Chapter 236: Winning the Prize

"The most popular rap and hip-hop newcomer singer nominated is...... APLUS! ”

Hearing the guests on stage read their names to the small envelope, Song Ya hurriedly smiled and waved at the camera lens, "And DJ Quik, and Naughty by Nature!" ”

Walter smiled and grabbed his shoulder, and he crossed the rows of seats and waved to Mariah Kelly, who was looking at him.

"No matter what, be polite." Walter whispered in his ear.

"I know, I know."

The expression of sadness, disappointment or anger after the nominated singer does not win the award is very damaging to the audience in front of the TV, and fans and passers-by will think that you are not graceful, or you are so stingy that you can't even afford to lose this little thing.

Except for a very small number of spoiled artists, there is only one possibility for celebrities to be photographed with this expression, they were deceived by the organizers, and they were deceived very badly. For example, MJ got six nominations for the Grammys in 88, and should have received hints that he would win some of these awards, so he happily appeared on the Grammy stage and sang and danced, gave a well-prepared classic performance, and even helped the broadcaster break the ratings record.

The result? was nominated again and again, and then all the winners were others, as if he was called over to teach him a lesson, and the tortured MJ's face collapsed on the spot, and he returned to the backstage and cried directly. Since then, he has broken with the Grammys and has not appeared at the Grammys gala again.

"Winner: Naughty by Nature! Congratulations to them. ”

Not surprisingly, Song Ya turned his head to find the figure of the Naughty by Nature group, smiled and applauded them, and the three young black men from New Jersey came to the stage very excitedly, they didn't notice Song Ya's side, it didn't matter, anyway, they just put on a pose.

RAP and hip-hop are not in a high position right now, and the Newcomer Award is in a position to be a cushion, followed by a series of performances and other awards.

This year's lineup is impressive, with MC Hammer, Gunflower, Whitney Houston and even Soul and funk-music originator James Brown taking to the stage.

The second and final Songa-related award began after fellow Sony Columbia Records signing singer Celine Dion and veteran black male singer Peabo Bryson sang the theme song of the blockbuster movie Beauty and the Beast.

"The most popular soul and rhythm blues band, chorus and group, nominated is: Boyz II Men! Bell Biv DeVoe! Mariah Carey and APLUS! ”

Song Ya squeezed a playful grimace at the camera.

"Winner: Mary Carey! APLUS! ”

Now you don't have to pretend, Song Ya slapped her face vigorously excitedly, stood up and opened her arms, "Congratulations, APLUS." Walter hugged him hard, "You deserve it." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Walt."

He gave the camera a thumbs up and strode over to Mariah Carey.

The two hugged under the gaze of countless people in the theater, touched their left and right cheeks, and then Song Ya gentlemanly pinched each other's waists, walked up to the podium together, and received the pointed triangle transparent trophy from the hands of the award presenters.

"Here you go." Song Ya motioned for Maria Kelly to speak first.

The two were actually ready, "Thank you, thank you to the National Musicians Organizers, and thank you to my company, my family, and my fans, and the Empire State of Mind that APLUS did, and we'll be performing it later, and everyone on the set and in front of the TV, I love you, I love all of you." ”

Maria Carey said a bunch of words, and finally ended with "that's it", giving up the microphone to Song Ya.

"I have this."

Song Ya, who was dressed in a dress, took out a small note from her pocket, and the audience laughed cooperatively, "It's an honor to get this award......"

The AMA awards show was very tight, and it was not suitable for any sensational speeches, and he also followed the speed of Mariah Carey's voice and said, "I want to thank Mariah Carey first......" He raised his hand to Mariah Carey, "Without her, I wouldn't have finished the lyrics of Empire State of Mind, and I wouldn't have been able to perform at such a high level, and I would also like to thank Tommy Motura of Sony Columbia Music, Walt, hi...... And old Joe, I know you must be watching me in front of the TV, thank you. And Al, DeLay, and the fans who have been with me along the way, I love you. Thank you! ”

After the awards, the two walked off the stage, "I'll wait for you backstage." "There is still a performance later, the sequined hip skirt on Mariah Carey's dazzling body is a performance costume that does not need to be changed, and she may get an award later, Song Ya has to go backstage to change the dress first.

"Well, go ahead."

The two of them grasped the scale well, and did not expose any overly intimate manners due to the influence of passion.

Back in the background to his dressing room, "Quick, quick." Taragi quickly helped him take off his gown and replace it with a comfortable baseball jacket, jeans and a bull hat.

"APLUS, WAIT A MINUTE......," THE PIANIST SITTING AT THE UPRIGHT PIANO IN THE CORNER PLAYED A NOTE, "AND HERE WE GO." ”

"I know, don't worry, we've cooperated so many times." Song Ya seriously played the package ticket.

Taraghi took out the A+ tag and the large thick gold chain from the jewelry box and hung it for Song Ya, as well as the huge gold watch, and after fiddling with the right position, he took a few steps back, "Well, perfect, you will conquer APLUS in Los Angeles tonight." ”

"Hopefully."

Song Ya pointed to the cup, and she hurriedly handed it over.

She took a slight sip to moisten her throat, and temporarily hung a few more words, and finally waited for Mariah Carey, and the trophies in her hands had become two, "Look." She held one in one hand and shook it proudly at Song Ya at the door, and it seemed that the most popular soul and rhythm and blues female singer was also in her bag.

"Congratulations, Mimi."

"I'm over, I'll see you later." She walked into the dressing room next door.

Soon the staff came to urge, and the two walked to the edge of the stage with the pianist, where Luther Vandross, the most popular soul and rhythmic blues male singer on stage, was giving his acceptance speech, and when he stepped down, the stage lights went out, and the staff began to quickly and professionally lift the Yamaha piano up, and the musicians began to take their places.

"Let's go up too."

The three of them also walked onto the stage and stood in the positions they had memorized from the previous rehearsal.

"Empire State of Mind, from Mariah Carey, APLUS!"

When the host finished the curtain, Song Ya signaled to the drummer, and the drum kit with a strong rhythm opened, and then a beam of light hit the piano, the pianist, and himself standing next to him.

"Oh yes! How are you guys from LA!? ”

Song Ya raised her throat and received an enthusiastic response from the stars in the audience, who all stood up and writhed their bodies to the music.

"Play it! I grew up in Chicago and now I walk around New York......"

It's a bit inappropriate to sing outside of New York, but it doesn't matter, just win the award anyway, "Tell by my attitude that......" Song Ya posed at the camera with a hip-hop gesture, "I am most definitely from...... and then pointed to where Mariah Carey stood.

At this time, the light hit her body, and the sequins on the hip skirt were illuminated by Blingbling, "In New York......"

Her voice sang this gorgeous, and the audience gave her screams and cheers twice as high as Song Ya......

I don't know if it's the reason for the better tacit understanding after that, the cooperation between the two is even better than in the studio, Song Ya didn't get the hint of 'I don't want to dance', so she approached her.

One hand in the air for the big city

Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty

No place in the world that can compare

Put your lighters in the air, everybody say……

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah……

The two faced each other, and she twisted like a leprechaun.

After she had another nomination, the performance was over, and the two went backstage for a short rest, and then quietly returned to the audience.

It's a pity that the most popular female pop and rock singer with the heaviest weight was awarded to Paula Abbadou, the DIVA who was caught in a proxy singing scandal and gained weight and was already a bit aunt-like...... The female singer, who is now unknown enough to be called DIVA, took the stage to accept the award and announced her upcoming global tour plans.

"Only now do you think of relying on live performance to fight back against scandals? Why did you go earlier? ”

Walter whispered disdain.
