Eight Hundred and Forty-Eight Participation
The Grammy Awards has begun.
The annual musical extravaganza was opened by veteran rock star Bruce-Springsteen.
This music superstar has an irreplaceable and lofty position in the United States. Not only has he won many Grammys and Oscars as a singer, but he also has an unshakable strong appeal among the masses. Worldwide, his albums have sold 120 million copies.
Tonight, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the opening performance of the Grammys, Bruce did not disappoint. One after another popular golden songs were released one after another. It only took 60 seconds to turn the audience into a party scene.
Everyone swayed to the rhythm to their heart's content, sang loudly, immersed themselves, and enjoyed themselves freely, just like the Brazilian Carnival Carnival, and the audience was sensational! Unlike awards ceremonies on film and TV, the entertainment nature of a music party has everyone rolling up their sleeves, raising their hands, getting out of their chairs, loosening their shackles, and really getting involved.
Bruce Springsteen gave a wonderful opening performance, lively, vigorous and mighty! This seems to set the tone for the entire awards ceremony tonight.
After the opening show, rapper James-Todd-Smith (stage name: LL-Cool-J), the first official host of the Grammys in nearly seven years, appeared in a black suit. , began the evening's opening remarks with a sad tone of condolence, "Unfortunately, someone in our extended family has left."
On the big screen, Whitney Houston began to sing her masterpiece "I-Will-Always-Love-You", and the audience silently admired and prayed silently. After the play, James said, "Whitney, we will always love you."
From Bruce Springsteen to Whitney Houston, including host James Todd Smith, the 54th Grammys debuted in retro nostalgia, with all three singers reawakening memories , fond memories of the last glories of the music market in the 1990s.
Bruno Mars, who appeared next, represents the present of the new generation of singers in the 21st century. In the opening 20 minutes, Grammy completed a gorgeous turn from the past to the present.
After the performance, the awards officially began.
For Renly, tonight was a complete sideshow. In fact, Renly knew that he had received six nominations, because people around him had repeated it over and over again, and had said it too many times, "six", this number has been deeply imprinted in his mind; but, He didn't remember the six nominations at all, and he didn't care too much - they were all escorts anyway.
Not only is the state of mind stable,
And all over relaxed. Even, Renly still has a leisurely chat with the little guys Alex and Annie. The word "chat" is not very accurate, it should be that they watched the performance seriously, and when they encountered a problem, they raised their heads to ask, and Renly would answer them seriously.
But to be honest, Renly's knowledge of the music field is only average.
Among the first country awards to be awarded, Taylor Swift, who has become popular in recent years, won two awards for best country singer and best country song respectively; and last year, she swept the five Grammy trophies. The former goddess, this year's momentum has weakened a little, and only won the best country album award.
In addition, the indie folk duo The-Civil-Wars won Best Country Group Performance and Best Folk Album for their self-titled title track "Barton-Hollow" from their new album. in the bag.
It is worth mentioning that, if it wasn't for Annie's active reminder, Renly would not have noticed at all, and the first nomination for "Don Quixote" appeared in this way, the Best Folk Album Award.
Therefore, when the presenter announced the "Courtyard Valley" award, Renly was not disappointed or surprised at all. In addition to applauding his congratulations, he also explained to Annie, "Their first album was very good. It seems that the second The album is also worth looking forward to, I should go back to the record store to buy vinyl records."
Undoubtedly, in the country category, Taylor is the biggest winner; but the victory of the civil war group has once again continued the momentum of this year's Grammy ballad.
Among the rock awards that followed, Grammy darlings U2 and Bruce Springsteen didn't have a production last year, which also contributed to the brilliance of the Spitfire - they swept the army and won the best rock performance. , Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album, four trophies, and one for Best Long-form Music Video.
With ease, the Spitfire rounded out all the awards in the rock category.
When he beat Coldplay, Murphy Sons, Radiohead and others, and won the Best Rock Song Award, Spitfire host David Gru gave his acceptance speech and specifically mentioned the declining City of Sounds .
"I have to thank Butch-Vig for the recording process of this song, 20 years ago we did Nirvana's 'Nevermind' recording in Sound City; 20 years After that, we went back to the garage to finish recording the album. The fall of the city of sound is the end of an era.
However, I am very happy tonight, because I once again saw another work that the City of Sound recorded and received recognition.
Renly Hall, everyone is talking about what the hell the actor is here for; but I must say he's a true music lover. He knows how to appreciate the charm of the city of sound, but also understand the soul contained in the music itself. The meaning of the city of sound is far greater than those recorded and performed in front of the computer.
So, let's wait and see! "
It was supposed to be the award-winning moment for the Spitfire, but the name "Renly Hall" took up most of the page. The guests at the scene couldn't help but look astonished, and cast their gazes towards Ren Li's location: What's going on? How did Renly meet David? And David is full of praise? Isn't Renly a complete outsider?
Even Annie asked curiously, "Renly, do you know him?"
"We had a relationship before," Renly said with a smile.
Renly and David had a brief conversation at the beginning of the recording of "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" in the City of Sounds. But with the passage of time, the two had hardly any intersection, and Renly never imagined that David not only remembered himself, but was so impressed. Renly strongly wondered if Herbert Jones had been babbling in front of David?
Just when Renly thought the rock-related awards were all over, his name came over the speaker, "Renly-Hall, 'Don Quixote'."
The next second, the spotlight was focused; at the same time, the cameraman moved quickly with the camera and found the target person in the crowd. In an instant, Renly was in the spotlight. Everything happened too suddenly without any warning. Even though he was as calm as Renly, there was a flash of confusion in his eyes:
This is not a pre-planned session.
Annie and Alex were extremely excited, slapped their hands hard, and screamed excitedly, "Renly, Renly!" The applause at the scene was not too warm, which also made the voices of the two little guys sharp and harsh. It spread out, causing a kind of laughter among the surrounding guests.
After a short period of stunnedness, Renly cast his gaze towards the big screen rationally, and then found the answer:
Best Alternative Album Award. Renly-Hall, "Don Quixote".
This is "Don Quixote"'s second nomination tonight, beating Bon-Iver, beating Radiohead, beating the Foster family, beating Death-Cab-For-Cutie ), Renly Hall received his first gramophone trophy at the Grammys.
Astonished, surprised, dazed, confused. A lot of emotions reverberated in his chest, but Renly kept his composure and left his position, leaving his position while watching, walking towards the aisle, towards the stage.
Tonight, Renly is the center of attention, but not the superstar. His seat is arranged on the left side of the third row, with the American indie band The--Keys on the right and Robyn, the unique British singer, on the left. Not a central location, but not a remote area either.
He smiled and apologized to the members of the Black Keys, who clapped in congratulations. Renly came to the aisle, and then saw a person standing up in the central area, raised his hands high, and applauded vigorously - he was the only one standing up in a large circle nearby, standing out from the crowd, especially conspicuous, Renly I saw it at a glance.
Ludacris.
"Fast and Furious 5" has had a partner in the past, but he has always been a supporter of Vin Diesel. In addition to his role as an actor, he is actually an excellent rapper, and the album and single have achieved very good success on the billboard, and also has three Grammy trophies.
Unexpectedly, the two met again in such an unexpected way outside of Hollywood. Ludacris applauded, while Renly smiled in thanks.
Similar venues, similar ceremonies, similar scenes, but completely different feelings. Renly always felt a sense of alienation, as if he didn't belong here, yet he was involved in it, a feeling so subtle and indescribable.
On the stage, Renly saw the presenter, Katy Perry.
Katie gave a big smile, her mouth wide open, and her hands open in a hug; Renly spread her hands and cast a confused look, as if to say, "What's going on? Are you sure you didn't?" Is it wrong?"
This look made Katie look up and laugh happily, walked up, and gave Renly a hug, "Don't worry, I read it right." Katie said loudly to Renly, "Congratulations! A very, very good album, I mean it."
Afterwards, Katie took the trophy from the master of ceremonies, handed it to Renly, and congratulated again with a smile on her face, "This is your moment! Congratulations!"
There was something absurd and helpless in Renly's smile, as well as a flattered panic, "Thank you, I wish you good luck in the future." Renly replied, expressing his blessings. 8)
