Chapter 1102: Accidental Capture
The 37th annual Grammy Awards started on time, and this year's gala kicked off with a baby-faced performance.
Known as the "Father of Rhythm and Blues", Babyface is one of the most successful Rhythm & Blues singers in the history of American music, not only enjoying great glory himself, but also taking the Grammys by storming the Grammys last year with Donnie Blesson, which he unearthed and made himself. In addition, he can be seen in the albums of top singers such as Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Madonna, etc. The boy-boy group who competed with glory to death in the music market last year can also see the baby-faced name on their album.
This year's Grammys, Babyface relied on the 1993 album "Just Because You're Too Cool (for. the。 cool。 in。 You)" received four nominations.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly more appropriate for the babyface to be the opening guest. This time, Babyface brought his disciple Donnie Breston to the opening show, and the catchy rhythm and blues made the evening party start with a cheer.
However, compared to the baby-faced performance, the members of Glory to Death are obviously not paying attention, and Hugo is looking at the position of the sound engineer at this time, and he even thinks about what he should do if the microphone is cut off.
In fact, today Fokine secretly brought a megaphone over and hid it in Neil's guitar case, and they also considered that even if the lights and microphones were cut off, Hugo could completely rely on his own ability to sing live. While the volume doesn't have a wide range of coverage, it's not a problem at all for glorious deaths who are used to performing on the streets with rudimentary equipment.
Of course, if the live signal is cut off, then they are helpless. Therefore, although Hugo was looking at the sound engineer, his mind was thinking about the situation in the broadcast studio, and he wondered if Henry had found a solution. Joseph and Rick also said they would come over to help today, but Hugo hadn't seen the two men since he left home, so he didn't know where they were.
Not only Hugo, but the other four members of Glory to Death are obviously also thinking about themselves at the moment, and their attention is not on the stage.
Although Glory to Death did not care about the progress of the award ceremony, the other guests and the audience present were engrossed in the presentation of the awards. The first award of the 37th Grammy was given to Cher Crowe, who achieved a remarkable result in 1994. crow)。
Cher had a rough musical career, she moved to Los Angeles at the age of 24 to concentrate on her music career, and soon after became a backup singer for the Michael Jackson World Tour at the peak of her career, and some gossip even suggested that she was Michael's secret lover.
But after the tour, Cher found herself in a dilemma, her musical philosophy was completely different from the companies that wanted to sign her, which wanted to package her as a dance singer, but she wanted to be a rock singer even more. It was only after many years of going round and round that she was ready to give up, and in 1993, when she was thirty-one, she was given the opportunity to release an album.
"Tuesday Night Music Club (Tuesday Day. night。 music。 Club)" was a cult hit this past summer of 1994, replicating Donnie's miracle in 1993. In the end, the album sold 4 million at the end of the year, which also made Cher the most shining newcomer in one fell swoop.
Unlike Donny's rhythm and blues style, Cher takes the route of folk rock, country rock and pop rock, and she also generously admitted in an interview that she was inspired by the band Glory to Death, Nine Inch Spikes, and Pumpkin Band to try to integrate different musical elements into rock and roll to form her own style. While Cher's music can't be defined as neo-metal rock, she's also part of a musical revolution.
But at the Grammys, Cher was divided into the pop department instead of the rock department, which is a real irony.
Either way, though, Cher won the first award for Best Female Pop Singer over Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Bonnie Ritter. Raitt) four strong competitors who stood out and won their first Grammy Gold Disc Trophy, which is definitely a feat.
When Xue'er came to the stage to accept the award, she almost couldn't cry, except for "thank you", she couldn't express her inner emotion and sorrow at all. Only after truly experiencing the hardships and torments along the way can you feel the weight of this Grammy trophy.
The subsequent award for Best Male Pop Vocalist was won by Elton John, who sang for "The Lion King" for the interlude "Love Unlimited Tonight (. you。 feel。 the。 love。 tonight)" is popular all over the world, but unfortunately it is not on the year-end singles sales chart because it has not been released, but the brilliance of the radio on-demand rate is enough to witness the popularity of this single.
The foursome won the best pop band group with the evocative "I Swear," which debuted in the second quarter of 1994 and "Don't." look。 ba。 Anger)" was a tough battle, and it also witnessed the strong rise of the two bands of Four in One and Glory to Death.
The process of the awards ceremony was as smooth as ever, there were surprises but no surprises, but it is undeniable that the Grammys are indeed the most authoritative music awards ceremony in the world, and it is the greatest affirmation to be able to win the nomination, musicians from all over the world gathered together, especially local singers in the United States, almost all the outstanding singers who can be mentioned in 1994 appeared at the awards ceremony, and the whole scene was lively. Moreover, due to the musical attributes of the Grammys, the cabaret performances run through the audience, and it is obviously much more lively and hot than the Oscars.
"It's almost time for our show, isn't it?" Neil leaned over and whispered to Hugo. Glory to Death The other members have not participated in the award ceremony, and they still don't understand the direction of the process.
"Don't worry, a quarter of an hour before the performance, a staff member will come to remind us of our ......" Hugo's words had not yet fallen, when he saw a staff member come over and whisper to Alfonso, who was sitting on the outermost side. Hugo and Neil also involuntarily turned their heads to look over.
Immediately, Alfonso nodded to his teammates, his eyes glittering with excitement clearly expressing that it was time to perform!
Pedro was the most anxious, and he couldn't bear to stand up directly, but fortunately Alfonso directly grabbed Pedro, and then whispered, "This award is finished......" At this time, the award is being presented on the stage, and it is very rude to walk around, at least when the award presenters announce the answer, and after the winners walk on the stage, everyone turns their eyes to the stage, and then they leave quietly.
Although Pedro was forced to sit back in his seat, he still looked excited, like a good person, he turned his head and said to Foquin, Neil and Hugo, "Wait for the award to be finished, wait for the award to be finished...... But before he finished speaking, Fokine turned his head with a slight frown, and squeezed out two people from between his teeth in a low voice, "Calm down!" Pedro smirked, but he was honest.
At this time, Whitney Houston, the guest of honor on the stage, smiled, opened the envelope in his hand, and then said, "The final winner is ......" The list of winners seems to have been announced, but the five members of the glory to death are a little absent-minded, they don't listen carefully at all, and they all look ready to go.
After Whitney announced the winners, there was a moment of silence, then a whistle sounded, followed by sparse applause, and in the blink of an eye, the entire audience gave a standing ovation, and the thunderous applause of the audience instantly converged and echoed throughout the sacred auditorium.
The members of the glory to death were no exception, standing ovation, Pedro jumped up directly, but his attention was not on the stage at all, he applauded while arching Alfonso with his shoulder, signaling to let him out, but Alfonso moved a little slower, Pedro couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't wait to step past Alfonso, walked directly to the center of the aisle, and shouted to his teammates, "Hurry, hurry, let's go!" ”
looked at Pedro, who couldn't wait, and then, Alfonso and Foquin also walked out. Neil and Hugo's seats were in the innermost part, and it was more troublesome to get out, so it was a step slower.
When the five of them were standing in the aisle, they clapped and walked backwards, ready to quietly leave the audience's sight and go backstage, but the staff member who came to lead them stopped the members, causing Pedro and Alfonso, who were standing at the front, to look up at the staff in confusion.
Fujin straightened his waist impatiently, "Go ahead!" ”
The staff looked at the band members with a surprised expression and pointed to the stage, Pedro and the others subconsciously looked back at the stage, and then they were stunned. Hugo and Neil walked at the back, still applauding earnestly, but found that the people in front of them had stopped, and the two of them looked up in confusion, only to see Pedro paying attention to the big screen with an exaggerated face.
Hugo looked left and right a little, and found that almost the entire audience was watching them, Hugo realized that he seemed to have missed something, but he couldn't catch it, because all his mind was about the next performance, because he had to sing the classic repertoire of Nirvana, and the rehearsal time was not enough, which made Hugo a little stressed.
In the previous life, the Nirvana Band was an unattainable existence for Hugo, an object of worship and longing; But this time, he had the opportunity to pay tribute to the band Nirvana in his own way. This made Hugo's inner tension start to roll, and he felt that he felt a little like throwing up.
But at this time, Hugo didn't have time to think more, he followed Fokine's line of sight and turned his head to look at the big screen, and then saw the figure of the five of them sneakily preparing to leave on the big screen, and the background words were, "Best Rock Song Award, 'Good Day', Hugo Lancaster!" ”
This may seem wrong! Hugo's brain was stunned, and he reacted half a beat slowly, which is indeed wrong! Because it looks like ...... They...... Won?
