Chapter 1445: Wise Choice
On February 27, Los Angeles International Airport witnessed a feast that made Hugo's unrivaled power so clear to everyone that the Chicago Tribune even joked that "the 38th Grammys were held at Los Angeles International Airport one day earlier."
Indeed, even the red carpet of the Grammys is estimated to be on such a large scale, and it is difficult for a star-studded event to attract more than a thousand spectators to support the scene, but Hugo did it by relying on the strength of one person, and such a momentum is really staggering.
In fact, there are many reasons why reporters flock to the airport, the most important of which is to record the moment when Hugo returned to Los Angeles, not only because of the honor of the Berlin Film Festival, but also because people quietly found that Hugo's dress to the airport has attracted the attention of many people, unlike the red carpet or the premiere dress is too formal, and it is also different from the daily private dress that is too difficult to capture, Hugo's dress every time he appears at the airport is casual and tasteful, casual and fashionable, Each appearance can cause a lot of discussion, and some people even specifically ask about Hugo's clothes at the airport.
In fact, this is the "airport fashion" that will be popular all over the world in the future, and the dress of celebrities entering and leaving the airport will become a topic, and the airport has become a stretch for artists to show their personal style and fashion. However, this trend has not yet emerged, and is only limited to Hugo.
This has become one of the focuses of journalists.
In addition, reporters also want to interview Hugo about the Berlin Film Festival, the Golden Globe Awards, and the Oscars, but the main thing is the upcoming Grammy Awards ceremony on the 28th. It is generally believed that when the Berlin Film Festival closed on the 26th, Hugo took a private jet back to Los Angeles on the same day in order to participate in the Grammys.
Although Glory to Death did not release a new album this year, the three singles "Shape of the Heart. of。 my。 heart), "Wonderwall", "Apologize" have achieved unprecedented brilliant results, and as the year-end album and single sales charts show, the power of rock has fully recovered this year, represented by glory to death, and bands such as Alanis Molissett, Mannheim Steamroller, and Bush have all radiated new vitality, which also makes rock a force to be reckoned with at the 38th Grammy.
Not long ago, the Grammys announced the list of nominees, and in the competition for the four major general awards, rock has become the most important force.
The five spots for the best album of the year go to "Little Broken Pill" by Alanis, "Vitalogy" by Pearl Sauce, "History" by Michael Jackson, and Joan Osbourne (Joan). Osborne) and Mariah Carey's "Daydream".
Among them, rock occupies two seats, especially the pearl sauce album "vitalogy", which is known as their most outstanding album, and is even comparable to Nirvana's "Don't mind" and the glorious to death "Bathing in the Morning Light", plus Alanis, who was born as a newcomer, compared to last year, the Grammys are obviously one step closer to the new metal rock and the identification with rock.
Of course, there is no doubt that Michael and Maria are two top superstars, and Joan won the last spot on behalf of jazz, which is a rare thing.
Among the competitions for the best single of the year are Hill's "Kiss of the Rose", Maria and the boy-boy duo's "Sweet Day", the glorious "The Wall", and Joan's "One of Us." of。 US)" and Michael's "You're Not Alone" made it to the final five.
The competition for this award is undoubtedly the fiercest, and the competition between Glory to Death and Maria and the boy boy group continues to the Grammys without any suspense, and the other three top three are all hugely popular singles, among which the two songs "Kiss of the Rose" have won the audience's love as the theme song of the movie "Batman Forever", and also won the praise of music critics. It can be said that this award is expected to be the most difficult department to choose.
The nominees for the best system of the year belong to Schill's "Kiss of the Rose", R. Kelly's "You're Not Alone" for Michael's "You're Not Alone" and Alanis's "You Should Know (You. oughta。 know)", Eric Bazlian (Eric. Bazilian) is "one of us" for Qiong'an, and Hugo is "the wall of the maze" for the glory to death.
This award is the most important tribute to the producers and songwriters who are behind the scenes, and singers like Hugo, Alanis and Schill who write and sing their own songs are always particularly favored. Last year, Hugo won the title of "Beautiful. day)" won the award, and this year's finalist again also allows people to witness Hugo's talent again.
The Newcomer of the Year category, Alanis, Joan, Shania Towne, Owl and Puffer Fish (hootie&the). Blowfish and Brandy each won their seats, with Alanis, Owl and Puffer Fish all new metal rock bands, Joan Jazz, Brandy New Lady Rhythm and Blues Singer and Shania Country, all of which offer a glimpse of how much the American music scene has changed over the past year.
However, this list of nominees is very interesting, Shania and Joan are both solo second albums, Alanis is solo third, Owl and Puffer Fish are fourth albums, and only Brandy's solo debut album was released in 1994 - not 1995.
But they are all branded as "newcomers", which is not uncommon on the Grammys, which makes people laugh and cry.
From the perspective of the four departments of the comprehensive category, Michael, Schill, and Alanis each won three seats, becoming the biggest winners, and the three most watched artists on the Grammys this year.
In the competition for the category awards in various departments, Glory to Death also won nominations for Best Rock Song and Best Hard Rock Performance, and won four Grammy nominations again with the situation created by three singles without releasing a new album, which can also be seen from here that Honor to Death has now been recognized by the Grammys.
It is worth mentioning that after the death of Kurt Cobain, the Nirvana band, which has existed in name only, was shortlisted for the Best Alternative Music Album Award this year with "MTV New York Unplugged" - Pearl Sauce and Alice Prisoner, who are also grunge rockers, participated in the competition for the rock department, which is really worth savoring.
What's even more interesting is that Dave Grohl and Path Smer, who left Nirvana, found a new teammate and formed the Spitfire Band (FOO). fighters), their self-titled debut album was also shortlisted for Best Alternative Music, competing with Nirvana.
Whoever the winner is will be a special moment, a tribute to history or a look to the future?
At last year's Grammys, Glory to Death performed Nirvana's "Teenage Heart" for the first time, which can be described as shocking, and the other two songs "One Step Closer" (OEP. close)" and "The Wall" also won rave reviews, and although the former did not release a single, it can still be seen on the radio on-demand charts; Not to mention the latter, whose fifteen-week winning streak has gone down in history.
Although the audience doesn't know much about it, insiders have more or less heard the clues, and they know that glory to death is risking the world's condemnation, and blatantly slapped the Grammy. Previously, everyone was speculating whether the Grammys wanted to ban Glory to Death, after all, Glory to Death did not release an album this year, and even if the Grammys did not nominate them - or just symbolically gave them nominations, it would not actually cause much criticism. This is very different from the situation of the Golden Globes.
But when the list of nominees came out, it attracted a lot of surprise, not only did the Grammys not block the glory to death, but the four nominations were not light, which also made people have to sigh at the intelligence and wisdom of the Grammys!
The Grammys know that this is not just a matter of glory to death, but a problem of the development trend of the entire music market, rock forces have risen strongly, and instead of fighting against glory to death for the sake of breath, they should take advantage of the trend and reward the rock pioneers such as Glory to Death, Alanise, and Pearl Sauce, but can make the last Grammy's shocking stage famous in history, adding a merit to the authority and wisdom of the Grammys.
Now, whether or not the Grammys award the Gramophone trophy to Glory to Death, they have clenched fame, popularity, and prestige into their fists.
It is precisely because of this background that people are very interested in whether to attend the Grammys in Glory to Death, and as the core of the core of the band, Hugo's attendance has become the focus of attention, and it coincides with the turmoil of the Golden Globe Awards and the Berlin Film Festival, and the Grammys are of course inevitably involved.
The media speculated that Hugo rushed back from Berlin in time to participate in the Grammys, not without purpose. The Grammys have sent a friendly signal and forgiven last year's glorious public rampage and provocation, and now it's Hugo's turn to reciprocate.
Of course, if Hugo attends the Grammys, also held in Los Angeles, then the Golden Globes will be completely disgraced, but the question is, the Golden Globes have been disgraced, will Hugo still have any scruples? This is one of the reasons why the media is extremely curious.
However, judging from Hugo's concise words at the airport just now, it seems that everyone's guesses are wrong, and Hugo rushed back purely for the filming of "Independence Day", which has nothing to do with the Grammys. Only, is this really the case?
On February 28, the 38th Grammy Grand Opening, but Hugo was not seen on the noisy red carpet, which made reporters start to mumble, did Hugo really not appear? Just when everyone was talking, a familiar figure appeared on the red carpet, which made the reporters start to stir!
