1758.Chapter 1758 1758 The finale

Hugo's mind was so full of thoughts that it became a blank slate, and it was difficult for him to clear his thoughts. As Pedro said, there are so many stories behind the creation of the song "Sail", not only the ups and downs that the band went through before the creation of the song, but also the series of effects brought about by the release of "Independence Day" after the creation of the song - the good and the bad, and it has been so hard for more than a year.

"I just want to say that I have never regretted going all the way with my friends who have been glorified to death, and it is my honor to stand side by side with them on the same stage. So, thank you for your company. Before Hugo's words fell, and the applause did not have time to sound, Hugo added, "But this trophy belongs to me, and I have no intention of sharing it." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, just now they were still immersed in the emotion brought by Hugo, and then they burst into laughter. The expressions of the friends who were glorious to death were even more indescribable, and they couldn't help laughing.

Hugo stood in front of the microphone, he was a little hesitant, because he had a name in his mind, but he was not sure whether he should say it at this moment, but after thinking about it, Hugo still said, "I must also thank Cameron for accompanying me all this way, thank you for being able to accompany me all the way here." After speaking, Hugo pursed his lips slightly and said again, "Thank you." Then he turned and walked over to his bandmates.

Hugo hopes that Cameron can understand that the dream of music has the weight in his heart, and that following and sprinting along the way has become an inseparable part of his life. In the same way, Cameron has accompanied him all the way here, and he hopes that Cameron can understand him, or at least try to understand him. He will work hard to learn to open his heart and try to learn to let Cameron know more about himself......

Today, Hugo took a big step, but he wasn't sure if Cameron would be able to receive it.

This is the first time Hugo has thanked Cameron in public, and it is also the first time that Hugo has taken the initiative to talk about his private life in public. Such a move was obviously a romantic confession for countless people, which suddenly made all the audience in the audience start to whistle and coax noisily, causing Hugo's cheeks to burn slightly. But as soon as he turned around, Hugo saw the tune of the other members of the Glory to Death. The look of the play, even Michael was ridiculed with a look of "good performance", which made Hugo embarrassed and could only run away.

Tonight's awards ceremony is coming to an end, and Glory to Death, who leads the nomination stage with 12 nominations, is undoubtedly the biggest winner, not only sweeping the four major awards in the rock department, but also taking two gramophones in the three general categories that have been announced so far, pushing their momentum over the past year to the top of the commanding heights.

Now, the Grammys are left with one last award, and the last suspense tonight, the Album of the Year award.

In fact, the Album of the Year award is not the biggest award tonight - the Best Single of the Year award, but this award is undoubtedly the final award for the entire Grammy, which is a summary of the music of the past year, and also an evaluation of the overall level and overall quality of the entire album. This is equivalent to the Oscar for Best Picture, which is a reward for the overall work and the entire production team.

The test is not only the market, but also the historical heritage - the accumulation and thickness of the entire production group, production heritage, and musical heritage. Over the past decade, rock has won the award three times – one for last year's "Little Broken Pill" by Alanis Morissett, the other two created by Bonnie Ritter and U2 before the '90s, with Jazz winning twice and pop having the last laugh five times.

This is the pattern of the American music market after the accumulation of time, and it will often indicate the future market trend. Therefore, every year's Album of the Year award will be placed at the end and become the final finale of the audience.

The five nominees for this year's Album of the Year award are Celine Dion's "Falling in Love", Refugees' "Target", Baker's "Odelay", Mariah Carey's "Butterfly" and Glory to Death "Tempest."

The five albums each represent the pinnacle of each musical genre over the past year, with Celine and Maria being the representatives of pop, Refugees being the representatives of hip-hop, and Baker and Honor to Death being the representatives of rock and roll.

Among these five albums, "Falling in Love" is the best pop album, "Target" is the best hip-hop album, "Audrey" is the best alternative album, and "Storm" is the best rock album. "Butterfly" took the place of "Words", the position of the best rhythmic and blues album, and it can be said that it is undisputed - because Maria won the best female pop singer and the best female rhythms and blues singer in a row, and the Grammys can be seen.

That's how the music market has evolved over the past five years, with pop still dominant, hip-hop and the rise of rap and blues – but last year's beats and blues were a bit of a decline, rock came from behind to dominate, and the countryside has been challenged every year but has remained solid.

In 1996, a special year, the confrontation between rock and pop became the main theme throughout the year, and the status of hip-hop became more and more important - both rock and pop tried to merge hip-hop styles, so five nominees for Album of the Year were born, which truly reflected the development of the entire music market.

It is worth mentioning that the album "Audrey" won Baker two awards: Best Male Rock Singer and Best Alternative Album, and this album was voted the best work of 1996 by "Rolling Stone" magazine - surpassing the glory to death "Tempest", although there is a selfish "Rolling Stone" in it, "Audrey" did receive a one-sided cheer from the entire music critics - not only praise. With a portable tape recorder, keyboard, drum machine and guitar, Baker created a special landscape of the 90s, drawing on the strengths of hip-hop, folk, experimental rock, psychedelia, pop and traditional rock, combined with twisted and caustic lyrics, into a postmodern rock that was both colorful and scruffy and dirty.

Strictly speaking, Baker was also inspired by the neo-metal rock, but he was more grunge than Glory to Death, with a bolder and more psychedelic style and a more experimental album.

If it weren't for the "storm", "Audrey" would obviously be a work that qualifies as the big winner tonight, and Baker has relied on this album to become a part of the rock wave that cannot be ignored. So, there is no dispute that Baker took the place of the Oasis band and took his place in the record of the year.

The attitude of the Grammys can also be seen here: Glory to Death and Baker teamed up to defeat the Oasis, and in the future development trend of new metal rock, the simple and crude represented by the Oasis Band has lost market recognition. History, is slowly shifting at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Although the Album of the Year award is not the biggest suspense award tonight, no one can judge in advance whether pop will regain the throne or rock will continue to be strong; If it's popular, is it Maria who hits the top again, or Celine who opens the scoring? If it's rock, is it the King's Landing of the glorious to death, or is it Baker's strong counterattack? Beyond that, what are the chances of a refugee?

This is not the battle of the century of the troika, not even a showdown between Glory to Death and Maria, but a showdown of the future direction of the entire music market, and it is gripping enough to suffocate. What's more, this award has the potential to make history from a different perspective!

Before you know it, the number of awards won by Glory to Death at this year's Grammys has reached seven, and the non-classical producer of the year trophy received before the awards ceremony, as well as tonight's six trophies, which means that if "Storm" can continue tonight's strong performance and win the best album of the year award, then they will get eight gramophones! Equalling the record set by Michael Jackson thirteen years ago - eight Grammys in a single edition!

In fact, if Glory to Death wins the last award, their gold content will surpass Michael's, because Michael's eight individual trophies at the 26th Grammy include six important awards, including Album of the Year, Production of the Year, Best Male Pop Singer, Best Male Rock Singer, Best Male Rhythm and Blues Singer, Best Rhythm and Blues Song, and Quincy Jones (Quincy). Jones) teamed up to win the Non-Classical Producer of the Year, as well as Quincy for the film "E." The audiobook produced by "T Aliens" won the award for Best Children's Sound Recording.

In other words, if you deduct the Best Children's Recording Award that has nothing to do with the album, in fact, the number of Michael awards in a single session is seven. There was also an award for Best Non-Classical Mixing Recording that went to Bruce Sweeten, the producer of "Thriller." Swedien), not Michael himself.

Of course, Michael's record of eight Gramophone trophies in a single session is still an ironclad fact, and it is also a record that will be difficult for future generations to surpass.

Now, with the prospect of winning eight trophies in the main awards category, it is undoubtedly a historic breakthrough. It's not just as simple as equaling Michael's record, but more importantly, "Storm" will receive such an honor as a rock album, which is also a big breakthrough for the Grammys.

While Album of the Year isn't the most suspenseful award, it's undoubtedly one of the most competitive, and the announcement of this award will be the biggest footnote to the Grammys' place in history tonight. The air began to thin out, and the heartbeat raced and accelerated again and again in the face of the possibility of suffocation, and the whole scene became tense.

Under the watchful eye, the guest of honor for the last award tonight appeared on the stage, not one person, but two people! When they saw those two figures, all the audience stood up collectively in an instant, and the tsunami-like applause swept in, becoming the most shining moment of this wonderful night!
