53rd Annual Grammy: Alternative music end of the business trend is more obvious

This year's Grammy looks like many viewers said, to "upset" the main keynote, in fact, whether from the current class awards or classification awards, we can see the Grammy has gradually put down the price, in the premise of maintaining their own certain principles, more favored business works. And this trend from the previous award and the nomination of this year we can vaguely smell.　　Under the general depression of the music industry, Grammy as the "Record Industry award", naturally it also has to guide and recognize the role of business, so it is not surprising that the "best album of the Year" in the category, with almost no exception, is given to the best album in the nomination album.　　The winning results of the pass-class awards are summed up in two sentences: to protect Native American traditional music "country music" and to guide the future trend of mainstream music. Grammy to the United States "country music" protection These years is getting worse, in nearly five times of the Dixie, either in the country before the village combination of Chicks07 years in the pass all the prizes, or five years of "Best Rookie" award three to the country music singer--carrie underwood/ Lady Antebellum/zac Brown Band or Little Belle Taylor Swift won the "best Album of the Year" last year, and we all find that the country music is found in every Grammy Award list for 5 years. This situation in the 90 's and 21st century years before the Grammy Awards were never seen, looking back on the Grammy Awards before 07, the General Awards, the shadow of country music is only a handful.　　So the Grammy continues to "protect the local folk songs" Situation, the "Best Song of the Year" and "the best recording of the Year" to the village combination of Lady revivalist, "Need". "Need You" can be called last year's billboard list of the nail, in the United States fire for a whole year, even its own quality of the same album of the same name to borrow the single of the East Wind swept the United States. Can return to the music itself, compared to the other nominated works, this song really have a qualification for the award? The beholder ... To know in the "best recording of the Year" in this award for the quality of the song production, the song of the commentary and fans unanimously applauded the "Empire state of Mind" have been blown down, who can say, "Need you" in the production of what place? It's estimated that the judges should weigh their own. And in the "Best Song of the Year" and no matter the other two rap field and R&b field works, only to see the nomination of the other two country song "The House that Built Me" and "Beg Steal or Borrow", although in the rhythm of saliva level than "Need you Now, but in the song itselfThe lyrics and song meaning is more than a chip. And here again the Grammy is more and more inclined to commercial works, so combined with the protection of local country music and recognition of business works of the two major "purposes", the Grammy Awards are awarded to the "Need you Now" is not surprising.　　Against the current Chinese music and awards ceremony, when we can protect our own "country music"-folk songs, so that the new generation of listeners accepted, the Chinese people really want to think well.　　Although the Grammy is increasingly favored in many awards business work, but he still has his own set of rules, in the prediction of the development of the recording industry and guide the audience to choose these two basic principles, this pass class of the other two awards attribution gives the best answer. "Upset" to get "best Newcomer" of the American jazz singer Esperanza Spalding, in the previous prediction on this site has said, to carry this jazz unique rookie this is the biggest credit of the Grammy, this singer in today's United States can not find a lantern in the second, Is definitely a precious fossil. Although the commercial Esperanza Spalding almost without any success, but believe that after the Grammy, the talented jazz singer will definitely glow.　　It is also worth mentioning that this is the first Grammy in more than 50 years to the "Best New" award to jazz Singers. In the largest award "album of the Year," the attribution of alternative music finally to their own name: The Canadian independent band Arcade Fire as a representative of the alternative field, with last year's praise unanimously applauded the album "The Suburbs" to win the "annual album." Since the beginning of the 90, the development of alternative music, alternative and independent music has been more and more recognized by the public, although before Radiohead, Beck, The Smashing Pumpkins and the white Stripes has been nominated for this award with a reputation for praise and a heavy album in the history of music, but the end result has been to pass the trophy. This kind of creativity, for the development of the music industry reform, from their own weight and historical position, or from the future development of music is not, and to "old-fashioned" Grammy, the famous Grammys, this time also finally "innovation" a. From these years of alternative music products frequently, the momentum of creativity we can also see the Grammy this choice is also taking into account the development trend of the record industry.　　Even in business, the suburbs is not "cold", and this album is almost the highest-selling album in indie music last year. Mention alternative music in the Grammy scene of the wonderful performance, fine count from the virtual band Gorillaz and pop diva Madonna Dance, to Pioneer orchestra Radiohead led Symphony Orchestra Majestic atmosphere performance; from the White Stripes Cool Turn scene performance, to Gnarls Barkley "Crazy" blockbuster, are permanently recorded in the Grammy's classic list of performances. And in this Grammy, Arcade Fire is the finale, the hottest performance album of the Rock track "Month of May" and "Ready to Start", instantly detonated the scene. (Hydroxyindole cat)
