Gamer Superstar-Chapter 26: - The difference in The Lazy Song
Chapter 26: 26 - The difference in The Lazy Song
"I'm the original singer of The Lazy Song." Noah said in a confident voice, causing a smile to appear on Quacktus' face and the chat messages to quickly increase.
[What do you mean you're the original singer?]
[Stop lying, obviously Logan is the original singer of the song].
[What an idiot, he must be a frustrated singer who wants to surf on Logan's hype by lying that he's the original singer of the song].
[How many stupid comments, you haven't even seen any proof and you already believe that Logan is the original singer].
[I was here when the Lazy Song was first sung, I can confirm that BlackVelvet is indeed the original singer of that song].
[Do you have proof?]
"Do you see these comments, BV? They want to know if you have proof." Quacktus said, laughing.
It was obvious why he was happy, the number of viewers on the stream was already 10,000, and it was getting higher and higher.
I also laughed and replied, "Of course, the first proof is that the first time the song appeared on the Internet was on your stream, Quacktus, where I sang it to win your talent show.
Nodding his head, Quacktus agreed. "Yes, from what I saw, the first time Logan sang the song was the day after my stream where you first sang it."
[You just heard the song somewhere else and sang it at the talent show!]
[If you were that talented, you wouldn't be unknown].
[Two idiots trying to ride the Logan hype!]
[How many clowns comment defending that asshole Logan...]
[F]
When I saw that there were still people who didn't want to believe me, I wasn't surprised, because I already expected this kind of brainless fans to come after seeing how much my stories were shared.
"Of course, aside from the proof that the moment I sang the song was before anyone else in the world had sung it for the first time, the audio of the song that went viral and the audio of the stream I sang are exactly the same, I have other proof." I said confidently.
Hearing this, Quacktus became interested because he didn't know what my other proof was.
"You know there is such a thing as copyright, right Quacktus?" I asked with a smile that they couldn't see because I didn't show my face, but they could tell by my voice.
"Sure, I've already lost the monetization of some videos by putting copyrighted music in the background..." He replied.
"Right, in addition to the copyright of a song, the lyrics can also be copyrighted, and as the original singer of the song, of course I have that too." I said as I sent Quacktus the proof of the song's copyright in the stream with my personal information blurred out.
Seeing this, not only was Quacktus surprised that I had registered the copyright for this song after I sang it on the stream, but the audience was also surprised that I actually had proof that I was the real owner of this song!
[What?]
[What do you mean?!]
[OMG]
[LOL, I knew you had hard proof!]
[That's a lie!]
"Hey BlackVelvet, it seems there are still people who don't believe that the song was originally written by you, how about singing it again for them to hear?" Quacktus asked.
"No problem." I replied as I picked up my guitar.
"Just ask me one question BlackVelvet, why haven't you recorded this song and posted it officially on your MeTube channel and your Spokify?" Quacktus asked, genuinely curious.
This was not only his question, but also the question of several people in the chat.
"As you might have noticed from the quality of my voice, I sing by recording everything on my cell phone while playing a guitar I bought used since I don't have much money to invest in my career... since I won the microphone you gave away as a prize, I was planning to wait for the microphone to arrive and record the song in the best possible quality to post as a surprise for the public haha... too bad I had to stop that surprise because there's someone pretending to be the original singer of the song". I replied sincerely because it was really my idea.
My mission looked like this before the stream started.
[Current loyal fans: 2,423/5,000].
So I planned to increase the popularity of my persona to get more audiences and more fans before releasing the next song, which would give time for the new microphone to arrive and for me to record Lazy Song with the new microphone.
[Current loyal fans: 2,991/5,000].
The number of loyal fans has increased a lot since I started the stream, mainly because the trust that more people have in me has increased even more, so the number has increased a lot.
Of course, it's worth pointing out that I don't think these loyal fans that System is talking about are hardcore fans like those of the most popular pop singers, where girls stand in line for days to get a ticket to a sold-out concert.
I think these Loyal Fans are people who like my music, identify with what I sing, and are interested in what I put out next.
Because they are loyal, I think that even if I release a song similar to another artist with similar relevance to mine, they will give me more preference because they like my music more, but if an artist they have followed for years released a song at the same time, they would probably still prefer the old artist.
Which I don't mind, because it would be very strange to get hardcore fans with only two songs, haha.
"So that's why you didn't record the song!" Quacktus listened to my explanation and finally understood.
And like him, several people in the chat also understood.
[So that's why I looked for the song on your Spokify account and couldn't find it!]
[Damn, I thought I was on the wrong channel when I saw the difference between the songs you sang on your MeTube channel and Lazy Song, apparently it was the right channel, but you just hadn't posted the right song yet!]
[What a lie, stop telling lies!]
Ignoring the hateful comments, I began to strum my guitar masterfully, creating the happy rhythm of the song once again.
But this time, I had prepared something new.
Unlike the first time I played the Lazy Song on Quacktus' stream, this time I'd practiced it a few times and the quality was much better!
Not to mention that the song Logan sang had a flaw!
The original The Lazy Song that I sang was 3 minutes long, but the clip that Logan heard was only 30 seconds long, so he had to make up the rest of the song himself, and the quality was terrible.
So for the stream, which currently had 14,000 people watching, this was probably the first time for 70% of those people that they'd heard the real song in its entirety.
??????
"Today, I'm feeling quite lazy, it's true...
Just wanna stay cozy in my room..."
[...]
??????
The beginning of the song, leading up to the first chorus, was the only part of the original song that went viral.
But after hearing that part of the song, viewers began to realize something.
[Haha, I missed hearing you sing that BV song!]
[Wait, looking closely... it seems that this voice actually sounds more like the song that went viral!]
[Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Before I really thought the song was sung by Logan, but listening to this guy sing it now, the song actually sounds more like his voice than Logan's!]
[I still think it sounds more like Logan than this guy's voice].
??????
"Oh-oh, yes I said it, I said it, I'm saying it loud and clear... Sing with me!
Today, I'm feeling quite lazy, it's true...
Just wanna stay cozy in my room...
No desire to grab my phone, no buzz or ring...
So just leave a message, let it ding...
'Cause today, I promise, I won't do a thing..."
??????
When I sang the end of the first chorus of the song, the chat was full of viewers sending emoticons dancing and making out while I was singing, which made me want to sing even more.
[+1 Sing]
[+1 CHA]
I was so focused on singing that I didn't even notice these notifications popping up in front of me.
Especially since it was the second part of the song, something that hadn't gone viral, so these people didn't know what I was going to sing.
??????
Tomorrow, I'll rise early, hit up some P90X
Meet a lovely lady, engage in some sweet, wild sex
And she'll scream out, "This is heaven, pure bliss!"
(Oh, my God, this is bliss) yeah
??????
To my surprise, the part where I usually did a funny singing voice, just like the original singer of the song in my old world, wasn't me this time.
The voice that sang that part actually came from my side with Olivia holding her nose and singing that part, which for some reason, the way she spoke sounded very familiar to me.
Surprised, I looked at her and had to stop myself from laughing, while she also cracked a smile and smiled at me, apparently proud of having sung this part of the song.
-------- Olivia's Commentary --------
Sitting on the sofa while controlling her laughter, Olivia looked at the camera and confessed.
"Don't let my mom hear this, when Noah sang that part in a funny voice the first time, the first thing I thought was that this would be really good with my mom's voice complaining." She said laughing out loud but trying to control herself.
"Whenever my mom used to fight with me when I was a kid, I would run out of the room repeating what she said while covering my nose and trying to imitate the way she talks. From what I saw in Noah's expression, I think he realized who I was imitating Haha!" Olivia laughed even harder.
Even though her relationship with her mother had improved over the last few days, it was impossible to repair everything so quickly, so Olivia still had moments like this when she had fun making fun of her mother to vent some of her frustration.
-------- Commentary End --------
Focusing again on the song I was singing so as not to waste time, I continued.
??????
Maybe I'll even earn that college degree...
I know my old man will beam with pride, you see...
But sorry, pops, patience is the key...
??????
While listening to these new parts of the song, various comments appeared on the screen.
[Wow, this version of the song sounds funnier!]
[Funny? My mom is mad that I listened to a song that said "sex" at full volume and now she's hitting me].
[LOL, I've never heard this version before, the part with the girl screaming is really good!]
[I still prefer Logan's version...]
[Listening to this version of the song, it sounds like Logan's version is a $2 store bought version of the original song!]
??????
"Oh-oh, yes I said it, I said it, I'm saying it loud and clear...
Today, I'm feeling quite lazy, it's true...
Just wanna stay cozy in my room...
No desire to grab my phone, no buzz or ring...
So just leave a message, let it ding...
'Cause today, I promise, I won't do a thing..."
??????
When it got to the chorus that the audience knew, I could see the emoticons popping up again in the chat, encouraging me to keep singing.
Throughout the 3 minutes of the song, I saw many people changing their minds and realizing that my lyrics were much more compatible with the song than Logan's version.
And as I watched my mission numbers go up, an even bigger smile appeared on my face.
