I take my whiskey neat...

My coffee black and my bed at three...

You're too sweet for me...

You're too sweet for me...

🎼🎶🎤

When I finished singing the song and looked at the audience's reaction, I realized that this was my song that they liked the most all night.

Out of 3,000 people, only a small group had been chatting in the background while I was singing, while the vast majority of people had been concentrating on me while I was singing.

Receiving a warning through my headset that Dark Pistol were ready to enter the stage, I nodded in understanding and began to say goodbye to the crowd.

"Thanks for your support guys, this was my last song of the night, if you liked it you can search for BlackVelvet on all the social networks and you'll find my profile there." I smiled as I bowed slightly to the crowd before leaving the stage.

When people heard I was leaving, they applauded in appreciation.

As I left the stage with Mark and Frank, the show's production team quickly went on stage to remove Mark and Frank's instruments, while other people quickly brought out Dark Pistol's instruments.

Unfortunately I didn't catch up with them as I left the stage, they might have been somewhere else making some final adjustments for the show.

So I just went back to my dressing room with Mark, Frank and Jason.

"Hey Jason, how was taping the show?" I asked.

"It was amazing! I was able to get a lot of cool footage because there was such a big crowd... even for the song Too Sweet, I think it's going to be one of the coolest concert videos because there's such a big and diverse crowd". He said excitedly, making me nod in satisfaction.

"Did you enjoy the show?" I looked at Mark and Frank who were tired.

"It was a very different feeling to play for such a big audience... I loved it!" Mark said excitedly, although he was quite sweaty. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Considering he was playing the drums, the instrument he had to move the most while playing each note, it was understandable how sweaty he was.

"I liked it too... it's a lot of fun to play when so many people are singing along... it must be even cooler when the audience is at the gig for you". Frank commented as well, which made me nod.

Even though it was great to play for the crowd today, not many people could sing my songs.

It must have been even more incredible to play in front of such a large audience that was there just to see me.

Can you imagine the feeling of 3,000 people singing your song? Just thinking about it gave me goose bumps.

When we got to the dressing room, Selena was waiting for us with a smile on her face as she looked at the TV.

This TV was broadcasting the image of two cameras, one showing the stage and the other showing the audience.

So, even though she was in the dressing room, Selena was able to see our entire show, as well as the audience's reaction to the entire show.

"This new song of yours is amazing...even though I've already heard the audio you sent me this week, seeing it in a live show is so much better." She said with a thumbs up to me.

I smiled and returned the gesture.

"I think we can make an MV for this song too, what do you think?" She asked, surprising me.

Since I had only made three MVs so far, The Lazy Song and Boyfriend with the animation I made, and Bailando, I hadn't thought much about making MVs for the songs.

But considering the public's reception of this song and the unique lyrics, it wouldn't be a bad idea. "I think it could be a good idea." I nodded.

"Or maybe... we could make an album... you already have a lot of songs, most of them don't even have MVs, so we could put the most compatible songs together and release it as an album while we record the MVs for all of them, what do you think? It's going to be expensive, but considering how much you already make from everything and that the cost will be split between you and AJP, the price might not be that high. Selena said, surprising me.

I hadn't thought about it, but it's true.

There were songs I didn't have a music video for, like Numb and In The End, which were just pictures of drawings I did at the beginning of my career with the song playing in the background, while the newer songs at least had recordings of me singing them live.

Although it wasn't as bad as the first songs, it still wasn't something that could really go viral like the songs with real music videos.

So it's no wonder that "The Lazy Song" currently has almost 5 million views and "Numb" is struggling to reach 2 million, while that song had over 2 billion views in my previous world.

The big problem with that would be the price.

If I were to make music videos for all my songs, I would probably spend an average of $10,000 for each song, considering that I would already be paying half of the total amount since AJP would already be paying the other half.

That's just to make music videos of basic quality; if I were to focus on incredible qualities like the big artists, the amount would be at least ten times higher.

But even so, considering that I already have 10 songs, if I were to record music videos for those 10 songs, it would mean an investment of $100,000.

Thinking about my bank account, which only had $18,000 in it, and the other $15,000 I had set aside for learning investments, that meant I only had $33,000 available, enough for 3 music videos...

Apparently wondering what I was thinking, Selena suggested. "Now that you're getting paid well at shows and on MeTube, we already have a base of financial stability, I believe AJP would have no problem paying for these music videos and you would pay AJP your half of the amount in installments."

When I heard that, my eyes lit up because if that was possible, it would be great for me because I could even use the income from the music videos to pay AJP my share.

Of course, those 10 songs would have to get at least 120 million views in total for me to get the 100k to pay AJP, but considering the popularity I'd get from those songs, making my vlogs even more profitable with the new audience that would come in, that would already greatly reduce the amount of money I'd need to be able to pay that.

"I think that's a good idea... I'm going to write down some ideas for music videos for the songs and send them to you so you can tell me what you think, how about that?" I commented, causing Selena to nod in satisfaction.

I was also able to confirm whether all the songs needed music videos, since the animation I did for The Lazy Song, although in a different style, was very well received, so whether or not my face was in the song wasn't something I thought would affect the song's performance.

Boyfriend, on the other hand, definitely needed a more attractive MV, as the animation I made was performing very poorly on the channel.

1.3 million views in two months, a number that could be considered a great success on other channels, wasn't that appealing to me.

Especially compared to the live version of the same song, which already had 2.5 million views.

While we were talking about it, Frank, Mark and even Jason gave us some ideas for the videos, some that didn't make sense, but some that were very good, so I paid attention to them all and wrote down everything that would be useful for the future.

I didn't even pay attention to the Dark Pistol show that was on TV.

The only time I paid attention was when I heard them say "In The End".

Hearing the name of my song, the five of us in the room stopped talking and turned our attention to the TV.

I was really curious to see how a famous band like Dark Pistol would cover my song, so I smiled as I looked at the TV and watched their show.

When they started singing, I noticed that they changed the tone of the song a bit to suit the vocal range of the band's lead singer, which I found very interesting.

But otherwise, their performance and the overall style of the song was identical to mine, which left me a little disappointed.

They even copied some of my mannerisms while I was singing this song, which made the situation a little awkward.

"Are they really copying you completely in the song?" Mark asked in shock.

"I guess so?" I replied confused.

But the strangest part came after they finished singing.

"That song was In The End, available right now on our social networks and in our store for you to buy for just $1. Thanks for your support guys!" The band's lead singer said with a smile before starting to sing another song.

But when I heard him reveal this, I froze and looked at Selena in confusion.

And the look I saw on Selena's face made me feel like a lion was on the loose.

She was angry...
