Superstar

Glory to Death and Green Day, the two most dazzling and successful rock bands in 1994, they had a personal relationship. This time they met unexpectedly on the Grammys and walked through the red carpet hand in hand, setting off an unparalleled experience. Youth storm, this also made the red carpet afterwards seem a little dull.

Henry followed the band from a distance to the front hall of the sacred auditorium. Then the band will enter the auditorium to welcome the beginning of the ceremony; but Henry has another task. He has a heavy responsibility. He must confirm the sound. Teachers, photographers and other links ensure that the performance of Glory to Death today can proceed smoothly according to their plan. Success or failure lies in this.

Tonight for glory to death, the Grammy Awards ceremony is only second, this performance is the top priority.

Seeing that Glory To Death was talking excitedly with the members of the Green Day band, Henry walked over quickly, but out of sight, he saw a familiar figure on the right hand side, that was Mariah Carey.

Maria wore a pink-colored long one-piece dress today. The design of the waistline moved perfectly to show her proud upper circumference, which made people ignore the shortcomings of her lower body proportions slightly out of balance, but the pink color is not actually It suits her too well, fortunately, she relies on her fair skin to conceal this shortcoming.

Standing beside Maria was her husband, Tommy Mottola. Tommy is the president of Columbia Records, and attending the Grammys is obviously a matter of course. Tommy was holding Maria’s waist and talking with Babyface () with a smile on her face. Maria was akimbo, in a depressed posture. Even if this is not a red carpet, she is not at all relaxed. I hope some reporters will take pictures. When she was, she was able to maintain the most perfect posture.

Maria is still the same, the same as before.

Henry's eyes paused for a while. It is expected that Maria will meet Maria today. Although Maria did not release a new album in 1994, but only released a Christmas album, the sales of this Christmas album are very gratifying and he is working hard to move towards The best-selling Christmas album in music history moves forward. Maria also won the nomination for best female pop singer by relying on the single "Hero (, and it was a matter of course to attend the awards ceremony.

Henry quickly withdrew his gaze, as if he hadn't seen Maria. As for Henry's inner thoughts, only he knew.

"Guys, it's okay if you just go in directly, and leave the rest to me." Henry said simply, because there is a Green Day band on the scene, and it is a public place, there are so many eyes and ears, it is inconvenient for him to say more. But Hugo, Neal and others still gave Henry a positive look, and their inner expectations became unstoppable.

After watching Henry turn and leave, Billy Joe looked curiously back and forth between Hugo and the others, "So, is there anything to look forward to?" He didn't understand what had happened, but just felt glorious. There seems to be an urge to try among the members of the band until they die.

Hugo pursed his lips and shrugged, "Let's see what happens." A meaningful sentence did not answer Billy Joe's doubts, but made him more curious.

Maria stood boringly. Tommy and Babyface were talking about some changes in the music industry, as if they were talking about the impact of rock on the mainstream music market. Maria had no interest. But she can't have any relaxation either. This is a Grammy, where there are scenes everywhere, and she needs to be perfect all the time.

Maria's gaze drifted uncontrollably towards Glory To Death and the Green Day Band, not only because the large group of people was very lively, but also because what happened on the red carpet just now has become the focus of discussion by countless people. It is hard to imagine that there is a singer who can be so appealing on the red carpet, and the earth-shaking beats have been echoing in my mind for a long time, which is enviable. "By the way, didn't Tommy and Kenny talk about the sensation on the red carpet from the beginning?" The original name of the baby face was Kenneth Brian Edmund (kenh...).

Just when Maria was thinking about it, her gaze suddenly stopped. It was Henry Bloom. Maria lifted her chin slightly, straightened her slightly curved back to make herself look more perfect, glanced at Henry proudly, and then slowly looked away, trying to express her arrogance-she didn't want to be with Henry has anything to do with it.

But Maria immediately turned her head and looked at Henry with a bit of astonishment, who didn't stop or give any sign. He actually ignored himself like this? Until Henry turned around and disappeared backstage, Maria did not recover, which was a shame to her! She was the one who turned and left, she was the one who had the initiative, and she was the one who chose to abandon him!

"Humph." Maria snorted, Henry is like this, there is always a kind of incomparable high in his bones, as if he is the only right in the world. He wants her to focus on music, but she doesn't think there is something wrong with making her music more popular and commercial. Isn't it about making money to become a singer? This time her Christmas album sold very well, although it was said to be a move to collect money, but...what about it!

Maria lifted her chin and glanced at Glory to death with contempt. What if the fans cheered for them? They will always be just non-mainstream niche singers. They will never be recognized by the Grammys. The Grammys cancelled the commemoration of Kurt-Cobain. Outsiders do not know the inside story, but Tommy as Colombia The president of the record knew exactly what they were doing, so Maria naturally knew their situation to death. So... they were just farmers who came to visit from a rural area in Arkansas.

But she is different. She has already won two Grammy phonographs, and she has also won several trophies at the National Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards. She is currently the only one in the entire music scene that can compare with Whitney Houston. singer. She and them are two completely different levels.

Thinking of this, Maria picked up the corner of her eyes contemptuously, retracted her gaze, and returned to the conversation between Tommy and Babyface, "The vitality brought by this band is indeed commendable. The whole market is now looking at it. It doesn’t look the same anymore...” Maria’s expression on her face became slightly stiff when she heard the baby-faced compliment, she asked, “Are you talking about glory to death?”

"Yes, of course..." Babyface replied affirmatively, which made Maria almost unable to control the expression on her face, but for the sake of her own image, she still suppressed her emotions dangerously and reluctantly smiled. But looking at Babyface's constantly opening and closing lips, her attention was lost again, "It's all a bunch of ****!"

Glory to Death did not find Maria's existence, mainly because they had a good chat with the Green Day band.

The Grammys tonight seem to be different from what you imagined, especially for Hugo.

When Hugo participated in the Golden Globes and Oscars before, before the ceremony officially began, it was actually a very important social occasion. Whether they were familiar or unfamiliar, they were very happy to say hello and talk a few words. This is why many second- and third-line actors dream of attending the Oscars, because there they can talk directly with top superstars, and they will respond politely.

This is not the case at Grammys today. Hugo's side was very lively. Not only were the Green Day bands, but when Pearl Paste arrived on the scene, they also came to them for the first time, and then the Nine Inch Nails joined the band, which made them more enthusiastic. Although occasionally other singers will come over, such as Elton John (.), such as Ace Base, but in general, all Hugo and them talk to are people in the alternative rock circle.

The Grammy crowd seems to be divided into three parts, mainstream music singers, country, pop, R&B, soul, etc. are all in this part; mainstream rock singers, Bruce Springsteen, Smith Spaceship, Guns and The Rose Band and so on are the representatives of this part; the rest are the "Alice" who just broke into this strange world this year, Glory To Death, Green Day Band, Nine Inch Nail Band and so on.

They are like outsiders isolated from the noisy feast in front of them, which is exactly the same as the status quo of alternative rock in the American music scene. Even with the brilliance of Nirvana, even with the collective power of "The Voice of Seattle", even with the emergence of countless grunge rock that directly gave birth to the new metal rock, they are still a group of isolated and forgotten groups. people.

This is like nouveau riche ~www.readwn.com~ Although their assets have reached the top level, but without the background and inheritance, they will always be isolated by the upper class. Although rock has a long history, the brilliance of the 1960s and 1970s influenced the culture of the following half a century; but after being absent from mainstream society for nearly two decades, the mainstream music market has marginalized rock and roll.

Rock has a long way to go to return to the core of the mainstream.

This situation has also inspired the enthusiasm in the members of the Glory to the Dead. It is because of this social status that they are underestimated by the Grammys, whether the nomination eligibility dispute last year or the cancellation of the Kurt-Cobain memorial session this year Even though Nirvana and Pearl Sauce have sold tens of millions of albums, and even if glory dominates the record market in 1994, there is still no essential change in this situation.

So tonight, they are going to set off an unprecedented change. They want to completely release the rock spirit in their bones on this so-called mainstream stage and declare their existence!

"Are you ready? The performance is about to begin." Before entering the studio, Neil looked at his partners, and the nervousness came again, but this time, in addition to nervousness, excitement and expectation Emotions became a hotter presence in the eyes.
