Chaiman Lockwood seemed particularly eager for this last auditionee
“Who’s the last one?”
Assistant said, “Xanthea.”
Xanthea?
He vaguely remembered her as the surprise winner on “The Masked Singer, stunning in appearance, but her affluent air didn’t quite match the character of Phoenix, and her performance was likely to be just another predictable singing act.
