今年的Grammy Awards,最具話題度的不是誰拿獎最多、誰上台表演有多精彩,而是Kanye又發作了,打算重演2009年VMA上的搶mic事件,在美國創作歌手Beck拿下年度專輯大獎時衝上台作勢不讓他發言。事情的始末,相信有關注我們報道的讀者應該都有了解了(按此處閱讀《又要搗亂?Beck拿下2015 Grammy Awards年度專輯大獎,Kanye West又再衝上台!》),那麼身為當事人的Beck遭遇這樣的尷尬後究竟是怎樣的反應呢?

在接受Us Weekly採訪時,這位五度獲得格萊美獎項的歌手大度地表示Kanye完全有權上台,就和其他辛勤努力在做音樂的人一樣,這個舞台屬於他們,並且謙虛地說其實自己也對這座大獎的歸屬很意外,照他的原話就是“I thought she was going to win. Come on, she's Beyonce!”(我真的以為她會贏,畢竟她可是Beyonce啊!)
"I was just so excited he was coming up. He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody," Beck said when asked how he felt about West crashing the stage. "How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?"
Even though he said Beyonce should have won? "Absolutely," replied the humble musician. "I thought she was going to win. Come on, she's Beyonce!"
至於被問到Kanye暗指他不是真正的藝術人他作何感想時,Beck也沒有太多的尷尬和憤怒,“畢竟我們永遠都無法讓每個人都滿意,但我仍然尊敬Kanye這位音樂人,也敬佩他的勇敢。”
And what about his diss that Beyonce is true artistry, and you're not? "You can't please everybody, man," he replied. "I still love him and think he's genius. I aspire to do what he does."

到底誰是Beck?
非常謙遜有禮的一位藝人,那麼他到底是什麼來頭能擊敗Beyonce,還在當晚順帶攔下最佳搖滾專輯和最佳專輯製作兩個獎項呢?
Beck,原名Beck Hansen,是美國音樂圈裡的全能音樂怪才,也是一位非常具有創意性和特殊性的另類搖滾音樂家,此番讓他攔下格萊美最大獎項的新專輯《Morning Phase》很多元化,小編看到一位歐美音樂的專業主持分析說,他的這張專輯從樂器的選擇到製作、編曲都很出色,幾乎每首歌的曲風都不一樣,難度非常大,雖然市場影響力和商業性對比起主流音樂人是有差距,不會那麼朗朗上口,但這也剛好符合了堅持藝術性的格萊美的口味。總而言之就是他的能力、天賦和作品質素要遠比Kanye所以為的要高。
下面是他的一些作品,感興趣的朋友不妨來感受一下。
