The award ceremony is coming to an end, and the awards have been announced one by one. The Jets and Kanye West, who have won four major trophies in their respective departments, and Adele, who has defeated their rivals and won three trophies, shined in the first half of tonight's event. , has undoubtedly become the strongest contender for the four comprehensive awards..
Among the newcomers, DJ Shirek unexpectedly won three gramophone trophies, seizing an advantage in the competition for the annual newcomer award..
In addition to Skrillek, Renly, who has won one trophy, Taylor Swift, who has won two trophies, and tonight's biggest favorite, Adele, are all born in 1988 and 1989. He can be called an important representative of the new generation, and this has also become one of the main themes of tonight's award ceremony..
As for Bruno Mars, who has great fame during the nomination stage, he still has not won a single award so far, which is disappointing. However, Bruno is not alone. Lil-Wayne received five nominations but also failed to win one. They are both fallen people in the end of the world, and they can be called the biggest disappointments tonight..
The awards in all major categories have been settled, and only the last four comprehensive awards are left in the entire awards ceremony.！
Among the four comprehensive awards, the first to be announced is the Song of the Year Award. The five nomination seats belong to Kanye West and Rihanna's "All the Light", Bruno Mars' "Grenade", Ah Dale's "The Fall", Bon-Iver's "The Holocene", Renly's "Cleopatra"”.
Among them, Adele swept the pop music scene in 2011 with her song "Rolling-In-The-Deep", and her powerful influence spread to every corner of the world, regardless of Whether it’s physical sales and digital music sources, streaming media data, or the number of covers and discussions on the Internet, it’s all ahead..
The other four competitors, two popular pop hits, and two eccentric ballads, receiving a nomination is a victory, and it is almost impossible to shake Adele's status. The only one who can compete is probably Kanye; but Even Kanye succumbed to the fanatical popularity of "Falling Into the Abyss".
The Song of the Year Award is suspenseful but not suspenseful at all..
This is also true, there are no upsets. Adele won the Song of the Year Award without any suspense, winning the first trophy of the four comprehensive awards, continuing her strong performance tonight..
Then the annual production award was announced.
The so-called Production Award of the Year and Song of the Year Award are actually awards given to a certain single, but the difference is that the Production Award honors the producer team, while the Song Award honors the singer. Therefore, Norah Jones won the award that year. When she won the four major comprehensive awards as a newcomer, the annual production award belonged to her song, but in fact it was not her award..
Among the production of the year awards were Adele's "Into the Abyss," Bruno's "Grenade," Monfort Sons' "The Cave," Bon-Iver's "Bon-Iver," Renly's "Cleopatra." "Terra", five songs entered the final round.
Of the five nominations, four of them coincided with the Song of the Year award. The only misalignment was that the Mumford Sons replaced Kanye West. In a sense, this also gave an early hint that Kanye's seven nominations Compared to Adele, the nominations are still slightly inferior in quality and weight. This seems to indicate Adele’s sweep tonight..
Of course, this is just a theoretical prediction; the only difference is that tonight, the prediction was successful.
“Adele, Paul-Epworth, 'Falling into the Abyss.'" From the live sound, the same name rang out for the fifth time tonight..
“For the single "Falling into the Abyss", Adele and Paul Epworth teamed up to complete all the writing work of lyrics, score and arrangement. As a result, Adele also became the winner of the annual best production award. One of the award recipients personally received his fifth trophy tonight..
So far, with five nominations and five awards, Adele has a 100% success rate in winning awards. Adele has shown a sweeping appearance, completely turning 2011 into the year she reached the top.！
Since Britney Spears, in the past ten years, the global music market has not seen a new generation of female superstars - the powerful singers such as Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Rihanna. There is no doubt about their influence, but for the title of "new generation superstar", they are still on their way to the top, far less than what Adele has achieved in the past year..
The four comprehensive awards, which were originally supposed to be suspenseful and exciting, turned out to be Adele's final moment after they were announced one after another.！
Since Norah Jones swept the Grammys in 2003 and won five Grammy trophies, including four major comprehensive categories, nine years later, Adele once again showed the momentum of winning all the awards. The only pity is that , two years ago, Adele had already won the Newcomer of the Year Award, which also made the history of sweeping the four major comprehensive awards tonight doomed to be impossible..
Now, Adele has just one final nomination left before tonight's glorious moment of achievement: Album of the Year.
However, before the final suspense was revealed, the Newcomer of the Year Award was the first to appear, and John-Legend took to the stage as the award guest..

What is even more commendable is that soul and jazz have declined, and even rhythm and blues has begun to decline. Many similar singers have been forced to move to pop, electronic, dance music and other fields. However, John has always stuck to his own music style and worked conscientiously. Complete creation again and again.
Six years have passed since he won the Best New Artist of the Year award, and John has added five more Grammy trophies. He has become the backbone of the retro rhythm and blues singer. In a sense, he is also a dream keeper. ; Tonight, it’s really appropriate for him to award the Rookie of the Year award..
Renly Hall, Perry Band, Bon-Iver, Schrek, and Nicki Minaj. These five groups of newcomers will start a battle for success. This is also known as the most fierce competition in the past decade. A Newcomer of the Year Award because all five candidates have the potential to win the award..
With their song "If-I-Die-Young", the country-style Perry Band has received enthusiastic support from critics, and its popularity is even as high as that of Taylor Swift, Antebellum, etc. People; they only received one nomination for the Grammy this year, which aroused a lot of consternation. But obviously, they are the absolute favorite to win the award..

At a time when electronic and dance music are popular, he, who is a DJ, has He made a name for himself with his creative talents, and his career as a singer was also highly recognized. Before the award ceremony, he was not a popular person; but now, he is.
Bon-Iver is a singer from the same lineup as Renly: independent, folk, self-composed, unknown, eccentric, unique in style, and maverick. Before the Grammy Awards, both groups of singers were on the radar of the media. In addition, then came out shockingly. The former received five nominations, and the latter received six nominations, which shocked everyone..
“Bon-Iver" and "Don Quixote" have received unanimous praise for their musicality and artistry. The media's comprehensive ratings are far ahead, even surpassing Adele, Bruno Mars and Kanye. West's three popular singers have become the most recognized works in the industry in 2011.
Objectively speaking, these two groups of singers are not popular. At least relatively speaking, the other three groups of singers have a higher chance of winning. However, the trend of Grammy awards tonight is really intriguing. If it is an upset, it seems that it will not be popular. It should be too surprising.
The five nominees for New Artist of the Year correspond to country, hip-hop, electronic, folk/rock, and folk respectively. From a certain perspective, the final winner also indicates the Grammy's prediction and inference of the future direction of the music market. It is a vital benchmark for the entire music industry..
Under the spotlight, John Legend opened the envelope in his hand, pulled out the card inside, lowered his head to read the card, and said into the microphone, "At the 54th Grammy, the winner of the New Artist of the Year is……”
John raised his head, looked through the layers of light curtains, and looked at the auditorium in front of him. He paused for a moment and let the suspense surge in the air. After all, this should be the most suspenseful among the four comprehensive awards. an award.
As if he felt the tension of the audience, even the air became tense. John chuckled and said jokingly, "Now I know what it feels like to stand on the stage at such a critical moment." The whole audience let out a soft chuckle. Laughter, but it quickly subsided. In tense moments, even the thought of making jokes was gone..
This time, John didn’t play tricks anymore and directly announced the answer, “The winner of Rookie of the Year is: Renly Hall..”
……
