This is a retro gramophone, with streamlined lines, elegant and quiet gold, with a fake effect, but the overall feel is not heavy, even lighter than expected - compared with the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival; however, The luster and texture shine under the bright light, as if you can see the flowing time ripple in the golden light.
Gently, the gramophone trophy just fell into the palm of the hand, without feeling any sense of reality. Without any preparation at all, he fell into a rut that was caught off guard.
Standing in front of the microphone, Renly was stunned for a moment, as if trying to digest the shock of such an accident, "Official statement, I don't know anything about the contents of the envelope just now."
The subtext is to say: I did not manipulate the results of the prize; further explanation is: Are you sure you did not announce the wrong results
With an understated testimonial, the audience at the scene burst into low chuckles.
Renly raised his head and looked at the dark crowded auditorium in front of him. Different from the round table meeting of the Golden Globe Awards, the Grammys are completely a concert scene. All the seating arrangements, lighting arrangements, and the atmosphere of the scene are all like this. It became more and more incredible.
"Thank you. I mean, thank you." Renly tried to organize his words, but then realized that he was repeating the same words, and he couldn't help closing his eyes and a small smile on the corners of his mouth, "I guess, now There was no laughter, which proved my reaction wasn't too unusual." This time, laughter echoed throughout Staples Field.
Renly shook his head gently, surprise and joy, surprise and excitement, astonishment and excitement, slowly settled down, "Tonight, I thought I was a bystander, but now it seems that I am a participant. ." Renly tugged at the corners of his lips mockingly, "The 'Don Quixote' album has received so much love and support, far more than expected. It's my pleasure, God, the last time I bought it. When it came to folk albums, it was still Bob Dylan."
With this sigh, the audience clapped and laughed, with a double meaning: on the one hand, it was a joke about the accident of winning the award, and on the other hand, it was a joke about the decline of folk songs.
"George Slender, the producer of the album 'Don Quixote' once said: Music that is truly made with heart can always be heard. I think tonight proved that he was right. "Renly finally came back to his senses, and his thoughts became clear. "For Don Quixote, the sad thing is that no one in the world can understand his memory and dedication to chivalry; Say, fortunately, millions of listeners heard the heartbeat in the music."
"So, hopefully, this is the beginning. Someday in the distant future, Bon-Iver, Radiohead, the Fosters, Pretty Girl's Death Taxi, Civil War, Sons of Mumford, they'll all be able to play in their respective Compete in the category the music belongs to, not pile it up for a single best alternative album."
Renly's words, so simple, yet so powerful, finally, he said with a smile, "Because, we are not different."
After speaking, Renly nodded, turned around, and left the stage under the leadership of the master of ceremonies.
It wasn't until Renly's footsteps that he was about to disappear on the stage that the entire audience reacted. In an instant, a tsunami of applause swept through. This acceptance speech is too shocking, but also too deafening.
When the 54th Grammy nominees were officially announced, the industry was exclaiming: the strong rise of independent folk music, especially bands from unknown independent music companies, received above this year's Grammys. Many affirmations. Corresponding to the popular music represented by Adele and Bruno, the year 2011 also ushered in a full-scale explosion of independent folk music.
This is not only the resurgence of folk music, but also the re-emergence of independent music. As Renly said: true music always has a true listener.
In the past ten years, the Grammys have been slimming down, and this year they have cut their awards by nearly one-third, with 109 awards, and finally only 78 remain. This is undoubtedly the result of commercial considerations and broadcast considerations, and all that suffer is independent and unpopular music.
For example, the folk categories, jazz categories, soul categories, etc. have all been reduced by a large number of awards, leaving only one best album award; another example, special music categories such as rock, folk, bluegrass, etc., have all been summarized simply and rudely To the best alternative album award — the problem is, there's only one award in the alternative music department.
The so-called Best Alternative Album Award was originally set up to include all niche, unpopular, and independent music categories. Now it's even worse.
For niche musicians, their living space has almost disappeared. In the past, they could at least win Grammy nominations, build their own, attract more attention, do free publicity, and more or less, nominations can drive sales and attention.
Renly's interview on the red carpet wasn't aimless either.
This year, the rise of the ballad and the slimming of the Grammys stand in stark contrast. Before the awards ceremony, many indie music media were worried. Now, at the awards ceremony, Renly expressed his views directly, using "Don Quixote" as a metaphor for true art lovers.
So, the audience burst into applause!
For Renly, more than joy, more surprises; more than excitement, more surprises; more than gratitude, more aftertastes. As an actor, every win at the Emmy Awards, Sundance, and the Berlin Film Festival brings emotion and excitement; as a singer, the Grammy trophy awakens the way of making the album "Don Quixote" The bits and pieces above.
The first reaction in my mind was not that I won the award; it was George Slender, Herbert Jones, Stanley Charlesson, Neil Tucson, Heather Cross... and even Ed - Sheeran, their persistence and perseverance, finally got a response.
Their dream, through the hands of Renly, became a reality. This kind of feeling is really too special. It is agitated in the chest. The feeling is so full of stuffiness and pain that words can't describe it.
It's been fifteen minutes since I left the stage, left the backstage, and returned to my seat again.
Annie and Alex looked at Renly back and forth, looking for the "lost" trophy. The two even lifted the hem of Renly's suit, which really made Renly laugh and cry, "It's backstage." Renly had to explain.
Andy, Roy, and Nathan were even more surprised than Renly, and the dislocated jaw was estimated to be out of place for a while.
The awards ceremony continued, with awards in the R&B category, much like the country category.
Cee-Lo-Green takes Best Traditional R&B Vocalist, Best R&B Song; British talent e-Bailey-Rae wins Best R&B Performance award; as for the best rhythm album award went to the strong return of Chris-Browns (Chris-Browns).
On the eve of last year's Grammys, Chris Brown had a dispute with his girlfriend Rihanna. Chris had a fistfight and serious domestic violence, which directly led to Rihanna's almost ruin; he was later sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community labor. The bad boy of Vanity Fair has always been the target of public criticism.
A year later, Chris received his first gramophone in his music career with his fourth album.
Shiloh Green is undoubtedly the biggest winner in the rhythm and blues category.
On the other hand, the rap category echoes the rock category. In the nomination stage, Kanye West, who was far ahead with seven nominations, continued to be strong and swept the army, winning all four rap category awards.
Best Rap Performance Award, Kanye's work with rap king Jay-Z won the award; Best Rap Collaboration Award, Kanye's work with Rihanna and Fergie won the award; in addition, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Song Among the two awards for the best rap album, Kanye also had the last laugh.
Obviously, the biggest winner of the nomination stage, Kanye is still the focus of attention at the awards ceremony.
In the subsequent dance music awards, newcomer Skrillex won with a dark horse attitude, defeating strong opponents such as Miss Gaga and David-Guetta (David-Guetta), and won the best dance music production, best electronic Two awards for dance albums are in the bag, plus one for Best Non-Classical Mixed Recording.
As a result, Schreck acquired three phonographs.
From Renly to Shrek, the Grammys are showing their savagery and hard work in honoring newcomers. Perhaps, the future that Renly hoped for in his acceptance speech is coming little by little.
"One Sword"
Finally comes the hottest and most intense pop category: Adele and Bruno are two hits in this category, and out of the four awards, two of them will be in Best Pop Album and Best Pop Artist. The head-to-head confrontation between the departments is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of tonight's awards ceremony.
The first award for best pop group singing was awarded to the song jointly sung by veteran jazz singer Tony Bennett (To) and the late British singer Amy Winehouse; and the best traditional pop album award was also awarded. Acquired by Tony Bennett's album released last year.
Then-
In the Best Pop Singer Award, Adele defeated Miss Gaga, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, and Pink to win the second trophy tonight. Before that, Adele had already won Best Short Music Video.
In the Best Pop Album Award, Adele had the last laugh again and won the third At the same time as a phonograph, he has also become the biggest contender for the four major comprehensive awards tonight.
Adele and Bruno, who also received six nominations, were defeated in a head-to-head match.
It's not that Bruno is not good enough, but that this year's Adele is really too strong, and she almost debuted in a destructive manner. So, what about the final four comprehensive categories of awards
