Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Taylor slowly walked backstage, holding the trophy in his hand.

In just a few minutes, her emotions went on a roller coaster, from initial disbelief, to excitement to tears, to disbelief again at this moment.

The trophy in my hand felt heavy, as if proving that all this was real.

She recalled her determination when she chose the path of a singer, and she had fantasized about the moment when she stood on the Grammy stage, but when her dream really came true, she still felt like it was a dream.

Returning to his seat, Taylor looked at Shen Lang with burning eyes and said sincerely, "Thank you, teacher."

Shen Lang smiled gently, his eyes full of encouragement: "This is what you deserve. You have worked hard and have enough talent. You deserve it."

While everyone was still immersed in the joy of Taylor's award, the guests on the stage began to announce the winner of the Best Female Country Vocalist Award.

“Congratulations Taylor!”

Taylor was immersed in the joy of winning the award and didn't react for a moment. It was only after Shen Lang reminded her softly that she reacted.

Many singers at the scene also showed surprised expressions, and their first reaction was "Her again?"

But on second thought, the album Taylor released last year was all country songs, and the quality of each song was top-notch.

This album also ranked first on the Billboard Country Album Sales Chart last year. Two of its songs even topped the Billboard chart. Coupled with the Grammy Award for Best Country Song, its strength is obvious to all.

Moreover, in the field of country female singers, there are very few singers who are truly talented and have good achievements, so it is reasonable for Taylor to win the award again.

While everyone was still in amazement, Taylor had already come to her senses. Amid thunderous applause, she walked onto the stage with light but firm steps.

This time, she didn't cry with excitement like before, but her inner excitement could still be seen from her slightly flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes.

After all, winning two Grammy Awards in a row is an achievement that many singers dream of, and Taylor did it at such a young age, which far exceeded her own expectations.

In front of the TV, Shu Chang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Tsk tsk tsk, another award, she made a fortune this time."

Liu Yifei pouted slightly and said a little sourly: "Wait for Brother Lang."

Although she was a little jealous of Taylor's achievements, she had to admit that Taylor became a god with this album and established her foothold in the American music scene.

As the award ceremony progressed, the real competition began.

The atmosphere on the stage was tense and intense. The two favorites for this year's Grammy Awards - Shen Lang and Charles - became the focus of everyone's attention.

Shen Lang won the Best Folk Song Award for his upbeat song "I'm Yours," and then won the Best Pop Song Award for "What Makes You Beautiful."

Charles was not to be outdone. Since most of his albums were chorus songs, he won the Best Gospel Performance and Best Pop Chorus Awards for his outstanding performance.

Later, in the competition for several important awards, the Grammy judges fully demonstrated their respect for their predecessors in the music industry.

The two most important awards of the year, "Best Album" and "Best Record", were awarded to Charles. At the same time, some important awards were also given to veterans of the music industry such as U2, Velvet Pistols, Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, etc. This is not only a recognition of their contributions to the music field over the years, but also reflects the Grammys' respect for their predecessors in the music industry.

Shen Lang also did not fall behind. Relying on his own strength, he won the "Best Electronic Music" and "Best Pop Vocal Album" awards respectively.

At this point, the number of awards he and Charles won was tied at 4:4, and the fierce competition became even more exciting.

When Liu Yifei, who was watching TV, saw the result, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, the Best Album and Best Record didn't go to Brother Lang?"

Shu Chang also snorted in dissatisfaction: "I don't accept it!"

The two English albums released by Shen Lang last year have a total sales volume of over 3000 million copies, and he also has five Billboard No. singles. These brilliant achievements are enough to prove his strength.

However, the Grammy jury is large, covering professionals from all walks of life, and the vast majority of them are Americans.

Under such a judging system, if Shen Lang wins awards consecutively, it will undoubtedly be a pressure for American singers.

In fact, this competition is not just a competition of musical ability, but also involves more complex factors.

"(English) As expected, Charles won all the awards." Beyonce showed a proud smile on her face, and her dark skin was particularly obvious under the light.

"I've said it before, how can he compare with Charles." JAY-Z laughed, his eyes full of contempt for Shen Lang.

"But he still won four trophies." Catherine frowned, her tone full of unwillingness, and the expression on her face seemed to express her dissatisfaction with Shen Lang winning the awards.

At this moment, they only hoped that anyone other than Shen Lang could win more awards. In their eyes, Shen Lang should not have such a brilliant performance at the Grammy Awards.

However, they ignored Taylor.

Although Taylor is a native American, she has a close connection with Shen Lang.

In the subsequent most competitive comprehensive awards, the winner of "Best Newcomer" is a major highlight.

Judging from the list of nominations, Taylor and Maroon 5 have the greatest chances.

Judging from the list of nominations, Taylor and Maroon 5 have become the strongest contenders.

Maroon 2002's album "Songs About Jane" was released as early as , but its lead single "Harder to Breathe" only quietly topped the charts a year later.

However, the song quickly became popular due to its unique dramatic content and distinctive singing style, which made their album attract the attention of fans again in 2004, two years after its release.

As a new band, Maroon 5 has been able to maintain such charm for a long time, which is why the Grammy judges favor them so much.

Taylor's performance is even more amazing. In the past year, among the newcomers, almost no one can compete with her.

She released two English albums when she debuted, with total sales of over 1000 million copies. She also won three Billboard No. songs and firmly occupied the top spot on the Billboard Country Albums Chart.

As far as the achievements she has made are concerned, even Norah Jones, who was nominated for eight Grammy Awards the year before last, could not reach her level. She received fewer nominations because, apart from the song "Baby", most of her other works are country songs, which have certain limitations in style.

However, this did not affect her dazzling brilliance last year, and also gave her a great advantage in the competition for Best New Artist. "The winner of the 47th Grammy Best New Artist is... Taylor!"

There were no surprises or upsets, Taylor won the Best Newcomer award.

This award is of great significance. Compared with the previous Best Country Song and Best Female Country Singer awards, the Best New Artist Award is more rare because a singer only has one chance to compete for this award.

Taylor walked onto the stage for the third time with a look of joy on her face and won all three awards she was nominated for. This was undoubtedly the best coming-of-age ceremony for her.

"I dare not imagine her future achievements." Shu Chang exclaimed.

“……” Liu Yifei had nothing to say.

It is an indisputable fact that others can write and sing. She certainly cannot compare with them, but she is also confident in her charm and ability.

Among the popular awards, the most popular ones are of course the Best Male and Best Female Pop Singer awards, also known as the "King" and "Queen" of Singers.

The Best Female Pop Vocalist award was announced first.

At the 45th Grammy Awards two years ago, the talented Norah Jones won 8 awards like a dark horse. This time she once again won the trophy for Best Diva, which strongly proved that the Grammy judges value musical talent far more than the singer's appearance.

Looking back to February last year, Norah Jones' second solo album "Like Home" performed extremely well. Once released, it topped the BILLBOARD US album chart for 2 consecutive weeks. Among female singers, her achievements are indeed outstanding and unmatched.

Although she did not become the biggest winner by winning 8 awards like she did two years ago, she won awards such as Best Pop Female Singer and Best Pop Duo/Collection, and reaped a lot of rewards, which was undoubtedly well deserved.

In contrast, the competition for Best Male Pop Vocalist is more intense.

However, Shen Lang stood out among the nominees, and the outside world generally believed that this award belonged to him.

There is no doubt that last year was the "Shen Lang Year". The other five nominated male pop singers combined were not as good as him.

But I don’t know if it will be an upset.

"Impossible!" Beyonce said firmly. In her opinion, the Grammys would not allow Shen Lang to win the award again. She seemed to have her own judgment and expectations.

"It will definitely be given to Charles, because his album has pop songs." JAY-Z was also full of confidence and believed that Charles had a great chance of winning the award with the pop songs in his album.

"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Katherine suddenly felt a little uneasy. Her intuition seemed to tell her that things might not develop the way Beyonce and JAY-Z thought.

Will an upset happen?

Obviously not.

"Brother Lang is awesome!"

"Brother Lang is mighty!"

When the award presenter clearly read out the name "Shen Lang", Liu Yifei and Shu Chang could no longer suppress their inner excitement and immediately cheered.

This is right!

It’s fine if they don’t give me two album awards, but not giving me this one would be too much!

With his outstanding ability and outstanding performance in music in the past year, Shen Lang won the Best Pop Male Singer Award without any suspense and successfully won the award for the second time.

He used his strength to make all the doubting voices disappear, and let everyone once again see his dominance in the field of pop music.

At the scene, those who were not optimistic about Shen Lang's winning felt extremely upset. If the award ceremony had not ended yet, they would have left in anger.

As the award ceremony continued, the final few awards were announced, making Beyonce and JAY-Z look increasingly unhappy.

Black singers accounted for half of this year's nomination list, but the result was beyond many people's expectations.

Usher, the popular R&B king who had hoped to win big at this year's Grammy Awards, ultimately only won three major awards: Best R&B Album, Best R&B Band/Group, and Best Rap Collaboration. He also lost to the successful comeback old man "Prince" Prince in the competition for Best R&B Male Singer.

Not to mention JAY-Z, who was full of expectations but got nothing, and his face was full of disappointment.

Also disappointed was Beyonce, who also failed to win any awards at this year's Grammy Awards.

Alicia Keys, a talented singer who won five awards at the Grammy Awards three years ago, won three awards including Best Female R&B Singer, Best R&B Song, and Best R&B Album, and won the Best R&B Band/Group Award with Usher.

When the final awards were decided, Shen Lang and Charles each won five Grammy trophies, undoubtedly becoming the biggest winners at this year's Grammy Awards ceremony.

Tonight, some are happy and some are sad. Only the real spectators say: There are too many gossips and I’m full!

The next day, reports from major media were like bombshells, instantly causing ripples in the world music community.

The New York Times published an article titled "Shen Lang has set off a pop music storm in the second year!", highly praising Shen Lang's strong influence in the field of pop music. He is like an unstoppable storm, sweeping the entire music scene.

"Entertainment Weekly" focused on the number of awards Shen Lang won, "Taking away 5 Grammy trophies, Shen Lang's total number of Grammy trophies rose to 12!" This title clearly shows Shen Lang's brilliant achievements on the Grammy stage. The 12 trophies are undoubtedly the best proof of his musical talent.

"Life & Style Weekly" took a different approach, "8 Grammy trophies, teacher and student swept the American music scene together!" It emphasized that Shen Lang not only had remarkable achievements himself, but also successfully cultivated outstanding students. The teacher and students shined together and became a good story in the American music scene.

"Rolling Stone" magazine focused on describing Shen Lang's victory in the competition, "American singers' collective efforts to block Shen Lang failed!" It vividly showed how difficult it was for Shen Lang to stand out among many American singers. He broke the doubts of the outside world with his own strength.

"Billboard" used "A crazy night, Shen Lang is writing new history!" to describe this exciting moment. Shen Lang's performance on the Grammy stage was crazy, and he was writing his own legendary history with his music.

"Time" magazine even directly praised Shen Lang as "the consecutive Grammy King, the birth of a new pop king!" This title is undoubtedly a high recognition of Shen Lang's status in the field of pop music.

……

Under the powerful influence of the Grammy Awards, Shen Lang's name quickly spread throughout the world's music circles. He became the focus of everyone's attention. Both his fellow musicians and his fans were amazed at his achievements. (End of this chapter)
