Chapter 1996： award trophies

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

​​

Gillen Haas stood in the backstage and took a few deep breaths to adjust his fast heartbeat. Tonight's awards ceremony was halfway over, and it was as lively as expected, not even the sound of gongs and drums. Pass.

​​

In fact, the awards ceremony is more of a lively event. Tonight's star-studded stage is indeed very exciting, but what Gillen-Haas is most looking forward to is Radiohead's first performance on an American TV show in nearly nine years. People expect very much.

​​

At this moment, the staff's voice "come to the stage" came over, interrupting the thoughts that were racing in Gillen Haas's head. He subconsciously took a step and walked in the front, with his teammates in a melancholy mood behind him. , walked out of the curtain together, exposed under the stage lights.

​​

Although the whole band of Melancholy is the guest of honor, the lines are basically made by Gillen Haas and Joe Burrows, the two most popular members, speaking on behalf of them. They are in charge of presenting the award for the best rock singer today. After the two of them made a little joke, they signaled everyone to look at the big screen and watch the candidate singers for this award.

​​

In the year just ended, rap music ushered in a big explosion in the American music market, Lil-Wayne, Flo-Rida, Kanye-West, Ludacris, SnmapDagg, Amy -Nam, Nas and others all have good works. Among them, Lear-Wayne, Flo-Rida, Kanye-West, who have released new albums, have become the main force in the music market. Army, impressive. Before the Grammys, it was said that this year's ceremony was a feast of American rap versus Britpop.

​​

Corresponding to rap, is the rise of a group of representative British rock singers such as Coldplay, UZ, and Radiohead, coupled with the outstanding performance of newcomers such as Duffy and Adele Adkins. The Grammys are America vs. Britain, and it does make sense.

​​

In the rap music of the past year, there have also been many newcomers who stood out. Flo-Rida is actually a newcomer, and only really rose at the end of last year. In addition, Chicago newcomer Rupe-Fiasco (a) also won the whole Approved by the rap world. Among many new rap singers, Evan Bell is the least rookie. The song "ghter" at the beginning of the year made everyone see the new side of Evan Bell. I thought it was just a flash in the pan, but at the end of the year The new album "Five" brought by Evan Bell has four high-quality and high-level rap songs. Although the style of the entire album is varied, it is still classified in the rap category in this Grammy. , launched the fiercest competition.

​​

Compared with rap, rock has faded slightly in the past year. The two really outstanding rock albums are from Coldplay and /. The albums of Rock Boy and Radiohead have failed to gain corresponding attention in the US market. The former This was due to a decline in the quality of the album, which was promoted mainly in Europe. As a result, the competition for best rock singer presents an eerie situation.

​​

First of all, there is no division of male singers and female singers this year, and there is only one best rock singer; secondly, among the five singers on the shortlist, only two singers who have actually released rock albums are Bruce Springsteen and Paul. - McCartney, the remaining three singers are all cameos, namely John Mayer - his album is mainly in the pop department, Neil Young - he is also the main player in the pop department, Evan Bell - he This year, he moved to the rap department. This is really embarrassing.

​​

However, this is the normal law of the market. In the past eight years of the 21st century, the first is the revival of rock and roll, then the dominance of rhythm and blues, and last year, it became the world of rap and country. The rise and fall of the wind has a certain law and reincarnation.

​​

In this way, the competition for the best rock singer at the 51st Grammy is unpredictable, whether the veteran rock star Bruce Springsteen will once again rise to power, or Paul McCourtney will finally win the Grammy nod. , or the two popular singers Evan Bell and John Mayer won. As for Neil's dark horse, the quality is still not high.

​​

Looking at Evan Bell on the big screen, Gillen Haas's thoughts are a little erratic again. Although he has listened to the album "Five" many times, he is still surprised that Evan Bell is in music. He couldn't help but start to recall how he felt when he first met Evan Bell at school. At that time, Evan Bell seemed to be a rookie who had just been involved in music creation, but he could not remember the details. screen.

​​

"The five are absolutely outstanding singers. Such fierce competition really makes people look forward to the final result, so let's take a look at the final winners, which is very exciting." Joe Burrows' voice Came here, interrupting Gillen Haas's thoughts. Gillen-Haas took over, "The answer is in the envelope in my hand, let's find out together.

​​

Gillen-Haas opened the envelope in his hand and took out the card inside. He could feel that the members behind him stuck their heads out and looked at the card in his hand. Looking at the name on the card, Gillen Haas was stunned, but it only took less than a second, and he quickly smiled, "The 51st Grammy Best Rock Singer The winner," Gillen-Haas raised his head and looked at the dark crowd.

​​

Originally at this time, according to the internal agreement of Melancholy Mind, Gillen Haas should hand over the card to Joe Burrows, deliberately create a time gap, and then Joe Burrows would name the winner. But Gillen-Haas's hands did not move. He just looked at the audience, trying to penetrate the blinding lights in front of him and find the familiar figure in the audience.

​​

The light hit his eyes directly, making Gillen-Haas feel his eyes dry for a while, so he couldn't help blinking - he couldn't find the figure, because the light was too dazzling. Gillen Haas bent over, approached the microphone, and announced the final winner, "Evan Bell, '21 Gwns.'"

​​

Joe Burrows was stunned for a moment because Gillen Haas didn't let himself announce the final winner, he did it himself. But Joe Burrows quickly understood, Evan Bell, a particularly special name for a melancholic state of mind.

​​

Both Bruce Sterwood and Jacob Tebow, who were standing behind, were also stunned, but the reasons for their stunnedness were different. Bruce Sterwood sighed because he did not expect that such a day would come when they handed out the award to Evan Bell. He couldn't help but whispered in his heart, "Good job", and then he applauded. The emotions in Jacob-Tibo's heart were so complicated that he couldn't describe a clear idea at all. He only felt that all the ups and downs rushed into his heart, and he couldn't even make any reaction in an instant. Fortunately, he was standing behind, and the camera was aimed at Evan Bell in the auditorium at this time, so no one noticed his abnormality.

​​

There was warm applause from the audience, and the lights locked on Evan Bell. He stood up with his usual humble and bright smile, and the surrounding singers all stepped forward to express their congratulations. Regardless of the rap attributes of the album "Five", the quality of the rock-style song "Twenty-One Shots (21quns is indeed superior to others, and it is not enough to be admired. Just look at the standing ovation of everyone at the scene, Evan Bell definitely deserves it

​​

This isn't Evan Bell's first gramophone tonight. Before that, he beat JayZ, Lil Wayne, Nas, Rupe Fiasco with the song "Fighter" A strong alternate lineup, won the Best Rapper Award, not only tied Aretha Franklin's record of winning Grammys eight times in a row, but also relied on six such as pop, country, rock, rhythm and blues, soul, and rap. Field won a Grammy Grammy, becoming the singer with the most Grammy Awards in any genre.

​​

The best rapper award was given shortly after the ceremony, and Evan Bell and Ryan Ted's "The Fighter" beat Kanye West, Flo Rida, Lil Way Well, JayZ won the best rap song award. In the rap department, which is full of powerful players, "newcomer" Evan Bell has a very strong fighting force. And now the best rock singer award is Evan Bell's third trophy tonight.

​​

It seems that Grammy is going to wash away the shame of failing to share the cake two years ago, and give Evan Bell the credit he deserves.

​​

Gillen Haas stood where he was, watching Evan Bell accept the blessings of other singers along the way, calmly walked towards the stage, and his heart was full. Today, Evan Bell didn't choose a suit and tie, but chose a T-shirt with a coquettish color like peacock blue, with washed black jeans, and a black rivet leather jacket on the outside. The whole style is quite heavy metal, but Again with a casual street feel.

​​

With Evan Bell like this, everything was like when Gillen Haas first saw him ten years ago. Suddenly, the picture in Gillen Haas's head became clear. Ten years ago, Evan - Bell also walked towards them with a relaxed but confident smile, and he said, "Good afternoon, I'm Evan Bell."

​​

By the time Gillen Haas reacted, Evan Bell had already walked onto the stage and strode towards him. Evan Bell had a happy smile on his face, not only the joy of winning the award, but also the ease and excitement of seeing old friends.

​​

Gillen Haas never imagined that one day, he would hand out the Grammy trophy for best rock singer to Evan Bell. Life is really interesting.
