Superstar

The first half of the awards ceremony ended in a slightly weird atmosphere. The young Neil Young was unable to set off again*. It seems that everyone’s enthusiasm and energy have been exhausted, which makes The atmosphere of the ceremony was slightly deserted.

At the same time, the intermission period is even more lively and extraordinary for the reporters. Almost everyone is discussing the glorious performance. They are all thinking about how to write the news headline tomorrow and how to highlight today. How can the shock of the night detonate this news? More importantly, what reporting angle should they choose, and what will the Grammy official say?

Although I don’t know the reason, Glory To Death did not perform his nominated song. Instead, he performed two unreleased tracks from the "Bath in the Morning Light" album, and performed the most classic "Youth Heart" by Nirvana; more Not to mention the chaos in the sound engineer and lighting engineer, the reporters are all watching it. So they know there must be some tricks in it, so how should they report it?

The short intermission adjustment time, but quietly brewing a new round of storms, perhaps, this is the most exciting part after the hurricane hit, the craziness of the hurricane crossing has become a thing of the past, and now they must To face the chaos left by the hurricane.

After the start of the second half, the Grammys have clearly restored order. No matter what happened just now, at least the awards ceremony must end smoothly tonight, and other things can wait.

The awards are still going on. In the R&B department, Babyface became the biggest winner. He himself won the best male R&B singer, and his disciple Donnie Bryston won the best female blues singer. The best rhythm and blues combination was won by the boy-man group produced by Babyface, the best rhythm and blues combination was "two boys, two men" from the boy-man group, and the best rhythm and blues song was from the boy-man group" I will stay with you"-this song was composed by Baby Face.

It can be said that Babyface dominates the entire R&B department alone, with a terrifying momentum. The boy-man group, which is in fierce confrontation with Glory to Death, relies on the album "Two Boys, Two Men" to rise strongly, and has become one of the most popular groups in the United States today.

The Best Alternative Music Album Award was not upset this year. The Grammys did not repeat the mistake of awarding the alternative awards to mainstream singers last year. The Green Day band won the award successfully with the album "Scum" which turned out to be born. It’s just that Billy Joe’s acceptance speech will definitely not make Grammys like, "Hugo, you are my man, the man I admire the most! Glory to death!" Then Billy Joe made a rock gesture. , And then stepped down.

I'm afraid the faces of those high-level people are scary green at this time.

Immediately afterwards, other awards in the rock department were also announced. The best female rock singer was won by Melissa Iseliji (.), who has finally won widespread popularity after six years of debut. This is a pop rock and country rock. The main style of female rock singer is one of the few outstanding female rock singers in the history of American rock and roll. She also publicly expressed her homosexuality at the 1992 presidential inauguration ceremony, and she continued to fight the disease after suffering from breast cancer. , Has become a role model, a rare exception in the mainstream music market.

The best male rock singer belonged to Bruce Springsteen without any suspense. He defeated his powerful competitor Neil Young and finally aspired the title by relying on the unparalleled classic "Philadelphia Street" in the original soundtrack of the "Philadelphia Story" movie.

Intriguingly, the winner of the best rock band was the Smith Spaceship Band. This result made many people smile playfully. It's not that the Smith spacecraft is not good enough. Their "Restricted Ego" released in 1993 is generally regarded as the last classic album of the pop metal era, which is the last glory of traditional rock under the impact of grunge rock.

But the problem is that the album "Constraining Oneself" was released in April 1993. Twenty-three months have passed since then. Now the Grammys have awarded this award to the Smith spacecraft-they have been in the past year. There is only one selected album, which is really funny.

More interestingly, the other four bands competing with the Smith spacecraft are Nirvana, Pearl Sauce, Green Day and Glory To Death. Two grunge rock bands, two emerging rock bands-the former is a punk revival force, and the latter is a representative force of new metal rock.

In the face of four major bands in the 1990s, the Smith spacecraft, which retains the last glory of the traditional rock power, stood out, and relied on the album released 23 months ago. How can this make people wonder? Woolen cloth?

Just when everyone thought that this year’s Grammys would come to an end with a conservative attitude, Grammys gave another surprise again. The Best Hard Rock Performance Award was finally awarded to Sound Garden, which became the 37th Another feat of the Grammys: This is the first gramophone trophy of grunge rock on the Grammys!

After the Best Rock Song Award was awarded to Glory To Death for an unprecedented time, the Sound Garden also represented the first time the "Sound of Seattle" reached the top of the Grammys. However, if you look at the list of nominations for this award, the historical significance will be weakened a lot. The Prisoner of Alice, Green Day, Pearl Sauce, and Glory To Death have become contenders for the Sound Garden. The Grammys simply made a choice between the grunge rock power and the new rock power, and they chose the former.

Is this conservative?

However, Sound Garden subsequently won the Best Metal Rock Award, defeating two indie rock bands, anthrax and open enemy (anthrax&.enemy), Rollins Band (.band); and two heavy metal bands, McGaid Megadeth and Pantera took the lead in getting their second phonograph tonight. From this perspective, it is also a breakthrough for Grammys.

Grammy chose to commend the Sound Garden instead of Alice Prisoner and Pearl Paste, and this is also for a reason. From a historical point of view, Sound Garden created grunge rock far earlier than Nirvana. Before Kurt Cobain created Nirvana, Sound Garden had already launched two grunge rock episodes in the underground music circle. It is Nirvana Band who really sings grunge rock, but in terms of absolute strength, Sound Garden is definitely not inferior to Nirvana Band, and in terms of live performance skills, Sound Garden is slightly better.

Therefore, the sound garden can be the beneficiary of this Grammy revolution, not without roots.

It can be seen from the distribution of these awards that the Grammys are indeed determined to keep up with the trend. They invited bands such as Glory to Death and Pearl Paste to the awards ceremony. They also presented awards to Glory to Death and Voice. Garden; but on the other hand, Grammys are always worried that they are too different, the pace of reform is too fast, and they always want to find a balance. This is how the Smith spacecraft won the best rock band. , Of course, the cancellation of the Kurt-Cobain memorial link, the commendation of the sound garden of the grunge veteran instead of the pearl sauce that has swept the army in the past two years.

The award for Best Rock Album was then awarded again, which broke the "unpopular" again, pushing the ambivalence of Grammys even further.

Five bands competed for the best rock album award. The Nirvana band's "New York Unplugged", which was named the last classic, did not meet the deadline. I missed the Grammy this time and can only participate in the next year's competition. One time they joined the competition on behalf of them was the album "Zi. Inside the Palace", which won two nominations for Nirvana, but it did not include the best rock album award.

The "Voodoo Store (. of the Rolling Stones, the "Beast" of the Fast-Flying Band, the "Duel" of Pearl Sauce and the "Super Unknown" of the Sound Garden, and the glorious "bath in the morning light", These five albums entered the final battle.

Two veteran rock bands, two grunge rock bands, and a new metal rock band. This almost reproduces the pattern of the top five nominated best rock bands, but the bands have made some adjustments.

Objectively speaking, the quality of the three albums of Pearl Sauce, Sound Garden, and Glory To Death is obviously superior. The albums of The Rolling Stones and Quick Turning Eyes, whether in terms of completion, professional reputation, sales, popularity, vocalization, etc. From a perspective, neither can be compared. From this perspective, it is clear that the final award should be produced among the first three bands.

However, the contradictions and hesitations of the Grammys have made this award more variable. However, Grammy’s one-hand balance is very clever. Traditional rock has won four major awards in the rock department. The best female rock singer, male singer and band are all traditional rock ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The two awards won by Sound Garden were obviously not enough, so in the last award of the rock department, the Grammy played a balance.

But even if it was balanced, it still caused an uproar in the audience.

When the voice of the award-presenting guests came out of the microphone, "The 37th Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, the winner is,'bath in the morning light', glory to death", the whole audience can clearly hear the sucking A cold voice—not to mention the others, even the five members who were so glorious to death were startled.

After finishing the performance, the attention of the members of Glory To Death can finally return to the award ceremony, so this time they did not miss it. Although leading the nomination stage with eight nominations and winning the best rock song award, the glorious members are still like outsiders, watching the award ceremony easily and comfortably-especially during their performances. After slapped the Grammys, they felt even more that they couldn't win the prize at all.

However, the accident was born. Glory to death-The glory that just broke the Grammy's face to death, relying on the album "Bath in the Morning Light" won the best rock album award, and won the second phonograph tonight, but also created history.

On the scene, stupefied again and again!
