Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Production of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Best Alternative Album, Best Folk Album.

With the album "Don Quixote" and the single "Cleopatra", Lan Li received six nominations and became the biggest winner of the 54th Grammy nomination stage, even surpassing Adele and Bruno in the limelight, which is definitely an epic level of attention, once again awakening the deep memories of Lian Remus, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys (Alicia-Keys) -

All of these artists have one thing in common: they swept the Grammys the following year with their debut albums, winning multiple trophies and leaving their mark on the history of music, while at the same time, they have become an indelible milestone in the music market and witnessed the vicissitudes and transformations of North American pop music culture by representing their respective artistic styles.

Lean represented the pinnacle of country music at the time, Nora saw the return of jazz, and Alicia's triumph was the beginning of the domination of rhythm and blues. So, what about Lan Li?

At the moment in 2011, among the many sub-departments of the Grammys, there is no classification of "ballads" for a long time, and most of the ballads are classified into the rock department for selection, the main reason is Bob Dylan's integration, understanding, and evolution of folk songs and rock. For example, folk rock.

But this year, the list of Grammys nominees has witnessed not only the rise of Lan Li, but also the full rise of independent ballads.

Bon-Iver, who received a nomination for Newcomer of the Year, was also nominated for Song of the Year, Production of the Year, and Best Alternative Album, he is a typical independent folk style, before the Grammys, this unknown singer, even more strange than Lan Li, his first album of the same name was released for more than half a year, and the sales have not been able to buy "Don Quixote".

Someone once said that Lan Li was the biggest dark horse on the nomination list, but after seeing Bon-Iver's name, they changed their tunes and asked the same question in their minds, "Who?"

The Blessed Sons of London-based indie folk band is another dark horse, with a total of five nominations for Production of the Year, Best Rock Performance, and Best Rock Song. However, the indie folk band is well known in the British music scene and is also popular in North America, at least more widely known than Blue Rite.

In addition, the indie electronic rock band Foster Family also received two nominations.

Although the Grammys don't have a folk category, this year's indie ballads won 17 nominations!

Strictly speaking, even the rock category has been in decline for a long time in the last decade. Whether it is an old band or a strong newcomer, the performance is not outstanding, more often they can only show their strength in their own categories, the four major comprehensive awards are destined to fail, after the millennium, the only rock band that won the four major comprehensive awards is U2 and Magic Red - U2 is the Grammy darling, and Magic Red has won a newcomer of the year.

However, among the nominees for the 54th Grammys, independent folk songs are dominant, not only in the number of nominations, but also in the four major general awards.

In the annual production, Adele's "Falling into the Abyss", Bon-Iver's "Bon-Iver", Bruno's "Grenade", the Blessed Sons "The-Cave", Lan Li's "Cleopatra", and independent folk songs occupy three seats.

In the song of the year, Kanye teamed up with Rihanna's "All-Of-The-Lights", Bruno's "Grenade", Adele's "Falling into the Abyss", Bon-Iver's "Holocene", and Lan Li's "Cleopatra", and the independent ballad still has two positions.

Among the albums of the year, Adele, Bruno, Spitfire, Lan Li, Miss Gaga, and indie folk still have a place.

Needless to say, Newcomer of the Year is still the representative contestant.

Not only that, but these independent folk singers, including Adele, are all from independent record labels, and the traditional five major record companies are all at a disadvantage. Is this a coincidence? Or is it a Grammy reform?

It is not yet known what kind of results the independent folk songs that performed well in the nomination stage will be able to achieve at the awards ceremony? Whether this is just a flash of inspiration from the official Grammys or whether the heart of reform is extremely determined? It is also unknown for the time being, and whether this edition of the Grammys will have no impact on the music market? It is still unknown for the time being.

But there is no doubt that after the list of nominees came out, the albums of Bon-Iver, Blessed Sons, Adele, and Bruno Mars all attracted attention again, which naturally included Lan Li's "Don Quixote".

It is foreseeable that this album will usher in a sales increase next week, and more importantly, this week's "Fighting Cancer" will also be released, and in the short term, the name "Lan Li-Hall" will continue to swipe the screen, which will have an impact on the album and the awards season, whether positive or negative, is really waiting to be seen.

As the questions of reporters during the siege of Kennedy Airport showed: Following the Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Oscars, Lan Li unexpectedly received Emmy nominations as a singer, and it was not a casual nomination, it was a solid and unique six nominations, such an achievement, even for professional singers, it is worth celebrating, not to mention that Lan Li is still an actor?

Unbelievably, Lan Li's prestige has actually risen to a higher level.

"War of the Pacific", "Buried Alive", "Love Is Crazy", "Speed and Excitement 5", ...... Then there was "Don Quixote". Every time is a surprise, just when people think that this is all there is to the surprise, and then the blue ceremony is eye-catching, the speed of rising momentum and the speed of fame accumulation makes people jealous and amazed. So, what about the "cancer-fighting me"?

Roy-Lockley looked at Lan Li in front of him, stunned for a moment, and forced a smile, but the corners of his mouth still involuntarily raised, and his disheveled and embarrassed appearance really made people laugh, "I guess, you have received the news now." Roy pursed the corners of his lips, his expression smiling rather than smiling, looking too funny.

Lan Li had a straight face, completely ignoring the mess on his body, he couldn't stop laughing all the way just now, he was already used to it, Roy was not the first, if he didn't take care of himself, I believe it wouldn't be the last, "Did you forget to tell me something?"

The calm tone carried a hint of playful irony, and the meaning of Lan Li was clearly expressed. Roy quickly retracted the smile between his eyebrows, "I'm sorry, my fault." "There was no quibbling, and I simply admitted my mistake neatly. Because of the time difference, when the Grammy nominations were announced, it was the time before and after Lan Li and them boarded the plane, and Roy had tried to contact them as soon as possible, but-

Lanli is powered off. Nathan's phone was unlucky to get water again. This little time difference has created the current situation.

Behind him, there were whistles from Jennifer, Donald and others, "Baby, do you want to leave a photo as a souvenir?" Such a taunting opportunity, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you will never find it again, so they don't have to worry about the consequences, and the most important thing is to have fun in time.

Lan Li turned his head and smiled politely, but today's smile seemed a little murderous, "If I need to, I'll ask the reporters for it." After all, there are a lot of people here today. Or do you have it on your phone?"

Why do you feel cold in your neck?

Donald was the first to wave his hand, his head like a rattle, "No, of course not." ”

Jennifer slapped the driver on the back, "Drive, drive." I have a bad hunch. ”

Will, who was sitting closest to the door, hurriedly began to close the car door, Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "Need help?"

"No, no, no. Will said incoherently, and Jennifer called even more urgently, "Drive, drive, leave this damn door alone." As soon as she looked up, Jennifer saw Lan Li's polite and decent smile, standing tall as a pine, raising her right hand, waving it gently, as if to say "goodbye", Jennifer exclaimed "Mom", and then Will finally closed the sliding door, and the car left abruptly.

Paul's voice could be heard in the distance, "See you tomorrow...... Lan Li" but it disappeared into the roar of the engine.

Lan Li chuckled, shook his head, and said to Roy and Nathan, "Let's go, I need to take a hot shower and relax." Although he slept the whole time, there was no problem with jet lag, but after the "ravage" just now, he only felt that his muscles were sore, which was much harder than practicing martial arts.

"Lan Li, are you going to attend this Grammy Awards?" Roy asked casually as he followed Lan Li.

"When?" Lan Li really didn't pay much attention to the Grammys, and he had very few memories in his mind.

"Mid-February. ”

Lan Li shrugged, "Then it depends on the progress of the filming of 'Edge of Tomorrow', I'm not sure if the filming will be completed in February." Anyway, I don't think we have officially sent out an invitation yet, right?"

"Hmm. Roy nodded in agreement, "Before you came back, Teddy and I just finished talking. This time, the Grammy nomination caused a huge response, with many radio programs calling to ask if you would like to be on the show to promote it, and there were also many appointments for magazine interviews. ”

Nominations, it's not just nominations, it's a lot of business opportunities. This is true for the Oscars, and so is the Grammys.

This time, Lan Li did not hesitate, "You and Andy confirm the itinerary, this time I only stay in New York for three days, and the itinerary can be matched, then I have no problem." ”

The album "Don Quixote", George Sland and Studio Eleven should still be losing money now, they completed the album according to their own ideas, and now they have the opportunity to integrate their dreams with life, and even achieve profits, so that the dream has a chance to continue, Lan Li has no reason to refuse.
