Chance pov.
I was a judge for a show that was a lot like the Voice. We were called Sing. Really original I know. Anyway, most of the time we have country, or pop singers. Not every more rock or that time of music. You have to sing a song for us. And from there we decided if you leave or stay. We do three levels and then if your in the finals you have to sing on final song.
As usual we have a handful of country stars and a shit load of pop stars come out, but the last boy was different.
He was dressed in a black suit. He had black hair and dark brown eyes. He was a pale olive complexion. He had more of a smirk than as smile.
My cohost to my left ask, "What's your name sweet pea?"
He came up to the mic and said in a full voice, "Nico di Angelo."
She the said, "Well go ahead and sing for us."
He sang in a sad deep broken voice.
(Necessary Evil by Motionless in White)
"Strip off the weight of morality and check it at the toll
I'll show you the worst in me (what I've become)
Blow out the candles, I need not a wish for I am everything
Now crawl to my boots and lick (kneel before me)
Imma have my cake and fucking eat you too
It's my party and I'll die when I want to
Die when I want to, die when I want to
The monster you've made is wearing the crown
I'll be the king and you'll be the clown
I'll take the blame, parade it around
You've made me the villain you can't live without
Reciting violence like poetry, no, you can't sit with us
Too fashionably plain (now say my name)
Forget everything you think you knew of who I used to be
I look much better as... as the enemy
Imma have my fucking cake and eat yours too
It's my party and I'll die when I want to
Die when I want to, die when I want to
The monster you've made is wearing the crown
I'll be the king and you'll be the clown
I'll take the blame, parade it around
You've made me the villain you can't live without
I want you low
I won't let you die
Keep you alive
Just to remind you of what you are not
It's my party, I'll die when I want to
You wanna see me fail, but I won't die for you
It's my party and I'll die when I want to
Die when I want to, die when I want to
The monster you've made is wearing the crown
I'll be the king and you'll be the clown
It's my party and I'll die when I want to
Die when I want to, die when I want to
I want you low
Imma have my cake and fucking eat you too"
I clapped loudly and the crowd was even happy to hear something over than the same old crappy pop songs.
He smiled his little smirk and my cohost to my right said, "Well it looks like we will see you next week!"

The next week
We suffered through all the other artists when put came Nico Thai week he was dressed in black skinny jeans and a dark blue dress shirt. He still wore the same smirk.
This time I asked, "So Nico what do you do for a living?"
He asked, "I work for my dad's business and go to college."
I smiled and said, "Well then sing on!"
He stepped forward and sang his heart out.
(Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day)
"I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
Of what's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone..."
Again the crowd went wilded and I heard someone shout, "I love you Nico!"
I couldn't wait to hear him next week!
•TimeSkip•
The next week
I had waited all night to see Nico preform he was my favorite just so different from everyone else. Today was you and a friend perform.
He was the last to perform and this time he walked out in black skinny jeans that had little white sculls all over them. His shirt was a "Normal people scary me shirt" and this thin he had a little black piecing through this eyebrow.
Picture below⬇️ of his piecing
He's friend walked out in black skinny jeans and a Nirvana shirt.
Nico said, "This is my cousin Percy!"
Today the girl to my right asked, "So you in a relationship sugar?"
He smiled faintly and said, "Yeah and he's here tonight."
The girls beside me's faces dropped and I asked, "Will Nico's special friend stand up!"
A guy near the front stood up. He had blond hair and bright blue eyes. He waved and the crowd awed.
I then after the guys had sat back down I said, "Okay Nico and Percy sing for us!
And boy they did."

[Vic Fuentes & Kellin Quinn]
Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge?
I bet you never had a Friday night like this
Keep it up, keep it up, let's raise our hands
I take a look up at the sky and I see red
Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy
Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide
Everything red
[Kellin Quinn]
Please, won't you push me for the last time
Let's scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr, I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done
[Vic Fuentes]
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
[Vic Fuentes]
The thing I think I love
Will surely bring me pain
Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame
Three cheers for throwing up
Pubescent drama queen
You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late
[Kellin Quinn]
Scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want to anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done
[Vic Fuentes]
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
[Kellin Quinn]
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
And if the bass shakes the earth underground
We'll start a new revolution now
(Now! Alright here we go)
[Vic Fuentes]
Hail Mary, forgive me
Blood for blood, hearts beating
Come at me, now this is war!
Fuck with this new beat
Oh!
[Kellin Quinn & Vic Fuentes]
Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein
I was just a product of the street youth rage
Born in this world without a voice or say
Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
I know you well but this ain't a game
Blow the smoke in diamond shape
Dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace
[Vic Fuentes]
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
[Kellin Quinn]
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
We are the shadows screaming take us now
[Vic Fuentes]
We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground!
Shit!
They bowed and waved them walked off. Again the crowd went nuts and I grinned!
We had all the contests come out and Nico and two others were picked to go to the final round!
•Timeskip•
This was Nico's last performance and he came ready. He walked out on stage in combat boots and black leather pants. He had on an Iron Maiden shirt and looked ready to kick ass.
We got right into tonight and he began to sing!
(Sound of Silence by Disturbed)
"Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"
The last calls came to the stage and finally the winner was announced.
It was....
.....
.....
....
Nico!
For being the winner the crowd cheer for an encore.
He smiled and said, "Only if Will can come to the stage"
The blond boy from before was brought up to the stage and Nico said into the mic, "My mother used to sing me this."
Then he sang
"Did you ever think as a hearse goes by,
That you may be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a big white sheet,
From your head down to your feet,
And worms crawl in and worms crawl out,
In your stomach and out your stout,
And your eyes fall out and your teeth decay-
And that's the end of a perfect day."
Nico smiled shyly and said, "Sorry that's a I could think of."
He then turned to Will and got down on one knee and said, "My handsome boyfriend of many years would you do me the absolute pleasure of marrying me?"
Will grabbed Nico in a hug and said, "Of course."
Sadly that was the last season of Sing, but I'm very glad that I got to meet Nico.
