Chapter 266: Grammy (End)

As soon as the results of the awards came out, they quickly spread online.

This can't help but ask! What happened to this year's Grammys? Norah Jones and D.a., two of the biggest favourites who were expected to win "Album of the Year" and "Record of the Year", were overshadowed by the legend of Ray Charles and missed out on the grand prize.

Compared with the past, the 2005 ceremony of the 47th Grammy Awards seems to be more like a ceremony for the "father of spiritual music" in the United States. Charles's commemorative ceremony.

The Grammy jury awarded all 8 awards, including Album of the Year, to Ray Brown, who passed away in June '04. Charles, and arranged two special commemorative units: RB female singer Alicia. Keith and Jamie, who played Charles in the musical film "Ray". Fox collaborated with producer Quincy. Accompanied by an orchestra conducted by Jones, he played Charles's famous song "Georgiaonmymind", which swept the Grammys in 1960; Before the final award was awarded, the famous singer Bonnie, who won the Grammy Award 9 times. Ritter and another blues maest, Billy Preston, once again sang Ray's music.

The final award was "Record of the Year", which also went to Ray Charles' "here_we_go_again".

However, this time the biggest winner of the Grammys is not only the deceased Ray Charles, but also the Chinese singer he identified, An Yuxi from the Oriental Country, won the two awards of "Best Newcomer of the Year" and "Best Song of the Year", a total of 4 awards!

It can be said that the most dazzling star of this year's Grammy Awards is none other than this Chinese singer who has emerged in the European and American music scene.

If Ray Charles's award is force majeure, and the Grammy Awards commemorate his achievements and great contributions to the music industry, then An Yuxi has really used his own strength to be recognized by the Recording Society!

It's not an easy task! Because this achievement is completely unprecedented for a Chinese singer! It's the same for Asian singers, and it's not uncommon to say that he created a historic moment! This identity alone is enough for him to be proud of.

Also, when D.a presented the awards, the identity of the legendary Allen was also revealed to the world, he was this Chinese young man! This is enough to surprise the gentlemen in the venue! Because many people speculate that this Alan is an old man, just like Heider and them, I didn't expect it! Unexpectedly, this is just a young man in his early 20s! Not white, not black, but yellow-skinned Chinese!

Compared to the four awards won by An Yuxi, Arthur swept all the awards in the RB category, and D.a swept all the awards in the rock category, which seems to have become insignificant, and this year's man of the year will be An Yuxi.

The keywords that are now overwhelmingly appearing in newspapers and the Internet in North America are basically Ray Charles and An Yuxi.

After enumerating Ray Charles's achievements, many newspapers immediately mentioned that An Yuxi, who shined at the Grammys, as the first Chinese singer to win two Grammy awards, was like a dark horse running from the wild, disturbing the herd of horses that were grazing peacefully on the North American prairie and gaining public attention.

The "Grammy" approach was also praised by the New York Times, calling it "a major event of cross-era significance to break down the barriers of skin color and racial discrimination, and has far-reaching implications." ”

The New York Times (Thenew York Times), sometimes referred to simply as "The Times", is a daily newspaper published in New York, USA, distributed all over the world, has considerable influence, is a representative of high-end newspapers and serious publications in the United States, and has long been known for its good credibility and authority.

At the same time, it has also attracted widespread attention around the world, and the media in Europe and the United States have also paid attention to this "big event", and the most influential "Times" in Britain has also reprinted the article and commented on it.

The song "soul" sung by An Yuxi at the awards ceremony, known as "Heaven Transmission", is a dialogue with Ray Charles, which is also loved by many Ray Charles fans.

Now everyone knows that the D.a band has six members, keyboards, drums, bass, three lead singers, Yate is the lead guitar, 6 people are basically mixed-race, Jenny's grandfather is Swede, grandmother is British, "Black Bear" Pete is black, mother is American, these 6 people basically concentrate the blood of the world's 5 continents, Asia, Europe and Africa, South America and North America, and are called "the world's most representative rock band, the most comprehensive band" by the San Francisco Chronicle, can get this kind of praise, The main thing is that there is a Chinese inside! And the D.a band is a San Francisco band!

There are also media who praise An Yuxi as a singer who integrates Eastern and Western cultures, compared to the sympathy and sarcasm of the previous billboards, this time it is basically praise, and sure enough, only strength can say everything!

It can be said that An Yuxi, after passing through tonight, is now famous all over the world.

The Grammy trip was a huge success, and both the Chinese and Korean media regarded it as a great success.

According to Xinhua News Agency: "On February 21, 2005, the first Chinese singer An Yuxi won four Grammy awards, including 'Best Newcomer of the Year' and 'Best Song of the Year', becoming the biggest winner of this Grammy!" And gave an acceptance speech in Chinese! ”

For this exciting news, the Chinese singers were all overjoyed and sent congratulatory messages to congratulate them, and some newspapers directly used such a headline, "For more than 40 years, the Grammys finally have a Chinese voice!" ”

As the first Chinese singer to win the Grammy Award, An Yuxi has undoubtedly won the attention and praise of China-speaking countries in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait, including Singapore and Malaysia, which is not only his glory, but also the glory of the Chinese!

As he said at the end, "I feel very honored and excited at this time, not just because of this award, but because I am a descendant of Yan and Huang!" ”

This sentence is so relieving! That's a great point to say! It's too long! With this sentence, An Yuxi also has countless hot-blooded fans.

When he heard An Yuxi say this, even the ninety-year-old old man Chen Yun couldn't help but feel agitated, and he felt heroic, and praised him, "What a little Anzi, he didn't embarrass us Chinese, and he didn't embarrass our descendants of Yan and Huang."

"Bring the wine! Just because of this sentence, Lao Tzu also wants to him three big bowls! "The old man is really happy, he still uses the tone of Peking Opera, and he is heroic and dry.

"Ahem!" The old Chinese medicine doctor was happy to see his eldest brother, and he was embarrassed to splash him with cold water, "Xiao Chengzi posted a post!" ”

"What about the others?"

"It's all gone!"

"Well, then call back! Lao Tzu wants to drink! ”

“・・・”

In South Korea now, Ahn Woo's popularity can only be described as bursting, and perhaps the impact of this news can only be compared to the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki back then.

The national media is basically full of praise, Ahn Yuxi has won the Grammy Award, and now the whole of South Korea is in a festive atmosphere, some media say that Ahn Yuxi has successfully promoted to the level of "world-class superstar" since then, and even compared him to Michael Jackson.

"Voices to conquer America!"

When Ahn Woo-seo thanked him in Korean, first he thanked his mother, and then thanked the fans, a few minutes of speech, this video was put on the news of the whole day the next day by sBs TV, KBs TV, and even mBc TV, which had a grudge against Ahn Woo-hee, and the recording was broadcast to the radio station, probably at the same time TV and radio were Ahn Yuxi's thank-you speeches...

This video was also intercepted separately and uploaded to the Internet, and it reached 2 million hits in a short period of time, and it has been reprinted countless times, and now this is what people are talking about, and now the complete video is only available to An Yuxi's Fanclub, but I ignored the previous thanks in Chinese.

"'King Singer' Ahn Woo-seo gave a speech in Korean at the Grammys! It is the pride of our Republic of Korea! That's what Dong-A Ilbo said.

Now that South Korean newspapers basically automatically ignore the fact that Ahn Woo was a Chinese-American, who called him also Korean?

For a time, the titles of "King Singer", "National Treasure", and "King of Pop" frequently appeared in the headlines of major newspapers, and it is no exaggeration to say that An Yuxi, who won the Grammy Award, is the monarch who successfully crowned the crown in the Asian pop music scene.

All Asians will be proud of his achievements, because he has been branded as Asian, and the proudest are of course the Chinese music scene and the Korean music industry.

It's like going through a baptism of a storm, and now Ahn Woo-seo's popularity in South Korea is only as good as the president, or more popular than the president.

No matter what the outside world says about him, An Yuxi is being interviewed at this time, and reporters from various media have already surrounded the hotel, because there is too little news about this person, and it is necessary to confirm that he is the lead singer and producer of D.a, there are not too many questions!

D.a is so promising, so why did he leave D.A to go to South Korea alone? This is also something that many media are eager to know.

In the past few days, An Yuxi has been very busy, accepting interviews with Xinhua News Agency reporters from the motherland, including the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Time Magazine, and other Xinhua News Agency reporters, as well as talk shows from various TV stations, as a singer, publicity is still a must!

In recognition of An Yuxi's musical contributions as a Chinese, the City of San Francisco decided to set February 21 as "An Yu's past". An Yuxi is not the first person to receive this honor, only Jacky Cheung, Liming, Run Run Shaw, and Anita Mui have won this honor before.

In the subsequent edition of Time magazine, Ahn appeared on the cover of the Asian and American editions, and in Asia, Time became one of the best-selling books.

As a man of the hour, An Yuxi also appeared on the cover of the main American edition and the Asian edition of Time Magazine, which is also a great honor for a well-known figure, and is praised as "a figure who breaks the barriers of skin color and race in the 21st century", and the Asian edition of Time Magazine even called him "the king of Asian pop".
