Pharrell Williams?performed his?inescapable?Girl single "Happy" on the Grammys with newfound drama, since classical pianist Lang Lang, who played with Metallica at last year's Grammys, and film composer Hans Zimmer joined him. 菲瑞·威廉姆斯在格萊美激情演出他的經(jīng)典曲目《Happy》,不過(guò)這次呈現(xiàn)了完全不同的風(fēng)格,去年與“金屬樂(lè)隊(duì)”合作的中國(guó)古典鋼琴家郎朗,還有電影配樂(lè)家漢斯·季默(注:《星球大戰(zhàn)》)都加入了此次表演行列。

Dressed like a?bellhop?in white gloves, blue shorts with yellow shoes, Pharrell led a cinematic intro to the tune that gave way to a typically blissful version of the song with breaks for?pianosonatas?and gospel breakdowns.?Questlove?clapped along, as a white-gown-wearing choir made their way up the aisle. "As you can see, I'm at your service, Lord," Pharrell said at the end.?
菲瑞穿得像個(gè)旅館侍者,白手套、藍(lán)色短褲、黃鞋子出場(chǎng),以電影般的對(duì)白開(kāi)場(chǎng),一段耳熟能詳?shù)母枨篌E然進(jìn)入郎朗的鋼琴獨(dú)奏,踩著快斯拉的節(jié)奏,身穿白色長(zhǎng)袍唱詩(shī)班出現(xiàn)在走廊中間舞動(dòng)。最后結(jié)尾菲瑞說(shuō):“看到了嗎我的主,我樂(lè)意為您效勞。”
Williams was
nominated in several categories this year, including his collaborations with Beyonce and Ed Sheeran against himself in Album of the Year, and, as a solo artist, was nominated in four categories: Album of the Year for Girl, Best Pop Solo Performance for "Happy," Best Urban Contemporary Album for Girl and Best Music Video for "Happy." He'd already won trophies for the latter three awards by the time he performed; Album of the Year had not yet been announced.
威廉姆斯今年有好幾項(xiàng)格萊美獲獎(jiǎng)提名,他和碧昂絲、紅發(fā)艾德合作的專(zhuān)輯和他自己的專(zhuān)輯同時(shí)被提名專(zhuān)輯獎(jiǎng):最受女生歡迎年度專(zhuān)輯、最佳當(dāng)代城市專(zhuān)輯。另外這首獨(dú)唱歌曲《Happy》被提名最佳流行音樂(lè)表演和最佳MV獎(jiǎng)。
Pharrell originally released the song on the
soundtrack for Despicable Me 2 in 2013, and created the world's first 24-hour music video to accompany it. Months later, he revealed to Howard Stern that he had originally written it with CeeLo Green in mind and that that singer had actually recorded it. Williams said that CeeLo sounded amazing but that "the powers that be" vetoed its release.
這首獲獎(jiǎng)歌曲首次出現(xiàn)是在2013年電影《卑鄙的我2》中,并創(chuàng)造了全球首次在24小時(shí)內(nèi)完成音樂(lè)配樂(lè)的記錄。幾個(gè)月后,菲瑞向霍華德·斯特恩(注:脫口秀ShockJock主持人)透露,其實(shí)這首歌一開(kāi)始是寫(xiě)給CeeLo Green唱的,他都錄好音了,而且聽(tīng)起來(lái)非常棒。但是因?yàn)閮?nèi)定操控否決了它的發(fā)表。
The song was previously nominated for an Oscar last year –Pharrell even performed it at the Academy Awards –but it went to another
ubiquitous children's movie song: Frozen's "Let It Go."
這首歌去年被提名奧斯卡金像獎(jiǎng),菲瑞甚至都在臺(tái)上表演了。不過(guò)最終獲獎(jiǎng)是另一首耳熟能詳無(wú)所不在的兒童動(dòng)畫(huà)電影配樂(lè)《Let it Go》。
