Chapter 964： gala opening

Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Evan Bell's right hand side was empty, and when he slipped past, the five seats were empty and seemed very empty, with Alicia Keys sitting on his left hand side. The arrangement of the organizing committee today is very interesting. You must know that three years ago, Evan Bell and Alicia Keys were competitors that the media had always advocated. In the description of the media, the two even wanted to tear each other up. When the two met at the Grammys, they had a conversation, but there was not much intersection between the two. I don't know what the organizing committee thought today, so they arranged the two together.

When he saw Alicia Keys sit down, Evan Bell said politely, "Congratulations, this album is excellent." The polite words of compliments in social situations don't cost money anyway. It couldn't be easier. Alicia Keys won eight nominations.

Alicia Keys also responded with a smile, "The 'Three' album is the first to be heard." Alicia Keys glanced at the vacant seat next to him, and the movement of sitting down paused a little. a bit.

Evan Bell saw Alicia Keys's actions and said with a smile, "This is the Magic Red Band, they are going backstage to prepare for the opening performance." The organizing committee arranged the Magic Red Band in Evan- Bell's right. Evan Bell decided to participate in the Grammy Awards at the last minute this year, so it is naturally impossible for him to do the opening performance, after all, it takes many rehearsals. And the Magic Red Band got this honor.

While being nominated for Rookie of the Year, Magic Red was also a guest at this year's Grammy opening performance. At the beginning, Evan Bell became a Grammy unveiling guest for two consecutive years as a newcomer. The first time he performed with u2, the second time he was the leader. This year, the Magic Reds are also among the opening guests, who will join this year's host of the ceremony, Quinn LaFalty, Gwen Stefani, The Black Eyed Peas (.), L.A. Lonely (. s..), the Franz Ferdinand Band (.) and other groups of artists kicked off the curtain together with a joint singing.

It can be seen from the list of opening guests. Although the nomination list is that veterans have the upper hand, but to attract audiences. The opening guests chose a very young lineup.

When all the audience fell silent. The four members of the Black Eyed Peas were the first to appear on stage. This is a very young team with three men and one female lead singer, but they have a lot of experience in performing. The two members of the Black Eyed Peas first worked together since 1989, but it wasn't until 2003 that they met female lead singer Fergie. This was the official birth of the Black Eyed Peas. Before that, the Black Eyed Peas, who had been in the groping stage, were always in the groping stage. After meeting Fergie, there was a strong chemical reaction, and the album was very popular for the first time.

The Black Eyed Peas are a group that spans multiple musical genres. A funk hip-hop chorus inspired by soul, jazz, Latin and live singing spirit. Let them successfully occupy a place in the music scene.

It must be admitted that the music of the Black Eyed Peas has the energy to make people excited, especially when they feel it on the spot, they can feel the thrill of the melody of the music in the blood, and they can't help but join the ranks of the dynamic. And when you're in a scene like this, that rhythm spreads easily from person to person. Then join in the same rhythm and enjoy the joy of the big carnival together.

The Black Eyed Peas won four nominations this year, including production of the year in the general category, for "let't.started." Also a big hit.

"Start Carnival" is indeed a very suitable song for carnival. The fast rhythm, magical electronic sound, and provocative lyrics made the 47th Grammys kick off with joy.

Evan Bell began to high-five and beat the beat with the melody, fully immersed in the enjoyment of the music. Alicia Keys, who was sitting next to Evan Bell, was also infected by this atmosphere, and involuntarily nodded and clapped her hands into the celebratory atmosphere. In fact, it's not just Evan Bell and Alicia Keys, many other young people around have joined the beat, as if it is not an awards ceremony, but an exciting concert.

When the Black Eyed Peas finished their performance, Evan Bell and Alicia Keys glanced at each other, with thin beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads, and the smiles on their faces remained the same. , the brilliance in his eyes is twinkling.

However, the eyes of the two people only crossed each other, and Quinn Rafati and Gwen Stefani appeared on the stage together. This means that the second performance has come in a row again.

Quinn Rafati is also an amphibious entertainer. She has won an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "Chicago" and won a Grammy for Best Rap in Music as early as 1995. Singer Award. And Gwen Stefani, as the lead singer of Undoubted Band (ubt), has long been famous all over the world. At the end of last year, she left Undoubted Band and released her first album after her solo career, which also won her more. praise.

Gwen Stefani sang "What Are You Waiting For (., the lead single from her debut album, which has a rap part and is a collaboration with female rapper Eve, and was nominated for this year's Grammy Awards. competition for awards. Now, on the opening stage, Quinn Rafati, who has outstanding rap skills, not only took over the host of this year's Grammy Awards, but also contributed a wonderful opening performance with Gwen Stefani.

Whether it's the Black Eyed Peas or Gwen Stefani, including "heaven" by the rock group L.A. Lonely, they're fast-paced songs that push the atmosphere into wave after wave of**. When the Magic Red Band came out, Evan Bell had completely stood up, as if watching a concert, waving his right hand, he did not hide his support for the Magic Red Band at all, and whistled for the sake of The already cheering atmosphere at the scene added more excitement.

After the Magic Red Band debuted, the prelude to their popular song "Love" in the second half of 2004 sounded, the cheers at the scene subsided, and everyone began to shake their heads with the rhythm. The music of the Magic Red Band is a new soul pop rock with full rhythm and refreshing spirit, and the voice of the lead singer Adam Levy is also magnetic and casual. This style is especially expressed in "Fierce Love" Obviously, the emotions of all audiences can be easily mobilized.

Looking at the cheers and screams of the audience at the scene, you can clearly feel that although the Magic Red Band is "freak up", they have already conquered many people with their music.

In fact, the Magic Red Band has proved one thing: the United States has never lacked outstanding musicians, and among those obscure ** musicians, there are a lot of good works, but they all lack A way to express yourself. Just like Magic Red, the album "Songs for Jane" has been released for two years, but it still accumulates dust on the shelves. No one has found the album's excellence, let alone Magic Red. The potential shown in the new pop rock genre.

After Evan Bell discovered the Magic Red Band, he used Eleven Music to re-release the album "Songs for Jane" through Warner Records, but it achieved such incredible good results today. The same album, different publicity channels, and different distribution strategies actually create such a world of difference treatment. Look at the magic red band on the stage now, and listen to this "strong love" that is popular in the United States. Who would have thought that they have to rely on running performances to make a living for many years, and even have the idea of ​​giving up several times. And now, they're standing on the Staples Center stage, opening the 47th Grammy Awards, to cheers and applause from around the world.

Since last year's Grammys, the "pop but no music" has not stopped, and even after the "Three" came out and received rave reviews, this situation has not changed, because people in the American music industry have Know that they have to dig out more great musicians, otherwise the whole market will only continue to languish. Now, Magic Red has apparently once again set an example for the music industry.

Adam-Levy standing on the stage is like a crazy person, shaking his head on the stage, sweat is swaying in the air. When the members of the Black Eyed Peas came on stage again and joined the Magic Red Band to sing "Love" together, the atmosphere in the audience reached a peak. Almost more than half of the people stood up and beat the tempo in tune with the rhythm. And Alicia Keys, who was standing beside Evan Bell, also raised her hands high and beat the beat on her head completely devoted to the concert. Occasionally, when two people's eyes meet in the air, they will show a knowing smile. This way of getting along with enjoying music is much more comfortable than two people's polite compliments to each other.

Finally, the newcomer Franz Ferdinand from Scotland performed the closing performance, and the song "Take Me Away (. drew a perfect ending for today's opening chorus.

The guests in charge of this year's opening performance are a completely young lineup, whether it is the Magic Red Band, Franz Ferdinand, who have been shortlisted for Rookie of the Year, or the Black Eyed Peas, L.A. Gwen Stefani, who just flew solo, has firmly adhered to the line of rejuvenation of the Grammy Awards: after all, young singers are attractive enough for young audiences. The choice of the three rock bands also indirectly conveys Grammy's tribute to rock music: this year marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of rock music.

When the concert ended, all the audience stood up collectively, cheering one after another, in a lively sound, the Grammy Awards Ceremony officially kicked off.
