Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

New York, hotel.

Taylor sat in front of the TV, watching the live broadcast of this year's Grammy Awards ceremony with full concentration.

When she saw Shen Lang miss out on two prizes that he had a very high chance of winning, she immediately frowned.

"Is it true as the rumors on the Internet say that Mr. Shen Lang will not be awarded any awards just because he is not a European or American singer?"

"If this is true, how can the Grammys claim to be the most authoritative and fair music awards ceremony in the world?"

"Anyway, the quality of the songs and the sales of the album have fully proved that Mr. Shen Lang was the most outstanding singer in the world last year."

She watched the live broadcast and talked softly to herself.

Since she learned about Shen Lang through the Internet and her company's agent, Shen Lang has become an idol in her heart.

Even if she abandons the fan filter, objectively speaking, she still believes that in the entire past year, no singer could be compared with Shen Lang.

When Taylor was immersed in defending Shen Lang, another group of award presenters came on stage. These two guests were her favorite country singers.

The award they are about to present is the "Best Country Song Award", which is also an important award that she pays close attention to because she is pursuing the route of a country singer.

Shen Lang was nominated for the award for his song "Need You Now", which had already won an award at the 14th Billboard Music Awards a month ago.

Now, it depends on whether the Grammys will give it to you.

At this moment, Taylor clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly to God, hoping that Shen Lang could win the award.

At this time, the camera on the scene was turned to the nominees.

The picture is very impactful, Shen Lang VS 4 American country singers.

Country music is a unique style of the United States. Relatively speaking, local singers can undoubtedly better interpret its unique charm.

However, Shen Lang's "Need You Now" is a smooth and highly infectious country healing love song. The integration of guitar and piano in the arrangement adds a touch of blues to the whole song, and is deeply loved by country music lovers.

The song topped the Billboard Country Songs chart for three consecutive months, which shows its strength.

In the original time and space, the band Antebellum won four awards at the 53rd Grammy Awards for this song: "Record of the Year", "Song of the Year", "Best Country Collaboration" and "Best Country Song".

On the stage, George Strait held an envelope containing the results. No one except the organizer knew whose name was written on it.

He was not in a hurry to present the awards on the stage, but instead commented on the five nominated singers.

As the "King of Country Music", recognized as one of the most influential and popular recording artists of all time, he is naturally qualified to comment.

"Shenlang, a musical genius from the East China, has a rich and varied musical style, but he always remembers one thing: the original intention of music is to express, to present the consciousness and attitude of the creator, rather than to please the audience. No matter what the result is tonight, in my heart, you are an excellent singer."

This is George's evaluation of Shen Lang, a very high evaluation, which fully reveals his appreciation for Shen Lang.

Shen Lang was quite surprised. To be honest, he really didn't know who George was. As for European and American singers, he was only familiar with the more famous ones. However, the other party showed such strong goodwill and love, he must respond. He smiled, nodded slightly, and then performed the Chinese fist salute.

"Well, let's see who the goddess of luck has blessed... The winner of the 46th Grammy Award for Best Country Song is... "Need You Now". Congratulations to Shen Lang!"

At this moment, Shen Lang's calm was broken and a happy smile broke out on his face.

"Congratulations!" Justin on the side clapped and congratulated.

"Thank you." Shen Lang stood up and walked onto the stage.

After receiving the trophy from George, his eyes stayed on the trophy for a few seconds before moving away, and then he walked to the microphone.

"Coming here for the second time, I feel different. I am very happy to receive this award. I want to thank my mother and my motherland, China, for making me who I am. I also want to thank all the people who support me, for making me who I am..."

At this time, Shen Lang's heart calmed down again. When he finished his acceptance speech and walked off the stage, he raised the trophy towards the camera. This action seemed to be sharing his joy with the audience in front of the TV. However, since there was also an audience seat in front of him, this action also seemed to be a response to Beyonce's remarks.

Seeing this, Beyonce's already dark face became even darker, and her jealousy and dissatisfaction became more obvious at this moment.

At this time, Taylor was lying on the bed in front of the TV, shaking her feet happily. She looked so excited as if she had won an award. With a capable and visionary teacher like Shen Lang by her side, how could she not be happy and excited?

"Don't worry, it will be your turn to win the award soon, and that's it for him too." Beyonce's fiancé Jay-Z whispered in her ear.

"Why am I in a hurry? Am I in a hurry?" Beyoncé chuckled.

She had just gotten engaged to Jay-Z, and she showed off their engagement diamond ring at the red carpet ceremony.

Jay-Z is a black rapper who is 12 years older than her and is said to be a "ruthless guy" in the United States.

The two met in 2000, when Beyoncé was just 18 years old.

It has to be said that Beyonce is talented in singing.

Her album also sold 470 million copies.

Two of the top-ranked singles were collaborations with Jay-Z.

In the original time and space, Beyoncé has won a total of 32 Grammy Awards and was nominated 88 times, the first in history. She is unprecedented and unmatched. She is the most industrialized female pop singer. The music team behind her is the best in the world. With clear division of labor and rigorous details, she has brought pop music from music to public opinion, politics, film and television, brands, luxury, and culture. She can be said to be the most successful commercial value-preserving singer at present.

JAY-Z has also won 24 Grammy Awards and has been nominated 88 times, ranking first among mainstream male singers in the non-music industry. This couple really has something. In the 20 years of commercial pop music, they have been regular guests at the Grammy Awards every year. But it must be said that rap and black music in Europe and the United States in recent years have been more likely to win awards.

At this moment, the country category was finished and the R&B category was next.

The award presenter was Eminem, also a great man. He won a Grammy in 2000. His biggest breakthrough was proving that white people could also get involved in the rap world dominated by blacks and achieve huge success.

He also mentioned Shen Lang on the stage, because Shen Lang's song "See You Again" also has a rap section. He gave Shen Lang a very high evaluation, and even jokingly told Shen Lang not to come to the rap world to snatch his trophy.

The mention of Shen Lang, on the one hand, shows that Shen Lang's influence in the music industry has already attracted the attention of this rap big shot; on the other hand, it also makes people full of expectations as to whether Shen Lang will get involved in the rap field in the future.

Beyoncé gnashed her teeth when she heard this. This award had nothing to do with her. She thought to herself, "Why did you mention him?"

At the same time, she was thinking, is this guy really going to write a rap song?

It is not impossible. As can be seen from the song "See You Again", Shen Lang has no problem with both composing and singing English rap.

If Shen Lang really starts to compose rap songs, it will undoubtedly bring new vitality and challenges to the rap world.

Just as everyone's thoughts were drifting, Eminem opened the envelope and announced: "The winner of the 46th Grammy Best R&B Song is "Crazy in Love", Beyoncé..."

Beyonce's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise and joy. For a moment, tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Jay-Z tightly, looking extremely moved.

After stepping onto the stage, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes and said excitedly: "This is incredible. For me, being able to sing this song is enough..." Then before walking off the stage, she also raised the trophy like Shen Lang.

Moreover, her eyes glanced in the direction of Shen Lang.

Clearly, this was a provocative move.

It was also from this moment that the two of them started the sweeping mode, going back and forth, determined to become the biggest winner of the night.

"Best Instrumental Composition Award...Shen Lang!"

"Best Rap Collaboration Award...Beyoncé!"

"Best Instrumental Arrangement Award...Shen Lang!"

"Best R&B Performance by a Duo...Beyoncé!"

"Best Pop Vocal Album Award...Shen Lang!"

"Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group...Beyoncé!"

In just a short period of time, both of them won three prizes.

So far, we have won four awards.

And, they all received more than half of the nominations.

However, Beyoncé's expression was more solemn.

Because she did not receive twelve nominations, so if the number of nominations was half, she would have fewer nominations than Shen Lang.

Even if she won all the awards in the subsequent ceremonies, she would not necessarily be able to surpass Shen Lang.

Now that the Grammy Awards have started this trend, there will definitely be no more restrictions. Shen Lang has the potential to make history.

In the history of the Grammy Awards, the best result was achieved by Michael Jackson at the 1984th Grammy Awards ceremony held on February 2, 28.

With his representative work "Thriller" and "Beat It" included in it, he won the Album of the Year, Production of the Year, and the three categories of pop, rock and R&B singing awards, winning eight Gramophone Awards in one fell swoop, surpassing Paul Simon's previous best of seven Grammy Awards.

However, strictly speaking, only seven awards were won for the album "Thriller". Another major award was won for the soundtrack he recorded with Quincy Jones for the famous director Spielberg's film "ET". This album was awarded the Grammy Award for "Best Children's Album" that year.

Today's Shen Lang has a bit of the momentum of Jackson back then. People can't help but wonder whether he can break the record or equal Jackson's brilliant achievements. This is really exciting.

If Shen Lang can achieve this feat, it will undoubtedly leave a significant mark in the history of music.

"Best R&B Female Vocal Performance Award...Beyoncé!"

Beyonce won the award as expected and got what she wished for.

Her number of awards rose to five, tying the best result for a female singer.

Before this, there were only three female singers who won five awards at a single Grammy Awards: Lauryn Hill (1999), Alicia Keys (2002), and Norah Jones (2003).

"If you win this award, you will definitely get more than him. He can't beat Justin because Justin's popularity is too high." Jay-Z said confidently.

"It's time to end." Beyonce didn't think Shen Lang would continue to win awards.

Then, Jay-Z lost to Luther Vandross in the Best R&B Male Vocal Performance category.

His mood suddenly became worse.

They originally thought that if both husband and wife reached the top, it would be a romantic and sweet scene, and would also leave a good story in Grammy history, but the result was not what they wished.

Next, we come to the popular category.

This category is the most popular, after all, it has a wide audience.

The reason why pop music is widely loved and sought after is mainly because it is easy to listen to, has emotional resonance, diverse styles and social attributes. Whether in busy work breaks or in leisure time, listening to a moving pop song can always make people immerse themselves in it and relax their body and mind.

The first award was Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, which was won by Christina Aguilera.

However, when it came time to present the "Best Male Pop Vocalist Award", a show was interspersed in the middle.

In tribute to Vandross, Celine Dion, dressed in white, sang his song "Dance with my father."

However, as soon as the piano sounded, the audience burst into applause. Due to technical failure, the audience did not hear Dion's singing, but instead heard the urging voices of the backstage staff.

The staff had to go on stage and change the microphone for her.

To ensure the quality of the microphone, Dion tapped the microphone twice and started singing only after hearing a response.

But after singing a few lines, the microphone started howling again, and Dion had a hard time finishing the performance.

The appearance of this little episode made the atmosphere on the scene much more relaxed.

At this time, award presenters Madonna and Stevie Wonder came on stage and the audience burst into warm applause.

Both of them are heavyweights.

Stevie Wonder is a blind musician known worldwide for his versatility and unique musical style.

Madonna is 46 years old this year. She has not indulged in plastic surgery, but her face is still attractive and she is still the world-renowned "Queen of Pop".

The two interacted on the stage, as if performing a "duo act", and then focused their attention on the biggest award for male singers tonight.

This time, the strength of the five nominees should not be underestimated.

Justin Timberlake – “Cry Me A River”;
Sting (British singer) - "Send Your Love";
Marvin Gaye - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough";
George Harrison – "Any Road";
Shen Lang——"Uptown Funk".

Among them, Shen Lang and Justin are evenly matched, and they have the highest support from the outside world and are considered to be the candidates with the greatest chance of winning the award.

Under the camera, the five people had different expressions.

In front of the TV and at the scene, everyone was waiting for this exciting moment.

Madonna opened the envelope, read the name on it, and whispered to Steve, who would announce the winner. (End of this chapter)
