Chapter 445 Accident
"The winner of this year's Best Soul Song is "Rolling in the Deep" by Luo Quan!"
As the host shouted Luo Quan's name for the fourth time, the guests in the audience began to feel fatigue.
It's really outrageous. Everyone knows that Luo Quan is talented. "Love" shocked people inside and outside the industry. It can be called one of the best albums in the new century.
But before the awards were given, no one expected that she would be involved in so many music types. Even before the mainstream music awards were awarded, Luo Quan had already won three awards in folk, soul, and classical.
Although these three-month music genres have become less popular since the 21st century and are far less popular than pop, rap and electronic music, in the early part of the last century, when European and American modern music was just budding, these genres plus jazz were the hottest their music.
It can only be said that times have changed, and the aesthetics of fans have also undergone some changes. Just like rock, rock was the world in the second half of the last century, but after the new century, the influence of rock has experienced a huge decline.
This is because of the changes in modern people's lives, fast-paced life, fast-paced entertainment, and finally gave birth to fast-paced music.
It's a trend that's gone from classical music to jazz to rock to pop and now rap.
It’s difficult to evaluate the music’s thought and depth, but the rhythm must be getting faster and faster.
In this impatient and utilitarian era, young people choose pop music and rap in order to quickly stand out, while those slow-paced music are supported by a bunch of old faces, and there has been no fresh blood for a long time.
It's a shame that Luo Quan is willing to release so many "retro old songs" and the quality is ridiculously high.
Not to mention the previous world-famous songs, works such as "Rolling in the deep" can also be included in the list of the greatest songs of the new century.
As soon as the awards were announced, the song played as background music, and Luo Quan stepped onto the stage to the beat.
Compared with the previous times when she was slightly excited, she was much calmer now.
As the saying goes, once is raw, twice is familiar.
"Congratulations, Luo Quan, do you have anything to say to everyone?" The host handed the trophy to Luo Quan and asked the same question.
Luo Quan's face was full of smiles, but there was some helplessness in the smile: "I originally prepared ten different acceptance speeches for this award ceremony, but it seems that these acceptance speeches will be finished soon."
Such Versailles' speech actually aroused applause from all the stars in the audience.
After all, it is a cultural difference. If the same words were said in China, it is estimated that the label of relying on one's talents and letting Kuang Kuang is put on the Internet.
But here, such a speech is a reflection of personality and strength.
If you have the ability, you can go to the stage and say such things. If you don't have the ability, you can only sit down below.
But on stage, as long as you don't step on those red lines, no one will care about what you say.
Joking aside, Luo Quan started a serious acceptance speech: "No matter what, I am very grateful to the judges for recognizing my work, but I actually still have some small regrets in my heart, because my current award-winning works are all English songs. I don’t know if my Chinese songs will win awards this time.
If not, it doesn’t matter. I will work harder in the future and strive to win the award next time when I go on stage to receive the award. The winning entry will be a Chinese song.
In my mind, music has never had national boundaries. Appreciating culture may require understanding the cultural background of a country or region, but music does not. Excellent music will eventually be recognized one day! "
This time, Luo Quan received real applause from the audience.
For a singer with a sincere heart and lofty musical pursuits, all the musicians here will not be stingy with their hands.
Whether today's singers are criticized for being too commercial or relying too much on computer software technology, there is no denying that they are the best people in the field of pop music on the planet.
No matter what kind of music field it is, it is broad and willing to absorb the best from home and abroad.
Therefore, Luo Quan's speech definitely deserves a round of applause.
After the speeches, the award ceremony continued.
The next music genre to be awarded is country music. In the United States, country music is a genre that is not as good as the top but more than the bottom.
It is indeed popular, but the audience base is not as popular as it is.
Its glory was in the last century, which was about the same period as rock and roll. It also produced quite a few great masters, but compared with the rock stars, it was slightly inferior.
After the new century, country music, like rock and roll, gradually declined.
However, in recent years, country music has produced a musician who can be called a genius. She is a very beautiful young female singer, about the same age as Luo Quan, and even taller than her, at 1.8 meters!
The female country singer named Caitlin Christian released several country music songs that attracted the attention of the music industry when she debuted. She also won many Grammys the year before last.
Before Luo Quan came out, Caitlin had always been considered the best female singer of the new generation.
For this selection of the best country music, Luo Quan and she both have works on the short list.
But it was Lyon who won the prize in the end.
Some musicians who didn't pay much attention to Lyon's new songs were confused. Isn't this guy a pop rap artist? Why did you win Best Country Music?
"The winning entry is Lyon's "Five Hundred Miles," and this song was written by Luo Quan." Soon, an insider explained some reasons to the confused people around him.
At the same time, "Five Hundred Miles" sung by Lyon also rang.
The lazy voice and pleasant melody simply and clearly told everyone why this song won the award.
After listening to the song, the musician couldn't help but sigh, "It's really Luo Quan. Whether he sings it himself or writes it for others, it sounds so good."
If I had a sister like this, I could win a prize too!
While many people sighed, they also felt jealous of Leon.
Sometimes, you just can’t accept destiny.
Leon obviously accepted his fate and was as happy as a silly son of a landlord.
Originally, I came here to witness my sister making history, but I didn't expect that I would get a general by mistake.
But if you don’t get a Grammy, you won’t get it for free.
But he is also very good at it. After winning the trophy, he started to brag about his sister: "Actually, I was only responsible for the singing part of this song. The lyrics, music, accompaniment and even the post-production were all produced by my sister. In my opinion, She deserves this award more than I do."
The camera showed Luo Quan in the audience. The latter was placing his trophy on the spot vacated by his brother next to him. Apparently he couldn't hold it anymore. He didn't want to crowd out himself, so he had to let his brother sacrifice.
This selfish move immediately caused all the guests to burst into laughter. Luo Quan blushed immediately after discovering that he was actually on the big screen.
Originally, he was persecuting his younger brother on a daily basis, but unexpectedly, he was suddenly exposed to the public, and the harmonious image of the siblings seemed to be in trouble.
However, Luo Quan's limbs stiffened for a moment and soon returned to normal. He kept a smile on his face and did not take away the trophy from Lyon's seat.
As a younger brother, what’s wrong with helping your sister get something?
After Leon came back, he also "dare to be angry but dare not speak out." Seifert was holding back his laughter and shaking all over.
"You're laughing. There are too many trophies later. Do you think you can run away?" Leon glared at his good friend, separated two trophies and handed them into his hands.
At the same time, the awarding of the best country album was also held on the stage.
There is no such thing as Luo Quan this time. Although she is involved in various music genres, the albums she released are mainly classified into rock and pop. This award was undisputedly won by Caitlin.
Before Luo Quan appeared, she was a veritable country queen. After winning the Grammy, she immediately signed a contract with a major company, and her popularity began to skyrocket around the world.
Although she has recently been seeking a transformation and entering the pop field, she has not fallen behind in country music. Her dominance is still quite high, and it is not a surprise to win the award.
The 1.8-meter beauty walked onto the stage with tears in her eyes. Standing next to the host, she was actually a head taller than him and had to bend down slightly to speak.
"Wow, these legs are amazing." Seifert was below, and his eyes widened when he saw Caitlin's long legs and Leon.
The most eye-catching thing about Caitlin is her amazingly long legs. Not long ago, she was trending on Twitter because she insured these legs for 20 million US dollars.
Today at the Grammys, Caitlin also very generously exposed her legs, which she is most proud of.
"It's not bad." Luo Quan took a sip of water and seemed a little uninterested.
I don't know if she looked at it too many times while taking a shower, but now she is a little tired of the beauty's body.
No matter how beautiful it is, it cannot be as beautiful as your own.
If it were anyone else, he would have said this out of bitterness, but when Luo Quan said this, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.
The gap between the two in this aspect is even greater than the gap between the two in music, and it is visible to the naked eye.
After country music, the first heavyweight award has come - Best MV Production of the Year.
Among so many works of art, this is one of the few heavyweight awards that can be won by spending money.
Although in-depth MV scripts are also more likely to win awards, good scripts are always hard to come by, and compared to throwing money at them, it is much easier.
Therefore, every year this award is competed by large-scale productions backed by big capital, and singers with big capital are either kings or queens.
What's interesting is that Caitlin, who has just signed with a major company, is also on the list of candidates. The MV for the title song of her new album last year was really beautiful. It was praised by both the industry and outside. Even if she won an award, it wouldn't be a big deal. Strange.
It is worth mentioning that the MV currently recognized as having the best quality is "This is American" shot by Luo Quan a while ago, which almost completely exposed the social problems in the United States. Now the number of views on YouTube has exceeded 1 billion, and the discussion is hot It can only be described as an explosion.
This was originally an unrivaled video, from rap to MV, it was unrivaled.
But unfortunately, it was released at the beginning of the year and did not participate in this Grammy selection, so no matter how high the quality is, we have to wait until this time next year.
Therefore, the best MV of this year was won by Caitlin, which was also her second trophy tonight.
In the past few Grammys, she has only won three Grammys in total, and she has accompanied her many times. However, she won two Grammys this year. It can be said to be a bumper harvest, so Caitlin is in Taiwan. She seemed very excited, and the host gently comforted her and asked her to calm down before speaking.
However, at such a festive moment, a disharmonious scene happened.
A black man wearing a T-shirt and baseball cap walked onto the stage and asked for the microphone from Caitlin.
At a young age, Caitlin had not yet realized the malice of the world, so she simply handed the microphone over to her.
"First of all, congratulations to you, Caitlin, and congratulations on winning this award, but I think Paris's MV is the most amazing!" The black man paused and continued to repeat: "Paris's MV is the most amazing. Yes, she is more suitable for this trophy!"
After speaking, he returned the microphone to Caitlin and hurried back to his seat.
At this time, the entire Staples Center was in an uproar.
Caitlin was completely stunned. The joy in her heart was completely washed away by such an unexpected situation, and she smiled awkwardly while holding the microphone.
In the audience, the black female singer Paris who was mentioned also spread her hands with a look of wtf on her face. She did not appear in this situation.
Although both she and Caitlin were nominated, it was Caitlin who won the award in the end. No matter what she thought in her heart, she should give her blessings on the surface.
And as a diva-level singer, there is actually nothing to worry about winning a Grammy. If you miss it this time, it’s a big deal and you’ll have to work hard next time.
If this sentence was said by some unknown person, then so be it.
The key person who said this is a great figure in new century rap. This black man has won more than a dozen Grammys and is currently the goat (the strongest) of black rap on the West Coast. He is also known as West Master.
He brought revolutionary progress to rap music, allowing rap to have melody and truly reach the masses.
For rap music to be as popular as it is now, it plays a huge role.
Even though he is only in his thirties, he is a well-deserved senior in the music industry. Even a little rap king like Leon has to greet him obediently when meeting him.
But it was such a senior leader who took away the microphone of the juniors in public and said that your trophy should be given to others.
Any normal person at the scene would think that Mr. Xi is out of his mind after seeing this scene.
Actually no, because he has always been so deviant, which is in line with his usual online behavior.
But this time, the way he went crazy was really inappropriate, and it hurt others a lot.
More importantly, this is the Grammy global live broadcast.
Those words just now must have spread all over the world by now.
It can be expected that no matter who wins the award tonight, there will be no more popular award than this one.
