Chapter 493： record race

"Hey, it's me again." Evan Yibel walked to the front of the stage, raised the card in his right hand, and waved it casually. A Bell has been on the stage six times, this is the seventh time, it can be said that Evan Bell is the most active person so far tonight. "Although I think I wish I could appear on the stage a few more times, but don't worry, this time my task is not to read the thank-you list." The laughter from the audience grew louder.

Evan-Bell stood on the spot, holding the card in both hands, calmly and calmly carrying out the duties of the presenter. Even if he didn't have to deliberately make fun, Evan-Bell's elegant speech could always win the enthusiastic response from the scene, just like His performance on "Saturday Night Live." Many people are even thinking that perhaps Evan Bell appearing on the stage to replace the host of Dustin Hoffman tonight will have a very impressive performance.

"At this time last year, I sat apprehensively under the stage waiting for the final Rookie of the Year winner to be announced, and luckily Christina finally called my name, so I'm here today at this moment in I'm here." Evan Bell said with a smile, "Of course, maybe I was thinking, if God has time to think about my wishes, I don't mind when Christina chats with everyone, I keep thinking "Harley Road" "I hope she will pronounce my name. Or Harry Potter's magic is also a good choice, maybe, if I can choose, I would prefer Hermione Granger to spell the spell for me." The laughter sounded again, and it became a piece.

"Hey, Jason, stop superimposing your **** on your index finger." Evan-Bell suddenly attacked, and the scene director's camera immediately brought Jason-Mayez to see Jason-Mayer. With a helpless and panic expression on Zi's face, the whole audience burst into laughter "Avril, relax, relax, I know you're not the type to pronounce "Hallelujah." ” Avril Lavigne caught by the camera was shot, which made Xiao Ni the Hedgehog look indignant.

"By the way, who else? Forgive my bad memory, when I was the best rookie last year, I can't remember the names of the five candidates this year, for God's sake. Of course, I definitely don't Admit that I remember Jason and Avril because my position is right in the middle of them, absolutely not." This time, even Avril and Lavigne couldn't help laughing, and the audience laughed even more.

"Okay, I noticed that there are still a few pairs of eyes that think I'm wordy. Let's look at the big screen. While awakening my memory, I also tell you the five most brilliant newcomers in the past 2002." Evan Bell's insipid speech with a funny award presenter made all the audience turn their eyes to the big screen with a smile.

2002 was still a shining year for newcomers, with Ashati, Nora-Jones, Avril-Lavigne, John-Meier, and Jason-Mayez becoming the final five candidates. Ashati is the representative of rhythm and blues, Avril Lavigne is the rock-pop genre, Nora-Jones, John-Meier and Jason-Mayez are all popular types, of which Nora-Jones is a bit jazzy, and Jason-Maez Yates is more of a folk song. Although the Avril Lavigne album has sold more than 4 million copies, Nora Jones' brilliance should not be underestimated, and the solid strength of John Mayer and Jason Mayez is even more impressive. Good new people are really tricky.

The competition of these five newcomers also continued the competition model of Evan Bell, Alicia Keys and others last year. Whether it is the general trend and commercial popularity, the rhythm and blues win without suspense, or the sudden emergence of rock and roll. Last year, the Grammys chose Evan Bell to demonstrate their determination to innovate.

How will the Grammys go this year?

"Look, these are our five outstanding candidates. Let me ease the tension and announce the results directly! Look at the big screen, these five nervous faces are always urging me to release the results quickly "Evan Bell raised the card in his right hand with a smile. "Okay, let's see, in 2003, the winner of the 45th Grammy Award for Newcomer of the Year is" Evan Bell will Looking up at the audience, there was a smile in his eyes, "Reporters, I know what you are thinking, but I still have to say that the winner is Nora Jones."

The palms and noses moved all over the place.

As the two most noteworthy singers tonight, Evan Bell and Nora Jones are also the handover of last year's best newcomer and this year's best newcomer. Reporters naturally know where to watch, no wonder Evan Bell just said that sentence. "The 45th Grammy Awards Ceremony, the best newcomer in the two years before and after illuminates Madison Square Garden" is definitely a good topic.

Evan Bell handed the gramophone to the tall little Nora Jones, and gave her a big hug "Congratulations, after you really came out, Evan Bell saw Nora Jones' naive look. On his face, the light of joy bloomed, and he replied, "Xie She. Evan Bell pointed to the microphone in front of him, reserved the spot for the winner, then politely stepped back and returned to the backstage.

A second award was awarded next, in the competition for single of the year, Amy Namm's "No Me Norah Jones" Somehow

, Nelly's "Dilemma (d, Five Cents' "What You Remember Me" and Evan Bell's "Sky Light (ndn"

became the final five alternate singles.

Before the awards ceremony, the five cents band was considered to be lacking a little domineering. Compete with the Nora-Jones Troika.

Among them, Amy Nham's topic xn, word of mouth and sales are undoubtedly admirable. In addition to showing his unparalleled rap skills, this song "Without Me" also shows in  His superhuman sarcasm skills. But it is precisely because it is too successful that it is not very optimistic. After all, this controversial xn character full of foul-mouthed words can conquer the Grammy judges, and his grasp of xn is not too high.

Relatively speaking, "Tianguang", which is invincible in sales and word of mouth, not only pushed Evan-Bell's momentum to the highest peak, but also became the song of 2002: and Nora-Jones's girl should not be underestimated. The best of beauty: classic and catchy, while exuding the fresh rhythm of folk ballads, the beautiful voice of this girl is fully displayed. The relaxed tune and the fresh and bright voice of Nora Jones make the work unique. The folklore heritage is completely released.

"Sky Light" and "Somehow" were arguably the two most-completed singles last year, although of course the former's reputation and word-of-mouth sales were much stronger. The media generally believe that this award will be the competition between Evan-Bell and Nora-Jones, whether it will be the strength of Evan-Bell or the comeback of Nora-Jones, which cannot be predicted.

In the end, Nora-Jones won the Best Song of the Year award after winning the Best Newcomer of the Year. This is also the second year in a row that Evan Bell missed this award. If Evan Bell was not mature enough last year, the last-minute failure of "Tianguang" this year has also dragged many people's wrists. However, Nora-Jones' victory is still convincing.

Evan Yi Bell, who returned to his seat, although it is a bit regrettable, after all, "Tianguang" is such a beautiful song, it is indeed difficult for him to surpass him in a short time. He did not win the award this time, and it is estimated that the competition will be more intense in the future. However, the award ceremony is like this, winning the award not only depends on strength, but also a little luck. Therefore, Evan-Bell also smiled and applauded, sending his blessings.

Sure enough, before the final four grand prizes were awarded, everything was possible. Now Evan-Bell and Nora-Jones have jointly won five phonographs. The result of the competition between the two cannot be announced until the last moment. The three-legged confrontation originally expected by the media eventually evolved into a rivalry between the two powers, but it did not reduce the excitement of the awards ceremony in the slightest.

The remaining two grand prizes, no matter who wins or who loses their place, is enough to add another bright spot to this conservative and dull Grammy Awards ceremony.

Twenty-three-year-old Nora-Jones stood on the stage and couldn't help herself. This was the fifth time she took the stage to accept the award. The people to thank are almost the same, but she still has eyes on her. Tearfully thanked my mother again.

In the forty-five history of the Grammy Awards, the highest single-session record for male singers was Michael Jackson's eight records in the concave years. At present, it seems that Evan and Bell have no chance to break this year, but female singers The record for the highest award in a single session is five. If Nora Jones wins another award later, it is possible to break this record. At the same time, if Evan-Bell wins again, he will also become the male singer with the most Grammy Awards in a single session in 15 years. Therefore, every award given now has the potential to create a new record. Of course, it is not excluded that Amy-Namm rebounded strongly, or other dark horses rushed out, and the historical figures were fixed at the current position.

In any case, when the next presenter took to the stage to announce that the best production of the year was about to be awarded, the director also wisely switched the camera between several focus figures. Nora-Jones, who is still in the backstage, is wiping tears: Amy-Nam is sitting in her seat, still with a rebellious expression on her face, I don’t know if he is angry or critical: Evan-Bell smiles with the side Jason-Mayez, who was exchanging messages, both had very relaxed smiles on their faces.

As the four Grammy awards, the competition for any award is extremely fierce, and the best production of the year is no exception. ! .
