Los Angeles is buzzing again, not only because of the arrival of the annual Grammys, but also because of the fact that the shocking battle of the century in 1996 will be recognized on the official stage; At the same time, because of the glory to death, he rushed back from Europe and will appear on the stage of the Grammys, and the momentum of the ultimate showdown will continue.

Not long ago, the 39th Grammys announced the list of nominees for this year, the most notable of which is undoubtedly the troika of Glory to Death, Mariah Carey and Oasis.

Throughout the ages, the Grammys, like the Oscars, have also had many top masters who have never been recognized by a gramophone, such as Queen, such as the West Side Boys, such as the Backstreet Boys, such as Led Zeppelin, such as Fifty Cents, such as the Gate...... But it is undeniable that the Grammys, as the most commercial and topical top professional awards ceremony in the world, are only a handful of their authority, professionalism and importance.

The recognition of the Grammys also means that the general trend of the entire market and professional opinions is inevitable. As expected, the troika teamed up to win 25 nominations, almost forming a sweep and becoming the most shining presence in the nomination list. The competition between the Audio-Technica has continued from the sales market to the word-of-mouth market, and now continues to the professional market, which also makes the competition of this year's Grammys full of countless highlights - market feedback aside, who will have the last laugh this time?

Judging from the list of nominees, Glory to Death once again continued its strength!

The acclaimed album "Tempest" was undoubtedly relegated to the rock division, but "Falling. Slowly)" and "Say. Something)" and the two singles were divided into the pop department, and "Waiting. On。 The。 World。 To。 Change)" is considered to be rhythm blues.

"Torrential Rain" won three nominations in the four comprehensive awards, Best Album of the Year, Best Single of the Year, and Best Production of the Year, all of which were omitted; In addition, it received five nominations in the rock category: Best Rock Band, Best Hard Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Album - including a double nomination for Best Rock Song. Volcanoes" and Sail rounded out the final five.

In the rock department, which is the essence of glory to death, they can be said to be majestic, winning nominations for almost every project that can be participated, evolving the praise of professional music critics into an authoritative Grammy certification, and further expanding their popularity.

In addition, "Say Something" was nominated for Best Pop Group -- and relied on "Free. As。 A。 Bird)" The Beatles, who won the nomination, competed for this award. It's a ridiculous situation, as two rock bands that have held important positions in music history have been nominated for pop – and of course, the crushed pumpkins have also been shortlisted for best pop chorus, so it's no big surprise.

"Waiting for the World to Change" was among the top five finalists for Best Rhythm and Blues Song, along with a Best Long-Form Music Video nomination for the concert version of "Sailing" and Hugo being named Non-Classical Producer of the Year. This brings the glorious Grammy nominations to twelve in one go!

Twelve! There are 12 nominations, including not only three of the four most important general awards, but also across the three departments of rock, pop, rhythm and blues, and most importantly, Hugo has been nominated for non-classical producer of the year for the first time in his history, which is undoubtedly the most important affirmation of glory to death by the Grammys.

As a singer and a producer, Hugo has injected unimaginable vitality into glory to death, his talent and wisdom have been recognized all over the world, and he has won the Grammy Award for Production of the Year for two consecutive years, which has proven Hugo's strength. This time, the Grammys are one step closer.

The Non-Classical Producer of the Year award is an award that is not presented at an awards ceremony, and the winners are announced each year before the Grammys - after all, there are more than a hundred Grammys, and it is impossible to announce them all at the gala. But as its name suggests, this award is given to all non-classical album producers, with no specific song or album, but a separate recognition for the outstanding behind-the-scenes music producers over the past year, for their contributions and talent behind the music industry. This is the most important recognition for any music producer.

This is the first time Hugo has been shortlisted for the award, competing with the best music producers in the country – something that would have been unimaginable for Hugo from a non-academic background. What's even more incredible is that among the winners announced at the Grammys' warm-up party, the best feature-length music video belonged to the Beatles, and he was glorified to death and unfortunately lost; The Non-Classical Producer of the Year went to Hugo - who had beaten Babyface who had won two consecutive titles!

Even before the awards ceremony began, Glory to Death had already made a big start, and now Hugo is among the top music producers in the country, not to mention the band's strong lead in the nominations with 12 nominations.

From the refusal to cooperate with "almost famous" to the entry into the house of "bathing in the morning light", the entanglement between Glory to Death and the Grammys has gone all the way, but the Grammys have been defeated, even the Grammys cannot stop the progress of the wheel of history, so there is a "storm" sweeping thousands of troops.

Ironically, "Rolling Stone" even refers to Glory to Death as a "Grammy darling" - you know, even a year ago, the two authoritative representatives of Grammy and "Rolling Stone" had always had an ambiguous attitude towards Glory to Death. Ambiguous.

In addition to the glory to death, the two competitors, Maria and Oasis, are no less competitive, making the list of nominees colorful and colorful!

Maria's "Butterfly" album was successfully shortlisted for two general awards for Best Album of the Year and Best Single of the Year, and won two important nominations for Best Female Pop Vocalist and Best Pop Album in the Pop category, as well as two main nominations for Best Female Female Rhythm and Blues Vocalist and Best Rhythm and Blues Song in the Rhythm and Blues Division, plus the Best Short Music Video Award, she received a total of seven nominations.

The seven nominations also set Maria's personal best at a Grammy, and she was on the heels of glory to death at the nomination stage, once again taking a major step forward in Maria's journey beyond Whitney-Houston.

However, in Maria's advantage, due to the difference in musical genres, she does not need to go head-to-head with the band Glory to Death, Oasis, and she needs to pay more attention to the powerful Donnie Breston on the Grammys than the format of the battle of the century. So, the Grammys' victory and defeat also add more suspense.

It is worth mentioning that although Whitney did not release a new album, he was nominated for Best Production of the Year, Best Rhythm and Blues Single, and also for Best Pop Chorus thanks to the soundtrack of the movie "Stay Until I Wake Up". Even without the release of a new album, Whitney is still a true darling of the Grammys, putting Maria under immense pressure.

Compared to Maria, the Oasis Band is fully engaged in a showdown with glory to death!

Although the poor professional reviews of the album "Stay Now" did not affect sales, the Grammys can still feel the tilt between art and commerce.

In the four major categories, Oasis was nominated for a single of the year for "You Know What I Mean", far behind their two rivals. However, in the rock category, there were four nominations for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Single, Best Rock Band, Best Hard Rock Performance, plus the Best Alternative Music Album award, and they also received six nominations.

This is the best result achieved by a singer in continental Europe at the Grammys since the U2, especially the Oasis band's achievement on behalf of British rock in the United States, which is even more remarkable - the U2 is an Irish band after all, which is undoubtedly a stimulant for the long-standing British music industry, and the whole British Isles began to cheer.

While the album's professional reputation for "Stay Here" can't compete with the two rivals, at least six nominations recognize Oasis' commercial success in the United States. As for the final direction of the awards, anything is possible until the results of the awards ceremony are announced.

The Oasis will face off in an all-out showdown with Glory to the Death in five other nominees except for Best Alternative Music Album. It's not a sales battle – a win-win situation is impossible without a loser, and there is only one winner.

Everyone knows that this edition of the Grammys is perhaps unique in history, not only because of the splendor and grandeur of 1996, but also because of the impressive average strength of the nominees. Twenty years later, when people look back on the music classics of the 90s, they all think that 1996 is the equivalent of 1994 in movies, and this year's collection of masterpieces makes it a very special year in history, and an important year that everyone cannot avoid when talking about the history of music.

"Forrest Gump" became the last king in 1994, so who will the music market in 1996 see to ascend to the throne? Will the troika work together to write history, or will Donnie Blesson, Whitney Houston, and the "Different Instincts" movie soundtrack, Cher Crowe step up to stir things up? The choice of history may be correct, it may be wrong, it may be controversial, but in the end, it will leave the imprint of the wheel of history and go down in history.

Before the awards ceremony began, it was already in a lot of hustle and bustle, and now it is boiling because of the arrival of glory to death in Los Angeles!
