In many cases, no one can predict when history is created, and often at the moment when the time and place are favorable, history is born with the trend, which cannot be controlled or changed by man. Only when standing in the long river of time and looking back on that moment will it suddenly become clear that this is how history was created, and what is even more surprising is that history was actually created by these people - in many cases, even a group of people who were completely unexpected.

Such was the case with the 37th Grammys.

The awards ceremony continued, and each award found its final winner, except for Babyface's strength in the rhythm and blues department, all other departments showed an average trend, and no one could complete the dominance in their department. In the final awards ceremony, only four major awards have not been awarded, and this will also be the final * of the entire evening*.

The first Newcomer of the Year award continues the fierce competition and mixed pattern of the previous edition, and the five groups nominated this year are Cher Crowe, Green Day, Ace Base, and Crash for Dummies. test。 dummies) and several crows (ting. crows）。

This can't help but remind people of last year, Glory to Death, Blind Melon Band, and Guts Band, three new metal rock bands were shortlisted for the Best Newcomer of the Year, but they all lost to rhythm and blues female singer Donnie Breston in the end.

This time, Acebase is a pop group, Cher Crowe is under the pop banner, and Fool Crash Test and Number Raven are both neo-metal rock bands, and Green Day is the new punk representative - and they are part of the new metal rock wave.

Before the awards ceremony, it was widely believed that the Green Day band should win the award, which is also an answer that can be perfectly explained from a professional point of view and from a point of view of strength. But the Grammys ended up awarding Rookie of the Year to Cher Crowe, recreating the situation of the last Grammys.

Whether Cher is in the pop category or the rock department, there is still no conclusion, but the Grammys awarded her the Newcomer of the Year award, which is really intriguing.

Of course, there is no doubt about the excellence of Cher's debut album, it's just ...... It's just that in 1994, it should belong to the Green Day band. This time, the Green Day Band once again repeated the cup of glory to death.

The subsequent Album of the Year award was another upset, and Tony Bennetton (TO), who debuted for 30 years and achieved countless glories, enough to be compared to Frank Sinatra, actually won with an "MTV unplugged" album, which really made the audience exclaim.

"MTV Unplugged" is actually a live recording album of the program on MTV, strictly speaking, this is a kind of concert album, and it can't even be considered a regular album, but it is precisely this album that beats strong competitors and wins the best album of the year award.

It's not that Tony isn't great enough, it's just that there's clearly a better album on the waitlist.

The other four contenders for the Album of the Year award were "The World's Top Three Tenors 1994 Los Angeles Concert", "From. the。 Cradle), Cair. 1994)" and "Basking in the Morning Light".

"The world's three major tenors 1994 Los Angeles concert" Needless to say, Luciano Pavarotti (Luo. Pavarottti), Placido Domingo (Plaingo), José Carreras (Jose. Carreras), and this time they embarked on a global tour, and the Los Angeles show was undoubtedly one of the most successful, so they released their concert album.

"In Swaddling" is from Eric Clapton, one of the world's top rock guitarists. Clapton), he has been a member of the band Cream, Blind. Faith), Drake and Domino (Derek. and。 the。 Dominos) and others, he was one of the pinnacles of the rock wave at the beginning, and his guitar skills have influenced generations of rock bands, which can be called a legend in the history of rock music. On this album, there is the famous song "Tears. in。 heaven)" to mourn Eric's four-and-a-half-year-old son, who died in an accident.

"Schill 1994" is the second album of British rock singer Shill, who is also a pioneer in the new metal rock wave, combining different styles such as soul, folk, and dance music into rock and roll, and has his own style. On this album, there is a song that has become an enduring classic, "Kiss of the Rose." from。 a。 rose）”。

Finally, there is "Bathing in the Morning Light", the album of glory to death is considered the band's top work, and it is also the real masterpiece of neo-metal rock that will go down in history, the album not only has ten masterpieces, but also a number of widely circulated classics, including a classic "Beautiful Day" (beautiful). day）”。

It can be said that the competition for the Best Album of the Year award is very fierce, and in the end, Tony's "MTV Unplugged" won, which is really a huge upset. Or rather, conservative.

However, the upset continued at the Grammys, and in the race for the Best Single of the Year award, the boys-boy group's "I'll Warm Up with You", Bruce Springsteen's "Philadelphia Street", Bonnie Ritter. Raitt's "Love is quietly approaching (love. sneakin’。 up。 on。 you)" and Cher Crowe's "All I Think. i。 wanna。 do)", a "beautiful day" of glory to death, launched an extremely fierce competition.

Before the awards ceremony, people are most optimistic about the boy-boy group and the glory to death showdown again, which seems to be the hottest confrontation in the second half of 1994, the glory to death and the boy-man combination who has always had the upper hand and has never been discouraged, the battlefield has been extended to the Grammys, which is really exciting.

But the Grammys disappointed everyone, because Cher won the Best Single of the Year award for the song "What I Want" again after Best Newcomer of the Year, broke everyone's glasses, and broke the upset, but also relied on two comprehensive awards and a trophy for Best Female Pop Singer to become the biggest winner tonight.

This is something that no one could have anticipated before the awards began, Glory to Death, Babyface, Donnie Breston, Boys and Men, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Sauce, Green Day, ...... This series created a list of countless brilliant singers in 1994, but it was only stolen by newcomer Cher who only came out last year, continuing the momentum of Donny's Grammys last year. That's really ...... It's too unexpected.

Now, the 37th Grammy is left with only one last award for the best system of the year, which is also the last suspense, but ...... People can't get more hopeful.

The Best of the Year award is usually given last, because it is the most important award for the Grammys, although there are four overall awards, but unlike the most popular people who think that the Best Album of the Year award will be the most important award, the Best Album of the Year award is the most competitive.

It's not because the production is more important than the album as a whole, but because the Best Production Award is the only award in the entire Grammy that is purely awarded to the producer, and this award is awarded to the producer who stands behind the scenes, not the singer, and the nominees participating in the award are songwriters, arrangers, not singers.

This award reflects the most essential hard power of the creator itself, in other words, whether it is the best newcomer of the year, or the best single of the year, or the best album of the year, in fact, the makers are made behind the scenes, and the singers are the interpreters who stand in front of the scenes. Therefore, the best production of the year can be regarded as the culmination of the award, and the competition is particularly fierce every year.

This year's top five finalists are: "What I think", including Cher Crowe; Bruce Springsteen from "Main Street of Philadelphia", Elton John and Tim Rice from "Love Unlimited Tonight". Rice), the maker of "I swear" is Gary Baker (Gary. Baker) and Frank Mayer. j。 Meyers), Hugo Lancaster, creator of "A Beautiful Day".

From this list, it can be seen that the "I Swear" sung by the four in one is a cover track, so the Grammys are rewarding the songwriter, not the foursome, and not the original singer of the song, John Michael Montgomery. On the other hand, musicians who are both good singers and songwriters are always valued, and Cher, Blues, Elton and Hugo, all of whom are creators of their own songs, have also received more appreciation.

Finally, the movie soundtrack has received a lot of attention, "Main Street of Philadelphia" is from the movie "Philadelphia Story", and "Love Unlimited Tonight" is from "The Lion King". In addition, at the end of the year, the song "Shape of the Heart" that has achieved countless successes has been achieved at the end of the year. of。 my。 heart)", you can see the close integration of film and music today. This situation has gradually disappeared since the beginning of the 21st century, and is a typical profile of the decline in the quality of both North American films and American music.

Among the five contenders for the best production of the year, except for "I Swear", which squeezed out the baby-faced "I'll be warm with you" to enter the competition for the award, it is already considered a small underdog, and the competition for the other four songs can be said to be comparable, especially "Love Unlimited Tonight" and "Beautiful Day", which are widely considered to be classics that can shine throughout the 90s.

However, the Grammys have had so many surprises tonight that no one knows what will happen next.

The eventual award presenter, Tony Beneton, tore open the envelope in his hand, glanced at it, then raised an eyebrow in a slightly surprised light, then smiled and said into the microphone, "The winner of the 37th Grammy Awards for Best Production of the Year is, 'Good Day', Hugo Lancaster. ”

Rumble! History was born in this way, no one expected the birth of history, and no one wanted to create history, but unlike all the expected tracks, history was written in this moment: the shocking stage performance from glory to death set off an unprecedented change on the Grammy stage; to the Garden of Sounds on behalf of grunge opening the record on the Grammys; to the Pearl Sauce and Sound Gardens on the Grammy stage; In the end, he unexpectedly won three trophies in succession to glory!

The wave of rock 'n' roll change has unstoppably taken the Grammys by storm, and even if the old Grammys don't want to, they can't stop the pace of history.
