As a topic before the start of the award ceremony, it successfully occupied a relatively large section of the news page.
The controversy related to Jiang Yuan was obviously a hot topic of the day in the eyes of reporters and media.
The kind that will explode easily after a little stir-frying.
Therefore, during the interview session, singers who were competitors with Jiang Yuan, or other guests attending the award ceremony, frequently asked questions related to Jiang Yuan.
What's different from domestic entertainment is that most foreign artists don't pay much attention to scenes.
So when you ask questions on the spot, they are basically all answered.
For example, singers who were originally not very satisfied with the results predicted by music critics took the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction after being cued about this issue.
"Roel, what do you think about the fact that the major music critics think that Jiang Yuan, that is, Omega, has a greater chance of winning than you?"
The reporter at the scene asked a black singer very directly.
Roel wore a head of golden dreadlocks. After hearing this question, his face, which was not fair at all, turned a little darker again.
"I don't know what these so-called music critics think, but it doesn't matter, I will crush him at the awards ceremony tonight."
"His ability to write stories may be pretty good, but when it comes to music..." Roel chuckled lightly as he spoke, and his contempt was self-evident.
"Are you trying to say that Jiang Yuan is no match for music?"
"The album he was nominated for has also achieved very good results in the charts. Have you heard of it? What do you think?" The reporter asked with interest.
"I've listened to it. It seems to me like a pop compilation album that just hits the public's fancy."
"I also heard that there are rap songs in the album, but it doesn't sound like real rap at all to me. I will also perform tonight, and I will let him see what real hiphop is, u m3?" Luo Er gritted his teeth.
He said harsh words.
Harsh words are also a very typical category. Although Jiang Yuan has also released rap songs, they are not rappers. They are even included in pop albums. They are pseudo-rap songs without real spirit and so on.
Comments like this have appeared repeatedly in interviews with many singers.
In addition to pseudo-rap, there are also criticisms such as pseudo-rock. It can be said that the elements are completely full.
"I don't know what the motives of these music critics are for making such predictions, but in my opinion, both... and... are more deserving of awards!"
"I haven't heard of Jiang's songs. I don't even know how he became popular. Maybe I will listen to it after the awards ceremony."
"I know he won the IMA Award for Best Album, but you also know that IMA is a more commercial-oriented award, and he has a lot of fans throughout Asia."
"The Grammy Awards are an award that focuses on musicality, and these music review organizations have said that their evaluations are based on the exclusion of other factors."
"Anyone can win, right? They are all excellent works."

During the interview, the answers given to Jiang Yuan's questions were either tit-for-tat expressions of dissatisfaction, just like Roel's.
Either the matter has nothing to do with oneself, or there is no competitive relationship with Jiang Yuan at all, and they basically maintain an attitude that it has nothing to do with oneself.
Of course, not all of them are bad remarks. For example, Jiang Yuan’s friends Louis and Paul also spoke out in a positive manner during the interview.
"The comments on the Internet? I have seen it. I think the predictions given by the music critics are very accurate, because I think so too. There should not have been a better album than this one throughout last year!"
After Louis was cued to Jiang Yuan-related issues, he spoke directly without thinking.
"Music level? Come on, you have to know that we collaborated on the single "STAY" together. While it swept the charts, we also won the IMA Best Collaboration Award together. They mean the ears of the audience and the award judges.
Are they all deaf?”
When asked about other singers' poor comments about Jiang Yuan's musical quality, Lewis immediately spoke angrily.
“But they said that IMA’s business component is more focused,” the reporter added.
When Louis heard this, he immediately cursed, "F**k, they have the ability to say that in an interview at the IMA awards ceremony."
"If you don't get it, you just call it a business award. If you get it, you put it carefully in your cabinet. No one knows better than them." Louis said with disdain, but he told the truth straight to the point.
"All in all, even these well-known music review organizations have made this prediction."
"Those who are dissatisfied should either win an award or find ways to improve their own skills. I have also listened to their albums, but I forgot about them after listening to them." Louis also laughed and finally concluded, expressing his gratitude to Jiang Yuanli.
Fight to the end.
There is no pressure at all when it comes to evaluating other people's albums, after all, he didn't release one last year.
The reporters at the scene did not expect that Louis would be so supportive of Jiang Yuan. After recording Louis' answer, they watched the other party go away.
Lewis's remarks are obviously quite powerful.
Although there haven't been many high-quality works produced in recent years, they can't stand the blood. In addition, it's been a long time since fans saw Louis publicly criticizing others, and it seemed that he had glimpsed a bit of Louis' former high-spirited appearance.
European and American version of Ye Qing Hui.
After Louis' support, fans of Louis on the Internet also began to stand on Jiang Yuan's side and support Jiang Yuan to win the award.
He even made suggestions for Louis' next new album, thinking that he could enlist Jiang Yuan as a producer, write a few songs or collaborate with him, and maybe he could be shortlisted for some awards next year.
Once this suggestion was put forward, it received support from many Lewis fans, and it was also considered a support for Jiang Yuan's work.
"Jiang Yuan's work is fake rock? Who said that?" On the other hand, Paul couldn't help showing a surprised expression during the interview.
As if he was surprised, who would say such ignorant words.
"The lead singer of the band 5 boys said this during an interview. He said that there is no rock spirit in Jiang Yuan's songs at all, and they are just covered in a rock and roll skin." The reporter repeated the other party's words to Paul and others.
When hearing this, Paul and the band members couldn't help but smile narrowly.
"Is it funny?" After the reporter noticed this situation, he couldn't help but asked with a smile.
"It's quite funny." Paul originally wanted to look serious, but after a little trial, he laughed out loud again to no avail, so he nodded and admitted.
"This statement also reminds us of some comments we heard very early on when we just started releasing albums." Other members also explained.
"Yes, we often heard this statement back then."
"After we released the album and got good sales, everyone started attacking each other and saying that it was not real rock and roll." During the interview, Paul and others also began to reminisce about the past.
During the conversation, I also analyzed the reasons why this phenomenon occurs.
It's actually a very simple truth. Everyone plays the same style of music in the beginning.
It's just that some people are successful, have more fans, and sell well.
From the perspective of those musicians and singers who are still not very successful and are still in a niche category, it is obvious that their business is not pure enough.
It's just a high-level interpretation of jealousy.
After some sarcasm in retrospect, Paul and others concluded at the end, "Actually, I think the 5 boys can be considered a part of pseudo-rock in the eyes of many rock fans."
"I don't know how they can evaluate other singers' works like this again after receiving such evaluation."
"As for Jiang Yuan, I like his works very much. We have cooperated many times, and there will even be more cooperation in the future." Paul said matter-of-factly.
At the same time, other members couldn't help but add, "But we probably won't cooperate with 5 boys."
It can be regarded as extremely ironic. After all, in the Blu-ray Band, Jiang Yuan is not only an excellent partner, but also has the status of Omega.
It is also because of such a vest status that Jiang Yuan's reputation during the interview session was not completely one-sided, but was split 50-50.
"I have been listening to this album. Just like the concept of the album, there are indeed tracks suitable for various times and atmospheres that can be found in it."
"Oh, I love his performance so much. I even watched the entire performance at his concert in LA!"
"I really like the detective stories he wrote, which make me feel a sense of mystery lingering around Omega. Of course, I also love his music."
"I didn't expect that someone would hate this kind of music, did you? Of course I support it. Everyone knows that he is very handsome."

Before Jiang Yuan arrived at the red carpet, many comments from the interview had already appeared on the Internet, continuing to heat up public opinion on related topics.
On the red carpet of the Grammy Awards, Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er appeared hand in hand, and the flashlights on both sides suddenly started flashing crazily.
Because of public opinion, the scene paid special attention to Jiang Yuan.
You don't even need to fall down deliberately, your red carpet exposure will just increase.
It also made Jiang Yuan realize that black and red are also red, not to mention that Jiang Yuan only caused some controversy and was not a black spot. There were many supportive voices both online and in person.
The large amount of attention also made the audience at the scene and watching the live broadcast notice Jiang Yuan's red carpet style.
In terms of the choice of dress color, I finally chose navy blue with a darker tone, which is somewhere between high-profile and low-key.
However, the fabric of the clothes is specially chosen to be slightly reflective, which distinguishes it from ordinary suits.
At this moment, under the reflection of the flash, it shines particularly brightly.
Shang Yan'er on the side was wearing a black backless dress, looking particularly elegant.
The two faced the camera and walked hand in hand on the red carpet, acting extremely calm and seemingly not affected at all.
After seeing Jiang Yuan and the two appearing on the red carpet together, domestic CP fans started to drink.
[Shit, I had a vision of the wedding scene for a moment.]
[After waiting for such a long time for the live broadcast, my eyes are finally comfortable! 】
【Public Opinion Center, accompany each other, eat and drink!】
【Wow, wow, so beautiful and handsome!】
[It looks a little too good today, the stylist added chicken legs! 】
[Looks like he’s here for a coronation!]
——
As soon as Jiang Yuan appeared, the fans watching the live broadcast suddenly became sunny.
CP fans watched the two walking hand in hand on the red carpet, and their CP radar, which had not had many thoughts of taking sugar, was suddenly activated again.
Looking at the screen, the inadvertent movements and interactions between the two seemed like there was candy everywhere.
After passing the red carpet and taking photos, Jiang Yuan also had his own exclusive interview. First there was an interaction with the on-site host, and then there was an interview with the reporters.
The former is a clip broadcast directly through live broadcast, while the latter is content separately released by reporters and media and is not included in the live broadcast.
Therefore, the former interaction was considered normal, basically the same as Jiang Yuan's previous interaction at the IMA awards ceremony.
Jiang Yuan was also able to deal with them easily and answered these questions freely.
After finishing this part of the interaction, Jiang Yuan came to the interview location.
After reporters noticed Jiang Yuan's figure, they immediately swarmed in. After all, Jiang Yuan was the singer who stirred up the interview situation today.
"Have you paid attention to the music critic organization..."
As soon as he was surrounded, reporters began to ask Jiang Yuan about his views on online public opinion and the comments of some singers at the scene.
After interviewing for such a long time, we finally got to know the real person. Everyone was excitedly looking forward to Jiang Yuan's answer.
After Jiang Yuan listened carefully to the first question, he was not too surprised.
In the previous assumptions, this was one of the questions that would definitely be asked.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, I think it's pretty good."
"After all, now, I have become the focus of the award ceremony, haven't I?"
"Many shortlisted singers have not been able to do this." Jiang Yuan was very open-minded.
These public opinions are obviously temporary at the moment.
"What do you think of some of the comments given by Loel?" The reporter was stunned for a moment and then asked.
Jiang Yuan was slightly startled, "Who is Luo Er?"
There was too much news on the Internet, and Jiang Yuan couldn't pay attention to it comprehensively for a while.
"Sorry, I'm a foreigner, so I don't know much about it." Jiang Yuan explained.
After seeing Jiang Yuan's answer that didn't seem to be fake at all, some media outlets at the scene couldn't help laughing, and they had already thought of a brand new news headline in their minds.
