Recently, the list of the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, which has attracted much attention, was released. It was supposed to be a music event, but as the awards ceremony progressed, a video of Ukrainian President Želyan Zelens suddenly appeared on the live screen, calling for music to fill the silence. This matter quickly fermented on the Internet, and also cast a layer of political putch on the original simple music awards ceremony.
As we all know, the Grammy Awards are awards in the music category sponsored by the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences in 1958. Note the point of this sentence, which is dominated by the United States. Recently, Russia and Ukraine are in a state of war, and the United States is ostensibly supporting Ukraine, which is intended to create trouble and instability for Russia to seek arms benefits.
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy's video appearance at the Grammy Awards became the biggest joke in the industry, and Zelenskiy became the most comedic clown under the Americans. It is often said that music knows no borders and that music has nothing to do with politics. The Grammy Awards allowed Zelenskiy to appear in the form of a video, which is itself a low-level political means, and it is natural to cause public scorn and resistance.
With the advancement and development of Internet technology, more and more musicians can publish their original musical works through self-media. Among these works, many of them are high-quality works. Due to the lack of agency packaging and compliant distribution, such musical works can only be circulated online. The musical works and musicians selected by the Grammy Awards, from the perspective of the works themselves, are similar to the level of some musical works circulating on the Internet, and even have a certain gap.
In the editor's view, music is the wealth of all mankind, do not let the putrid smell pollute this pure land. Do you think the same way in front of the screen? Leave a message in the comment area to tell the editor.
