What is the award ceremony that best represents the highest level of European and American music?

Grammy is a homophonic variant of English phonograph. The music award named after it has a history of more than 60 years, and its trophy is shaped like an old phonograph.

From 65438 to 0957, a group of musicians and record company managers in Los Angeles proposed to create an organization representing the art and science of music products, through which talented musicians, singers and behind-the-scenes music producers were encouraged. The National recording arts and Science Association (Recording Association for short) and Grammy Music Awards were born. The first Grammy Music Award was awarded in 1958. Since then, the Recording Society has held an award ceremony once a year, and the number of awards has increased from 26 at the beginning to 10 1 in 28 categories.

Although the Grammy Music Award is an award of the American recording industry, it has now become one of the most influential music awards in the world. Grammy in music is like Oscar in film. Although there is no doubt that they are all branded with American culture, most musicians all over the world are still proud to hold this old phonograph.

Grammy can be talked about by musicians all over the world, except that the United States has always been the center of global pop music and represents a higher level of pop music for three reasons.

The first is its authority. The Recording Association of America is an organization composed of many experienced musicians. It has established 12 regional chapters and a producer and engineer chapter all over the United States, and currently has more than10,000 members. Singers, performers, lyricists, composers, conductors, photographers, lyricists and music video producers can all apply to serve as judges, but only those who have published at least six works are eligible for this position. People who have no real talent and practical learning, and lack persistent pursuit of music, generally can't enter the judges. The jury composed of so many senior professionals will naturally be trusted by music lovers.

The second is fairness. There are very strict rules and procedures for the selection of Grammy Music Awards. Recommended works must be selected from the works of the year. After the works are recommended, they must first be screened by 150 experts from various fields in the music industry, and then classified. Except for the works that need to be voted by the Special Nomination Committee, all the works that pass the primary election must be submitted to the judges for the first round of voting. However, each judge can only choose nine projects that he is good at to vote. Of course, they also have to vote for four awards: album of the year, album of the year, song of the year and new artist of the year. After the initial evaluation, the list will be submitted to the judges for a second round of voting. In addition to the four basic awards, each judge can only choose eight awards to vote. These strict measures effectively ensure the fairness of the selection.

The third is its extensive influence. Grammy awards were not famous at first, but TV helped a lot. Television not only turned the original rigid Grammy Awards ceremony into a colorful music program, but also greatly improved the international popularity of the Grammy Awards by broadcasting it live to the whole world. A large number of European and American pop stars performed on stage, coupled with the stage art and technical means that Americans are good at using, making the Grammy Awards Ceremony a popular entertainment activity all over the world. The 44th Grammy Awards Gala held in February this year attracted about1700,000 viewers from 70 countries around the world. The Grammy Awards ceremony went global, which made great contributions to the Grammy Music Awards being widely accepted by musicians all over the world.

The Grammy-winning works are obviously not the product of hype by a few people or boasting by record companies, but are selected by experts and strict procedures. The high quality of these works and the rendering of TV not only make the winners popular and the records sell well, but also really play a leading role in the music trend. On the other hand, judges are also consumers and will naturally be affected by the market. Of course, best-selling records, popular singers and popular movie songs are also the easiest to enter their field of vision.

In addition to the Grammy Music Awards, the Recording Society of America has successively set up Lifetime Achievement Awards, Board Awards and Grammy Hall of Honor to commend people and works with outstanding achievements and long-term historical value, including those who are not included in the Grammy Awards and those who are buried in history. For example, 22 years after his death, the black singer Robertson won the lifetime achievement award with 1998. The Recording Society of America also actively participates in trademark legislation, intellectual property protection, cracking down on piracy, digital music download litigation and other undertakings involving the rights and interests of record companies and individuals, and actively advocates artistic exchange and music education. The Grammy Foundation also helps musicians in difficulty and supports young people to join the ranks of musicians.

All Grammy Awards are awarded by representatives elected by Recording Society every year to those who have made outstanding contributions to recording arts and technology. The difference between Grammy Award and other awards is that the evaluation of all his awards is not affected by sales volume and ranking, but depends entirely on his contribution to technology and art.

The annual Grammy Awards can also be regarded as a grand event, which attracts all the best music and record professionals in the world. In addition to the traditional Grammy awards, the Record Association also awards other auxiliary awards. These awards make up for some gaps in the Grammy Awards, but similarly, although there are some complementary flavors, those who can win these awards are outstanding talents who have made outstanding contributions to the recording industry and music. These awards include Lifetime Achievement Award, Best Grammy Award for Science and Technology and Grammy Legend Award.

This music event, which has attracted the most attention and discussion in the world for more than 40 years, was organized by the National recording arts Institute &; Sponsored by Sciences Inc (NARAS for short), the biggest feature of Grammy Awards is that there is a huge selection committee organization. This year, the number has increased to more than12,000, and the members are all music practitioners. Many judges get rid of the subjectivity of a few people, and this professionalism also improves the credibility of the Grammy Awards. Selecting Grammy winners requires complicated steps:

Founded in May, 1959, it attracts the attention of hundreds of millions of fans around the world every year and has the reputation of "Music Oscar". Although the Grammy Music Award is an award of the American recording industry, it has now become one of the most influential music awards in the world. Grammy in music is like Oscar in film. Although there is no doubt that they are all branded with American culture, most musicians all over the world are still proud to hold this old phonograph. The Grammy Awards Gala is usually held at Kodak Theatre on February 8th every year.

Grammy award selection process

1. nomination: all members recommend excellent audio publications (including music videos) in the specified year (September of the previous year to September of the following year). However, due to the large number of records released each year, in order to avoid the regret of the legacy, record companies can also recommend some neglected works by their artists to Grammy. Joan Osborne's "relish" was widely concerned with the support of record companies in previous years.

2. At this stage, the nominated works are classified according to their different musical attributes, such as rock, country, Latin and classical. At this time, we can't make any artistic and technical judgments, but simply find a home for the nominated works. Grammy's classification standard is very suitable for those fans who have doubts about the method of distinguishing music factions.

Third, the shortlist and classified nomination list shall be submitted to the special committees selected by each branch for shortlisting, and all other items shall be submitted to the members of the college for the first round of voting. Moreover, in order to ensure the quality of voting, members can only choose 9 categories from 22 categories to vote. Of course, the four categories (album of the year, album of the year, song of the year and artist of the year) need to be decided by all members.

4. In the second round of voting, more than 9,000 members will select 8 categories (plus 4 general categories) from 27 categories, and vote for 5 finalists in each category. The voting results will be sent to Deloitte. Statistics of Tushi LLP accounting firm.

5. The winners will be awarded by Deloitte &; Tush LLP accounting firm kept it and kept it secret until the day of the award ceremony.

Award-winning conditions

Although Grammy awards strive to be fair and objective, they will leave traces when passed by, and the trend of winning awards can still be predicted for 40 years.

The theme of health "album of the year" and "song of the year" is best related to "love" and "faith", such as "I will love you forever"; Full of hope for life, such as Evergreen Tree and We Are the World; You can miss your loved ones, such as "Tears in Heaven" and "Never Forget"; Encourage people to pursue happiness, such as "somewhere"; Or the courage to reverse disadvantages, such as "changing the world" and other positive meanings, the above themes are more likely to be affirmed, which is also the reason why the early Rolling Stones and Madonna will be excluded.

The market must take this year as an example. Five "albums of the year" are the top 20 works in the Billboard chart, and five "songs of the year" are all on-demand favorites. The winners of the album of the year in the past ten years include four chart champions and four chart runners-up, as well as a top five work. After all, the judges are also part of the consumer audience. Based on this complementary role, once the finalists or winners of Grammy awards are reported by the media, they will often be immediately reflected in the soaring record sales.

There are too many examples of matching movies, which are widely recognized by Grammy because of their exposure. In the past ten years, eight "songs of the year" were also the theme songs or episodes of movies.

There are two kinds of impressions, one is the veteran who won the Grammy, and the other is the rookie who won the prize last time. As long as the new works are not too bad (not to mention the newcomers who are affirmed by Grammy, who usually have a proud business performance in the coming year), Grammy will try to keep a good seat for them.

Games with detailed rules can only be played for a long time, and the four major awards in the American entertainment industry (Grammy for Music, Oscar for Film, Tony Award for Stage and Amy Award for TV) all meet this requirement. On February 2 1 day, the media all over the world will be keen to play the game "guess who will come to the Grammy dinner"; When we sat on the sofa and distinguished the familiar or unfamiliar sounds from the FM broadcast of the music station, the biggest winner that night should be Grammy himself.
