"The winning work of this year's Best Soul Song is Luo Quan's "Rolling in the Deep"!"

As the host called Luo Quan's name for the fourth time, the guests off-stage had already begun to show aesthetic fatigue.

It is simply too outrageous; everyone knows that Luo Quan is talented, and an album "Love" shocked the inside and outside of the circle, which can be called one of the best albums of the new century.

But before the award, no one could have predicted that she would be involved in so many music types. Now that the mainstream music awards have not been awarded yet, Luo Quan has already won the three big awards of folk, soul, and classical.

Although since the 21st century, these three months of music types have tended to be niche, and the popularity is far less than pop, rap, and electronic music, but in the early stage of the last century, when Western modern music just sprouted, these types plus jazz were the most popular music.

It can only be said that the times are different, and the aesthetics of fans have also changed; just like rock, the second half of the last century was the world of rock, but after the new century, the influence of rock has undergone a huge decline.

This is because of the changes in the lives of modern people, fast-paced life, fast-paced entertainment, and finally gave birth to fast-paced music.

This is a trend, from classical music to jazz to rock to pop, and then to rap now.

The thoughts and depth of music are not easy to evaluate, but the rhythm must be getting faster and faster.

In this impatient and utilitarian era, young people choose pop and rap in order to get ahead quickly, while those slow-paced music are all supported by a group of old faces, and there has been no fresh blood for a long time.

It is really thanks to Luo Quan that she is willing to release so many "retro old songs", and the quality is outrageously high.

The few world-famous songs before will not be discussed; "Rolling in the Deep" can also be listed as one of the greatest songs of the new century.

Once the award came out, this song was played as background music, and Luo Quan walked onto the stage to the beat.

Compared with the slightly excited mood of the previous few times, she is now much more peaceful.

As the saying goes, once familiar, twice familiar.

"Congratulations Luo Quan, do you have anything to say to everyone?" The host gave the trophy to Luo Quan and asked the same question.

Luo Quan's face was full of smiles, but the smile was mixed with some helplessness: "Originally, I prepared ten different acceptance speeches for this award ceremony, but it seems that these acceptance speeches will be finished before long."

Such a Versailles speech caused applause and cheers from the stars off-stage.

After all, it is a cultural difference; if the same words were said in China, it is estimated that a hat of being arrogant and talented would be put on the internet.

But here, such a speech is the embodiment of personality and strength.

You have this ability to say such things on stage; if you don't have the ability, you can only sit below obediently.

And once you are on stage, as long as you don't step on those red lines, no one will care what you say.

After the joke, Luo Quan started a serious acceptance speech: "Anyway, thank you very much to the judges for recognizing my works, but I actually have some small regrets in my heart, because the works I have won so far are all English songs. This time I don't know if my Chinese songs can win awards.

If not, it doesn't matter; I will work harder in the future, striving for the next time I go on stage to receive the award, the winning work will be a Chinese song.

In my heart, music has never had borders; cultural appreciation may need to understand the cultural background of a country or region, but music does not need it. Excellent music will eventually have a day of being recognized!"

This time, Luo Quan harvested the applause of the whole audience in the true sense.

For a singer with a sincere heart and noble musical pursuit, the musicians present will not be stingy with their palms.

Regardless of whether the current singers are criticized for being too commercial or too dependent on computer software technology, one undeniable point is that they are the most excellent batch of people in the pop music field on this planet.

And no matter which music field it is, it is broad and willing to absorb the essence of domestic and foreign countries.

So Luo Quan's speech is definitely worth a wave of applause.

After the speech, the award ceremony continued.

The music type awarded next is country music; in the United States, country music belongs to the type that is not enough to be better than the top, but better than the bottom.

It is indeed popular, but the audience base is not as good as pop.

Its glory was in the last century, about the same period as rock, and it also produced quite a lot of great gods, but compared with the rock stars, it was slightly worse.

And after the new century, the fate of country music was the same as rock, gradually declining.

However, in the past few years, country music has produced a musician who can be called a genius; she is a quite beautiful young female singer, about the same age as Luo Quan, and she is taller than her, reaching 1.8 meters!

This country female singer named Caitlin Christine released several country music songs that attracted the attention of the music circle when she debuted, and she also won quite a few Grammys the year before last.

Before Luo Quan appeared, Caitlin had always been considered the most excellent female singer of the new generation.

And this time for the selection of Best Country Music, Luo Quan and she both had works on the candidate list.

However, the final winner was Gao Liang.

Some musicians who didn't pay much attention to Gao Liang's new songs were confused; isn't this kid doing pop rap? How did he get a Best Country Music award?

"The winning work is Gao Liang's "500 Miles", this song was written by Luo Quan." Soon, an insider explained the reason to the confused people around him.

At the same time, Gao Liang's singing of "500 Miles" also sounded.

That lazy voice, pleasant melody, simply and clearly told everyone why this song won the award.

The musicians who finished listening to the song couldn't help but sigh, it is really worthy of being Luo Quan; whether it is what she sang herself or what she wrote for others, it is so good to listen to.

If I had such a sister, I could also win an award!

Many people sighed, and also felt jealousy towards Gao Liang.

Sometimes, you have to admit the thing called fate.

Gao Liang was obviously resigned to fate, happy like a silly son of a landlord's family.

Originally, he came this time to witness his sister creating history, but he didn't expect that he would accidentally win an award himself.

But it's the Grammy, don't take it if you don't take it.

But he also had a very clear understanding of himself. After getting the trophy, he started to blow his sister: "Actually, I was only responsible for the singing part of this song. The lyrics, music, accompaniment, and even the post-production were all produced by my sister. In my opinion, she is more qualified to receive this award than me."

The camera gave to Luo Quan off-stage, and the latter was putting her trophy on the empty seat next to her brother. Obviously, it was a bit too much to hold, and she didn't want to squeeze herself, so she had to let her brother sacrifice a bit.

This selfish act immediately caused the guests to laugh loudly. After Luo Quan discovered that she was actually on the big screen, her pretty face suddenly turned red.

Originally, it was daily persecution of her brother, but she didn't expect that she would be exposed in front of the public. The image of the sisters and brothers being harmonious also seemed to have problems.

However, Luo Quan's body stiffened for a while, and soon returned to normal, keeping a smile on her face, and did not take away the trophy on Gao Liang's seat.

As a younger brother, what's wrong with helping your sister take some things?

After Gao Liang came back, he was also "daring to be angry but not daring to speak", and Seifert was trembling all over from holding back laughter on the side.

"Laughing at a fart, after a while there will be more trophies, do you think you can run away?" Gao Liang glared at his good friend, and handed two trophies to his hands.

At the same time, the stage also proceeded to the award of Best Country Album.

This time it had nothing to do with Luo Quan; although she was involved in various music types, her albums were mainly classified into rock and pop. This award was indisputably won by Caitlin.

Before Luo Quan appeared, she was the veritable country little queen. After winning the Grammy, she also immediately signed with a big company, and her popularity began to skyrocket worldwide.

Although she has been seeking transformation recently and marching into the pop field, she has not fallen behind in country music, and her dominance is still quite high, so it is not surprising to win an award.

This 1.8-meter big beauty walked onto the stage with tears in her eyes, standing next to the host, she was actually a head taller than him, and she had to bend down slightly to speak.

"Wow, these legs are amazing." Seifert was below, seeing Caitlin's long legs, and Gao Liang's eyes were straight.

The most eye-catching part of Caitlin's whole body is those amazing long legs. A while ago, she also hit the Twitter trending search because she insured these legs for 20 million US dollars.

Today at the Grammy scene, Caitlin also generously showed her most proud legs.

"It's okay." Luo Quan took a sip of water, looking a bit listless.

I don't know if she has seen it too many times when she takes a bath, but now she is a bit tired of the beauty's body.

No matter how good-looking it is, it is not as good-looking as her own.

If it were someone else, saying this would inevitably be because of sourness, but Luo Quan said such things, and there was no reason to refute it.

The gap between the two in this regard is even greater than the gap between them in music, and it is the kind that is visible to the naked eye.

After country music, the first heavyweight award came — Annual Best MV Production.

This is one of the few heavyweight awards among so many artistic works that can be smashed out by smashing money.

Although MV scripts with depth are also easier to win awards, good scripts are always hard to find. By comparison, smashing money is much simpler.

Therefore, every year this award is competed for by big-production works backed by big capital, and singers who possess big capital are either kings or queens.

Interestingly, Caitlin, who just signed with a big company, is also on the candidate list. The MV of her new album's title song last year was truly good-looking, and there was praise inside and outside the industry. It wouldn't be strange even if she won the award.

It is worth mentioning that the MV currently recognized as having the best quality is "This is America" filmed by Luo Quan a while ago, which almost stripped the social problems of the United States clean. Now the clicks on YouTube have exceeded one billion, and the discussion popularity can only be described as explosive.

This was originally an unrivaled video, from rap to MV, it was so strong that there were no opponents.

But unfortunately, it was released at the beginning of the year and did not participate in the selection of this Grammy, so no matter how high the quality is, it has to wait until this time next year.

Therefore, the Best MV of this session was won by Caitlin, which is also her second trophy tonight.

In the past few Grammys, she had only won three Grammys in total, and she had accompanied the run many times. This year, she won two in one session, which can be said to be a bumper harvest, so Caitlin looked very excited on the stage, and the host also comforted her gently, letting her calm down before speaking.

However, at such a festive moment, a discordant scene happened.

A black man wearing a T-shirt and a baseball cap walked onto the stage and asked for the microphone from Caitlin.

Young Caitlin had not yet experienced the malice of this world, and very simply handed the microphone to her.

"First of all, congratulations Caitlin, congratulations on winning this award, but I think Paris's MV is the most hanging!" The black man paused and continued to repeat: "Paris's MV is the most hanging, she is more suitable for this trophy!"

After speaking, he returned the microphone to Caitlin and hurriedly returned to his seat.

At this time, the entire Staples Center was already in an uproar.

Caitlin was already completely dumbfounded, her full joy was completely washed away by such a sudden situation, and she stood there holding the microphone and smiling awkwardly.

And off-stage, the black female singer Paris who was mentioned also spread her hands, with a face of wtf; she also didn't expect such a situation to occur.

Although she and Caitlin were both nominated, the one who won the award after all was Caitlin. No matter what she thought in her heart, she should send blessings on the surface.

And as a queen-level singer, a Grammy is actually nothing to be particularly entangled with. If you miss it this time, you can just work harder next time.

If these words were said by some unknown person, that would be it.

The key is that the person who said this is a big shot in the rap of the new century. This black man once won more than a dozen Grammys and is currently the goat (strongest) of West Coast black rap, known as West Master.

He brought a revolutionary progress to rap music, allowing rap to have melody and truly move towards the public.

If rap can be so popular now, he has a quite large share of the function.

Don't look at him being only in his thirties, but in the music circle, he is a well-deserved senior. Even a little king of rap like Gao Liang has to greet him obediently when he meets him.

And it is such a senior big shot who snatched the microphone of the junior in front of the public and said words like your trophy should be given to others.

Any normal person on the scene would think whether this West Master's brain is broken after seeing this scene.

Actually not, because he has always been so rebellious, and it also fits his usual performance on the internet.

However, this time, his way of going crazy was truly too inappropriate, and it greatly hurt others.

More importantly, this is the Grammy global live broadcast scene.

Just that speech just now, it must have spread all over the world now.

It can be expected that no matter who wins the award tonight, there will be no award with higher popularity than this one.
