Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

"Hey, Link Taylor, why are you guys just coming in? I've been waiting for you forever."

In the front row area, Selena waved at them, wearing a red dress, her long brown curly hair cascading over her petite shoulders, dressed refreshingly cute with a hint of sexiness.

By the end of last year, Selena, as a singer, released her first musical album which sold quite well, making a small impact in the music industry, and thus she also received an invitation to attend the Grammy ceremony live, just like Link last year.

Link, holding Taylor's hand, walked to the front row and greeted Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, and Adele, who had flown in from Britain.

This year Adele was nominated for Grammy's Best Pop Female Artist with her single "Hometown Glory".

Upon seeing him, Adele complained that she was an absolutely pure musician, and because she had met him a few times last year, a lot of rumors about the two appeared in the media afterward, calling him a major rumor carrier.

Link apologized to her and jokingly said the next time he would meet her in Britain, it would be done quietly without the paparazzi knowing.

Blinking her fan-like eyelashes, Adele gave him a glance and said that would only make the rumors seem more real.

"Link, the internet says you're preparing to challenge Justin Bieber for the pop charts in March and April, is that true?"

Lady Gaga spoke, holding her phone.

"Yes, 50 Cent and others want revenge on the pop charts, so they declared war on me unilaterally, and I had no choice but to accept," he said.

"Go Link! I think you can win," shouted Kesha and Miley Cyrus, who were sitting next to Selena.

"Thanks!"

"Hey, stop cheering for Link. Last year, he and Jay-Z challenged each other, and every album released during the same period suffered. This year, with Link and Justin's competition and their popularity, the impact would be even greater. We're all going to suffer, so why cheer him on?"

Katy Perry said, laughing.

The surrounding singers nodded profoundly in agreement.

Top-level competition creates strong topics, and the media gives special attention to it during promotions, naturally increasing the exposure and sales of high-profile albums, impacting others released in the same period.

Link shrugged, with nothing to say.

Since becoming a billionaire, he had always preferred stability and was not fond of competing with others, especially in music.

But if he didn't compete, others would inevitably want to compete with him, and he could only respond accordingly.

At eight o'clock sharp in the evening, the Grammy Awards ceremony began. Since MJ had died last year and a memorial service was also held here, the first program was the broadcast of the famous music video "Earth Song", made using 3D technology, as a tribute to MJ.

The second program was Beyonce performing "Single Lady" live. She danced vigorously with over a dozen sexily dressed dancers, shaking their long legs on stage, instantly dispersing the sad atmosphere of the venue.

The third program featured teen idol Justin Bieber with several dancers on stage performing the popular song "Baby," singing and dancing, making the show more jubilant.

As JB performed, fans in the back rows shouted loudly, creating a very lively atmosphere.

In stark contrast to the bustling back rows and stage, hundreds of nominated musicians and singing guests in the middle, mostly wore indifferent expressions as they watched the 16-year-old Justin sing and dance on stage.

In terms of looks and performing skills, Justin was quite good, a fresh-faced young talent with bright teeth and a clear, sunny voice, quite talented in singing and a fine child star.

However, his singing skills were average, the lyrics of his songs were somewhat trite, the rhythms were monotonous, and the style very juvenile.

And the Grammy Awards ceremony is a grand party for top-tier musicians worldwide, where everyone participating has first-rate composing and music appreciation skills, some even considered masters.

What would their mood be like having to watch a sixteen-year-old novice show off his skills?

Especially when the young lad's album sales were higher than theirs, his singles hotter, his popularity greater, and his fan base larger.

How would they feel when they were displeased but had to accept the reality?

Link looked around at his peers.

Taylor, Selena, Adele, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Kesha, Carrie Underwood, p!nk, Lana, the Jonas Brothers, Kings of Leon, Green Day, Warlock Jason Mraz, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonce, and others.

Among these people, the younger singers remained quite calm while the older generation chattered, trying to distract themselves from the program.

Clap, clap, clap~

The elder's wish was soon fulfilled as Justin Bieber's performance ended, and a burst of warm applause filled the venue.

The applause mainly came from fans in the back row and celebrities like Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Usher, Kanye, and others, some of whom stood up to clap.

Hearing such enthusiastic applause, many veteran singers in the front row turned to look back with incredulous expressions.

Especially veteran rock musicians like Jeff Beck and Bruce Springsteen, who complained bitterly to those next to them as if to say, "How could someone like such a terrible song, are the fans' standards now this low?

"Finally, it's over. I've been hearing this song so often these days, it's been driving me mad."

Selena patted her skirt as she spoke.

Link smiled lightly, "It's good, actually. The Grammys used to shun younger artists, but now they've invited Justin to perform, showing they're more open and accepting of young artists. And as young artists, this change benefits us."

"You mean, this time you and Taylor will get a lot of awards?"

Selena blinked and asked.

"Not necessarily. The nominees this year are quite young, like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon, all under thirty, which means the competition is fierce, making it tough to win awards."

As Link and Selena were talking, the award ceremony on stage began.

Last year's Grammy for Producer of the Year was awarded by British rock legend Robert Plant and American country music queen Alison Krauss, who together took the stage to present the first award of this Grammy, for Producer of the Year.

"The winner of the 52nd Annual Grammy Award for Producer of the Year is..."

Robert Plant glanced at the audience below.

This year's nominees for the award were Beyonce's "Halo", Taylor Swift's "You Belong with Me", Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody", Lady Gaga's "Poker Face", and Link Baker's "Unstoppable".

These five nominees also represented five mainstream music genres: blues, country, rock, dance, and pop.

The CBS network cameras swept over each of their faces.

Link held Taylor's hand, maintaining a composed smile on his face, though he always worried that his smile might look too stiff when the camera focused on him.

"Link, your smile looks so fake."

Selena joked, pointing at his face with wide eyes.

"Stop it, or I'll hit you."

Link moved his lips as he spoke.

"There's a camera ahead, no messing around now,"

Taylor said in a hushed voice.

On stage, Robert Plant smiled and handed the card to Alison Krauss. After a glance at the card, Alison smiled and spoke into the microphone:

"Unstoppable, by Link Baker!"
