Chicago 1990

Song Ya knows Mariah Carey very well. When she talks about singing, her attention will be drawn to the past, such as the present.

"Your songs are not difficult to sing, show?off?that?body?you?got, you?got?that?dance,?glow?so?hot~" she hummed softly.

"Of course, my singing skills..."

Song Ya has made great progress in singing now, but in this life he doesn't have to expect to compare with each other.

"Aplus, Miss Kelly, here you are."

A publicist from Sony Columbia Records walked in to remind.

The two put on their coats and walked to the center of the stage under the escort of security personnel outside. The pianist and musician were already waiting, but the piano brand was changed from Steinway to Yamaha, and the big brand logo was printed on the side of the piano. His advertisement was very fierce, and the sponsorship of major performances was basically rounded up.

Bulletin board awards are calculated based on sales volume or a preset weight index. The Nielsen Company helps collect and analyze data. There is no room for manipulation. The award should belong to whom. This point has been controversial every year. Grammys are much fairer.

Of course, this award can only reflect who sells the most records each year, or who is the most popular, and Grammys must take into account the aspects of artistry and innovation.There is also an ama (National Music Awards). In the award mechanism, the weight of consumer votes is very large. Then it is time to have more fans than other fans (more action, more willing to spend money for idols), so it is controversial Sex is greater.

These three awards are the three major music awards recognized by the public. However, the billboard magazine has limited financial resources and is even inferior to the MTV Music and Television Awards held by MTV.The broadcaster of the awards show is also the less influential fox (Fox Broadcasting Company). This television network and 20th Century Fox Pictures were only acquired by the tycoon Mordoch a few years ago, and the 20th Century Fox is located in the top position in Hollywood. The film industry is different. In terms of television networks, Fox Broadcasting is still far behind abc, nbc and cbs, and Fox News is also far behind the above three and cuu.

Mariah Carey will be the big winner this year. Both the best female singer and best album awards are hers. Winning this award is also a good response to the doubt that she won the best female pop singer at the Grammy.

"Yeah!"

The grainless Song Ya is still in the stage of accumulating points. As the drum beat of the prelude rang, he raised his throat and shouted at the empty audience. The performance version is different from the official release version on the record. Add some interaction with the audience.

"Cheer!"

He raised his hands up and made a gesture to signal everyone to get up, "new york make some noise!"

The piano sounded, "I grew up in Chicago, and now I am walking in New York..." He began to recite.

The lyrics that have been sculpted for a long time are much higher than the original literary level, but Song Ya has to admit that the original singer’s self-boasting and realistic experience can better fit the theme and mobilize the audience’s emotions, and the original singer’s voice is better than Song Ya Mature, there is a kind of self-confidence and domineering low-level black people working hard all the way to the top.

All in all, Song Ya's version of lyrics is cleaner and younger than the original song, but it is much less appealing and impactful, and it is flatter and less angular.

"Tell by my attitude that i am most definitely from......"

He sang this, pointing at Mariah Carey, "in new york~"

When the other party's high-frequency sounds, it is pure enjoyment. After Song Ya's persistence, her singing method is not much different from the original singing, and her timbre is different, and her skills are better.

"One hand in the air for the big city......"

When she sang this, Song Ya moved closer, stepped on the beat with the dance steps she just learned, and the two looked at each other. She also sang and twisted her body while smiling, very tacitly, "put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah , Yeah, yeah, yeah~"

"E on! e on!" Song Ya waved to the audience again.

"New york, new york, new york..."

At the end of the last note, the two put down their hands holding the microphones, and the pianist applauded for the first time, and then Hayden, the assistant, the record company, and the organizer staff all cheered.

Song Ya played the whole set and paid tribute to everyone's curtain call, "It's just a rehearsal, we seem to be overstretching." He turned around and smiled at Mariah Carey.

"It feels coming." She was also very happy, and the worry that was troubled by public opinion between her eyebrows was gone.

"New york~"

Back in the backstage dressing room, she still hummed the lyrics, "Do you know? I sometimes feel that you wrote this song for me, especially the solo version. I grew up in New York and have seen it. The drunk fans here thought that I would be omnipotent..."

"It's just for you," Song Ya replied.

"Don't please me." She smiled, "Just like Roberto and others, you know everything to say to me, and I also know that you are not all because of me, but for Tommy's sake."

"So you noticed it." Song Ya secretly complained.

"Not to please, it was really written for you."

Song Ya said, "Remember? The day you got the Grammys, we were at the celebration dinner. Later, you drank a little bit. We chatted in the corner. You told me about your previous difficulties in life. After I got the Grammys, I felt like a queen in New York. At that time, I started to brew this song in my mind. The composition of this song and the words of this song were all determined at the time. ."

"Really?" Her face changed, staring into Song Ya's eyes, her expression getting more and more moved, tears faintly rolling in her eyes, "Really written for me?"

"Of course, why did I lie to you." Song Ya glanced at the female assistant who was talking to the staff outside here with her back at the door, and then boldly met her gaze.

"Thank you." She took the initiative to embrace, "Sometimes I feel that you know me better than Tommy."

"Uh……"

Song Ya felt the wonderful touch on her chest, his eyes moved to her red lips, and he raised his hand involuntarily, wanting to hug, no, he immediately thought of Motula, hug?Motura, hug?Motura...

During the battle between heaven and man, she suddenly disengaged and stepped back. "No? No..." She frowned and recalled: "You said this song was written for me, why did you give it to Tang later? Ni Breston sing?"

"Uh...this..." This question is really difficult to answer, Song Ya's mind is a little short-circuited.

"Huh? You lied to me just now, right!?"

"No, I'm telling the truth."

"If you want to be honest, then why do you give the song to Donnie?"

"Uh, didn't Walt say that you are not suitable for rap music..."

"What about the solo version?"

"Uh...this..."

"You are lying to me!"

"No, I swear I didn't."

"No, why should you give the song to Donnie?"

Well, I came back again. The woman was really terribly unreasonable. Song Ya clumsy left and right. In the end, she could only slap her on the arm for a few times.

The next day, the two gave a perfect performance at the awards party. The catch is that the organizers insisted on adding a thin jacket to Song Ya in the vest. These days, male singers cannot show more than female singers, which is inexplicable.

After staying in New York for a few days, Song Ya participated in the bmi awards ceremony as a bmi member. In this awards for songwriters and record production companies, he won the first and second heavyweight awards after crossing: Best newcomer composition and best hip-hop music composition.

There was no live performance for this professional seriousness award. Song Ya went on stage twice and received two hot stamping certificates wrapped in transparent plastic from the guests.

"Congratulations, aplus."

Motura also came, and Sony Columbia had also gained a lot. After the meeting, he invited Song Ya and Walter and other award winners in the company to dinner. He raised his wine glass and congratulated one by one, "cheers!"

"Cheers!"

During the harvest season, everyone was in a very good mood and raised their glasses frequently, but this occasion was not a time for conversation. Apart from congratulating remember the name for winning the billboard singles chart again, Motura had no other communication with him.

However, Song Ya couldn't take credit for that sentence last time, just have a tacit understanding with Motula.

During this period of time, the black DJ’s attacks on Mariah Carey ceased. The black DJs of the middle and lower classes did not mention it. The well-known white DJs in the upper class did not dare to offend Motula too much. The radio station, one of the main gossips, died down. The turmoil has finally subsided, and the media began to chase the next hot spot.

"Look at the news."

Back to the hotel room, Hayden was already waiting there.

"Do you know? I'm most afraid of others saying this to me. Generally speaking, something bad will happen." Song Ya complained.

The TV screen is an unknown station logo. It should be a small local TV station in New York. "According to the British media, the queen Mariah Carey has refused her sister's request for help several times, which led to her living in trouble to cope with economic difficulties. Leah Kelly’s stinginess and unfeelingness have been discussed intensely, and there are current opinions from all sides, such as..."

"What do you mean? It's endless? There are so many big things happening in the world, but it's trivial to hold on to the celebrities, what's the matter with that British media?"

Song Ya couldn't imagine a thing that could not be confirmed at all (Mariah Carey had officially clarified the money several times, but her sister did not admit it), she could be disturbed by the push hand behind her, and she was so angry that she would shut down the TV. "This is still the new queen of Sony Columbia. If I encounter this kind of slander in the future, I will definitely have no idea."

"Exporting first and then selling domestically is also a common slander."

Hayden laughed and said, “First, the foreign media broke the news, and then the domestic media'cited' it. This not only can avoid responsibility well, but also give the public an illusion that it is already a fact. After all, the general perception of the public is something. Now that even foreigners know it, 80% of them can't be faked. Moreover, TV stations have more credibility than tabloids and radio stations..."

"Hey, this world is too dangerous, there are traps everywhere." Song Ya couldn't help sighing.
