Meanwhile, Jin Yang's "Hey, It's Me" had viewers crying, smiling, and clutching their chests like they'd just been reminded why they loved music in the first place.
Their songs were complete opposites.
One was a storm of controlled chaos, technical brilliance, and theatrical darkness.
The other was warm, clean, honest, and quietly powerful.
People couldn't decide which was better.
Someone eventually posted an online poll titled:
"Which song is better?"
The results so far were:
67.14% - "Hey, It's Me" by Jin Yang
32.86% - "Monster of Insanity" by Elena Zhang and Pandemonium
Jin Yang was winning.
But no one found it surprising. His fanbase alone was enormous, and his loyal supporters were already treating the poll like a sacred battle.
The Black Stars and Pandemonium fans fought back, of course, but the numbers were simply uneven.
Still, industry insiders laughed at the poll.
"This means nothing," some said. "The real result will be on the charts."
And they were right.
