Three Hundred and Eighty-Fourth Ultimate Suspense

Looking at the five nominations for the album of the year, each work has a great background, and squeezed out Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Muse, Maroon 5, Alicia Keys and other singers. Excellent works, the degree of competition has been unanimously affirmed by all professionals.

Just looking at the list of nominations, you can see the Grammy's thoughts.

In terms of album sales, on the 2012 year-end total album sales list, Sons of Montfort ranked sixth, Black Keys ranked nineteenth, and Joyful Entertainment ranked 20th. 1.6 million.

But neither Frank Ocean nor the King for a Day has been able to break into the top 50 of the year-end list. Among them, Frank Ocean's album has won the Billboard Championship for at least one week; Billboard Top Ten. Basically, it can be said to be ignored by the market.

Judging from media evaluations, One Day King and Frank Ocean were neck and neck, and scored 93 points in the media evaluation of professional music critics. These are also the two albums with the best ratings this year; the other three albums The albums were all lowered by a grade, and the highest overall rating by the media was 84 points from the Black Keys——

Among them, the Blessed Sons only had 63 points, and the Happy Entertainment Team had only 60 points.

Of course, it does not mean that a high sales volume or a high score will definitely win an award. What the two sets of figures show is more the contradiction between "business and art".

The Grammys did not choose the highest-selling or highest-rated works, but always explored the balance between business and art, and selected five nominated albums.

Sons of Mumfort and Joy have good sales but poor ratings, and One Day King and Frank Ocean have good ratings but poor sales. This is the most stark contrast. With a good balance, it will naturally become the biggest favorite to win the award tonight.

Judging from the analysis before the awards ceremony, the Black Keys is indeed the most popular band, but followed by the king for a day, a very surprising but reasonable answer——

The media generally believe that the album of One Day King has indeed found a balance between commerce and art, otherwise "Chasing the Light" and "My Demon" would not have won the attention of the market. Like the Maroon 5 band back then, they are still full of wine and afraid of deep alleys. Coupled with the leading momentum of seven nominations, they are indeed behind the Black Keys and become the favorites for awards.

Strictly speaking, the winning rate of the King of the Year in the album of the year is higher than that of the song of the year and the recording of the year.

However, now that all the patterns have been disrupted, can One Day King continue his competitiveness in the annual album? After all, the One Day King has won so many trophies,

It is no easy task to continue the history of sweeping thousands of troops. Has the album "Seven" really reached such a height?

Because there were so many surprises in the trend of the awards ceremony tonight, so that the overall pattern needs to be re-examined, and it cannot be viewed with common sense.

At this time, it is natural to think of Adele's album "21", which created countless history last year. This album has indeed reached a new height in both commercial and artistic aspects. Unanimously affirmed by the public-although the voices of opposition and criticism will never disappear, the overall positive affirmation is still positive.

And now, can "Seven" really replicate the height of "21" or even exceed the height of "21"? Or to put it another way, can the king of the day really carry the halo of Nora Jones' birth?

Obviously, there must be a question mark in everyone's heart, but no one can give an answer, because the king of the day just jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, everything happened too fast, there was no time and there was not enough information. After completing the judgment, everyone is now in a fog.

The Sons of Montfort are considered to be the best candidates for the upset. Although the album "Babel" is so popular that it has lost the original characteristics of the band, they still found the popular code in folk rock, which is undoubtedly One of the important contributors to the overall recovery of rock this year.

In addition, Frank Ocean and the Huanyu team will always be dark horses that cannot be underestimated.

In addition to sales and music reviews, the One-Day Kings, Frank Ocean and Joyful Entertainment all nominated newcomers of the year, which is also the biggest variable this year.

According to the habit of previous years, for newcomers, nomination for the album of the year is a victory. If you want to win the award, you have to wait for the second album; but this year has completely broken this situation, because the strong rise of the three newcomers. Entering the final battle for the album of the year, and joining hands to suppress the Black Keys and Sons of Mumford, the situation suddenly became delicate, and the practice of previous years has obviously been invalidated—otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that there are three contestants missing?

Will such an accident boost the chances of the Black Keys and Sons of Mumfort, or increase the possibility of the three newcomers standing out?

Coupled with tonight's unpopular trend, the situation became more complicated and confusing.

Conventions no longer count, so common sense cannot be inferred. When experience cannot be a reference object, suspense is full of countless possibilities. These days, it's no surprise that any one album stands out, not even Frank Ocean's.

Could it be that one day the king really wants to accomplish the feat of being a big four?

No way!

If it weren't for the king for a day, "two rookies VS two mainstays", then who can win? How will Grammy explore the balance between business and art? Also, will the favorites win strongly, or will the dark horses continue to upset and counterattack?

Moreover, Frank Ocean is expected to be the main axis of the show tonight. This action itself has far-reaching significance. Does it imply that the Grammys are going to be upset all the way to the end?

Question mark, question mark, still question mark.

With Frank Ocean's performance on stage, the suspense was pushed to the extreme, and all the guests could feel the suffocation that the heart almost stopped.

Previously, although the king was upset again and again, it was so unexpected that the audience had not had time to react, and naturally they could not feel the mixed emotions other than shock; but now, the possibility of history creation suddenly The time came right before our eyes, the double impact of tension and excitement, and the intricate thoughts surged in the mind, so that the attention of watching Frank Ocean's performance was a little distracted.

Ronan and his teammates are no exception.

After experiencing the chaos of the annual recording, I finally sat down. The flustered emotions calmed down a little. At this time, I was able to savor carefully. The sense of reality quickly stirred in the stomach, and the messy thoughts occupied the brain strongly, and it was difficult to concentrate. stand up.
