Chapter 570 Grammy upset

Los Angeles time.

2 month 8 number.

The 57th Grammy Awards were held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The day before the awards, Lu Yuan flew over.

Although he was shortlisted for many awards this year, including [Professor of the Year], [Production of the Year], [Best Pop Singer], and [Best Pop Album].

But he didn't come here to win awards.

There is a beginning and an end.

This Grammy will be his last time attending the awards ceremony.

If he wins the award, he will officially announce his withdrawal from the award ceremony during his speech. If he does not win, he will make a speech after the ceremony.

of course.

However, the media was not so optimistic about Sam's sweep of the four major categories.

This year, well-known independent musician Beck Hansen won Album of the Year.

In the past year, the sales of Lu Yuan's "Songs Of The Lost" were so explosive that it once again won the annual sales championship in North America.

Sam also happens to be from England. Such a similar trajectory makes people think of another English female singer.

Global sales of 1480 million copies.

Born in 1992.

"Songs Of The Lost" was released on January 14, 1. So far, sales in North America have exceeded 1 million.

The person receiving the most attention at the Grammys this year is not Lu Yuan, but Sam Smith, a new generation singer from England who was born in the 90s.

He is also the global sales champion.

Many singers can't put together an album like this in their lifetime.

In my memory, this year's Grammys was also an upset.

Adele, who was born in 88, also came out of nowhere that year.

The only shortcoming of "Songs Of The Lost" is probably that it's too scattered.

No matter what the outside world thinks, Lu Yuan takes awards and other things very lightly.

That’s about twice as much as the second-place “Frozen Soundtrack.”

Like the 11 Grammy Awards, Album of the Year was awarded to independent music. In 11, the Canadian independent rock band Arcade Fire won the award.

According to Lu Tianwang, it is called Forgotten Songs. According to the evaluation of external media, it is more like a 'selection album'.

The undisputed first.

Universal Music Group and Grammy officials had notified the news in advance. It was a big news and they had to communicate in advance.

Although the Grammy is not purely based on sales, such a phenomenal hit is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.

In the earlier nomination list, Sam Smith received nominations in four major categories, Special of the Year, Production of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist.

In comparison, Baker Hansen's "Morning Phase" won the award, which is more convincing than Arcade Fire.

Letting Baker win the award should also mean supporting country music.

This album combines elements of country music and rock music, and is indeed an album worth savoring.

In fact, Baik became famous very early. In the 90s, he became famous with the song "Loser". The album "Odelay" released in 96 was selected into the Rolling Stone Music History Top 500 and England's Q Magazine Music History Top 100.

It also won the 36th Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.

eight pm.

The legendary rock band AC/DC set the scene on fire with their explosive song "Rock or Bust".

Unlike last year, after the performance, the host did not hesitate and fast-forwarded directly to the awards ceremony.

"The next award to be awarded is the Best Newcomer Award, and the person responsible for awarding the award is also an acquaintance of everyone."

"He is the super pop star Lu Yuan from the East!"

Amid the applause and screams of the audience, Lu Yuan walked onto the podium holding the envelope.

"I'm so lucky to be able to reveal the first Grammy award of this year."

"If I had to choose, among all the awards, the one I want to win most would definitely be the next one, because if I lose it, I will never have the chance to win it again."

"It's like life." "Are you right, Taylor?"

With that said, Lu Yuan gave Taylor a cue in the audience. In 08, Taylor ran for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, but lost to the English female singer Amy Winehouse.

A short-lived flash in the pan, a female singer ruined by a scumbag and a unique product.

offstage.

Tyler made a funny face, like 'who cares'?
"Haha."

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "I think you must say it again, it doesn't matter, I don't care, just like your new song "Shake It Off"."

offstage.

When he heard the word 'mother', Taylor waved his fist and pretended to hit someone, and he dared to call her old.

As for Lu Yuan, that magical brainwashing song suddenly appeared in his mind, and after thinking about it, he sang it in Chinese.

"Say goodbye to all worries and say hi hi to all happiness..."

"Ahem, that Chinese sentence just now is just like Taylor's new song, let's get rid of all our worries!"

"Ok."

Lu Yuan shrugged: "I think you guys must think I'm too verbose. Next, the nominations for Best Newcomer are as follows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the list of nominees was played on the big screen behind him.

Every time a piece was played, there would be applause from the audience, and when Sam Smith's song was played, the cheers reached a climax.

Among the several young newcomers, Sam's album has the best sales, looks good, and is obviously more famous.

He is also the most vocal candidate.

After the short video was played, Lu Yuan went straight to the prize draw without any further ado.

"Best Newcomer is... oh, a handsome young man, Sam Smith, congratulations to him!"

Next.

On stage.

Receive the award.

Give an acceptance speech.

It was a very routine process. When receiving the award, Sam not only thanked his friends and family as usual, but also thanked Lu Yuan.

In his words, it was Lu Yuan's singing that inspired him and made him bravely take that step.

cough cough.

Yes.

Sam is a lover. Last year he publicly announced his cheating. The song he mentioned was none other than "Not Afraid".

Although the original meaning of the song has nothing to do with it, music is quite subjective.

Then, after a performance, the second major award will be announced.

【Best Pop Singer】

The five candidates are Lu Yuan, Taylor, Australian singer SIA, newcomer Sam Smith, and musician Pharrell Williams.

Pharrell is basically not well-known in China, but in the American industry, his reputation is not small at all. Pharrell composed the soundtracks for "Despicable Me 1 and 2".

Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Madonna, Shakira and other big-name singers have all collaborated with him and is a very well-known producer.

“The winner for Best Pop Vocal Performance is…Pharrell Williams.”

Upon hearing this name, Lu Yuan in the camera smiled and applauded.

This time, his attitude was very calm.

soon.

The award ceremony came to the moment of awarding Album of the Year, and the final winner was the independent musician Beck, just like in the previous life.

but.

Lu Yuan is not in a hurry. There is always a chance to go on stage to receive the award. The next best pop album will definitely not miss it again, right?
