The first half of the awards ceremony ended in a slightly eerie atmosphere, and Neil Young, who was still young, was not able to set off again*, and it seemed that everyone's enthusiasm and energy had been exhausted, which made the atmosphere of the ceremony a little cold.

At the same time, the intermission period was even more lively for the reporters, almost everyone was discussing the glorious and deathly performance, and they were all thinking about how to write tomorrow's news headline, how to highlight tonight's shock, how to detonate this news, and more importantly, what angle should they choose, and what will the Grammy official say?

Although I don't know the reason, Glory to Death did not perform the songs he was nominated for, but performed two unreleased tracks from the "Bathing in the Morning Light" album, and performed the most classic "Youthful Heart" of the Nirvana Band; Not to mention the chaos of the sound engineer and lighting engineer, the reporters all saw it. So they know that there must be something in this, so how should they report it?

A short intermission adjustment time, but a new round of storms is quietly brewing, and perhaps this is the most exciting part of this hurricane, the madness of the hurricane is a thing of the past, and now they have to face the chaos left by the hurricane.

At the start of the second half, the Grammys had clearly returned to order, and no matter what had just happened, at least tonight's awards ceremony had to end on a smooth note, and everything else could wait.

The awards continued, and in the Rhythm & Blues category, Babyface became the biggest winner, winning Best Male Rhythm & Blues Vocalist, while his disciple Donnie Breston won Best Female Singer in Blues, Best Rhythm & Blues was won by Babyface's boy-boy group, Best Rhythm & Blues was Boy-Men's "Two Boys, Two Men", and Best Rhythm & Blues Song was Boy-Men's "I'll Be Warm with You" - this song was written by Babyface.

It can be said that Babyface alone dominates the entire rhythm and blues department, and the momentum is terrifying. The boy-boy group that fought fiercely against glory to death relied on the album "Two Boys, Two Men" to rise to become one of the most popular groups in the United States today.

The award for Best Alternative Music Album didn't blow up this year, and the Grammys didn't repeat the mistake of awarding the alternative award to a mainstream singer last year, and Green Day won the award with the album "Scum". It's just that Billy Joe's acceptance speech certainly won't make the Grammys like, "Hugo, you are my man, the man I admire the most!" Glory unto death! Then Billy Joe made a rock 'n' roll gesture and then stepped down.

I'm afraid that the faces of those high-level leaders are frighteningly green at this time.

Immediately afterwards, other awards in the rock department were also announced, and the best female rock singer was won by Melissa Iseliki (Melissa), who finally won wide popularity after six years of debut. Etheridge, the female rock singer with pop rock and country rock as the main style is one of the few outstanding female rock singers in the history of American rock, and she also publicly expressed her homosexuality at the presidential inauguration ceremony in 1992, and has become a role model after suffering from breast cancer, which is a rare exception in the mainstream music market.

Best Male Rock Vocalist went to Bruce Springsteen without any suspense, and he defeated his formidable rival Neil Young to win the title with the classic "Main Street of Philadelphia" from the "Philadelphia Story" movie soundtrack.

Interestingly, the winner of the Best Rock Band was Aerosmith, a result that made many people smile. It's not that Aerosmith wasn't good enough, their 1993 release of "Self-Restraint" is widely regarded as the last classic album of the pop metal era, that is, the last glory of traditional rock under the impact of grunge.

But the problem is that the album "Self-Restraint" was released in April 1993, twenty-three months ago, and now the Grammys are presenting the award to Aerosmith — they've only released one compilation in the past year, which is kind of funny.

Even more interestingly, the other four bands competing against Spaceship Smith are Nirvana, Pearl Sauce, Green Sun, and Glory to Death. Two grunge bands, two emerging rock bands – the former is a punk revival, the latter is a neo-metal rock icon.

How can it be that Aerosmith, who retains the last glory of traditional rock 'n' roll, stands out against four bands that dominated the nineties, and relies on an album released twenty-three months ago?

Just when everyone thought that this year's Grammys were going to end on a conservative note, the Grammys surprised again, and the award for Best Hard Rock Performance was finally awarded to the Garden of Sound, which became another feat of the 37th Grammys: it was the first gramophone trophy for grunge on the Grammys!

Following the unprecedented award for Best Rock Song to Glory to the Death, the Garden of Sound also represents the first time that "The Seattle Sound" has reached the top of the Grammys. However, if you look at the list of nominees for this award, the sense of historical significance is weakened a lot, and Alice Prisoners, Green Sun, Pearl Sauce, and Glory to Death become contenders for the Garden of Sound. The Grammys simply chose between the grunge and the neo-rock, and they chose the former.

Is this conservative?

However, Sound Garden also went on to win the award for Best Metal Rock, beating two indie rock bands, Anthrax & Publiemy and Rollins. band）； and two heavy metal bands, Megadeth and Pandora, were the first to get their second phonograph of the night. From this point of view, it is also a breakthrough for the Grammys.

There's a reason why the Grammys chose to commend Sound Garden over Alice Prisoner and Pearl Sauce. From a historical point of view, the sound garden created grunge rock far earlier than the Nirvana band, before Kurt Cobain created the Nirvana band, the sound garden has launched two grunge EP in the underground music circle, although the Nirvana band really sang the grunge rock, but in terms of absolute strength, the sound garden is definitely not inferior to the Nirvana band, and in terms of live performance skills, the sound garden is slightly better.

Therefore, it is not without roots that Sound Garden can be the beneficiary of this change at the Grammys.

From the distribution of these awards, it can be seen that the Grammys are indeed interested in keeping up with the trend, they invited bands such as Glory to Death and Pearl Sauce to come to the awards ceremony, and they also presented awards to Glory to Death and Sound Garden; But on the other hand, the Grammys are always worried that they are too different, that they are moving too fast, and that they are always trying to find a balance, which is why Aerosmith won the best rock band, and of course, the cancellation of the Kurt Cobain memorial and the award of the grunge veteran Sound Garden instead of the pearl sauce that has swept thousands of troops in the past two years.

The subsequent award for Best Rock Album once again broke out as an "upset", pushing the ambivalence of the Grammys further to *.

The award for Best Rock Album was contested by five bands, and Nirvana's "New York Unplugged," which was canonized as the last classic, did not meet the deadline and missed this time the Grammys had to compete for next year, and this time it was "Son" who entered the fray on their behalf. The album "Inside the Palace" received two nominations for Nirvana, but did not include the award for Best Rock Album.

The Rolling Stones' "Voodoo Shop" (voodoo. Lounge)" and Quickblink of Eyeball's "Monster", Pearl Sauce's "Showdown" and Sound Garden's "Superunknown", as well as the glorious to death "Bathing in the Morning Light", these five albums entered the final battle.

Two established rock bands, two grunge bands, and a new metal rock band, which almost replicates the pattern of the top five nominees for the best rock band, but the bands in the group have made some adjustments.

Objectively speaking, the quality of the three albums of Pearl Sauce, Sound Garden and Glory to Death is obviously superior, and the albums of the Rolling Stones and Fast Eyeballs cannot be compared in terms of completion, professional reputation, sales, popularity, and popularity. From this point of view, it is clear that the final prize should be won by the first three bands.

But the ambivalence and hesitation of the Grammys have added variables to this award. However, the Grammy's balance is very clever, traditional rock has won four major awards in the rock department, and the best female rock singer, male singer and band all belong to traditional rock, and the two awards won by Sound Garden are obviously not enough, so in the last award in the rock department, the Grammy played a balance.

But even if it was balanced, it still made the audience in an uproar.

When the voice of the presenter came out of the microphone, "The 37th Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, the winner is, 'Bathe in the Morning Light', Glory to Death", the audience could clearly hear the sound of gasping - not to mention the others, even the five members of the glory to death themselves were startled.

After the performance, the attention of the members of Honor to Death could finally return to the award ceremony, so this time they didn't miss it. Although they led the nomination stage with eight nominations and won the award for Best Rock Song, the members of Glory to Death still watched the ceremony as outsiders — especially after their performance slapped the Grammys hard, and they felt that they could not win the award at all.

However, the accident was born. Glory to Death - Glory to death, who has just completely torn his face with the Grammys, relied on the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" to win the Best Rock Album Award, and while winning the second gramophone tonight, it also made history.

At the scene, I was stunned!
