Chapter 259 Best Production Award of the Year
“Hey, Link Taylor, why did you just come in? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
In the front seat area, Selena waved to the two of them. She was wearing a red dress, with long brown curly hair, exposing her small shoulders. Her dress was fresh and cute, with a hint of sexiness.
At the end of last year, Selena released her first song and dance album as a singer. The sales were good and she had a small influence in the music circle. Therefore, she also received an invitation to attend the Grammy ceremony, just like Link last year.
“I told you before that we wanted you to enter the venue with us, but you didn’t want to.”
Link pulled Taylor to the front row to greet Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood and Adele, who flew in from the UK.
Adele was nominated for a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance this year for her single "Hometown Glory".
Adele complained when she saw him. She was originally a very pure musician, but because she met him several times last year, many scandals about the two of them appeared in the media. Adele said that he was a big guy. Gossip bearer.
Link apologized to her and joked that the next time he went to England to meet her, he would do it quietly so that the paparazzi would not know.
Adele batted her fan-like eyelashes and rolled her eyes at him, saying that this would only make the scandal more real.
“Link, the Internet said that you are preparing to compete with Justin Bieber for the pop music charts in March and April. Is this true?”
“Yes, 50 Cent wanted revenge on the pop charts, so they declared war on me unilaterally, and I had no choice but to accept it.”
"Thanks!"
In terms of looks and acting ability, Justin is pretty good. He has red lips and white teeth, a clear and sunny voice, and is also very talented in singing. It would be good to be a child star.
Since becoming a billionaire, he has sought stability in everything and does not like to compete with others, especially in music.
The second program was Beyoncé singing "Single Lady" live, with more than a dozen **** dancing partners, swinging her long legs on the stage, singing and dancing, which suddenly dissipated the sad atmosphere of the scene.
In stark contrast to the lively back row and stage, the hundreds of nominated musicians and singer guests in the middle mostly watched with indifferent expressions as the 16-year-old Justin sang and danced on the stage.
"Hey, don't cheer for Link. Last year, he competed with Jay-Z on the charts, and all the albums released at the same time suffered. This year, Link and Justin compete. They are very popular and their influence will be greater. By then we will all Why bother cheering him when he is in trouble?"
Katy Perry joked with a smile.
During JB’s performance, the fans in the back row of the audience shouted loudly and the atmosphere was very lively.
Link shrugged, having nothing to say.
"Come on Link! I think you can win."
But he doesn't compete, and others want to compete with him, so he can only use their tricks.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the Grammy Music Awards ceremony began. Since MJ passed away last year, the memorial service was also held here, so the first program was to play the famous music television work "Song of the Earth" produced using 3D stereoscopic technology. , to commemorate MJ.
Lady Gaga said while holding her mobile phone.
The singers around him nodded with deep understanding.
shouted Miley Cyrus next to Kesha and Selena.
The third program is that the popular little king Justin Bieber sings the hit song "Baby" on the stage with a few backup dancers. He sings and dances at the same time, making the program more cheerful.
It’s just that his singing skills are average, the lyrics of the songs are more salivating, the rhythm is monotonous, and the style is also very immature.
Top-notch PKs are very topical, and the media will pay special attention to them when promoting them. Albums with high exposure will naturally have high sales, and albums released at the same time as them will inevitably be affected.
The Grammy Awards is a big party for the world's top musicians. Those who can attend the party here have first-rate music creation and music appreciation abilities, and some can be called masters.
Now we ask them to open their eyes wide and see a 16-year-old kid working on his job. How will they feel?
Especially this little guy’s album sales are higher than theirs, his singles are more popular than theirs, his popularity is higher than theirs, and he has more fans than them.
How will they feel when they feel unhappy but have to accept this reality?
Link looked at his colleagues around him. Taylor, Selena, Adele, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Kesha, Carrie Underwood, p!nk, Lana, Jonas Brothers, Kings of Leon, Green Day, Jason Mayerz, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyoncé and more.
Among these people, most of the young singers reacted calmly, while most of the older generation singers were chatting and trying to get past the show in this way.
Papapapa~
The old-timer’s wish soon came true. Justin Bieber’s performance ended, and there was a burst of warm applause.
This applause mainly came from the fans in the back row, as well as Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Usher, Kanye and others, and some people stood up and applauded.
Hearing such warm applause, many old singers in the front row looked back with expressions of disbelief.
Especially several veteran rock singers such as Jeff Beck and Bruce Springsteen complained angrily to the people next to them, as if they were saying that some people would like such a bad song. Are today’s fans at this level?
“It’s finally over. I hear this song so often these days that I’m almost bored to death.”
Selena patted the hem of her skirt and said.
Link smiled softly, "It's good. In the past, the Grammy Awards excluded young singers, and now they actively invite Justin to perform on stage. This shows that the Grammy Awards are becoming more and more open and tolerant of young singers, and we are young singers." , this change is beneficial to us.”
“You mean, you and Taylor will win a lot of awards this time?”
Selena blinked and asked.
“Not necessarily. The singers nominated this year are all young. Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Kings of Leon are all under the age of 30. The competition is fierce, and it is not easy to win the award.”
While Link and Selena were talking, the award ceremony on the stage began.
The winners of last year's Grammy Award for Best Production of the Year: British rock star Robert Plant and American country music queen Alison Krauss took the stage hand in hand to present the first Grammy award of this year, Best of the Year. Make.
“The winner of the 52nd Grammy Music Awards for Best Recording of the Year is.”
Robert Plant glanced at the audience.
Singer shortlisted for this award this year include Beyoncé's "Halo", Taylor Swift's "youbelongwithme", Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody", Lady Gaga's "Poker Face", and Link Baker's "Unstoppable".
These five finalists also represent five mainstream music genres, namely blues, country, rock, dance music, and pop.
CBS television cameras also scanned several people’s faces one by one.
Link held Taylor's hand and kept a calm smile on his face, but was being filmed by the camera lens. He was always worried that his smile was too stiff.
“Link, you have such a fake smile.”
Selena blinked her big eyes, pointed at his face and joked.
“Don’t make trouble, or I’ll beat you up.”
Link said while moving the corners of his mouth.
“There are cameras in front of you, so don’t make trouble at this time.”
Taylor also lowered his voice and said.
On the stage, Robert Plant smiled and handed the card to Alison Krauss. Alison glanced at the card, with a smile on her face, and said into the microphone:
“Unstoppable Link Baker!”
