People have imagined countless versions of the 39th Grammy finale, but no one can predict that this person will appear on the scene in person to announce the best album of the year award for everyone.
When the audience saw the figure on the stage, it was almost clear that everyone on the scene was taking a breath, and then everyone hurriedly stood up, welcoming the appearance of the award-presenting guests with the warmest applause. I originally thought that when Michael Jackson appeared, the frenzy on the scene was incredible, but now, the applause of the audience overwhelmed the momentum of Michael's appearance-even Michael who was standing in the background took off his sunglasses and respectfully agitated Hands.
There was no other sound in the audience, no cheers, screams or whistles, just applause. The pure applause made the entire Staples Stadium appear solemn and solemn. The powerful momentum and high respect made this stage look like this. Special and unique. Because, the person who appeared on the stage at this time was Ray Charles!
At this moment, people realized that Grammy was in the next big game. The biggest single of the year in suspense was awarded first, and I didn't worry about the ratings issue at all. That's because the next Michael Jackson and Ray Charles are incalculable for the pop music world.
Ray Charles, this name is the supreme honor for the American music industry. He can be called the most shining symbol in the history of American music and American culture after Frank Sinatra. In the list of the 100 greatest artists in the 100 years selected by "Rolling Stone", he is second only to Aretha Franklin (aretha.), ranking second on the list.
He has dabbled in rhythm and blues, soul, blues, pop, country, rock and other music, and has left an indelible mark in the history of music development, starting from "Elvis Presley" , B. b. . Steve Wander, The Rolling Stones, to the present Alicia Keys (keys), Nora Jones (.), Justin Timberlake, and countless singers including Michael are all on the music road. More or less affected by him. In fact, as early as 1987, Ray had already won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and he was one of the first people in history to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The black singer's influence on American music is everywhere.
In 2004, a biographical film "The King of Soul Singer (Ray that recorded Ray’s music career can give a glimpse of his legendary life. Even after winning the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1987, Ray has won the Grammys many times. affim.
Because Lei was blind at the age of seven, he would rarely attend occasions like the award ceremony if it was not necessary. But today, after Michael, Lei was also invited to the award ceremony by the Grammys. This finale is becoming It is getting more and more exciting, and the pace of history is clearly audible.
Almost everyone in the music industry present has grown up under the influence of Lei’s music, and Lei’s figure is everywhere in the development of modern music, including Michael, including the members of the glory to the death. , Including the other four nominees for the Best Album of the Year Award, were more or less affected by Ray.
Therefore, when Lei appeared on the scene, everyone stood up without exception, using the simplest applause to convey the hottest emotions in their hearts.
"Mary, thank you for your company." Ray said, standing in front of the microphone, smiling.
Tonight, it is Mary Blige who is supporting Ray on the stage. She is also the hottest representative of black rhythm and blues female singers in the entire market. It is different from Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Donnie. Breston and others are popular and integrate rhythm and blues styles. Mary is the first person to integrate rhythm and blues with hip-hop, which broadens the diversification of music styles, and is even known as Ai Rui Shah Franklin's successor.
Hearing Lei's thanks, Mary didn't say much, just smiled and nodded, then stepped aside, leaving space for Lei.
Lei "looked" at the turbulent audience in front of him, adjusted his sunglasses a little, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the heat of the light in front of him. After chatting for a while, he was obviously preparing for a new album, and tonight he also felt a lot of new changes; Luther just took the stage to accept the award, and we had a brief conversation; by the way, Paul also mentioned today The lively scene of the night scene...This is a good thing. I need such a moment to remind me that this industry is still vigorous and vigorous. I need to work hard so that I will not be eliminated by the times."
As a veteran of the American music scene, Ray has been active on the stage for half a century. Senior big names such as Steve Wander, Luther Van der Russ, and Paul McCartney have good friendships with him. Saying a name can make the American music scene shake three times, but Lei's words are full of the ease and comfort of life. This is a foundation that only time can settle.
"Before leaving for tonight's awards ceremony, I listened to the five nominated albums. To be honest, I think I should retire. Now the outstanding performance of young people puts me under a lot of pressure." Lei's humorous teasing made There was a chuckle at the scene, "But, besides music, I don't know what else I can do, so maybe I will try to walk into the studio again, hope I am not that far away from 1997. "
"I know that tonight is not my time, but even so, at this moment, standing on the stage of Staples Stadium, I still feel very honored to be a part of this historical moment. Who knows, Maybe we are all here to create a new history together tonight." Lei's relaxed words did not deliberately ridicule, but everyone on the scene couldn't help but smile.
Looking at Lei standing on the stage, this old man who has been in the American music scene for half a century, his position in the American music hall is irreplaceable. His appearance at the awards ceremony tonight is already a history in itself. Up. Then, the winner who took over the phonograph trophy from him is bound to go down in history. Tonight’s Grammys may really be a sleepless night.
Lei took a deep breath, "Very well, the moment that belongs to me is over, the next time should be the moment to announce the award, let's take a look at the nominees."
History is unveiling the veil of mystery step by step, so who will be the one who will take over the last phonograph trophy from Lei tonight? Mariah Carey or Celine Dion, or Baker to the death of glory, or a refugee?
The information of the five nominees began to be broadcast again on the big screen, and everyone in the audience focused their attention on the five nominees. The glory that had just received the Best Production of the Year award remained in the background. Michael stood by their side, and other colleagues gathered around the big screen, waiting for the results to be announced.
The air began to solidify gradually, and the gripping tightness made everyone unable to move. They were completely fixed in their positions, and the muscles were so rigid that it became impossible to move a finger. Even bystanders are like this, let alone the parties?
Maria has completely turned into a corpse at this time, and all the blood in her body rushes towards the brain, leaving her unable to react in any way. Even though she has withstood multiple blows and retreats under the strength of glory to death, Maria still holds a glimmer of hope-it has never been easy to achieve a sweep in Grammys, this is also Michael at the beginning. Creating a single eighth prize is called a miracle. It is already difficult to get five phonographs in a single session, let alone eight.
Now, glory to death has won seven trophies, so in the album of the year award, the chances of the other four nominees are greater than glory to death-including the refugee’s "target". Maria only hopes—the faint hope—that the winner will be herself.
This little flame of hope made Maria's cheeks become rosy again, with an abnormal blush, but her eyes stiffly lost all their brilliance, just like the gray bead of a zombie.
Not only Maria, but even the members of the glory to death are inevitably nervous, including Hugo.
Even if Hugo's mentality is relaxed again, the depressive atmosphere of the audience still makes his hair stand up, not to mention that they have gone so far tonight. The moment of making history seems to be within reach. That unbelievable crazy idea is like a meteor shower, ramming in unreasonably, filling every corner of the brain, making people unable to resist. The adrenaline bursts out in the blood like this, making all muscles Stiffened Hugo tried to take a deep breath, but found that the surrounding oxygen was too thin. The air he breathed into his lungs was as hot as water vapor, making his hot lungs almost explode. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, his sweaty palms made him unable to focus at all.
The waiting process is the most tormented. Hugo only hopes that the result will be announced quickly. Whether the result is good or bad, it is a relief. Whether it is sad or happy, at least both feet can land and no longer float in the air. Now, I don't know where I will drift.
In the suffocating heat, Lei opened the envelope in his hand, and he chuckled into the microphone and said, "Thank you Grammy for specially designing this envelope for me, so that I can directly announce the answer." Obviously, the envelope. The card in it is written in Braille, allowing Ray to take on the important task of awarding the awards alone.
Sure enough, Lei took out the card, touched it lightly, and then slightly tapped his chin, "Oh, it turns out that this is this one. I personally like it very much. Therefore, I can award this award. It is indeed My honour." Ray touched the braille on the card again and again, and then said, "The 39th Grammy, the winner of the best album of the year is..."
Quiet, quiet, suffocating, quiet almost exploding.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
