Capítulo 265: Chapter 262: Grammy Drama
Oops! I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
It's 2010, and this year's Grammy Awards are bigger, with more shows and 84 awards to be given out. When Link finished changing and returned to the scene, Britney Spears, along with a dozen hot dancers, was performing her signature song "Oops! I Did It Again" on stage.
In addition to Britney, top singers and bands like Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, the Backstreet Boys, and Westlife will also be performing.
This is also a tribute to the musicians of the past decade.
"Link, why are you so late? The Best Male Pop Vocal Performance award is about to be announced." Selena called out.
"So long? It's only been twenty minutes." Link said, looking at his watch.
"Sit down quickly, the camera is coming over." Taylor shouted.
Because it's the Lakers' arena, the area is too large, CBS has arranged eight camera positions on site, and each time it can only capture a small area, which also gives the singers more time to move around, otherwise, a three-and-a-half-hour evening party could make many people sick.
After Link sat down, the award ceremony came to a more attention-grabbing part, pop, rock, and rap.
But his luck seemed to have been transferred to Beyoncé along with the exercise earlier, he didn't get a single award, while Beyoncé won five in a row.
In the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance category, he lost to Jason Mraz's "Make It Mine."
In the Best Rock Song category, he lost to Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody."
In the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration category, his collaboration with Wiz Khalifa, Mars, and Bobby Ray on "I'm the One" lost to Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye's "Run This Town."
Even more surprisingly, in the Best Rap Song category, he lost again to Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye's "Run This Town."
There were five songs nominated for this award:
"See You Again," "Run This Town," Drake's "Best I Ever Had," T.I. and Justin Timberlake's "Dead and Gone," and Jay-Z's "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)."
Last year, after MJ's death, "See You Again" became a global hit, selling over 55 million copies worldwide, ranking 15th on the all-time singles sales chart.
No song in the past decade can compare to its popularity.
Its influence also spread around the world with MJ, everyone can hum a few lines.
It can be called a divine song.
But such a song failed to win Link a Grammy Award.
When Diddy announced on stage that the winner of the Best Rap Song award was "Run This Town," there was a buzz of discussion in the audience.
"Mr. Kuna, did you make a move?" In front of the TV, Scooter looked at Mr. Kuna in surprise.
"A little goodwill."
Kuna Jr. swirled his wine glass, looking at the TV, the CBS camera zoomed in on Link's face, Link shrugged, pretending to be indifferent, he snorted softly.
"Mr. Kuna, your public relations skills are amazing." Scooter raised his glass in admiration.
Kuna Jr. pursed his thin lips, revealing a smug chuckle.
"Call me Reed!"
"Okay, Reed!"
Scooter laughed, his body relaxed a little, and said in a friendly voice, "Reed, you're so amazing, if you want, you can definitely take away all of Link's awards, let him go 8 for 0, that would be so cool, why not do it?"
Kuna Jr. shook his head and said softly: "Link and Ivanka are not simple people, you can't be too hasty in dealing with them. Link was undoubtedly the newcomer of the year in the music industry last year, far surpassing other musicians who debuted at the same time. If he doesn't get this award, the fairness of the Grammy Awards will be questioned, and the Grammy jury won't agree.
Also, the Producer of the Year award is given to the production team of 'Unstoppable,' not just to Link alone. Besides, this award has the least impact on the sales of Link's two albums, and it can also silence the fans.
That's why I let Link get these two awards."
"Reed, you've considered everything so thoroughly, I should learn from you." Scooter raised his glass and smiled.
Kuna Jr. smiled slightly and clinked glasses with him.
"Learn from each other!"
On TV, after Diddy announced the winning song, Jay-Z, Kanye, and Rihanna walked onto the stage and each received a gramophone trophy.
"Hey, Link Baker, you celebrated too early, this award is mine." Kanye laughed, holding up the trophy.
"Kanye! You're the best!"
"Jay-Z, forever the king of rap!"
"Rihanna, I love you!"
Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and others cheered loudly with their fans.
Last year, they were embarrassed by Link's few songs on the rap charts.
But today at the Grammy Awards, they regained their lost face, this unexpected surprise is worth celebrating.
"Haha, this is a great night, thank you Grammy Awards!" Kanye and Jay-Z shouted, raising their trophies.
Clap clap clap!
There was applause and cheers from the audience.
"Link, don't be sad, you're still young, there are many opportunities to win awards in the future."
"Yes, I understand, I'm not sad."
"Link, 'See You Again' is the best, we support you!"
"Thank you! Let's cheer together!" Link smiled gently. In fact, not getting this award didn't mean much to him. Being nominated for 8 Grammys and winning 2, the winning probability wasn't low.
What embarrassed him was that after he didn't win the award, the singers around him who were close to him all comforted him and looked at him with regretful eyes, as if in everyone's heart, he should be very disappointed at this time, like a child who didn't get cake at a birthday party.
Another thing that embarrassed him was that the CBS camera was pointed at his face for more than a minute. Even if he were an actor, he wouldn't know what expression to maintain during this minute to avoid misinterpretation.
Expressionless?
Smile?
Daydream?
Link simply ignored it and chatted with Taylor and Selena.
"Link, are you very sad?" Selena blinked her big round eyes and looked at him with sympathy, as if she could empathize with him.
"Not sad, really not sad."
"Don't pretend, you must be very sad, look, you're not even smiling?"
"Shut up! I'm really not sad."
"Look! You're not only sad but also angry, you want to hit someone, why don't you hit me? Maybe that will make you feel better."
Selena tensed her small round face, biting her lower lip, with a foolish look of resignation.
Link was speechless, he flicked her forehead lightly, Selena cried out, pretending to be shot, and fell on the chair.
Link chuckled and looked at the four trophies in Taylor's arms, including Album of the Year, Best Female Country Vocal Performance, Best Country Album, and Best Country Song. This was the first time Taylor had won a Grammy, and she held the four trophies in her arms, cherishing them like a child.
"Do you want me to help you hold one?" He remembered that Taylor seemed to have too many to hold during the photo session, and accidentally dropped one and broke it.
"No! They're all mine." Taylor hugged the four trophies and said happily.
"Okay, don't blame me if you lose one, as your boyfriend, I'm not doing my job."
Taylor thought for a moment and put a gramophone in his arms.
"Here's one to comfort you!"
"Thank you! You're so kind." Link smiled gently and saw Selena watching the fun, so he piled all the trophies in her arms and let her hold them all.
Selena rolled her eyes at him, muttered "You only know how to bully me," and then happily looked at the three trophies to see what was different.
After the rap category awards were presented, the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance award was announced.
The nominees for this award were Adele's "Hometown Glory," Beyoncé's "Halo," Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold," P!nk's "Sober," and Taylor's "You Belong With Me."
In the end, the winner was Beyoncé, this was her sixth trophy at this year's Grammy Awards, 10 nominations and 6 wins, setting a new Grammy record.
"Hey, Link, I bet you'll never win this award." Beyoncé, wearing a sexy red dress, after finishing her acceptance speech on stage, shook the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance award at Link with a seductive smile on her face.
Her words caused a burst of laughter at the scene, Link is a man, of course he can't win this award.
Everyone also remembered that Link had said this to Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and others when he won the Producer of the Year award earlier.
Beyoncé's words seemed to be a joke, but they were also teasing Link, helping Kanye, Lil Wayne, and others to save face.
"Beyoncé, you said it perfectly."
"Beyoncé, you're my goddess!"
"Long live Queen Beyoncé!"
Kanye, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Drake, and others laughed, Kanye and a few others even lay on the ground, bowing in Beyoncé's direction.
"Bitch!" Selena puffed up her cheeks and cursed angrily.
"Don't swear!"
"Aren't you angry?"
"Not angry!"
"Hmph, Link, you're good at everything, but you're too kind, people like you will suffer in the entertainment industry." Selena said earnestly.
"Don't worry, I have you, you'll definitely help me." Link chuckled.
Selena blinked her big eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.
When Beyoncé returned to the audience, Jay-Z nodded at her, a smile appearing on his dark face.
"You did well just now!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Beyoncé smiled slightly, listening to the compliments from Kanye and others, she smoothed her skirt and sat down gently on the chair, but as soon as she sat down, a hint of ambiguous pain appeared between her eyebrows, a blush crept onto her cheeks, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan, she gently closed her long legs and bit her lower lip.
"What's wrong?" Rihanna asked from the side.
"I twisted my ankle while dancing." Beyoncé brushed the long hair by her ear and leaned gently against the chair, occasionally glancing at the tall figure in a suit in front of her from the corner of her eye, feeling a thrill in her heart and body.
