Chapter 1741 1741 Authoritative Certification

Los Angeles is buzzing again, not only because the annual Grammys are here, but it also means that the shocking Battle of the Century in 1996 will be authoritatively certified on the official stage; and it is also driven from Europe because of the glory to the death. Coming back, he will appear on the Grammy stage, continuing the momentum of the ultimate showdown.

Not long ago, the thirty-ninth Grammys announced this year's nominees, and the most notable of them are undoubtedly the troika of Glory to Death, Mariah Carey and Oasis.

Throughout the ages, the Grammys, like the Oscars, have many top masters who have never been recognized by a gramophone, such as Queen, such as the West Side Boys, such as the Backstreet Boys, such as Led Zeppelin, such as Fifty Cents, such as the Doors... But It is undeniable that, as the most commercial and topical top professional awards ceremony in the world, the Grammys are very authoritative, professional and important.

Grammy's recognition also means the general trend of the entire market and professional opinions. As expected, the Troika joined forces to win twenty-five nominations, which can almost be said to have formed a sweeping trend, becoming the most shining existence in the nomination list. The competition between the iron triangles has continued from the sales market to the word-of-mouth market, and now it continues to the professional market, which also makes the competition of this Grammy full of countless highlights-aside from the market feedback, who can it be this time? Last laugh?

Judging from the nomination list, Glory to Death once again continued its strength!

The critically acclaimed album "Rainstorm" is no doubt put in contention in the rock sector, but the singles "Falling. Slowly" and "Say. Something" Songs were classified as pop, and "Waiting. On. The. World. To. Change" was considered R&B.

"Rainstorm" has received three nominations in the four comprehensive awards, including the best album of the year, the best single of the year, and the best production of the year. Best Rock Band, Best Hard Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Album -- with a double nomination for Best Rock Song, "Young. Volcanoes" and "Sail" into the final five.

In the rock department with the essential attributes of Glory to Death, they can be said to be majestic and have won almost every project nomination that can be entered. further expansion.

In addition, "Say Something" was nominated for Best Pop Group Group -- and the Beatles, who won the nomination for "Free. As. A. Bird," are in contention for the award. It's a really hilarious situation, two rock bands that have played an important role in the history of music, but are shortlisted for pop nominations - of course, the Smashed Pumpkins are also shortlisted for best pop chorus, so it's not huge Accident.

"Waiting for the world to change" made the final five for best R&B song, plus a nomination for best feature-length music video for the live version of "Voyage" and Hugo's Non-Classical of the Year Producer. This brings the Glory to Death Grammy nominations to twelve in one fell swoop!

twelve! A full twelve nominations, which not only include three of the four most important comprehensive awards, but also span the three sectors of rock, pop, and rhythm and blues. Being shortlisted for Non-Classical Producer of the Year as an individual is without a doubt the Grammy's most important affirmation of Glory to Death.

As a singer and a producer, Hugo has injected unimaginable vitality into the glory of death. His talent and wisdom have been recognized by the world, and he has won the Grammy's Best of the Year for two consecutive years. The production award has proved the strength of Hugo. This time, the Grammys are one step closer.

The Non-Classical Producer of the Year award is an award that is not presented at an awards ceremony, and the winners are announced every year before the Grammys—after all, there are more than a hundred Grammys awards, and it is impossible to announce all of them at the party. But this award is just like its name, it is an award for all non-classical album producers, there is no specific song or album, but individual recognition of behind-the-scenes music producers who have performed well in the past year, recognizing their music Contribution and talent behind the industry. This is the most important recognition for any music producer.

This is the first time that Hugo has been shortlisted for this award, competing with the top music producers in the United States - which is absolutely unimaginable for Hugo who is not a professional. What's even more incredible is that, among the winners announced at the Grammy's warm-up party, the best long-form music video belongs to the Beatles, and they are honored to the death and regretted to lose; while the non-classical producer of the year is awarded For Hugo - he defeated Babyface, who had previously won two consecutive championships!

The awards ceremony has not yet begun, and Glory to Death has already made a good start, and now Hugo is also among the top music producers in the United States, not to mention the band leads the nomination list with 12 nominations.

From the "almost famous" refusal to cooperate, to the "bath in the morning light", the entanglement between Glory to Death and the Grammys has come all the way, but the Grammys have been losing ground, and even the Grammys cannot stop the wheel of history The pace of advance, so there will be "storms" sweeping thousands of troops.

Ironically, "Rolling Stone" even called Glory to Death the "Grammy darling" - you know, even a year ago, Grammys and "Rolling Stone" two major authorities, the attitude of Glory to Death Also always ambiguous. ambiguous.

In addition to being honored to death, the two competitors, Maria and Oasis, are not inferior, showing strong competitiveness, making the nomination list colorful!

Maria's "Butterfly" album was successfully shortlisted for two comprehensive awards: Best Album of the Year and Best Single of the Year. In addition, it won two important nominations for Best Pop Female Singer and Best Pop Album in the pop department, as well as rhythm. With two major nominations for Best R&B Female Vocalist and Best R&B Song in the blues department, plus Best Short Music Video, she received seven nominations in total.

The seven nominations also created Maria's personal best at the Grammys, trailing in the nominations stage to the death of glory, once again allowing Maria to take a major step in her journey to surpass Whitney Houston.

However, what is good for Maria is that due to the difference in music types, she does not need to face off with Glory to Death and Oasis. Compared with the battle of the century, she needs to pay more attention to the strength of the Grammys. Downie Brighton. Therefore, the Grammy's victory or defeat also added more suspense.

It is worth mentioning that although Whitney has not released a new album, relying on the soundtrack "Exhausted" from the movie "Wake Up" was nominated for Best Production of the Year, Best R&B Single, and A nomination for Best Pop Chorus. Even without a new album, Whitney remains a true Grammy darling, putting Maria under enormous pressure.

Compared with Maria, the Oasis Band is a full-scale duel with the glory of death!

Although the poor professional reviews of the album "Stay in the Moment" did not affect sales, the tilt between art and business can still be felt at the Grammys.

Among the four comprehensive categories, Oasis received a single of the year nomination for "Do You Know What I Mean", far behind the two competitors. However, in the rock department, there were four nominations for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Single, Best Rock Band, and Best Hard Rock Performance, plus the Best Alternative Music Album Award, and they finally won six nominations. nominate.

This is the best result achieved by a continental singer at the Grammys since the U2 band, especially the Oasis Band has achieved such success in the United States on behalf of British rock. This is undoubtedly a stimulant for the long-term weak British music industry, which makes the whole British Isles start to cheer.

While "Stay In The Moment" couldn't match the professional acclaim of the two rivals, at least six nominations recognized Oasis' commercial success in the United States. As for how the awards will eventually turn out, anything is possible until the results are announced at the awards ceremony.

Oasis will go head-to-head against Death of Glory in all five nominees except Best Alternative Album. This is not a sales battle - a win-win situation without losers is impossible, and in the end there is only one winner, and only one.

As everyone knows, this Grammy may be the only one in history, not only because of the brilliance and splendor of 1996, but also because the average strength of the nominated works is amazing. Twenty years later, when people look back on the music classics of the 1990s, they all think that 1996 is equivalent to 1994 in movies. An important year that people can't get past when talking about music history.

"Forrest Gump" became the last king in 1994, so who will the music market in 1996 witness to ascend to the throne? In the end is the troika writing history together, or will Downie Bryston, Whitney Houston and the "Different Instinct" soundtrack and Cher Crow stand up to disrupt the game? The choice of history may be right, wrong, or controversial, but in the end, it will leave its mark on the wheel of history and go down in history.

The awards ceremony has not yet started, and it has been noisy, and now it is boiling with glory to the death of arriving in Los Angeles!
