Superstar

Looking back at the fork in the road after many years, people will clearly find that the 37th Grammy has reversed the pattern of the entire music market, rock and roll have become competitive again, and once again demonstrated the glorious momentum of the 1970s.

If it follows the original time track, then rock and roll has a brief glorious moment after entering the nineties. 1993 is even considered to be the most successful year of rock and roll after 1977, but it is a pity that this time rock and roll did not become similar to six. The overall advantage of the 10s and 1970s did not reach its peak after all.

Especially after the suicide of Kurt Cobain, it is generally believed that Nirvana's "mtv New York Unplugged" is the last classic of rock and roll. After that, although countless rock masterpieces have emerged, and rock has always been developing. There have been many outstanding rock bands, but after all, no one can continue the strength of Nirvana. All albums can only look up to the "mtv New York Unplugged" album, and there is no reappearance of the peak of rock.

However, the wheel of history has slightly deviated due to the appearance of the glory to the death. At the 37th Grammy Awards, the glory to the death was almost relied on alone to show on the stage of the sacred auditorium. The charm of grunge rock and new metal rock, the sensation and shock of the trio of singing before, and the powerful feat of winning the third prize, were all unexpected by the academy before the awards ceremony.

Coupled with the first appearance of the "Voice of Seattle" in the Academy's original plan at Grammys, this has formed a strong momentum and made a decisive change in the development trajectory of rock and roll.

After the awards ceremony, official statistics showed that the average viewership was 43 million, while the highest viewership was 48.7 million-this data appeared when Glory To Death sang "Youth Heart", and It lasted until the end of the whole performance of Glory to Death. In other words, nearly 50 million people appreciated the song "Magic Wall (, which set off a brand new frenzy. Of course, this is something.

There is another interesting aspect of the data. The average viewership before the Glory To Death performance was 38 million. After the Glory To Death performance was over, although part of the audience passed by, the overall average viewership was in a straight line. Rising, the audience clearly became interested in the award ceremony. This brought the final average viewership of the audience to 43 million.

This viewership data created the best performance of the Grammys since 1984. That year, more than 51 million viewers witnessed Michael Jackson's title of Grammy title, a record of eight trophies in a single Grammy. It has not been broken until 2014; and this year, 48 million viewers have witnessed the rock storm set off from glory to death, and witnessed the revolution of Grammys. Fate wave!

After the Grammys came to an end, overnight, the prestige of glory to death reached an unprecedented peak!

The news media launched a lively discussion about this music feast. The Grammys were originally the focus of the focus, and last night’s awards ceremony gave birth to countless focuses, from Cher-Crow’s strength to Tony-Ban. Niton's upset, from the baby-faced dominance to the hardships of the Sound Garden, from the brilliance of the movie soundtrack to the glorious surprises...Almost every topic is worth discussing, and it is also a hot spot.

Grammys haven't felt such a craze for a long time. The current trend of public opinion can be seen from the choices of major media on the front page headlines.

"Rolling Stone" magazine reported with the title "Newcomer Cher continues Donnie's strength, baby-faced godfather". Obviously, this world's most influential magazine still has no cold on Glory to the death. They focused on The popular department and rhythm and blues department-this is also the most powerful music style in the mainstream music market in the United States.

In the article, "Rolling Stone" said that "Babyface shows his talents vividly and vividly, not only in his production of his own music, but also in the sparks between him and other singers. There is no doubt that, He has a sensitive and delicate control over the current music trends of the entire mainstream market. This godfather-level singer-songwriter has dedicated one of the most exciting years of his career."

"Rolling Stone" magazine believes that Cher's victory is certainly a great success, but the biggest winner of the 37th session is Babyface.

This view was privately complained by the "Alternative Choice" magazine as "not even with rock and roll"-Cher's music style is actually rock and roll, but it is divided into the popular department by Grammys.

"Alternative Choices" did not publish this view in professional reviews, not because they were afraid of "Rolling Stones," but because "we would rather leave space to rock singers than a boring mainstream music magazine." But the ridicule of "alternative choice" was widely circulated among rock fans, but it made "Rolling Stone" a serious loss of face.

As the pioneers of indie music, "Alternative Choices" undoubtedly aimed at the great victory of rock and roll, "The strong rise of rock?" This is the news headline chosen by the magazine, and they chose the question mark as the ending, which also showed Their doubts.

In the article, the "alternative choice" expressed doubts about the Grammy's choice, and Vincent Brooke accurately and sharply detected the division within the Grammy.

On the one hand, Grammys appeared cautious in awarding alternative rock forces. Nirvana, Sound Garden, Prisoner of Alice, Pearl Sauce, Nine Inch Nails, Glory To Death, Green Day, etc. all won nominations, but they only stopped. For the nomination, in terms of the best rock band, the best female rock singer, and the best male rock singer, they have returned to traditional rock. The two awards won by Sound Garden are completely painless consolation prizes in the eyes of professionals. .

Especially Grammy once again ignored the achievements of Nirvana and Pearl Sauce, the most typical. In addition, the Green Day Band’s Best Newcomer of the Year and Best Alternative Music Awards were also won by the least alternative Green Day band-they are punk revivalists, and the Best Single of the Year Award is also an upset. These details You can see Grammy's caution.

But on the other hand, glory to death dominates three phonographs, covering the best rock song award, the best rock album award and the best production of the year award. If the first two awards are only confined to the rock and roll department, Glory To Death won with absolute strength; then the last comprehensive award is absolutely upset for Glory To Death.

Here again, we can feel Grammy's determination to make further progress on the road of reform.

This is very contradictory. Therefore, Vincent expressed his views in detail when writing the article. However, this time Vincent also gave commendations for his historic breakthrough to the death of glory.

Although the "alternatives" had always looked at Glory to death before it was not pleasing to the eye, there is a fact that cannot be refuted. Internal and external contradictions must be clearly distinguished. Glory to death ultimately represents rock and roll. More importantly, the glorious performance was praised by Vincent-this is the first time in history.

"From the silence of'one step (one step.)', to the rejection of the'young spirit', to the wall of the'lost wall', the spirit and temperament of the Glory to Death rock band is vividly demonstrated Coming out, he was rebellious, yearning for freedom, and talented. At the same time, he was endowed with his own unique positive and diverse styles that belonged to the glory to death, creating this classic performance that is memorable for a long time!"

In addition, "Alternative Choice" also believes that "the recovery of rock power in this Grammy is a great turning point. In the four years from 1991 to the present, rock and roll finally once again occupied a real place in the mainstream market. When alternative rock is no longer alternative and becomes art, where will the music market go?"

The distinctive interpretation of "Rolling Stone" and "Alternative Choice" is actually the pattern of news media public opinion trends. Public opinion led by the "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times", and "Rotation" is focusing on the rise of rock and roll. However, the news views represented by the "New York Post", "Daily News" and other media believe that pop and rhythm and blues are still the current main themes.

However, as Michael Green said in an interview, the prosperous rock and roll power is the main theme of this Grammy. Even if the news media tries to reverse this situation, nearly 5,000 viewers watching the live broadcast are enough to change the trend of public opinion. .

According to incomplete statistics, on the side of rock-or news media that endorses glory to death, there are a total of 18 mainstream media; and 13 mainstream media that choose to pay attention to Cher or Babyface; in addition, Four other mainstream media focused their attention on Tony’s upset at the Best Album of the Year award.

It can be said that the overall momentum is quite distinct.

From this perspective, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the rock revolution has been unstoppable, and glory to death has become a hot topic in the United States with this momentum. Not only the news media, but also loyal fans, especially fans of Nirvana.

After witnessing the Glory To Death version of "Young Heart", Nirvana fans clearly divided into two extremes. One group believed that Glory to Death insulted Kurt’s music. New metal rock and grunge rock are completely different. They despised the glorious performance and believed that Hugo was not worthy of being compared with Kurt; the other group believed that the rock spirit of glorious to death and Nirvana were similar. Hugo really understood Kurt, although the music of the two bands The styles are very different, but glory to death still shows the essence of rock and roll heartily. They are willing to support glory to death.

Since the rise of the glory to the death, the glory to the death and the Nirvana band have been put together for comparison, and after this Grammy, this kind of dispute has become more and more chaotic and heated, and it is difficult to draw one in a short time. result. But it is undeniable that the current reputation of glory to death can be compared with the peak moment of Nirvana.

From media reporters to professionals, from supporters to opponents, the stunning performance on the Grammy stage from glory to death has undoubtedly become the hottest news in the rock field after the suicide of Kurt Cobain last year!
