Chapter 887 Bloody Grammy
On February 28, the Grammys will begin as the money-grabbing couples descend on their faithful Los Angeles hallowed auditorium.
In this theater alone, the two have won awards over the years, because the Soul Train Music Awards, which are only awarded to black artists, are the favorite to be held here.
"It's too slow, I've never seen such strict security measures."
Song Ya complained in the lengthened Lincoln that was advancing like a snail.
"Because ie was nominated at the same time, right? They will all be here today."
Mariah Carey's manager, Newman, who is also in charge of Sony Columbia Records' singers this year's awards season for the first time, laughed: "Poppa is head-to-head for the best rap performance award, Against the World is shortlisted for best rap album, Biggie , Dead and Gone, which Snoop Dogg collaborated with you, was shortlisted for the Best Rap Performance by a Duo or a Group. Even the number of nominations is the same... The organizers are really watching the excitement."
His performance at the AMAs and other small awards was perfect, and the couple were very satisfied.
"According to the current mainstream public opinion atmosphere, it is very difficult for them to win the award, and they should only be able to accompany them. The only chance is that Biggie can rely on your energy to overwhelm 2PAC on the west coast. The opponent for the best duo or group rap performance award is the weakest, Dead and Gone It is a song to commemorate Little Lowry, and the content of the song is self-reflection and anti-violence, these are the favorable elements for winning awards."
Hayden sucks up to the boss.
"Hehe, it's also possible that I'm dragged down by Biggie...this is 2PAC's home stadium." Song Ya herself has passed the stage of caring about the gains and losses of individual awards, "In short, we are all here with Mimi today, six nominations, if we win a big , she will be able to lead with an absolute advantage in the DIVA honor competition in the 1990s."
Mariah Carey pouted when she heard the words. Of course, she attached great importance to the finale of the Daydream album awards season. She prepared seven sets of clothes early in one breath, all of which were high-end evening wear made for her by well-known designers. She walked the red carpet One set, one set for singing the opening repertoire, and I will also wear this set to receive the first small award, and then each of the other five awards. These evening dresses were specially designed to fit the curve of her now protruding belly.
And Song Ya herself has no performance tasks, so she only prepared two sets, one for walking the red carpet and one for receiving awards.
"I've tried my best to do public relations this year." Her agent, Sandy Glenn, asked, "APLUS, where are you?"
"Of course, I squandered all the prize-winning means and friendship at once."
According to the previous agreement,
The two will find an opportunity to announce their divorce after today. At this time, Song Ya will not have any reservations. The American music magazine and the attached small gift will be mailed to the judges group early. Come on, "Don't worry, remember the year when EmpireStateOfMind was nominated? Even Motura didn't have confidence anymore, and it wasn't because of me that I won the general award for Mimi."
He met Mariah Carey's betting gaze, "I even reached a tacit agreement with BABYFACE in private, not to compete with him for the non-classical producer of the year, and to fight for the award for you tonight."
"Hmph...thank you." In exchange for a proud but serious thank you.
"Can you hear the movement now?" Song Ya lowered her head and pressed her ear to her stomach.
"I hate it, don't make trouble now!" She immediately slapped the man on the head, beating Song Ya up and screaming, because the ring of the big diamond ring was very hard and hurt.
"What about yourself?" Sandy Glen asked.
"The probability of the best duo or group rap performance award is half and half according to fate, and the task is completed if you get the best film and television instrumental album." Song Ya and she rolled their eyes at each other and shrugged nonchalantly.
"Then it's right for us to focus on Miss Kelly tonight." Newman laughed.
When we talked here, the car finally stopped in front of the red carpet.
"Let's go out and shine in the world, Mimi." Song Ya crossed her arms and smiled at her.
"Hmph..."
Holding hands and cuddling closely, the man's Patek Philippe watch and the woman's big diamond ring are placed in the center of the 'camera'. The car door is opened, and the flashing lights outside and the shouts of reporters and fans are released like waves. The only focus of all the spotlights, the face and clothes, the bright lip color and the cold diamonds are reflected dazzlingly.
Come on, we're in a hurry to get our money and leave
as fast as a lamborghini
Jump off the stage and enjoy it with the audience
I can't believe we did this, look at what we've accomplished
we are grateful
we can't believe it
We really climbed to the top of our career
Hey! Hey! The diamond is cold, Patek Philippe will give you a piece, and the private jet will give it away...
"Tonight is our show."
It seems that another song has been revealed by the apocalypse, a good sign, Song Ya stood still and waved, whispering and smiling.
"Get out of the way, don't block my mother's camera." She was half a step ahead, as proud as a Grammy queen.
‘Miss Kelly, look this way! How do you feel about this year's six Grammy nominations? The two pass items, and the other four are not small prizes. '
‘Tell me, how many months is the due date? '
'The diamond ring is so beautiful, is it the token that you secretly confirmed your relationship back then? '
'APLUS! I heard that you sold part of your shares in Netscape, do you regret it now? '
'Can we talk about ie? The King of Chicago Rap hasn't officially judged the east and west coasts yet, has he? '
'Look this way, Maria! You are so beautiful today! '
'APLUS! I love you! '
The two people who are popular enough sometimes put their arms around each other and pose for poses, and sometimes accept interviews separately. After dealing with the reporters and fans with ease, they slowly walked to the outfield interview corner in front, like a stroll in the courtyard.
"Be careful, the producer of this year's ceremony is Quincy Jones." Song Ya took the time to remind her.
"Hehe, you have a lot of enemies in the recording industry..."
"our."
"Your, soon it will be yours alone."
Her expression froze the smile on Song Ya's face, "Okay, let's not talk about that for now."
The two were greeted by outfield hosts holding microphones, "Welcome, welcome Mariah Carey, APLUS, how are you feeling today?" Good start, safety issue.
"Ah, it's great, the atmosphere in Los Angeles is very good, I like it, and I also like to participate in the Grammys..." She responded with a smile.
"APLUS, you, Biggie and Snoop Dogg were shortlisted for this year's award with DeadAndGone, which one of them do you like better?"
"Well……"
This question is really a bit difficult to answer. A bad boy record belongs to the east coast, and a death row record belongs to the west coast. There must be more difficult questions later. Snoop Dogg didn't come today, but Biggie came, but he didn't seem to walk on the red carpet, "I like them all, I respect them very much, when I met the dog..."
"Hey! You are here too!" At this moment, the most popular rhythm and blues boy group, Boyz IIman foursome suddenly appeared from behind, they embraced the two of them affectionately, laughed and played, and even screamed strangely.
"Welcome, and BoyzIIman is also welcome!" It was a bit messy, and the host couldn't care less.
Mariah Carey winked at herself playfully, and Song Ya realized that she had already prepared for the little danger at this moment, "Hmph, a woman who doesn't speak right."
yeah! yeah! Be careful, sunspots, I'm a person with a background
I wear jewels, I don't care about fame
There is a special plane for travel, wear Alexander Wang
Bitches be careful
i'm not a woman to mess with
"Huh? Alexander... Wang? Where did a fashion designer with the same name as me but surnamed Wang appear?"
Song Yazheng was suspicious of the apocalypse song in her head, "Together? I'm going to prepare with BoyzIIman, and sing the opening." She asked in her ear.
"Uh, okay." The six of them headed backstage in a mighty manner. She needed to change out of her red carpet attire and wear another outfit from the opening show of the Grammys. By the way, she had a final rehearsal with BoyzIIman.
"Help."
The four of BoyzIIman were humming their OneSweetDay from last year's B list to the present in the dressing room. In the dressing room, Song Ya helped her tighten the tie behind the evening dress, and the female assistants, costumers and stylists were biting their sewing needles, Four or five people were nervously busy around her.
She has raised the cup, and this color-blocked low-cut high-end evening dress that focuses on setting off the mountains is a bit too tight now.
"You won't strangle the baby, right?" Song Ya asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I asked the doctor, let go, I don't need you here anymore." After he finished using the tools, he issued an order to evict the guest.
"Okay, try to breathe." Song Ya waited for her to hang her throat a few times and felt that there was no problem before returning to her front seat at the awards ceremony.
I don't know why he was a little uneasy, until he met Shirley Fleming, the editor-in-chief of American Music Magazine, he finally settled down a little bit, and raised his chin with Biggie and his group in the distance, and then looked around for Derry and BABYFACE and other powerful allies. I have more enemies in the record circle than in the movie circle, but they have stronger control, hehe...
After the high-spirited exchange, Newman on the right has already taken his seat, and the seat on the left is vacant, reserved for Mariah Carey, my enemies... I seem to have seen them all except Mary Blige, Quincy Jones He is the producer of the entire award ceremony. He should be very busy this time and will not appear in the audience.
The other honorees around... are not very familiar with them. The evolution of music trends is very fast, and the waves behind push the waves ahead.
"Ladies and gentlemen! BoyzIIman! Mariah Carey! OneSweetDay!"
The lights dimmed, and the opening performance came very quickly. She was more mature and feminine, and she performed very well. Recently, her voice is in very good condition. BoyzIIman is a bit behind, and difficult choral songs like OneSweetDay are not easy to sing well. on site.
The first nomination is related to me, and it is also the award I hope to get guaranteed, the original soundtrack of the cat and mouse game, and the best film and television instrumental music album.
"Winner: Hans Zimmer! Red Tide!"
Um? Who ran the ticket? I thought this award was very stable, because this is an award in the field of classical music that Shirley Fleming and her American Music Magazine specialize in, and Hans Zimmer, the soundtrack master's performance in the soundtrack of the Red Tide is considered to be not very good in his career. .
After Song Ya contributed a congratulatory smile and applause, she stretched her neck to find someone. Shirley Fleming was also very surprised, and she shook her head slightly to express her helplessness.
"Oh, it seems that there was an accident." Mariah Carey who came from the backstage sat down next to her, "What's going on?"
"It's not surprising to lose to Hans Zimmer, isn't the original soundtrack of Cat and Mouse game also lost at the Golden Globes?" Newman comforted the two, "It's early, don't worry."
Then it was Song Ya's award, the best rap performance award for a duo or group, the camera slowly zoomed in, and I believe there was a photographer responsible for Biggie's side.
Divide the cake? It's okay, uh, the acceptance speech for this award is in the inner pocket, and Song Ya supports the armrest of the seat with both hands.
"The winners are: MethodMan and Mary Blige!"
Damn, Biggie, the iconic character from both coasts, won't be able to win the award after all. Forget it, the public opinion is very bad for him and 2PAC now, and it's really not good to hang shoulders with him on the podium.
In this case, the opportunity will be gone. The non-classical producer award has already exchanged interests with BABYFACE, and this year's Grammy is destined to be zero.
"I can only see you." Helplessly said to the beautiful woman beside her.
"Don't be too upset." She smiled.
"Um……"
In the middle, 2PAC and four singers in strange costumes appeared on the stage as award presenters. Even on this occasion, he boasted narcissistically as usual, and used rhyming raps to say that all the men who participated in the Grammy wore the same formal clothes Dress, and I just want to be different, but the typhoon is indeed very stable, with a superstar style.
But it's a pity that the content of the lyrics is too negative. Since Biggie can't get the award, you can't get it either.
This time I finally judged correctly. He and Biggie were nominated for the same rap single award. They were quickly sniped away by Gangsta', and the annual rap album will also miss.
"Best R&B Female Vocal Performance...WINNER: Anita Baker!"
"It's a pity." She smiled from the bottom of her heart. She didn't get this award, which means that the chances of important awards in the future, especially the general awards, are even greater.
"Yes, Bai has prepared a set of clothes." Song Ya also took the opportunity to tease her.
"I'm going to change it. The opening dress is really too tight." She changed into the clothes if she didn't win the award. She took advantage of the TLC group on the stage to start the two-song joint performance, and ran back to the backstage.
This time, she changed to a set of all-white low-cut evening gowns. She has raised her cup. According to her personality, of course she wants to show off. This set is more 'temperament', with this fairy white streamer wrapped around her neck.
"Best Pop Vocal Collaboration...with TheChieftains!"
Ahhh, I didn't get it again... All the top five nominations in the husband and wife group were yellow.
"Who ran away..." Song Ya began to mutter the sentence stretching his neck to find someone again, but nothing unusual was found, and everyone responded calmly, "M-Fxxk..."
"Don't swear..." She persuaded in a low voice, "It's okay, you'll be fine if you take all the two general items."
"With two general items, the pressure of public opinion will be great." Newman laughed.
"Best pop female singer of the year!"
Here's the grand prize, "The winner is: AnnieLennox! Congratulations!"
Song Ya took a deep breath, leaned back a little, "laugh, applaud, APLUS." Newman reminded beside him.
"Oh." The two squeezed out a smile and applauded.
"Best pop album of the year goes to: JoniulentIndigo!"
"Laugh, clap, APLUS, Miss Kelly."
Now Song Ya can still squeeze out a smile, she can't control her emotions, and there are still four dresses in the backstage that haven't been shown yet! "What do you mean? The Grammys invited us here, and then we were stabbed and executed to make us look ugly? Is it like they treated MJ back then? APLUS, you didn't do anything, right!?"
"How come!? I'm also very angry now, okay?"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, and pay attention to the camera." Newman kept persuading: "There are two general items left, don't let the national audience see your negative emotions."
"That damned photographer was staring at us!" Song Ya smiled, clapped her hands in front of her mouth, and cursed in a low voice.
This year's awards ceremony was too difficult, and finally came to the final four major items, "Record of the Year, the winner is: Kissfroma Rose! Singer Seal, producer Trevor Horn!"
Song Ya was so angry that there was a little blood in front of his eyes, maybe his eyeballs were bloodshot, he ignored the camera with a cold face, and Mariah Carey didn't intend to congratulate his opponent hypocritically, and he was exhausted when he was about to be shot in the face by the camera lens He raised his hand and slapped twice.
This general award is their OneSweetDay opening performance, but the Grammys didn't give the award? Song Ya saw the BoyzIIman quartet over there also full of disbelief. Sean Stockman, the hottest and bad-tempered among them, was clearly spitting out 'WTF'.
"Nominated for Album of the Year: Mariah Carey, Daydream!"
For the last award, the photographer went around and came back again. Mariah Carey lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and couldn't even squeeze out the joyful smile of being nominated.
It's useless to think about anything, it's not the style of the Grammys to give awards at this time, they have always done things well.
The two have been in the circle for a long time, and they both understand.
"This is simply a conspiracy, a deliberate murder, no, a massacre!" Newman wailed.
Tell the Grammy's fxxkthat0for8shxt!
"The winner is: , the album jaggedlittlepill!"
