King of Stage - Chapter 804

The 56th Grammy Awards ceremony kicked off.

Last year, the king attended the event for the first time as a rookie, and everything was novel.

Although they did not expect that they would be able to be on the stage to receive the award and attend the dinner with a learning, visiting, and inquiring mentality, tension and restraint were inevitable when they were among the stars for the first time, lest they behave inappropriately. Just become the “Texas into the city” and become the target of social network group ridicule the next day.

This year, the king once again attended the ceremony as a supporting actor, but his mood was slightly different.

Because I had an experience, I still won the nomination because I didn’t release a new album last year. The band members were satisfied and attended the party with a relaxed mind. They all understood that they were not the protagonist tonight, but the supporting role of the award-giving guest and the performing guest. , This subtle change in self-positioning also allows them to truly remove the burden and feel the charm of Grammys.

At least Ronan is so.

Others are more or less still looking forward to it. Maxim expects that he can still shine in the audience tonight, and once again prove his unique charm-he also believes that he can do it; Cliff looks forward to making more friends in the industry , Let the superstars become a member of his address book-he is also full of confidence in himself.

And Ollie?

Ollie didn’t look forward to it for the time being, but the withdrawal reaction made him a little anxious—he had been away from different types of drugs for three days. It was not a long time, but the withdrawal reaction has initially appeared, and there are no direct symptoms for the time being. It is more of a kind. Anxiety of insecurity. He needs to divert his attention.

Of course, these expectations and anxiety are just a small part of the emotions. Including them, the overall mood of the band is more relaxed and more at ease. Last year, for various reasons, I could not enjoy the awards ceremony. This year, I will treat it as a concert scene. Immersed in it.

Adjust the angle slightly, and the same thing will take on a different look, as is the case with the Grammys in front of you.

The Grammy’s opening this year was opened by Jay-Z and Beyoncé, the most powerful couple in the music industry in North America. They performed their latest collaboration single, “Drunk-In-Love”.

Back then, Beyonce and Jay-Z collaborated on “Crazy-In-Love”, which allowed Beyoncé, who had left the combination to fly solo, to the top of his career, not only sweeping the billboard championship, but also gaining. He won two Grammy gramophone trophies, and more importantly, started a legendary career as a golden partner.

Time flies. Ten years later, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have not only become the world’s first music couple with personal assets exceeding one billion U.S. dollars, but they have also become one of the most powerful celebrity couples in North America.

Last year, Jay-Z returned to the music circle and was extremely busy. At the beginning of the year, he collaborated with Justin Timberlake and released his new studio album in the middle of the year. At the end of the year, he collaborated with Beyonce and participated in the production of Beyoncé’s new solo album. “Love as Drunk” is the first wave of the album’s main hit.

Regrettably, “Love as Drunk” failed to create the glory of “Crazy for Love”, even compared to Jay-Z’s other two singles last year-“Suit and Leather Shoes” and “Holy Grail”. That’s a lot.

The airborne bulletin board singles chart ranked 12th in the first week of release. As of the time of the Grammy Awards, this was the highest ranking of singles. During the period, the ranking has been slowly declining; the results are on the one hand, but the controversy It’s another aspect.

The creator of the original song “Love as Drunk” is Detail. After he completed the rhythm of the song, he initially invited the rapper Future to sing, and the latter also participated in the melody creation; however, Detail invited Beyoncé to come. The song was recorded and Tim Baran was invited to write the lyrics and arrange the music, and Future was completely unaware of it.

Under such circumstances, Future used the melody and rhythm of this song to create the title song “Good-Morning” for his second studio album, but he did not expect that Beyoncé had no publicity. The new single “Love Is Drunk” was released immediately after the next release, and Future was killed by surprise.

Of course, this is not plagiarism or infringement. It is just a kind of disrespect. There is a better way to solve the matter, but the result is so unpleasant. Future was furious about it and even had disputes with Detail, Jay-Z and others. .

After the news came out, Future received overwhelming support from public opinion, but it was obviously impossible to change anything.

More importantly, in spite of the controversy, the Grammys still started with Beyoncé and Jay-Z. It is not that the Grammys are brave, but the position and power of the Beyoncés in the entire music industry cannot be shaken. , Even Grammys, there are times when they can’t help themselves.

What’s more, Grammys need topicality and ratings. Taylor Swift’s opening last year did not bring the imaginary impact. This year they also made a stronger choice, looking forward to this gold-sucking couple. Can change the ratings dilemma of the awards ceremony.

Facts have proved that Grammy made the right choice.

The ratings after the awards ceremony showed that the final viewership increased by nearly two percentage points compared with last year, and created the highest ratings since 1993. The hot and **** performances of Beyoncé and Jay-Z are also on the social network. No. 1 on the chart, and “Love as Drunk” will return to the peak of No. 12 on the bulletin board singles chart next week. The effect is very direct.

However, the ratings among the 18 to 49-year-old main viewers, which advertisers are most concerned about, actually dropped by two percentage points.

From the perspective of Grammy’s programming, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com’s massive tribute to the classics attracted many middle-aged and elderly audiences at the expense of the loss of young audiences. Moreover, the length of the program set a new high again, becoming the longest awards ceremony in 22 years, and it appeared in the final stage. confusion.

At the end of the awards ceremony, a concert of classic rock songs performed by the lead singer of the Spitfire Band, the Nine Inch Nails, and the Stone Age Queen, lasted as long as nine minutes, which exceeded the rehearsal time of the program group. The producer cut off the performance on the spot on the grounds that the program was overtime, and the awards ceremony was directly subtitled.

This move caused great controversy, and after the award ceremony ended, it triggered a tsunami-style discussion—

Opponents believe that this is disrespect for the performers, and since the performance has already begun, they should be allowed to finish.

Supporters believe that the length of the award ceremony has been unbearable, and the program group should reflect on its programming.

Both the pros and the opponents are unwilling to show weakness and stalemate, and the bustling debate continues. Although the award ceremony inevitably arouses a lot of controversy every year, it is really rare to see the “car accident scene” directly exposed to everyone like this year.

What’s more, this is still not the only “controversy” at this year’s awards ceremony.
