The second big event in February is here! The 57th Grammy Awards 2015 was on 8th February, 2015 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Grammy Awards is the most important music award in the entire world, and obviously it has a long history. Every year, the Grammy Awards is held in February. This is not only about award presentation ceremony. You can also watch performances by successful singers and interviews on red carpet. This is not only about music. Sounds like there’s a lot of entertainment in the Grammys.
Lots of
things happen in the Grammys, however, Sam Smith definitely got attention the
most. He got four Grammys which were Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best
New Artist, and Best Pop Vocal Album. This is crazy and amazing! He was an unknown
British singer just one year ago. Who imagined he would be such a successful singer
like this?
The other
person who got attention was Sia. She is a great singer and her songs have
strong messages. However, this time she got attention not because of her song, because of her outfit (or
should I say her big wig?). She hates social media so she didn’t to want to
take it off.
Clearly
the Grammys gathered momentum at the popular level, but what about for college
students? I asked Katie Bryant, nursing major at Avila University if she
watched the Grammys or not. She said, no. She had to work at that time. I also
asked others but they gave me the same answer. College students listen to
music a lot, and they grew up with iPod or other music devices and players, so
music would have been closer to them than the parents’ generation. However, not
a lot of college students didn’t watch the Grammys. It is not that important to
them. And they have some stuff to do more than watching the Grammys, for
example, taking assignment, working for tuition, and hanging out with friends
or not interested. Even if missed the show, you can watch it anytime on YouTube
if you want. This useful stuff make students think they don’t need to watch it
on time.
Even
though it was a big event for the world, it wasn’t for most of the students. They
are busy and got lots of things to do and not interested. Last week’s Super
bowl was successful. Of course the Grammys was successful too. However, Super
Bowl got more attentions from students more than the Grammys did. Maybe it is
because the Grammys is not related to students well. Super Bowl is definitely related
to students. There is a football team in Avila University, and Football is the most
popular sport in the U.S. This weekend is going to be NBA all-star game. Let’s
see how the students will react!
