As the most watched music festival in the world, the Grammys always have countless pairs of eyes staring at every move of the Grammys every year. Although the influence of the Grammys is not as extensive as that of the Oscars, it is undeniable that the Grammys are very important to the whole music. The market orientation is still very obvious. The revival of rock and roll in the 47th and the country return of the 48th basically dominated the music trend of the whole year. Of course, singers who have been recognized in the Grammys in the past few years have also They all broke out into their own piece of the sky

But after the 48th Grammy ended last year, it suffered an unprecedented blow. Of course, it is not because of Evan Bell's absence that the Grammy ratings continue to be sluggish, nor is it because of the downturn in the entire music market. Faced with an unprecedented challenge, but because the Grammys were embroiled in the bribery issue that turned all awards show talk

As soon as the forty-eighth Grammys ended, New York official Elliott Spitzer released a two-year survey. The survey found that American record companies are paying the largest number of American record companies every year. Nine of the radio stations paid millions to get songs from big-name artists like Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Top hits on the leaderboard

The nine radio stations involved in the take-back scandal control about 7,000 radio stations across the United States, and the record companies that paid them bribes included the famous Sony Bertelsmann Records and Universal Music, of which Universal Music paid 500 bribes. $10,000 Sony Bertelsmann Records paid $10 million. Although among the major record companies, Warner Records, EMI and other companies are not on Elliott Spitzer's list, but People still can't help but wonder if it really doesn't exist? Still haven't been found out yet?

This survey is regarded by the entire American public opinion community as "the most far-reaching survey of the United States so far to the communication industry and the recording industry." Although the downturn of the entire music market in the first half of 2006 cannot be said to be because of this survey report, it is more or less likely It is still affected. Universal Music and Sony Bertelsmann Records have almost exhausted all their abilities to deal with the emerging media in this turmoil, and even other record companies that have not been involved are no exception. After all, this is the entire record industry. things, no one can do it alone

Although Elliott Spitzer's investigation report did not cast any doubts or speculations on the Grammys themselves, there are already many music lovers in the United States who have expressed concern that the Grammys rely solely on human votes for awards. Impartiality questioned and investigation requested

The Grammy is sponsored by the National Recording and Science Society. In this society, fifteen categories of professionals including singers, performers, songwriters, conductors, photographers, commentators and music video producers can apply Serve as a judge, but only those who have at least six works published are eligible for this position. Senior professionals have always been a guarantee of the authority of the Grammys, and the system and procedures of the Grammy selection process are also very strict. fairness of the awards ceremony

But in the final analysis, this is still a work involving people. As long as there are people, there is the possibility of bribery. To be precise, as long as it is an award ceremony, it may involve the existence of shady

Grammys can be said to be innocent this time. The entire music industry has questioned the authority and impartiality of Grammys. This also forced Grammys to undergo an eight-month inspection before and after the final result. As a result, Grammys did not have any bribery, but the relevant agencies will still maintain a state of supervision over Grammys in the future.

Although the Grammys finally managed to clarify themselves, the accident was linked to bribery, and the fact of accepting the inspection itself still hurt the Grammys. Coupled with the entire sluggish music market and chaotic record companies, it is about to open. Curtain's forty-ninth Grammys Are Really Worrying

The Grammy Awards are not like the Oscars. The major weather vanes and the Film Critics Association battle wits throughout the awards season. They have treated the entire film awards season as an annual celebration. The Grammy competition is relatively simple. The competition is concentrated among the judges within the National Recording and Science Society, of course, partly because the Grammy's influence is not strong enough to affect the trend of other major awards shows throughout the year.

Therefore, although the Grammy Awards ceremony was held in mid-February, only half a month before the Oscars, the Grammy nominations were announced early in December, unlike the Oscar nominations that waited until the end of January Most awards ceremonies come out after the dust settles

After the list of the 49th Grammy Awards was released, the influence of Elliott Spitzer's investigative report can be clearly felt. Taking the major record companies as the standard, Warner Music's nomination The number jumped to the first place, with a full 62 nominations that were better than the other three record companies, and first took the initiative in the nomination list; Universal Pictures, Sony Bertelsmann Records were severely impacted, and EMI The record was stalemate, and there was a pattern that was rare in previous years.

In fact, in terms of singer lineup, Universal Music has a deep heritage, otherwise it would not have been able to occupy the top spot in the music market for many years. The strong return of Mary-Bridge, the rise of the Black Eyed Peas, u2, Prince , snow cruisers, all have absolute strength, still not to be underestimated

Sony Bertelsmann Records achieved the effect of one plus one greater than two through integration, Bob Dylan, Southern Chicken, John Mayer, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, etc., such an all-star lineup is so luxurious that people can't open their eyes, no wonder they were able to win the first place in the global music market share in 2005

Although EMI records are declining day by day, middle singers such as Paul McCartney and Coldplay still keep them competitive enough

In 2006, it achieved a big reversal and finally won the first Warner Records in the global music market. It is not only Evan Bell as a singer, although Evan Bell has already reached a large number of singers. , but under the banner of Warner Records, the lineup of singers such as James Blunt, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna, Niles Barkley, Green Day, Enya, Carrie Underwood, etc., is nothing compared to competitors. not weak

In the contest of singers, everyone is evenly matched. From the slight gap in the year-end music market share, it can be seen that the struggle between Warner Music, Universal Music, and Sony Bertelsmann Records is still going on, but in the competition for the Grammy Awards. Elliott Spitzer's investigation report obviously played a very important role in the wind direction. Warner Records led by Evan Bell actually beat the all-star Sony Bertelsmann Records in the nomination. It's a small accident

But in the entire nomination list, the top nomination is not Evan Bell, who created a miracle last year, but the American rhythm and blues veteran, repeating Mary Blige, who finally won eight nominations , leading all singers, this can also be said to be an "unpopular". It's not that Mary-Bridgee is not good enough, but Evan Bell is too strong, and he has always been a Grammy darling. In a backward position, no one can really imagine

Behind Mary-Blige, Evan Bell followed with seven nominations, and the nominations for the best production of the year, the best album of the year, and the best single of the year three comprehensive awards, once again highlighting the fact that Evan - Bell's unique dominance at the Grammys, and the fact that the album "Four" was assigned to the rock and pop divisions, earned Evan Bell Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Best Rock Vocal Performance, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance Four nominations for rock song, best rock album and more

Although Evan Bell is slightly behind Mary-Bridge in the number of nominations, Evan Bell has an absolute impact in every award, and the suspense of the awards ceremony is still retained.

After Evan Bell, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have won six nominations, and will compete fiercely with Evan Bell in the rock department, the two singers of the same Warner Records apparently have a cannibalistic southern chick, James - Blunt, John Mayer, Prince, and the Black Eyed Peas have all won multiple nominations The Grammys also showed a pattern of blooming flowers

In terms of sales volume alone, the album "Four" won the world in 2006, but the Grammys is not an awards ceremony that is judged in terms of sales. At present, in terms of the number of nominations, "Four" has won seven nominations, even if Evan Bell has won all the awards, and it is impossible to break Michael Jackson's record of winning eight Grammys in a single Grammy. So, from this extreme point of view, even if Evan Bell is praised For the Grammy darling, even if the album "Four" is majestic, even if Evan Bell created a lot of miracles in 2006, for now, he still has not reached a peak

Of course, it is precisely because the Grammys are not an awards ceremony that awards awards based on sales, so this also makes all possibilities present at the awards ceremony. Even if it is not as chaotic as this year's Oscars, the Grammys have just experienced a year of twists and turns. Beauty, in what manner will it show its charm to the audience, which has also become a major focus in the music market in February

On February 12, the 49th Grammy Awards Ceremony is about to kick off on a stage where major singers are vying to open up and companies are competing fiercely.
