Song Ya knows Mariah Kelly very well, and when she talks about singing, her attention will be drawn to the past, such as the present.

"Your songs are not difficult to sing, show?off?that?body?you?got,you?got?that?dance,?glow?so?hot~" she hummed quietly.

"Of course, I don't ...... singing skills."

Song Ya's singing skills have improved a lot now, but she doesn't have to expect to compare with the other party in this life.

"Aplus, Miss Kelly, it's your turn."

The publicist from Sony Columbia Records walked in to remind.

The two put on their coats and walked to the center of the stage under the escort of the security personnel outside, the pianist and the musicians were already waiting, but the piano brand was changed from Steinway to Yamaha, the big brand logo was printed on the side of the piano, his advertising was very fierce, and the sponsorship of major performances was basically rounded.

The Billboard Awards are calculated based on sales volume or a preset weight index, and Nielsen helps collect and analyze the data, so there is no room for manipulation, and the award is anyone's own, which is much fairer than the Grammys, which are rumored to be controversial every year.

Of course, this award can only reflect who sells the most records each year, or who is the most popular, and the Grammys have to take into account artistic and innovative aspects. There is also an AMA (American Music Awards), in the award mechanism, the weight of consumer voting is very large, so it will be time to have more fans than who has more fans (more action, more willing to spend money for idols), so it is more controversial.

These three awards are the three major music awards recognized by the public, but Billboard Magazine has limited financial resources, and it is not even as strong as the MTV Music TV Awards held by MTV. Unlike Twentieth Century Fox Films, which is at the top of Hollywood, Fox Broadcasting is still far behind ABBC and CBS, and Fox News is also far behind the above three and CUU.

Mariah Carey will be the big winner this year, and the Best Female Vocal Vocal Award and Best Album Award are both hers, and winning this award is also a good response to the doubts that she won the Grammy Best Female Pop Singer.

"yes!"

Song Ya, who has no grain, is still in the stage of accumulating points, and as the drum beat of the prelude sounds, he raised his voice and shouted to the empty audience, the performance version is different from the official release version poured into the record, and it needs to add some interactive parts with the audience.

"Che (cheer)!"

He raised his hands upwards and made a gesture to show that everyone was getting high, "newyorkmakesomenoise!" ”

The piano sounded, "I grew up in Chicago, and now I walk in New York......" he began to chant.

The lyrics that have been carved for a long time are much higher than the literary level of the original version, but Song Ya has to admit that the self-boasting and realistic experience of the original singer can better fit the theme and mobilize the audience's emotions, and the voice of the original singer is more mature than Song Ya, and there is a kind of confidence and domineering of low-level blacks who work all the way to the top.

All in all, the lyrics of the Songya version are cleaner and younger than the original, but they are much less infectious and impactful, and they are also flatter and less angular.

“tellbymyattitudethatiammostdefinitelyfrom……”

He sings this, pointing to Mariah Carey, "innewyork~"

When the other party's treble sounds, it is pure enjoyment, after Song Ya's insistence, her singing treatment is not much different from the original singing, each has its own merits in timbre, and her skills are better.

“onehandintheairfcity……”

She sang this, Song Ya got closer, stepping on the beat with the dance steps she had just learned, the two looked at each other, she also smiled and twisted her body while singing, very tacit, "putyhtersintheair, everybodysayyeah, yes, yes, yes~"

“eon！” Song Ya beckoned to the audience again.

“newyork，newyork，newyork……”

At the end of the last note, the two put down their hands holding the microphone, and ......the pianist applauded first, followed by Hayden, assistants, record companies, and the organizers' staff.

Song Ya did a full set of operas and greeted everyone for a curtain call, "It's just a rehearsal, we seem to have overworked." He smiled back at Mariah Carey.

"It's coming." She was also very happy, and the melancholy between her eyebrows that was deeply troubled by public opinion was gone.

“newyork~”

Back in the backstage dressing room, she was still humming the lyrics, "You know what? I sometimes feel like you wrote this song for me, especially the solo version. I grew up in New York, and I had seen the drunkenness of the city, and I thought I could do anything......"

"It's written for you." Song Ya replied.

"Don't please me." She smiled, "You know how to say good things to me, just like Roberto, and I know that you don't do it all because of me, but for Tommy's sake." ”

"So you noticed it." Song Ya complained secretly.

"It's not to flatter, it's really written for you."

Song Ya said, "Do you remember? The day you got the Grammys, we were at the celebration dinner, and then you drank a little too much, and we were talking in the corner, and you confided in me about the difficulties of your previous life, and you said that when you got the Grammys, you felt like the queen of New York. It was then that the song began to brew in my mind, and the song and the lyrics of the song were all determined at that time. ”

"Really?" Her face changed, staring into Song Ya's eyes, her expression became more and more moved, tears faintly rolling in her eyes, "It's really written for me?" ”

"Of course, why am I lying to you?" Song Ya glanced at the female assistant who was talking to the staff outside with her back to the door, and then boldly met her gaze.

"Thank you." She took the initiative to hug her, "Sometimes I feel like you know me better than Tommy. ”

"Uh......"

Song Ya felt the wonderful touch on his chest, his eyes moved to her red lips, and his hand was raised involuntarily, wanting to hug, no, he immediately thought of Motula, hug? Motula, cuddle? Motura ......

was at war between heaven and man, and she suddenly disengaged and stepped back, "Isn't that right? No......" she frowned and recalled, "You said this song was written for me, why did you give it to Donnie Breston to sing later?" ”

"Uh...... This ...... "This question is really difficult to answer and answer, and Song Ya's mind is a little short-circuited."

"Huh? You just lied to me, didn't you!? ”

"No, I'm telling the truth."

"Honestly, why did you give the song to Donnie?"

"Well, Walt, didn't they say you're not fit to rap......"

"What about the solo version?"

"Uh...... This ......"

"You're lying to me!"

"No, I swear I didn't."

"No, why give the song to Donnie?"

Okay, it's back again, it's really terrible for a woman to be unreasonable, Song Ya is clumsy, and in the end she can only slap her on the arm a few times to finish the matter.

The next day, the two gave a perfect performance at the awards party, the fly in the ointment was that the organizer insisted on Song Ya adding a thin jacket to the vest.

After a few days in New York, Song Ya attended the BMI Awards as a member of BMI, where she won the first and second major awards in the songwriter and record production company: Best New Composer and Best Hip-Hop Composition.

There was no live performance for this professional seriousness award, and Song Ya took the stage twice and received two bronzing certificates wrapped in rectangular transparent plastic trophies from the guests.

"Congratulations, aplus."

Motura also came, and Sony Colombia also had a great experience, and after the meeting he invited Songya and Walt and other winners from the company to dinner, he raised his glass and congratulated him one by one, "cheers! ”

“cheers！”

At harvest time, everyone is in a very good mood and frequently toasts, but this is not the time to talk, except for congratulating RememberTheName for being the number one on the Billboard Singles Chart, Motura and him have little other communication.

However, Song Ya can't ask for credit for the last sentence, as long as he has a tacit understanding with Motura.

During this time, the attacks of black DJs on Mariah Carey have stopped, the black DJs of the middle and lower classes do not mention, and the well-known white DJs of the upper class do not dare to offend Motura too much, and the radio station, one of the main forces of gossip, has finally shown signs of subsidence, and the media have begun to chase the next hot spot.

"Watch the news."

Back in the hotel room, Hayden was already waiting.

"You know what? I'm most afraid that someone will tell me this sentence, which usually means that something bad is happening. Song Ya complained.

On the TV screen is an unknown station logo, it should be a small local TV station in New York, "According to British media, the diva Mariah Carey has refused her sister's request for help several times, causing her to be in trouble in order to cope with financial difficulties. There has been a heated debate in society about Mariah Carey's miserliness and ruthlessness, and there are currently opinions from all sides, such as ......"

"What does that mean? Endlessly? There are so many major events happening in the world, but the celebrities are so trivial, what is going on with the British media? ”

Song Ya can't imagine a thing that can't be confirmed at all (Mariah Carey has officially clarified the money several times, but her sister doesn't admit it), and she can be stirred up by the pusher behind it, and she is so angry that she directly turns off the TV, "This is still the new diva of Sony Columbia, and I will definitely be speechless if I encounter a smear of this intensity in the future." ”

"Exporting first and then selling domestically is also a common smear trick."

Hayden laughed, "First the foreign media broke the news, and then the domestic media 'invoked', which is not only a good way to avoid responsibility, but also gives the public the illusion that it is already a fact." After all, the general perception of the public is that since even foreigners already know about things, eighty percent of them can't be faked. And TV stations have much more credibility than tabloids and radio stations......"

"Alas, this world is too dangerous, it's full of traps." Song Ya couldn't help but sigh. I want to talk about "Chicago 1990" with more like-minded people, "Chat with more book friends about your favorite books."
