"Thank you, Miss Iris," the defending champion said. Although she was fighting back tears, she still managed to smile.
Finally, it was time to calculate the judges' scores for the defending champion. The average score of the three judges was 7.5 points.
"We have a new winner!" Master Beauty exclaimed.
The poor farmer gasped and started sobbing. The previous defending champion also wiped her flowing tears but still went to hug the new champion.
Iris Long nodded, satisfied by the previous defending champion's good sportsmanship.
All three judges also stood up and clapped their hands along with everybody in the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up for our new champion!"
The poor farmer took centre stage once again and began singing his winning song again. Through his tears, he managed to deliver a solid performance.
