Tonight, shouldering the important task of opening the Grammys, Bruce did not disappoint. He released popular hits one after another, turning the whole place into a party scene in just sixty seconds..

Different from film and television award ceremonies, the entertainment nature of music parties allows everyone to roll up their sleeves, raise their hands, leave their chairs, loosen their restraints, and truly participate.
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 performance, the Grammy’s first official host in nearly seven years, rapper James-Todd-Smith (stage name: LL-Cool-J) appeared on stage wearing a black suit , began tonight's opening remarks with a sad tone of condolences, "Sadly, someone in our extended family has passed away..”

From Bruce Springsteen to Whitney Houston, including host James Todd Smith, the 54th Grammy Awards took place with a retro tribute as all three singers rekindled memories , a beautiful memory of the last glory 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. Twenty minutes into the show, Grammy completed a magnificent transformation from the past to the present..
After the performance, the awards ceremony officially began.
For Renly, tonight was a complete spectacle. In fact, Renly knew that he had received six nominations, because the people around him said and repeated it too many times, "Six nominations." ", this number has been deeply imprinted in his mind; however, he can't remember the specific six nominations, and he doesn't care too much - they are all accompanying runners anyway..
Not only was his mind calm, but his whole body was relaxed. In fact, Renly was even leisurely chatting with Alex and Annie. The term "chatting" is not accurate. It should be that they were watching the performance seriously and encountered problems. , they all raised their heads and asked, and Renly would give answers seriously..
But to be honest, Renly's knowledge of the field of music can only be regarded as mediocre..
Among the first country awards to be awarded, Taylor Swift, who has been on the rise in recent years, won two awards for Best Country Vocalist and Best Country Song respectively; last year, she swept the battle for five Grammy trophies. The former goddess, her popularity has weakened slightly this year, and she only won the Best Country Album Award..
In addition, the independent folk duo The-Civil-Wars won the Best Country Group Performance Award for their new album's title track "Barton-Hollow" and also won the Best Folk Album Award. pocketed.
It is worth mentioning that if Anne hadn't proactively reminded him, Renly wouldn't have noticed at all, and the first nomination for "Don Quixote" appeared, for Best Folk Album..
Therefore, when the award presenter announced that "Courtyard Valley" had won the award, Renly was not disappointed or surprised at all. He took the initiative to applaud and express his congratulations, and also explained to Anne, "Their first album was very good. It seems that the second album The album is also worth looking forward to. I should go to the record store to buy vinyl records later..”
Undoubtedly, Taylor is the biggest winner in the country category; but the victory of the Civil War group once again continued the momentum of the rise of folk songs at this year's Grammy Awards..
Among the rock awards that followed, Grammy darlings U2 and Bruce Springsteen did not release any works last year, which also made the Foo Fighters brilliant - they swept all the troops and won the best rock performance. , four trophies for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album, and one for Best Long-form Music Video.
Easily, the Foo Fighters completed all the awards in the rock category.
When receiving the award for Best Rock Song, beating out Coldplay, Mumford Sons, Radiohead and others, Foo Fighters frontman David Gru specifically mentioned the declining city of sound in his acceptance speech..
“I have to thank Butch-Vig for the recording process of this song, twenty years ago we recorded Nirvana's 'Nevermind' in Sound City; twenty years later , we returned to the garage to complete the recording of the album. The decline of Sound City recorded the end of an era..
However, I am very happy tonight because I once again saw another piece that Sound City has completed recording and gained recognition..
Renly Hall, everyone is talking about why this actor came here to join in the fun; but I must say that he is a true music lover. He knows how to appreciate the charm of the City of Sound, and he also understands the music itself. The meaning of the city of sound is far greater than those recordings and performances completed in front of a computer..
So, let's wait and see！”
It was originally the Foo Fighters' winning moment, but the name "Renly-Hall" took up most of the space. The guests at the scene couldn't help but be surprised, and they all looked at Renly's position: What's going on? How did Renly meet David? And David was full of praise? Isn't Renly a complete outsider?？
Even Anne asked curiously, "Renly, do you know him?"？”
“We had a chance encounter before." Renly said with a smile..
Back then, when they were recording "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" in the City of Sound, Renly and David had a brief conversation. But as time passed, the two of them had almost no interaction, and Renly had absolutely no Thinking that David not only remembered him, but also made such a deep impression on him. Renly strongly wondered if Herbert Jones had been talking about it in front of David.？
Just when Renly thought that all the rock-related awards had been handed out, his name came from the speakers, "Renly Hall, 'Don Quixote'"’.”
The next second, the spotlight focused on him; at the same time, the cameraman quickly moved over with the camera and found the target person in the crowd. In an instant, Renly stood under the focus of everyone's attention, and everything was under the spotlight. It happened so suddenly, without any warning. Even though Renly was as calm and calm as he was, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.：
This is not a prearranged event..
Annie and Alex were extremely excited. They clapped their hands vigorously and screamed excitedly, "Renly, Renly!" The applause at the scene was not too enthusiastic, which also made the two little guys' voices sharp and harsh. It spread, causing a burst of good-natured laughter among the surrounding guests..
After a brief moment of daze, Renly looked rationally at the big screen, and then found the answer.：
Best Alternative Album. Renly Hall, "Don Quixote"”.
This is Quixote's second nomination of the night, beating out Bon-Iver, beating Radiohead, beating The Fosters, beating Death-Cab-For-Cutie ), Renly Hall received his first gramophone trophy at the Grammy Awards.
Shocked, surprised, dazed, and confused. Many emotions were echoing in his chest, but Renly still kept calm and left his position. He left his position under the gaze and walked towards the aisle and the stage..
Tonight, Renly is the center of attention, but he is not a popular star. His seat is arranged on the left side of the third row. On his right is the American independent band The Black Keys, and on his left is the unique British band The female singer Robyn is not in the core position, but she is not in a remote area either..
He smiled and apologized to the members of the Black Keys, and they took the initiative to applaud to express their congratulations. Renly came to the aisle, and then saw a person in the central area standing up, raising his hands high, and exerting all his strength. Applause - he was the only one standing in a large circle nearby, standing out from the crowd, and Renly saw it immediately..
Ludacris.
“He once had a collaborator in "Fast and Furious 5", but he has always been a supporter of Vin Diesel. In addition to being an actor, he is actually an excellent rapper, with albums and singles The songs have achieved outstanding success on Billboard and have also won three Grammy Awards..
Unexpectedly, the two people would meet again in such an unexpected way outside of Hollywood. Ludacris applauded, while Renly smiled and expressed his gratitude..
Similar venues, similar ceremonies, similar scenes, but completely different feelings. Renly always felt a sense of alienation, as if he didn't belong here, but he was still involved. The feeling was really subtle and indescribable..
Walking onto the stage, Renly saw the award guest, Katy Perry..
Katie showed a big smile, opened her mouth wide, and opened her hands in a hug gesture; Renly spread his hands and cast a confused look, as if to say, "What's going on? Are you sure you haven't?" Did you read it wrong?？”
This look made Katie throw her head back and laugh happily. She walked forward and gave Renly a hug. "Don't worry, I saw it right." Katie said loudly to Renly, "Congratulations! This is A really, really great album, I'm serious.”
Afterwards, Katie took the trophy from the master of ceremonies and handed it to Renly. She once again expressed her congratulations with a smile on her face, "This is your moment! Congratulations."！”
Renly's smile was a little ridiculous and helpless, and he was flattered and panicked. "Thank you, and I wish you good luck in the future." Renly answered and expressed his blessings..
