In the bright and spacious hall of the Holy Auditorium, warm applause broke out, applauding the British black singer Ciel Selier, who just won the best male pop singer, and Angela was no exception, although the other party had snatched it from her before. Gone Best Album.
The girl wears a silver-gray sleeved evening dress, only showing her collarbone, and with a little decoration, the whole person looks noble and elegant. This is what she decided after choosing in the wardrobe for a long time. One or two pieces of clothes that meet her requirements, you must know that she has hardly ever gone to the mall, and she always wears simple matching clothes. These evening dresses are all designed and made for her by my mother, and I want to find a Neutrogena from them. Not many, naturally it won't be easy, maybe she should entrust those clothing brands that have a good relationship with her family to make a few evening dresses according to her own requirements
"To be honest, I'm very, very jealous of Seale," Billy Taylor, the black male host, took to the stage at this time, shaking his head and sighing as if very annoyed, "It's also a mouthful, he only needs to sing a few words to get a blockbuster movie. Applause, and even if my mouth is dry, I still can't get the slightest reaction, look at the scene!"
After a burst of laughter, applause broke out again.
"Yes! Yes! How about getting bigger?!" Billy raised his hands in a radiant manner.
"Okay, Billy," another hostess interrupted the mercenary with a laugh, "do you want to be bigger? It's simple, when yours only needs to be moved by words as long as Billy's lyrics. Us. The applause will definitely be louder."
Billy deliberately tilted his head to think for a few minutes, then shook his head: "It seems very difficult to do, so let's move on to the next award, everyone must be looking forward to it - Best Female Pop Vocalist!"
Angela immediately cheered up, adjusted her posture and looked at the big screen, waiting for her avatar to appear. Although she wanted to tell herself that it didn't matter whether she won the award or not, she still longed in her heart that the name she pronounced in a few minutes was hers. She had already missed the best album before, so don't lose the best female singer.
She won this award last year, and it is a factor that she hopes to be re-elected this year. More importantly, there are other reasons. Although I really want to say that there is no best single nominated every year, it seems that she should be eager to get it, but it is a little ironic that The nominated songs are copied from the previous life, even if she has added her own things to it, it is a fact that the main theme has not changed. So in contrast, the best album and best female pop artist who affirmed her entire album are naturally the favorite to get.
But if you think about it, the decision is not in your own hands, and this time the competition is not small. The biggest rival is Anne Lennick, who sang the soul-stirring and beautiful theme song for "Four Hundred Years" in 1992. Silk!
This woman studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and has an academic foundation unmatched by many other female singers. Her neutral voice and semi-opera singing make her singing voice ethereal, profound, and quite unique! She was the lead singer of "Eurythmics", which was popular in the European and American music circles in the 1980s.
"Angel, have you been nominated for Best Female Singer?" Liv, who was sitting beside her, asked softly. She was nominated for Best Music Video for MTV for her biological father's band Aerosmith and traveled to Los Angeles with her mother for the awards ceremony.
"Yes, best album, best female pop artist, and best single," Angela explained, largely immune to her fuzzy personality.
Liv tilted her head to think for a while before saying with certainty, "I like that song "if you feel my love", so you will win this award!"
Yes, yes, the gentlemen of the jury are listening to your command! Although the girl spit out a word in her heart, she still smiled and took her hand and clapped: "Thank you!"
Then follow her to look at the large screen that has been divided into several pieces on the stage, and focus mainly on Anne Lennox. With her ultra-short blonde hair, she stood out, and she wasn't as sexy as many singers. Often appearing in front of the public in neutral dress, this is even more impressive. People's evaluation of her is: a unique personality charm that mixes male perseverance, bravery, rationality and female tenderness, vulnerability, and sensibility! Even the famous gay magazine "The Advocate" selected her as one of the top ten lesbian sexual fantasy objects, which shows how many points this gives her.
"Then, let me see now, who will be the winner of Best Female Pop Vocal Performance!" Susan Weig, the presenter on stage, opened the envelope, "It's surprising, but it deserves its name, this award The winner is Annie Lennox! Congrats!"
In the warm applause of the scene, Angela was slightly absent-minded. Although she still maintained her due manner on the surface, she couldn't help sighing leisurely in her heart. Sure enough, the more personality, the easier it is to be favored.
At this time, a hand was placed on the back of her hand, and the girl turned her head to look, just in time to meet Liv's blue eyes.
"What a pity, my prediction doesn't seem to be accurate." Liv pouted, looking a little playful.
"It doesn't matter, this is a Grammy, anything can happen." Angela also curled her lips, with a bit of ridicule, helplessness and teasing, she quickly figured it out, after all, this is the best female pop singer , it depends on the factors of the album, but the same fashion and personality are also indispensable. For her who plays music, this is what she lacks. Last year, it was mostly luck to win this award. After all, the Grammys are often convulsive , isn't it
"Don't worry, I still have a nomination for the best single." The girl smiled and patted Liv on the back of the hand again, and then continued to look at Annie Lennox who was giving a speech. Since she lost, she lost. Well, it doesn't make sense to think about it.
The girl didn't feel that Liv held her hand a little tighter, and just now, when she pouted, her blue eyes flashed with eagerness.
The awards ceremony went on, and the next few awards were either country or jazz, none of which had anything to do with Angela, and the girl was happy to relax, whispering to Liv, and covering her mouth when she was happy. chuckle.
Soon, the last item in the general category—Best Single—will begin to be awarded, and there will be more murmurs in the hall, obviously looking forward to this award.
Angela clenched her fists involuntarily. Will there be a trophy as consolation or nothing? Will the jury wind up again? All of a sudden, my breathing was a little short.
"Angie, I believe you will win this time!" Liv began to speak her prophecy again.
"Of course, of course, I also believe it." Although the girl nodded again and again, she was not at ease. As the two hosts read the list, the avatars of the nominated characters appeared on the big screen one after another. One of them was the best album Ceil Serrel who stole the best album from Angela before!
This black singer is not simple. Some people say that you can't hear a trace of the impetuousness and vulgarity of the industrial society in Seale's voice. What you hear is that he uses his beautiful deep voice to slowly express his life and love. Comprehension and helplessness, even if he has been disfigured, since he cannot stop his love for music, he is one of the most popular male singers in the UK.
This time, he was nominated for last year's "Batman Forever"—yes, that's right, the one with Val Kilmer and Nicole—singing the theme song: "Kiss Froma Rose"! The slightly hoarse and rich voice interprets this song with a lot of styles - soul music, folk, rock, dance, etc. to the fullest! Even when Angela watched this movie in her previous life, she couldn't help listening to this song over and over again. It can be said that this is a very strong opponent!
But the girl is confident that she is doing well! While "if you feel my love" wasn't nominated—a song that was a hit in the US for its wonderfully Chinese vibe, the judges didn't like it—the nomination for "the day you went away" was also quite good, light It's been on the Billboard list for dozens of weeks.
Although the original version of M2M sang quite well, Angela modified some parts and put a lot of effort into the arrangement to make the song even more appealing, and in the performance, compared to M2M The softness of her voice, hers are more brittle, and the fact that she doesn't need the cooperation of others makes "the day you went away" at least a notch higher! .
The best single is a contest between two songs, the type of words and the interpretation of the singer, the popularity, etc. "Kiss Froma Rose" is backed by "Batman Forever", but Angela herself is big enough Appeal! All in all, it depends on how the judges get winded.
"It looks like it, the situation is very clear!" The beautiful blonde who opened the envelope said with a smile and looked at the big screen. Among the candidates, Seale seemed to have won several awards before. It was very relaxed, and Angela kept a calm smile no matter what because of her tutoring, while the others all showed nervous expressions. A member of a rock band even ignored the camera and bit the index finger of her right hand. Unwilling to move.
"Congratulations to our talented girl, Miss Angela Mason!" With the announcement of the girl, the big screen was completely occupied by the girl's camera, and the surprise on her face was clearly visible even if it was only slightly revealed.
In the applause, the girl stood up, hugged Liv a little excitedly, touched her face, shook hands with Liv's mother and Sparrow beside her, and then walked away with the corners of her skirt. Down, came to the stage.
"Congratulations, Angela." The girl smiled and handed the golden gramophone to her hand.
"Thank you, Madonna." Angela nodded with a smile, "It's an honor to receive this trophy from you."
"Do you have to call me that?" Madonna pretended to be displeased, but then she showed an ambiguous smile, which made the girl alert, but she doesn't seem to be able to do anything now, so she can only look at the other party generously He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
This bisexual guy... Although she was a little annoyed, she didn't show it, she nodded to Madonna with a smile, and then raised the trophy in the face of the scene: "Thank you very much for the jury to award this award to me, you know I've been nominated for best single every year since my first Grammys, but not every year, I always thought the judges were just trying to have fun, but now I'm wrong !"
The scene was full of laughter.
"Then, I want to say that although I won this award, it does not mean that I am the best. There is no best in this world. Someone may surpass you at any time, so I will be even better, thank you!"
In the thunderous applause, the girl bowed her body and was about to leave, but then she remembered something, and added to the microphone: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to say to someone, if she is still there now. watching on TV."
Everyone was stunned, and then Angela raised the trophy to the camera, as if prophesying and announcing: "If music is your dream, then take big strides to your dream, always. One day, you will be standing here too!"
