美國R&B紅人亞瑟小子剛剛在11月的全美音樂獎上滿載而歸,一舉奪得四個獎項,包括最佳流行或搖滾男歌手、最佳靈魂或節(jié)奏藍調(diào)男歌手,他的熱賣專輯《Confessions》獲得最佳流行或搖滾專輯和最佳靈魂或節(jié)奏藍調(diào)專輯。對如此風光的他來說,第47屆格萊美獎的提名自然不少不了。外電報道如下:With the year's top album and single, Usher doesn't have to worry about getting left out when Grammy nominees are announced Tuesday. The question simply is how many nominations the R&B crooner will get.
His megahit "Yeah!" is likely to receive record and song of the year nominations, and "Confessions," which has sold more than 7 million copies and spawned four hit singles, seems a lock for album of the year.
But he's also likely to be nominated in the pop and R&B categories for his performances on songs such as "Confessions" and "Burn," and could get other nominations for his collaborations with Alicia Keys on "My Boo," his current big hit, and Ludacris and Lil Jon on "Yeah!"
Crooner表示“低聲吟唱感傷性流行歌曲的歌手”,因為croon表示“低吟,哼唱(感傷性流行歌曲或哄小兒入睡)”,例如:The mother crooned her baby to sleep.(母親低聲哼著哄嬰兒入睡。)
