格萊美追加惠特尼緬懷環(huán)節(jié) 靈魂樂天后參與獻(xiàn)唱
As reported by AOL Music, earlier today (Feb. 11) the death of singing legend Whitney Houston shocked the world. The diva, who died only hours before attending a pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles, will be honored tomorrow at that very award show by Jennifer Hudson and Chaka Khan.
'Entertainment Tonight' broke the news that the two powerhouse voices will come together to sing a tribute to the gone-too-soon diva. Throughout her illustrious career, Houston won six Grammy Awards and had been nominated twenty-six times.
"It will be something respectful," Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich told CNN. "It's not gonna be a full-blown tribute; to me that seems like it's too early, it's too fresh... [It will be] appropriate to Whitney's memory."
Houston's legacy will undoubtedly be a constant theme throughout tomorrow night's award show. Already the music industry has come out in droves to mourn the death of the singer. "She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace this earth," Mariah Carey wrote on her Twitter page earlier this evening. "It's so sad to see such a great female artist gone," singer Dev tells AOL Music. "I'll miss that voice!!!"
格萊美音樂大獎(jiǎng)?lì)C獎(jiǎng)典禮即將在周日舉行,可慶典前夜竟然意外傳出一代天后惠特尼·休斯頓驟然離世的噩耗。為紀(jì)念這位偉大女歌手,應(yīng)廣大樂迷的要求,格萊美決定效仿09年BET大獎(jiǎng)緬懷邁克爾·杰克遜的做法,為追加惠特尼·休斯頓的紀(jì)念環(huán)節(jié),加班加點(diǎn)重新編排整個(gè)頒獎(jiǎng)禮流程。
有消息稱美國錄音學(xué)院的主席尼爾·波特諾先生正全力重制整套格萊美獎(jiǎng)?lì)C獎(jiǎng)典禮,雖然時(shí)間緊迫但他依舊希望能在大典中加入天后的緬懷單元。據(jù)報(bào)道紀(jì)念環(huán)節(jié)中除了詹妮弗·哈德森之外,靈魂樂天后恰克·卡恩(Chaka Khan)也極有可能參與演出。
波特諾在大典前夜例行晚宴中告訴記者格萊美獎(jiǎng)規(guī)模盛大,舞臺(tái)燈光器材道具紛繁復(fù)雜,想要在如此短的時(shí)間內(nèi)重排整個(gè)頒獎(jiǎng)禮,難度和工作量可想而知。但他同時(shí)也表示他有一支非常優(yōu)秀的團(tuán)隊(duì),相信他們有這個(gè)實(shí)力在明天為大家呈現(xiàn)一場精彩的盛典。
之后波特諾回憶起了他六個(gè)月前,最后一次見到惠特尼的情景。他說當(dāng)時(shí)惠特尼狀態(tài)良好,整個(gè)人精神風(fēng)貌都處于佳境。第54屆格萊美音樂大獎(jiǎng)?lì)C獎(jiǎng)禮將于北京時(shí)間2月13日上午在美國洛杉磯舉行。
