The Grammy Award was established "for the sake of saving real music"

The end of the fifties. 20th century. The newly created National American Academy of Sound Recording states a glaring fact of the predominance and growing popularity of rock and roll. And not only among young people. If this goes on and on, then look, this "nedomuzyka" will displace real works of musical art from scenes, souls and minds. It is necessary to do something! Very urgent!

Concerns of musical academicians and became the root cause of the emergence of a prestigious musical award, which was nominated for the best, and presented with the best of the best - superstars.

This modern "Grammy" award has become more loyal: rappers, rockers, and alternative music performers (God, what Sinatra would say !!!) can get, only rock musicians who were not loved by rock'n'roll players again were left without a category.

History of the award and its title

Born in the form of the idea of the struggle "for true music" (it was in 1958 when the world went crazy with fluffy skirts, "kok" hairstyles and energetic "spinning" dances - that is, all the attributes of rock and roll) The prize fell on the anniversary. During this period, 80 years have passed since the invention of the gramophone.

And what is there to think about - a statuette in the form of a gilded gramophone, and the name is a match - the Grammy award. Sounds!

But to get it, the singers needed to sound themselves. And how to sound! Not only in terms of the famous name, but also in terms of undeniable talent.

Nominations in the early years were not so much - only 22, so it was very difficult to deserve the Grammy award ceremony.

Grammy is like an Oscar. Only in music

All musicians of the world, nominated and not nominated for the Grammys, are waiting for the ceremony with special trepidation and impatience. Well, the nominees are understandable. There is no such nominee who would not dream of becoming a laureate.

And the rest - to assess the level of skill of colleagues, determine their strength: whether there is a chance to reach the same heights, how many to do this, and whether the peaks are so high.

For citizens who are not related to musical art, the Grammy award ceremony is simply a spectacle.

By its structure, script, invited guests, matches, the venue of the "Grammy" great reminds the famous "Oscar", which was born about thirty years earlier.

The same Los Angeles, the same scene, the same room, the same excitement before opening the envelope, the same heart-rending speech: "Thank God, my parents and my brilliant producer ..."

Slightly cloned. But people like it.

What is more important: music or a dress?

This is a question of questions! A dilemma that the nominees (especially the nominees) and invited people can not decide for themselves. The Grammy Award, as, indeed, any other event, always becomes an excellent occasion to showcase your updated and very expensive wardrobe.

During the mandatory photo shoot against the backdrop of the event's logo, you can easily kill two birds with one stone, demonstrating your involvement in the art of music, and a new designer dress.

The current ceremony was dominated by the red and black colors of ladies' evening dresses, and, of course, some of the nakedness, and a little outrageous.

Laureates-record holders

The youngest laureate of the award in 1996 was the fourteen-year-old Lianne Rimes in the nomination "Best New Artist".

The group "Led Zeppelin" distinguished herself by being awarded a Grammy 25 years after the collapse of the musical team. The nomination, which was awarded to now scattered musicians, was called "For Life Achievements".

A peculiar record of disobedience and obstinacy was shown by Irishman Sinead O'Connor. When the singer was presented in as many as four categories, she publicly announced that the Grammy Award was a destructive bullshit. And when in the end she still won in one of the categories and became officially recognized as the best performer of alternative music, she did not even appear to take the well-deserved award.

The absolute record holder of the Grammy was the blind performer Stevie Wonder - he deserved all his 28 gramophones with undoubted talent to sing and live.

Who won this year?

Laureates, who presented the main musical night of this year with wings and statuettes, are many.

Among them: Deimes Napier, Miranda Lambert, Jack White, Kendrick Lamar and the bright Eminem and Rihanna.

But more than all the rest, luck this year smiled singer Beyonce, Sam Smith and Farrell Williams.

These three performers were nominated in six categories and took away with the ceremony the greatest number of figurines-gramophones.

But even among these three, the Academy of Music singled out the absolute champion. Four premium statuettes went to Sam Smith, as the best new performer, as well as for the best record, song and pop album of the year.

As always, the ceremony was not without eminent guests: the most scandalous and one of the most talented performers, Madonna, presented her solo program to the court of colleagues and spectators, and Rihanna organized a trio with Paul McCartney and Kanye Wats.
