852 Real sense of explosion
Paul McCartney takes the stage.
This legendary superstar’s resume and honor list need no introduction at all. His existence itself is already a legend. After the disbandment of The Beatles, as a solo singer, Paul has still contributed countless classic masterpieces in the past decades, not only He reserved a seat in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame early, and his influence on future generations of music lovers is extremely profound..
Tonight, Paul made a grand appearance as the presenter to announce the last award of the award ceremony: Album of the Year Award！
On the Grammy stage, the weight, weight and quality of the four comprehensive awards are unparalleled, and among them, the Producer of the Year Award and the Album of the Year Award are slightly better. The former is the highest award dedicated to honoring producers. This year, it was awarded by Adele is in her arms; the latter is dedicated to commending the artistic quality of the entire album, which is equivalent to the Oscar for Best Picture..
This year’s five nominees for Album of the Year are Adele’s “21,” Bruno Mars’ “Double and Tramp,” Foo Fighters’ “Wasting-Light,” and Lady Gaga. "Born-This-Way", Renly's "Don Quixote"”.
Among the five albums, "21", "Double and the Gangster", and "Born to Be Perfect" are all in the pop genre, and all three works were shortlisted for the best pop album - "21" won. Pop and electronics are undoubtedly the main trends in today's trends, even replacing the dominance of hip-hop and rhythm and blues, dominating the entire market.
“"Abandoned Light" is a rock genre, which is gradually declining. In the past three Grammys, it was not even nominated for the four major comprehensive awards. This year, the strength of the Foo Fighters has once again brought rock back to the forefront. In people's sight, at least it got a nomination. Of course, this work also won the best rock album award..
“"Don Quixote" is a folk song, a folk song that seems to have been forgotten by the passage of time..
The last time a folk song appeared in the Grammy Album of the Year nominations was ten years ago in 2002, Bob Dylan's "Love Theft", but it was a mix of folk and rock. , jazz, country and other styles of works; as for pure folk albums, Bob Dylan is still among the nominees. His 1998 album "Time-Out-Of-Mind" won that year won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, the last folk album to win the Album of the Year award..
After the nomination list is released, "21" is undoubtedly the favorite to win, and its strongest opponent is "Double and the Gangster"; before the award ceremony is about to end, "21" is still the biggest favorite to win, "The Light of Abandoned" became the most powerful attacker.
So, will the fashion industry dominate this year? Or is rock and roll counterattacking? Or maybe……
Renly returns backstage.
However, compared with just now, the situation seemed to have changed slightly. The singers and staff gathered backstage came forward one after another and expressed their congratulations sincerely. The bustling and endless flow of congratulatory people was completely overwhelmed, and the entire backstage It was very lively. In the short distance from the stage to the waiting room, Renly met at least thirty people..
John Legend, who was traveling with him, was also smiling. He seemed to catch the helplessness in Renly's eyes and said jokingly, "You will adapt. Not because of this trophy, but because you are an actor. You know, like a group of ducks In the middle, a swan suddenly appeared, and the situation suddenly became subtle..”
For singers, there is a barrier between them and actors, and they always look up involuntarily; however, an annual newcomer award, and more importantly, the acceptance speech, quietly broke the barrier between them. , little by little the distance between each other was shortened, and then the situation changed..
Of course, as one of the four comprehensive awards, Rookie of the Year is not as important as the Best Alternative Album Award. It is even more rare than the other three comprehensive awards, because this is for every singer. A prize you can only compete for once in your entire career: Renly, take it.
“Are you sure I am a swan? I always feel that I am a kitten who refuses to go into the water." Renly's teasing once again hinted at his status as an "actor", but it did not come in a condescending manner, but with a hint of self-deprecating joke, and successfully made John happily laugh. laughed.
Entering the most spacious waiting room, Nathan stood not far from the door and took the initiative to greet him. The astonishment and surprise on his face could not be concealed at all. He opened his mouth wide and just sighed, but could not formulate any words at all; standing in the bustling crowd Andy and Roy in the crowd also looked at them, expressing incredible surprise with their eyes..
However, before they had time to talk, the bustling waiting room suddenly became quiet, and someone said, "It will be announced soon."！”
Therefore, Renly and John did not take a step forward, and raised their heads to look at the big screen hanging in the corner. On the screen, Paul McCartney was opening the envelope, preparing to announce the last award tonight, and also the most important one. an award, almost everyone held their breath involuntarily：
Can Adele complete the sweep? Prior to this, she had five nominations and won five awards. Can Adele continue her strong performance and complete tonight's big win? Two years ago, Beyoncé swept six gramophone trophies at the Grammys, but regretted that she lost the Album of the Year award to Taylor Swift. So this year, Adele can tie Beyoncé’s record and tie. Is she called the female singer with the most awards in a single session? Can Adele’s perfect night come to a successful conclusion?？
If...just if, someone is upset, then who will it be?？
Witnessing historical moments is always extremely stressful. To be precise, the bystanders are even more nervous than the parties involved..
Renly looked around the waiting room for a week. Everyone was so nervous that even the sound of heartbeat and breathing seemed to have completely disappeared; before that, Renly always felt like a bystander..
But at this moment, the synchronized scene of the pioneer village began to appear in my mind. The scene must be very interesting; and Heather, if she was sitting in front of the TV, waiting for the last award, her expression would be very funny..
Gradually, Renly began to be involved in it, no longer a bystander, but a participant, truly feeling the tension, the anticipation, the excitement, just like the wings of a butterfly, starting to flutter and incite..
Grammy, unprecedented realism and clarity, even the gramophone trophy in my hand seems to be getting hot..
“"Tear it." Paul tore open the envelope and pulled out the card. He did not deliberately create suspense. He lowered his head to read the card and then said loudly, "The winner of the 54th Grammy Award for Album of the Year is..." Paul seemed to have some presbyopia. , had to pull the card slightly away, frowned, read it carefully, and confirmed the winner..
Unintentionally, this small movement made the air in the whole place freeze. The sweat in the palms of the hands and the heart in the chest were compressed to the extreme. If they were not released, they seemed to explode. It only took half a second. , but it seemed like a long century had passed, and then at ten times the speed of slow motion, I saw Paul leaning towards the microphone and announcing the result in a loud voice..
“‘Don Quixote', Renly Hall.”
Time stopped and solidified at this moment, and even the flow of air had lost its meaning; the brain completely stopped, interpreting, thinking, savoring, reacting... and then gradually understood the meaning of this sentence and these words. What are you talking about? In an instant, a roar of applause erupted..
Folk, the Grammy chose folk. Since 1998, after a lapse of fourteen years, the Grammy has once again awarded the Album of the Year to a folk album, an independent folk album, a niche genre, and an album without There is no work on the stage for publicity. It is a work that truly returns to music and sticks to music. It is a work that reawakens people's enthusiasm for music..
Bold, crazy, courageous.
The 54-year-old Grammy has shown incredible courage and determination. Among this year's winners, a group of 22- and 23-year-olds have become popular, and rock and ballads have made a comeback. When people see it, music seems to have returned to its purest era..
Just about the music.
“Ahhhh! "The entire waiting room was like a volcanic eruption, exploding vigorously, complementing the auditorium at the venue, and the entire Staples Stadium began to shake mightily..
Nathan hugged Renly reflexively, but he couldn't say a word, not even a sound. He was caught off guard and started to cry so hard that he couldn't control himself; even Roy and Andy The two of them also froze on the spot, feeling lost and at a loss, and the focus of their vision gradually began to blur..
Such joy comes too suddenly and too fiercely.
Everyone in the waiting room rushed up and congratulated Renly crazily; amidst the surging crowd, John Legend remained calm, supported Renly and left the waiting room quickly, and then raised his voice and said, " Come on stage, this is your moment!" John patted Renly's back hard, a simple gesture that contained all the congratulations and excitement..
For John, the victory of folk music is far greater than the meaning of a trophy..
At the position of knight and soul, John is no longer alone at last. He is also a Don Quixote, and now he has found another Don Quixote. Behind the bright smile, there is a warmth in his eyes, and he is heavy , patted Renly's arm hard again, "Go quickly.！”
Joy, until now, Renly has really felt that crazy joy, just like the Emmy Awards, like Sundance, just like the Berlin Film Festival. He won the award, as a singer, As a dreamer, he won an award, on the Grammy stage.
This sense of reality hit my chest like never before and started burning..
Renly forced himself to calm down, but it was not an easy task. He turned around, handed the gramophone trophy in his hand to John, and then stepped forward again, accelerating towards the stage. However, his fingers began to lose control. The ground trembled slightly.
He won an award as a singer.
