different from the original. I love it!"

"What the?! What am I hearing? She can even do that? Is that even humanly possible?"

"Whoa! Listen to those high notes. How high did she reach that part?"

"I don't care what others say. You're now my idol, Iris!"

"Iris Long, please marry me!"

"Converted Iris Long fan here!"

Many of the online viewers messaged their own friends to watch the livestream.

"Hey, check out the livestream of DJ Song's radio show. Iris Long is the guest and she's killing it!"

"First, it was last night's performance on 'MusicFest Tonight'. Now she's conquering DJ Song's radio show. Iris can't be stopped!"

"Goddess Iris, I prostrate myself to you! My blind eyes have been opened to your awesomeness."

"This is the best version of 'I Will Survive' that I have ever heard in my life. Honestly!"

"Damn! I came only now. I want to watch from the beginning. I can watch this livestream again when it's over, right?"

"Yeah, we can watch the recording afterwards. I'm also planning to rewatch it. This is amazing!"

More and more listeners and viewers tuned in to both the radio and the online livestream, curious as to why so many people were talking about it and inviting others to check it out.

Finally, it reached the part when Iris sang "Black Star".

"Oh yes! She's singing my new favourite song now!"

"Here comes my personal anthem!"

"Shower me with courage and inspiration, oh Great Black Star!"

"I'm crying."

"Please release 'Rebirth' now! I can't wait anymore!"

"Wow. The quality of her vocals is even better now that she's just focused on singing and not playing the piano at the same time."

CaptainBlackStar: "I hereby establish the new Iris Long fan club. We will be called the Black Stars! Message me to sign up!"

"Me me me! Lemme join!"

MrsLovePhantom: "Finally, I've been waiting to hear 'Phantom of Your Love' again ever since I heard Miss Long singing it at that restaurant. Hearing her talk about it in the interview, I'm quite proud that I personally witnessed her 'audition' to Mr. JJ. I've been a fan of Miss Iris Long since that moment, so of course I'll join this Black Stars fan club. Let me know how I can be of help with the fan club's establishment."

CaptainBlackStar: "@MrsLovePhantom Thank you! Please accept my friend request and then we can discuss."

JJNumber1Fan: "We promised our idol JJ that we'll support Iris Long. We'll follow our sister @MrsLovePhantom and join Black Stars fan club!"

JJNumber2Fan: "Yeah! We'll follow our sister @MrsLovePhantom and support Iris Long. I love you, JJ!"

JJNumber3Fan: "Agreed! Wherever our sister @MrsLovePhantom goes, we'll go too. Make 'Rebirth' the number 1 album! JJ, I framed the dress that you signed that day!"

CaptainBlackStar: "Wow! @MrsLovePhantom, you brought a lot of people. Thank you very much for the help, ladies. Please accept my friend requests."

"Signed up! Old fan here but seeing the new Iris, I've now turned into a diehard fan! Iris 4evah!"

"Signed up! New fan here! I heart Iris Long!"

"Signed up! WE LOVE IRIS LONG!!!"

iEatSlippers: "Might as well sign up too. *munching on a slipper*"

It was at this historical moment that Iris' strongest and most loyal group of supporters was born.
