1754.Chapter 1754 1754 Kill the suspense

Liam Gallagher's pale cheeks were barely bloody, and the absolute strength of the glory to death spread all his anger one after another, and then retreated, and finally he could not even get angry, like a tattered rag doll, slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the stage.

If Mariah Carey had been sitting next to her, she would have been able to understand Liam's desperation — anger, jealousy, hatred, a myriad of flavors that made her want nothing more than scream, scream, and scream. The clenched fist had no intuition at all, and even a broken fingernail didn't bring Maria back to her senses.

Because little by little, Maria's faith is also crushed by glory to death, which is simply a great shame!

Compared to Maria's hardships in the pop department and the rhythm and blues department, when the dust settles on the various awards in the rock department, it also becomes a moment of glory to death. After gaining four gramophones in one fell swoop, Glory to Death has achieved a sweep in the rock department, and if you add the non-classical producer of the year that Hugo won before the awards ceremony, then Glory to Death has five trophies in hand so far!

Ahead of the rock division awards, Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton, Lean Remus, and The Beatles led the way tonight with two gramophone trophies each. But now, glory to death swept through five gramophones, and in the blink of an eye, it was the biggest winner of tonight's history-making night.

At this point, people finally understood why the recording academy had made a special trip to Europe to invite glory to death, because if the owner of the five gramophones did not appear on the stage tonight, the Grammys, who had always regarded themselves as authority, would be reduced to a complete joke. This is a huge difference from the Oscars and Golden Globes, because all five gramophones belong to one band, and more importantly, the Grammys express their determination to change in this way, so the recording academy cannot afford to be absent from glory to death.

But does this end the pace of glory unto death? No one can give an answer, because the Grammys are not over, and the real heavyweight awards are about to be revealed: the four major awards in the general category are here!

This time, it's no longer a battle within the music genre, but a big scuffle across all music genres. After defeating the Oasis band to dominate the rock department, Glory to Death will face Maria head-to-head this time! It will also be the final battle of the century in 1996 that shook the world's music market, rock or pop? Or, more accurately, will pop join forces with rhythm and blues to dominate the market, or will the rock 'n' roll resurgence reign supreme?

Will the market's choice be the same as the Grammy's choice?

Maria struggled to begin to take deep breaths, to cool the heat in her chest a little, otherwise she herself didn't know what was going to happen. Maria told herself that this was the Grammy, not the Oscars.

Category awards do not have a direct impact on the general category, because it is a comprehensive consideration of the entire music market, just as rock has been suppressed in the last decade, as if pop has always been the darling of the market, as if the status of the country can never be shaken...... The strength of the classification sector has had a very limited impact on the general awards. In the last decade, pop and country have been the big winners in the overall category, and Rhythm & Blues has risen strongly since the 90s, which is the trajectory of the entire market.

Just like the past few Grammys, even if the glory to death performance is good and strong, "Bathing in the Morning Light" has won two Best Production of the Year awards only by relying on Hugo's personal talent, and has always missed the Best Single of the Year and Album of the Year awards. Not to mention the Newcomer of the Year award, which has no second chance after missing it.

This year, Hugo has already won the award of Non-Classical Producer of the Year ahead of schedule. In other words, in the competition of the four major comprehensive awards, Glory to Death is still at a disadvantage. "What's more...... What's more, Glory to Death has been swept in the rock department, which is the biggest praise of the Grammys for Glory to Death. This also means that the four comprehensive awards should still be the world of pop and rhythm and blues! ”

Countless thoughts were surging in Maria's mind, and confidence returned to her body little by little, but the cold and stiff fingertips still revealed the irritability and anxiety in her heart at the moment.

When the first Newcomer of the Year award was announced, Leanne Remus was announced, which made Maria breathe a long sigh of relief, and the smile on her face immediately bloomed, and even gave the fourteen-year-old a heartfelt round of applause. Because, this result confirmed Maria's inner thoughts, and it immediately gave her confidence.

The top five finalists for this year's Newcomer of the Year award are the grunge band for rock, the band Undoubtedly, the pop beads, the Tony Richie Enterprises for the rhythm and blues, and the Lean for the country.

Judging from the list of nominees, rock has maintained its strength in the last three years, not only occupying two spots, but also being very strong - the garbage band are the favorites to win the championship before the awards ceremony; Pop, rhythm and blues and country are still the main components of the market at the moment, and the performance of the three newcomers is also commendable.

But now, with the Newcomer of the Year award going to Rian Lean, a 14-year-old girl, the Grammys have chosen a young girl who is still underage rather than a trash band that is behind the scenes pushing grunge rock into the mainstream. This not only continues the Grammys' style over the past few years, but also reaffirms the country's status as the king.

So, Maria was relieved. She is convinced that the prospect of glory to death in the four major awards has hit rock bottom.

This was followed by the ...... The award for Single of the Year, rather than Production of the Year or Album of the Year, came as a surprise to Maria, as the Best Single of the Year award was the biggest gimmick of the four categories and the only troika in the four categories to be nominated.

Maria originally thought that the Grammys would put this award at the end and also save the suspense for the end.

The top five nominees for the Best Single of the Year award were, "Change." The。 World)" and "Because You Love Me. You。 Loved。 Me)", "Sweetheart", "Do You Know What I Mean", "Sailing"!

Eric Clapton and Babyface for the movie "Not the Same Ben." Although the film performed mediocre at the box office, its theme song was highly recognized, not only winning the Gramophone trophy for Best Pop Male Singer for Eric, but also being shortlisted for the Best Single of the Year and Best Production of the Year.

Celine Dion's single "Because You Love Me" is also a rave reviews, this single is from Celine's album "Falling in Love", which won the best pop album, and was nominated for two comprehensive awards for Best Single of the Year and Best Production of the Year, which was affirmed by the Grammys.

Needless to say, the other three nominees are the troika of the battle of the century. It is worth mentioning that "Sailing" defeated another classic song called "Young" by Glory to Death. Volcanoes" made it to the final five, which was also hotly debated, with many expressing dissatisfaction with the choice - or believing that the "young volcanoes" should "sail" together to make it to the final five.

Among the five seats, Eric, Celine and Maria are all in the pop department, while Honor to Death and Oasis are the representatives of rock, and the nominees once again feel the confrontation of the entire North American music market over the past year. It's just that, in the eyes of the Grammys, pop still has the upper hand, and even though rock 'n' roll is menacing, they still give pop more affirmation.

The competition for the Best Single of the Year award is arguably the most intense of the four categories this year, with not only the troika, but also the other two nominees also making it to the list of best productions of the year, which shows that the Grammys judged to be guided by the opinion of the five songs - the five songs are evenly matched. This is also the most suspenseful of all the Grammys this year!

Now, the Grammys have uncharacteristically announced the biggest suspense in advance, which suddenly made the entire Staples Arena tense, and the air began to become hot, as if the slightest cough would rub out flames, and people couldn't help but hold their breath.

In the midst of all the attention, last year's winner of the award, Schill, walked onto the stage, and he could clearly feel all eyes on his shoulders, even making his steps extremely heavy, each step was so difficult, as if the microphone that was close at hand was floating on the other side of the sea of suffering—never to be reached.

Maria looked at the bright yellow halo in the center, the light gradually faded, only made her feel dizzy, all the scenery was blurred, even Syl's figure was only a scribbled silhouette, and then all the sounds of the world disappeared, only the sound of her heart beating, "Poof...... Puff ......" beat very slowly, it seemed like a full century after the first stroke, and the second one came, the heart rate that slowed down thousands of times and tens of thousands of times made everything around her infinitely still, and she could only sit completely stiff in place, unable to even move her fingertips.

Could it be her? Could Schill's name be her? Will she be the winner of this award? If not for her...... No, the winner of this award must be her, there is no other choice. The song "Sweetheart" embodies her countless efforts, not only making bold attempts in arrangement, but also bringing her singing skills to the extreme. So, it's her, it must be her!

"Poof...... Open...... Burst............ ............ "Maria only felt that the whole world was getting slower and slower, and all the sounds had evolved into distant echoes, as if in a vacuum in space, and then she saw Schill open the envelope, slowly raised her head with a movement that had slowed down thousands of times, and pointed into the microphone and spoke, but Schill had already spoken, but Maria couldn't hear any sound, and there was still silence around her.

Maria could only squint her eyes, trying her best to judge from the shape of Sill's mouth, that ...... Who, exactly, is that? "Ma ...... Or is it a seat...... Liz ......"

Is it her? Is it really her? Is the suspense just stifled? Has the greatest suspense of the thirty-ninth Grammys been stifled like this?
