<p>过去几年的Grammy对我来说有太多的回忆，恐怕是一直要如此了。</p>
<p>Taylor Swift的Fearless是我2009年唯一写过乐评的一张专辑，刚刚获了52届格莱美奖年度最佳专辑（Album Of The Year），下面放出乐评原文。由于当时是国内首次引进，所以专辑基本上也包括了她首张专辑的主打曲（相当于美国后来出的Plantium版）。而彼时写稿基调是比较官方的，所以下面基本上都是褒奖。当时我只是耳闻这张专辑有多么火却从没认真听过，然而写完下面这篇乐评时已经反复听了十几遍，出乎意料地彻底喜欢上了Fearless。</p>
<p>虽然有时候也觉得甜的腻歪，但听久了耍酷扮潮、凄冷的、狂躁的音乐觉得再听下Fearless其实也是一种心灵的洗涤。Taylor Swift有才华有长相有身高（1米8啊，汗），更有商业头脑，很会迎合保守美国人的心理。可以比较一下当年Avril Lavigne第三张专辑里的主打Girlfriend和TS今年很火的一首歌You Belong With Me，几乎是同样的主题——AL是比较punk和反叛的，而TS则巧妙地运用了老少皆宜欢天喜地的country风格，家长巴不得自己子女天天听这种单纯天真向上的teenager歌呢！</p>
<p>顺便一说，本专辑我最喜欢的的是Change和Hey Stephen. 本专辑白金版<a href="http://www.douban.com/subject/discussion/21318529/" target="_blank">下载在此</a>。</p>

</ol>
<blockquote><p><strong>《Fearless》放声歌唱的金色年华</strong><br />
2009年7月，国内市场引进了一张多国销量创白金、突破数字时代下载记录的唱片。14岁便以最年轻词曲创作人身份签约才女Taylor Swift带着个人第二张录音室专辑Fearless横扫全球音乐市场，一经发行便空降Billboard冠军并蝉联11周，在乡村榜上更是占据第一宝座24周之久——而此时她才只有19岁。</p>
<p>这个甜美清新、响亮自信的声音，把还沉浸在愤世嫉俗的摇滚、重节奏夜店舞曲和靡靡文艺小调里冷酷的耳朵们唤醒了。同名歌曲《Fearless》一开场便直入人心，自主的声音和奋不顾身的气势为专辑定下主线。在大多数同龄人扮成熟学深沉的时候，Taylor自己谱曲填词的活泼又纯朴的乡村曲风反而让她脱颖而出，取得了意想不到的效果。</p>
<p>早在9月，首张单曲《Love Story》就已经闯了个开门红，为整张专辑的火热贩售做好了铺垫。轻轻拨动的班卓琴和吉他和旋缓缓开场，《Love Story》以第一人称讲述了花季少女的青春萌动。乡村叙事手法和清新的画面感让听众对这禁忌而浪漫的爱恋感同身受：舞会人群里走过来打招呼的对方，深夜花园里的秘密幽会，她渴望得到对方的回应，她无所顾虑，她乞求和爱人一起远走他乡——发自内心的激烈情感由逐渐加重的摇滚编曲体现出来。《红字》的典故和父亲阻挠让矛盾升温，可青春的叛逆和固执让她仍然坚持自己的声音。与几年前Vanessa Calton相似主题的歌曲《Who&#8217;s To Say》不同的是，《Love Story》是一个快乐的故事。在最后这迫不及待而又进退两难的关键时，曲调突然升高，男主角拔出戒指给出肯定答复，歌曲在欢快淋漓的小提琴音中结束——再次体现出她不凡的词曲创作实力。</p>
<p>诚然，童话式的MV里王子、城堡和公主的情节会有点过于甜美，但与专辑里大多数歌如《Our Song》，《Hey Stephen》的基调一样，对自由的渴望和个性的释放唱出广大青少年歌迷的心声，让早已过了她年纪的听众也回忆起酸酸甜甜的青葱岁月来。同样美满结局《You Belong With Me》的MV一年后也获得了MTV VMA大奖的女歌手最佳音乐录影带。</p>
<p>而青春除了甜蜜外自然也少不了青涩和苦恼。和MySpace人气创作才女Colbie Caillat合作的《Breathe》以及《You&#8217;re Not Sorry》、《White Horse》则是动人伤感的舒缓小调，穿插于昂扬的快歌中使专辑更加丰富饱满。</p>
<p>其实2008年8月时，还未发行的专辑中就有首鼓舞励志的《Change》被选入了美国代表团的奥运歌辑而得以面世。而后奥巴马的竞选口号“改变”给低迷的美国注入了一支强心针，11月时大势已定恰逢《Fearless》发行，《Change》便成为人们当时表达心声的突破口。Taylor富有穿透力的声音带领随后的单曲也一路飚红，辑中6首都打入Billboard热榜，到09年2月《Love Story》突破300万次下载，成为史上付费下载次数最多的乡村歌曲。</p>
<p>08年格莱美最佳新人的提名和作为嘉宾的颁奖仅仅是一个更光明前途的开始。到09年时，Taylor Swift已经在格莱美颁奖典礼会场中央抱着木吉他更年轻的青春偶像Miley Cyrus一起清唱Fifteen了（之后还颁奖给了Robert Plant和乡村蓝草乐前辈Alison Krauss）。年纪轻轻的她一路走来已为Tim McGraw、Faith Hill 、Brad Paisley和Rascal Flatts等响当当的乡村音乐前辈暖场表演过多次。</p>
<p>9月VMA音乐录影带获奖后和说唱歌手Kanye West的一段插曲让她得到了更多的支持和肯定，连总统奥巴马也出来骂Kanye West不是，当然这是后话。年纪轻轻的她虽然有些不谙世事，但阅历的不足却并不能对她的音乐创作产生丝毫阻碍。Taylor从小就开始写诗歌、爱唱卡拉OK，生活中随手拈来便是一个个故事和一曲曲灵感，可谓深得乡村音乐的真传。而Fearless专辑里恰到好处点缀的摇滚和流行的元素又展现了种种的青春悸动，一扫大家对“俗气”乡村音乐的顾虑。难怪这张专辑成功在金融危机下重写排行榜历史并且仍然在刷新记录。</p>
<p>至此Taylor Swift已成为Billboard上榜最久的女歌手，用实力证明了自己不仅仅是个后起之秀。她谱写的童话松开了许许多多紧锁的眉头，唤起了大家心中率性和真挚，让我们想起应该走出蹉跎去放手争取、尽情体验这金色的年华。</p>
<p>无所畏惧放歌青春，这就是简单快乐的真谛。</p></blockquote>

<p>今年的Grammy，没啥意思，除了下面这个公开的对话以外。<br />
John Mayer 09, Feb. 2008 on <a href="http://www.johnmayer.com/battlestudies/" target="_blank">JohnMayer.com</a></p>
<blockquote><p>I think Jason Mraz wrote, recorded and SANG one of the best songs of 2008, and I hope this makes it back to him&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Jason Mraz 15, Feb. 2008 on <a href="http://www.jasonmraz.com/#/journal/" target="_blank">JasonMraz.com</a></p>
<blockquote><p>And as for the Best Male Pop Vocal Awesomeness. I&#8217;d like to acknowledge John Mayer for being so generous with his gifts in music, but also for being so outspoken regarding his admiration for I&#8217;m Yours. I am blessed just to participate in music, but even more blessed to do so at a time when  the music community is so loving and encouraging. Thank you John. It&#8217;s a great honor to be recognized by ones peers. You deserve every bit of acclaim thats out there. Hope to see you and your giant heart on the road again soon.</p></blockquote>
<p>这才是我爱音乐的原因嘛，呵呵。</p>

<p>CD 1 The <strong>Rockin&#8217;</strong> Record &#8211; Workin&#8217; On A Big Chill<br />
这张有点Eagles去掉沧桑之感，或者说是Rascal Flatts那种潇洒饱满的感觉。鼓的节奏稍重，点缀了不少电吉他音，典型的rockabily（乡村摇滚）。</p>
<p><a href="http://lucyinsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/these-days-cd-2-the-groovy-record-the-reason-why.jpg" class="lightview"><img src="http://lucyinsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/these-days-cd-2-the-groovy-record-the-reason-why.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="179" width="200" /></a><br />
CD 2 The <strong>Groovy</strong> Record &#8211; The Reason Why<br />
看到老式的红色高跟鞋了吗？对，这张就是讲和女人有关滴罗曼史，是四张中唯一13首歌的（其他都是10首），并且整套专辑的名字“These Days”就是出自此张最后一首。多半是和女声duet的爱情歌曲，节奏稍缓，非常悦耳舒畅。Grammy提名时和走上台时放的音乐都是其中的主打歌The Reason Why——难得的三拍歌曲再点缀一点Jazz式的钢琴过度，加上Alison Krauss动人的背景和声，听起来那是只可意会的享受啊。[Listen to audio on original post from http://LucyInSite.com]<br />
唱的是什么reason？romance还有别的原因吗？L-O-V-E呗！后面还有一首Faint Of Heart是和Diana Krall对唱的，可以想像那钢琴老爵士是多么的浪漫~呼呼~现如今到哪里去找这么纯粹的经典。<br />
<a href="http://lucyinsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/these-days-cd-3-the-country-western-record-some-things-never-get-old.jpg" class="lightview"><img src="http://lucyinsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/these-days-cd-3-the-country-western-record-some-things-never-get-old.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="179" width="200" /></a></p>
<p>CD 3 The <strong>Country &amp; Western</strong> Record &#8211; Some Things Never Get Old<br />
封面的点唱机（收音机？）和酒杯酒瓶暗示出浓浓honky-tonk味儿，一看就是乡村酒吧了，fiddle等等常规乡村乐器都操练了起来。近几年某些乡村乐像Shania Twain和Carrie Underwood这种都向pop靠拢，俗了。这张里有首歌<strong>Take This Country Back</strong> 讲的就是回归:&#8221;When we all gather up in Heaven /How we gonna face the man in black /We got to take this country back&#8221;。</p>
<p>CD 4  The <strong>Acoustic</strong> Record &#8211; Little Brother<br />
准备感受最正统的乡村吧，因为原声乐器就是这张的主角。首曲欢快的班卓琴让你感受乡村最重要的元素——蓝草（bluegrass），领略一下什么才叫真正的乡村乐器演奏，什么才叫真正的乡村乐。<br />
<a href="http://lucyinsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/these-days-cd-4-the-acoustic-record-little-brother.jpg" class="lightview"><img src="http://lucyinsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/these-days-cd-4-the-acoustic-record-little-brother.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="179" width="200" /></a></p>
<p>最后再看看余温未尽的Grammy。These Days<strong>获得年度专辑[Album Of The Year]</strong>提名和最佳乡村专辑<strong>[Best Country Album]</strong>。Vince拿奖的时候非常诚恳谦虚，speech简短有力:&#8221;I&#8217;ve just gotten the award given to me by a Beatle. Have you had that happen yet, Kanye? &#8230; Just kidding&#8230; I have a lot of people to thank, this was amazing project for me. It took a year outta my life&#8230;Over a hundred musicians, singers, artists and songwriters help contribute to this and it proved to me once again that <strong>music is the real place where democracy lives. Every note is equal.</strong> God bless.&#8221; 对Beatles致敬顺便调侃Kanye，大家可以一看video:</p>
<p align="center"><object width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.tudou.com/v/8yGW5v8wuyE"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.tudou.com/v/8yGW5v8wuyE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>　　今天想了想为什么我总要介绍音乐。这么说吧，我仍然怀着当初见人就提Avril Lavigne一样的信仰，觉得把一些不太被人们关注的好音乐传播开来是一种幸福，是对有天赋又勤恳工作的艺人所投入心血的回报。可能有些音乐人的声音还不够响亮，没有被更多人发现，那么我当然愿意来为大家发掘更多好音乐，这样也能在第一时间感受到其魅力。好音乐值得介绍啊，特别是缺少传播和分享的传统、经典音乐。如果某天Vince Gill像Avril现在这样大红大紫那传统音乐就后继有人不用愁了。</p>
<p>其实，我再怎么说这是landmark这是milestone都没用，这只有大家自己一听才能了解。就像我在<a href="http://www.last.fm/music/vince+gill" target="_blank">Vince冷清的Last.fm页面</a>说的一样，If you don&#8217;t listen to [These Days], it&#8217;s your loss.</p>

<p>总结一下今年的Grammy。先看图解馋吧，看完了你要觉得“我好想看啊！” 就去BT或者骡子拖下来看。所有提名及最终获奖者参考官网Grammy Nominations and Winners List。</p>
<p>Alicia Keys，惊艳。没人能一次Grammy出来前后表演两次，传统与R&#38;B由两个完全不同的造型表现出来。</p>
<p style="text-align: center"></p>
<p align="center">传统是指和Frank Sinatra的黑白录影对唱，绝啊。</p>
<p style="text-align: center"></p>
<p>在AK自己大碟因为发行时间晚了而没有入选的情况下，凭No One唯一单曲把仅有的两个提名都兑现收入了囊中。R&#38;B就是自己的No One了，在John Mayer旁边显得好娇小啊。可惜JM只露了一下脸，弹了两下吉他吼了两句，基本听不到他发出的任何包括乐器在内的声音——AK的声音是你一小伙子能盖过的？JM是越来越像Johnny Depp了。</p>

<p align="left">Feist深知acoustic最有吸引力啊， 本场最灵歌曲非1,2,3,4莫属。Nano和Feist在2007年互相捧红，一首欢快的歌变身成原声木吉他美妙伴奏的短小精干小曲儿。虽然四个提名均未获奖，但Feist今年销量人气是尽收包里了。</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://pic.yupoo.com/oleaf/5657751379fb/kqps9wc3.jpg" /></p>
<p>拿奖时<strong>Kanye West</strong>狂妄得不得了:&#8221;It definitely feels good to be home. Here to Grammy&#8217;s. You know, we snuck in about 4 years ago, 4 or 5 years ago, and we basically made this place out a new residence. &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;A lot of people say hip pop is dead, not just NAS, but you know, a lot of people say &#8216;I like the art form&#8230; it wasn&#8217;t the pop  I like any more&#8217;&#8230;I wanted to cross the genre to show people how we can still express ourselves with something fresh and new, and that&#8217;s what hip pop is always been about.&#8221;把NAS的专辑Hip pop is Dead给反驳了一通，然后转向说Common（很有“教养”的爵士说唱，Kanye合作过的） &#8220;Man, you gotta time the album out better, you can&#8217;t drop in the same year with me, man. This is my award.&#8221; 最后感谢MAMA，还说了句&#8221;We <strong>run</strong> this&#8221;才肯下台去。Kanye这次拿了8个奖中的4个，输给的也都是很强势的人气赢家，所以也无憾了。Kanye的更多照片可以看<a href="http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/?em3106=192428_-1__0_~0_-1_2_2008_0_0&amp;em3161=&amp;em3281=" target="_blank">他亲自经营的日志</a>。</p>

<p align="center">_____________________________________</p>
<p><strong>Fergie </strong>和<strong>John Legend</strong>表演，今年主要就是怀旧。第一次看到Fergie把她的美腿用长裙藏起来，唱的还过得去。</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://pic.yupoo.com/oleaf/7172751379fc/r6p7a7le.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">____________________________________________</p>
<p><strong>Foo Fighters</strong>的Echoes, Silence, Patience &amp; Grace终于狂躁地拿下Best Rock Album，这个我不太感兴趣，也没怎么关注。</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://pic.yupoo.com/oleaf/293065137a02/rav57e72.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">Grammy去年为和美国偶像争收视率推出My Grammy Moment之后尝到了甜头今年继续往传统乐器（小提琴大提琴）发展。这次的得票最高貌似是个亚裔女子，可任她怎么拼命地拉还是被Foo Fighter聒噪的表演完全掩盖。</p>
<p align="center">___________________________________</p>
<p>然后是今年最乱来也是最风光的一位：<strong>Amy Winehouse</strong>。丫因为一直游走戒酒吸毒边缘，入美签证被拒（美国太搞了，之前都来过David Letterman了，这次故意啊）后来通过卫星在London直播。是本场Grammy压轴表演，唱时候眼神那个叫勾魂啊。</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://pic.yupoo.com/oleaf/5930151379ff/td9cczku.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://pic.yupoo.com/oleaf/7209951379f8/7yhtu09x.jpg" /></p>
<p>最大赢家，包括年度最佳唱片、年度最佳歌曲、最佳新人、最佳流行女歌手，最佳流行演唱五个重量级大奖（注：年度最佳唱片Record of the Year主要奖单曲，不同于年度最佳专辑Album of the Year）。六个提名拿了五个看丫高兴得激动得。大呼&#8221;Camden Town ain&#8217;t burnin&#8217; down!&#8221;[伦敦的Camden Town，很有文化代表性一地儿，之前起火了]</p>

<p align="left">健硕的<strong>Beyoncé</strong>再怎么吼，我也觉得她没有前辈<strong>Tina Turner</strong>唱得有感觉。其他很多晚辈艺人也是，没有唱出骨子里那个乐味儿。</p>

<p align="left"><strong>Jay-Z</strong>今年终于在台上开金口了。走上台前被<strong>Rihanna</strong>牵了一阵手，不知道是J-Z怕回去被Beyoncé修整还是怎么的就松开了。下面是R表演红了一年的Umbrella。丫来自加勒比海的巴巴多斯。</p>
