The comeback of 700 pearls

The 36th Grammy Awards has officially come to an end, and Whitney and Houston are undoubtedly the biggest winners, and among the four major overall awards, the best album of the year and the best production of the year all belong to the diva in her heyday, "I will always love you (1. will。 always。 love。 You)" is the theme song from Yeying's "Bodyguard", which made Whitney's top moment.

And Donnie Breston has become the biggest winner among the new singers, and the trophy of the best newcomer of the year is not only the best award, but also she has also won two important trophies for best pop album and best female rhythm and blues singer, and she was proudly born.

The last single of the year in the four major awards was also the theme song of "Aladdin", "A New World (A. whole。 new。 world)" off. In the rock department, Mitt Laufer, Aerosmith, and Sting shared the major awards, and the award for Best Alternative Music Album went to U2.

This year's Grammy Awards ceremony undoubtedly created a lot of topics, Mariah Carey and Whitney - Houston's diva duel ended in the latter's comprehensive victory, which also means that in the Grammys, Maria still has not been able to get the corresponding recognition, this time the album "Music Box" was not well received, which is undoubtedly a huge regret, and Maria also witnessed the ascent of her biggest rival Whitney, full of meaningful taste.

And Glory to Death, which has created the highest topical effect in the past three months, also continues the cup of Nirvana Band back then, which also pushes the Grammys directly to the forefront.

Glory to death in the competition for the best newcomer of the year, lost to Donnie, who has won the love of countless listeners with her pop, rhythm and blues style; And in the competition for the Best Alternative Music Album Award, it actually lost to the U2 band, which is completely in the mainstream in the rock music scene, which is really laughable.

Glory to death was not only considered a huge regret for the 36th Grammys, but also directly led to the media lashing out at the Grammys, which is why the Chicago Tribune's association was so hotly debated.

"Rotation" magazine believes that the Grammys' neglect of glory to death is not only a regret of missing pearls, but also an inaccurate grasp of the pulse of the entire l993 music scene.

"The thirty-sixth Grammy was a feast of failure." This is the frontispiece of the magazine "Rotation", which clearly expresses their disappointment, sharp and direct.

"Among the four major awards, Whitney-Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' and 'Aladdin's 'A New World' are both works at the end of 1992, but because of the time constraints of the Grammys, they missed the 35th Grammys last year and came to the 36th for selection, which can definitely be considered a wrong decision to miss the grand occasion of the whole year of l993. While Donnie Blesson is good enough for Newcomer of the Year, she doesn't represent the musical pulse of l993, which is a fatal mistake for the Grammys, who have always prided themselves on authority.

Looking back at the music market in l993, the emergence of pop, rhythm and blues, and hip-hop was not the trend of American music, and the resurgence of rock and roll was an important symbol of this whole year. The emergence of rock bands recreates the trend of the golden age of rock 'n' roll in the seventies.

The American rock forces led by glory to death and the British rock forces led by goatskin music have joined forces to form a new generation of rock forces, which has formed a fierce impact on the traditional rock market; The Mesozoic rock forces, led by Nirvana and Pearl Sauce, have still maintained their strength since l991, pushing grunge rock to the peak; Aerosmith and U2 continue to produce an absolutely commendable masterpiece that further cemented the rock tradition that continued in the '80s.

With the joint efforts of these rock bands, the revival momentum of rock and roll continued from December l992 to December l993, which was the main theme of the whole l993 year, and the revival momentum of rock music could be felt almost every month, every week, and every day, and reached its peak at the end of the year when it was launched 'almost famous', so that the whole world sang the rock melody again, and returned to the era when everyone went crazy together.

Whether it is album sales or the on-demand rate of Yetai; Whether it is the frequency of the band's appearance, or the height of the song; Whether it is the strength of the market impact or the depth of cultural influence...... Rock 'n' roll was at its peak in 1993! This is the symbol that belongs to 1993, the brand that belongs to l993!

But the self-proclaimed Grammys have completely ignored rock and roll, with three of the four awards going to songs released in 1992, and the last remaining Best Newcomer of the Year also ignores the influence of rock - even if three of the nominations belong to rock bands, it can definitely be called the choice of the Grammys to be behind the times, behind the market, and behind the masses.

The Glory to Death band's 'near-fame' is slightly less complete, but 'lithium' and 'don't be upset about the past' (don, t. look。 ba。 Anger), both undoubtedly met the Grammy's aesthetic standards, and even exceeded them, and in the whole of 1993, in the whole history of music, both songs reached a whole new level, but they did not receive any corresponding recognition on the Grammys, which is definitely a result that makes people scoff.

The Best Newcomer of the Year award should belong to the Best Alternative Music Album Award to Glory to Death and the award to Glory to Death, the two awards made the Grammys completely lose their authority, and even lose their grasp of the pulse of music development, which is undoubtedly a mistake by the Grammys, or even a step backwards.

Glory to death did not get the recognition they deserved, which would be the biggest mistake in Grammy history, and it only took five years for history to prove it. ”

"Rotation" magazine fiercely criticized the list of Grammy winners, and even criticized the four major awards as worthless, violently screaming for glory to death, which obviously shows the love and support won by glory to death in the field of independent music.

Not only the "rotation", but even the "alternative choice" that has always been unwilling to see glory to death is on the side of glory to death this time, but they are not supporting glory to death but supporting the rock represented by glory to death, or more accurately: underground music, real yàn music.

The rhetoric of "Alternative Choice" is more radical, and headlines like "Shoot the Grammys" accurately express their outrage.

"After fifteen years of anticipation, rock 'n' roll has regained its original glory, but the Grammys have foolishly chosen to ignore it, which only makes their awards look more commercial, worse and disgusting.

In 1993, the total sales of rock albums accounted for 26% of the market share, ranking first among all music genres; In 1993, the emergence of new rock bands reached the highest level in the past decade, and set off revolution after revolution. Tide of Life; In l993, the on-demand rate of rock music in Yetai broke the monopoly of country music in the past ten years, ranking ...... ・

All of this can clearly see the resurgence of the golden age of rock music in the past year, but it is this kind of rock music that has gone home empty-handed in the four Grammy awards. Although we should not have had hope for the commercially stinking Grammys in the first place, this is undoubtedly a kind of revenge on rock and roll by the mainstream media and the mainstream music market, a shameful, cheap, disgusting revenge!

When Nirvana came out in 1991, they were cheered by the market but ignored by the Grammys; When Pearl Sauce created the Zào miracle in 1992, they were recognized by the market, but they were still ignored by the Grammys; When Glory to Death set off controversy again in 1993, they were sought after by the market, but they were still ignored by the Grammys.

After entering the 90s, the recovery momentum of rock 'n' roll has been stronger and stronger year by year, but the Grammys have always been reluctant to pay enough attention, and are only willing to focus on the traditional rock of the 80s such as U2, Sting, and Aerosmith, which is undoubtedly sad, and perhaps only when the Grammys realize that the decline of Guns N' Roll and Roses is not accidental but inevitable, they can really pay attention to the change of rock 'n' roll.

But before the Grammys wake up, they should eat a gun. The award for Best Alternative Music Album belongs to the band U2? Joke! Newcomer of the Year belongs to Donnie Breston? Joke! Best Rock Band Belongs to Aerosmith? Joke!

Perhaps, the only right choice for the Grammys was the award for Best Rock Album, which Mitter Rauver won. But the funny thing is, shouldn't 'Hellbat 2: Back to Hell' win Best Alternative Music Album?

The ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous Grammys, don't pay attention!"

Although the fiercely worded comments of "Alternative Choice" did not directly speak for Glory to Death, they actually supported Glory to Death in and out of their words, including expressing strong dissatisfaction with the winner of the Best Newcomer of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album Award.

Maybe the "alternative option" still doesn't look like glory to death, but they don't allow commercial awards shows like the Grammys to insult rock in any way. They have always been very clear about the difference between internal struggles and external contradictions.

Needless to say, the glory to die in the 36th Grammy empty-handed, it has become the biggest regret, countless media are fighting for Hugo, in this case, the hospital affair broke out, and the "Chicago Tribune" added fuel to the fire, which suddenly made the "glory to death miss the Grammy ......" incident burst out with greater energy.

However, the New York Post's report, although cunning and clever, still has holes; Although the National Enquirer's report was sharp and exciting, the loopholes were obvious; The Chicago Tribune's report, while direct and forceful, simply does not hold water. Therefore, the media that are willing to defend Hugo can find the point of borrowing and the flashpoint, and the media that are willing to expose the real situation of the hospital that day is definitely no longer a few. This time, the "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times" and other newspapers did not appear in the hospital for the first time, so the first to carry the banner of supporting Hugo were the "American Weekly", which made a living from gossip news, and the professional music magazine "Q Magazine" from the United Kingdom.
