The influence of Grammy is evident！
The annual Grammy Awards are always the center of attention, but this year the focus is particularly hot. First it’s Adele, then Bruno Mars, then Renly, and Kanye West. and the Foo Fighters, one topic after another, one hot wave after another, causing a sensation throughout North America. It has become the most lively, interesting and memorable event in the past thirty years..
Facts have also proven this.
Standing twenty or thirty years in the future, and returning to the development context of the music industry after the 21st century, people suddenly discovered that this Grammy session has truly gone down in history.——
Not only because of the strong rise of new singers such as Adele, Skrill, Renly, etc., who have injected new vitality into the entire market while seizing power, but also because folk and rock have regained their momentum of recovery and reawakened independent music. People's creative enthusiasm; and because of the success of the album "Don Quixote", a seed of a dream was planted in the hearts of young people. After it took root and sprouted, a number of successors of Don Quixote were born, becoming an industry-changing important force of the status quo！
This Grammy has had an indelible impact on industry development, market structure, and even popular trends..
In the context of the Internet age and fast food culture, the mainstream momentum of electronics, dance music, and pop is unshakable. This is the general trend of the times; but in niche fields and independent spaces outside the mainstream market, bluegrass, jazz, and folk songs , rock, soul, rhythm and blues, etc. have all returned to people's attention again, with a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending..
The torrent of the times is rushing endlessly, and no one can stop it; but at least those so-called niches can still win their own place. What culture and art need is not unity, but diversity; not mainstream, but prosperity. Fifth The fourteenth Grammy Awards became a crucial turning point.
History is always like this, and an era is overturned inadvertently; but this time, when the award ceremony ended, people more or less got a glimpse of the secret..
It’s the end of another year of Grammy Awards. This year’s biggest winner is undoubtedly Adele..
There were six nominations and five trophies, including two comprehensive trophies for Production of the Year and Single of the Year. In the pop category, it defeated two strong rivals, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. Every award is full of weight! The only album of the year that failed, even though it failed, "21" was still the highest-selling album of the year in 2011！
In addition to Adele, Kanye West and the Foo Fighters, who have won four trophies, have completely dominated their music categories. Their absolutely strong performance has also become a beautiful sight; they have won three gramophones. Schrek, who won the trophy, has become a dark horse in the electronic and dance music category. With the emergence of new electronic/dance music styles, competition will become more and more fierce, and updates will become faster and faster..
Relatively speaking, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Lil Wayne, who returned empty-handed, became the losers of the night. Especially Bruno and Katy, both singers’ albums were It has achieved incredible success in the market, but in the end it was not favored by Grammy, which is disappointing..
However, after the entire award ceremony ended, the only person who could be compared with Adele was not Kanye or Bruno, but Renly.
Renly, who continues to climb the peak of his career as an actor, dedicated a wonderful album in 2011. On the 2011 summary list selected by many magazines, "Don Quixote" almost swept the entire army, with absolute success. Advantages was rated as the best, most exciting, and best album of the year, and professional reviews ushered in an explosion across the board..
However, those are just affirmations from professional music critics. This is enough to ensure that "Don Quixote" receives a Grammy nomination, but it is not enough for the album to win the Gramophone trophy - but this time it is an exception..
Best Alternative Album, Newcomer of the Year, Album of the Year. Three Gramophone trophies, from six nominations. The 50% winning rate is not high, but it includes two comprehensive awards, two with Adele. Divide the World; more importantly, this is a folk album, and it doesn’t even have its own category of folk albums.
Such a feat is incredible！
