611: Come back, homesick wanderer
Comprehensive category, best newcomer award.
There is no doubt that the popular young singer Justin Bieber and the new hip-hop star Drake both received approval; the British independent band "Mumford and the Sons" were also successfully shortlisted, becoming the "mainstream" Grammys. In addition, female bass singer Espolanza Spalding was also nominated.
The last shortlist was naturally Li Donglai, who rose like a whirlwind in the second half of the year. The first album included three champion singles. Although the first two champion singles were only saved for a few weeks, "lonely" was unexpectedly firm and is still on the championship list, and it is currently in its ninth week.
Among the newcomers, Li Donglai and Bieber were equally popular.
Bieber not only became more and more courageous in the music field, but also knew how to make iron while it was hot and became popular among women of all ages all over the world.
Li Donglai's three championship singles covered dance music, blues, and rap at the same time, and his popularity was far-reaching. The virgin disc from the British folk song "Mumford and the Sons" attracted the attention of all parties as soon as it was released.
This year's newcomers are all strong juniors with both strength and popularity. In addition, they have different styles, so they will definitely perform a good show.
Perhaps the media will focus on the PK between Li Donglai and Bieber, but don’t forget that the Grammy is “respect for the elderly” and “nostalgic”. How to say the style of the female bass singer Espolanza Spalding is more in line with the concept of nostalgia, but more suitable for the Grammy judges.
Li Donglai and the four of them are representatives of the new generation of singers. Many awards will overlap, and there will inevitably be a desperate battle. It is really unknown who will win or the dark horse will emerge.
In the spacious and warm living room, Li Donglai and everyone were eating delicious food while watching the content played on the TV screen in front.
The other three awards in the comprehensive category continue to be announced. In the three awards of annual production, album of the year and song of the year, the American country band Ladyantebellum (the goddess of pre-war) was the biggest winner. The title song of their first album "needyounow" in August 2009 reached the Billboard runner-up position.
The song of the same name, "needyounow", is a classic music with the unique style of RB soul music from the 1960s and the emotional expression of the 1970s.
The Grammy who "respects the elderly" is indeed not a fool.
Li Donglai's album was released too late. Although the album sales were good, the song categories were too mixed, and the singles were well received, but they could not be seen by Grammys as a whole.
Yoona and Missa also sing, so they were naturally envious. Emma looked indifferent and looked at it, and she didn't forget to grab the fish soup.
Popular category, the best pop female singers, Beyoncé, Reddy Gaga, Katie Perry, Nora Jones, Sarah Barelles and other popular pioneers will compete. On the announcement of the list of the best pop male singers, when they saw Michael Jackson "thisisit" who died the previous year reappear, countless people sighed.
Maybe Michael can still get his ninth phonograph after his death.
But it depends on whether Bruno Mars' super whirlwind "justthewayyouare" agrees. The deceased is gone, and we still need to look forward.
Li Donglai was nominated again, and the trouble-maker was nominated for the Best Pop Chorus Award. This is the second nomination today, and it is worth celebrating, so everyone raised the spoon in their hands and touched them happily.
Emma suddenly asked quietly. "Britney's buttocks feel good."
"It's good...well, of course, it's far from you." Li Donglai reacted in time, "She's a little fat. You know, I like those who are not fat or thin, it's better for you."
"Puchi..." Missa, as a guest, couldn't help laughing. Li Donglai's coverup was only exchanged for Yoona's heavy snorting. His private life was too ridiculous. With more women at home, he would be even less in position.
I felt nervous, "I actually launched a sneak attack, but fortunately I reacted quickly."
The entire Grammy has more than 40 rewards. It seems that it will take a long time to finish the relaxation of one song after another. However, after Li Donglai's two nominations, there was no sound again. The women in the room began to complain a little.
"Oppa. It won't be gone. In that case, the probability of winning the prize is very small."
Li Dong looked at Yoona with a worried look and couldn't help but smile, "What's nervous? I'm happy if I have nominations; I'm still happy if I don't have nominations."
His first album was just a screening style. He did it too much and some awards were divided too finely, so he was destined to be unable to achieve the best of both worlds. Moreover, he had only been released for a few months and had already sold diamonds, breaking multiple sales records. With a sales of tens of millions, how many singers in Hollywood have achieved such results? Even a blind man would not ignore it.
Not being nervous does not mean completely indifferent. In his mind, the greatest affirmation and praise comes from the audience.
He used to not like singing other people's pop songs, but only liked to sing his old operas over and over again. It was not because he didn't like singing, but because he sang poorly. On the contrary, he liked to sing operas in front of others, and now he also liked to sing live.
Someone was sang crazy by him on the spot, which was his greatest pursuit and enjoyment. On the one hand, this was reflected in the fans' evaluations, and on the other hand, it was the album sales; the second place was the phonograph!
Even if you can't get a gramophone, you may still get popcorn or something. There are so many awards in the United States.
Fortunately, Li Donglai's name finally appeared again in the rap "Best Rap Song" award. "lonely" lived up to expectations and occupied a place, and he will compete strongly with his strong rival Jay-zaliciakeys' "empirentate of Mind" on the Billboard.
“yes——”
Hearing the host's voice, he finally read "Li Donglai" again, and the women in the room immediately cheered happily.
It was shocked that the absent-minded Li Donglai and laughed: "I care so much about me."
"Tsk, it's just a pity for you." Emma attacked without any mercy.
Yoona smiled sweetly, "It has been nominated for three times, surpassing Justin Bieber."
"Ah, are you the target? Are Oppa and Justin Bieber friends?" Meng Jia asked strangely.
Yoona stammered for a long time without answering it. Emma answered for her and said, "Are they friends or good friends? They even kissed them and knew that they were nauseous."
"Hey, hey, I'm still having a meal. Can you stop vomiting at me?"
Li Donglai protested.
"Haha, it's so funny. So you all mind." Suzy smiled with a heartless look.
...
After the nomination was announced, countless media outlets were inevitably commented.
Various music magazines have shown their magical powers and have selected various awards. At present, it seems that Bruno Mars, who has better reputation and sales, and Michael Jackson, who has passed away, will have a life-and-death competition. The competition for the best newcomer is the most confusing. Li Donglai's album sales are even stronger, but Bieber has the love of women of all ages.
But rock and jazz have always been the darlings of music critics, and have a high status in American country music. Jazz female singer esperanzaspalding also has the potential to become a dark horse.
After the Grammy nomination list came out, Esperanza was frequently seen in the newspapers because of the super popularity of the new nominee this year. If she could turn the tables, it could be said that she would not be an upset person.
Of course, awards such as the best rap songs in the future have also been mentioned many times. So whether the newcomer is going to make a breakthrough or the veteran is stronger has become a hot topic of discussion.
Never had a Grammy Awards ceremony so lively, because every candidate is so close, and the awards are awarded in a slight rating. Even magazines such as "Rolling Stones" and "Rotation" cannot make assertions, and no one knows who the final winner is.
Or you can say a sarcastic saying that it is normal for anyone to win the award. However, don’t say this to JB fans and Li Donglai’s fans.
When Asian media, especially Chinese media, were talking about the Chinese singer being nominated for Grammy again, Li Donglai himself was already over the Pacific Ocean.
This is not the first time that Chinese people nominated for the Grammy Award. Even if Li Donglai won the award, he would not be the first Chinese to win the award. The earliest Yo-Yo Ma won the 40th Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Solo, and Tan Dun and Tang Muhai also won the Best Movie Original Music Album and Best Instrumental Concerto Award in the 44th Grammy Awards.
At the 50th Grammy Awards, Lang Lang's Beethoven album, which he collaborated with conductor Eisenbach, was nominated for "Best Performer", but Lang Lang missed the award.
But this time, Li Donglai's three Grammy nominations were the first in the pop music industry, and he is likely to become the first Chinese national artist to win a popular Grammy phonograph.
At the same time, after the nomination ended last night, Li Donglai had received a guest invitation from the jury to perform. He will also become the first Chinese to perform at the Grammy Awards Ceremony.
...
The plane in Los Angeles took off at 8 a.m. When it arrived at the stable, it was already night. It was snowing outside the stable terminal, and the ground and roof were covered with white floors, so you can see it even at night.
Li Donglai and his party had a lot of people.
In addition to a few main leaders, there are nearly ten assistants and bodyguards, and part of Mexiha's financial team has also come together. There are dozens of people, and most of them are foreigners, so they can't help but not attract attention.
