It seems the art of survival-or continual positive projection-in the world of pop music these days, depends very much on change. If artists fail to recreate their image--chameleon(变色龙)- like, over and over again--they risk facing accusations of dullness; that they are not fashionable.
This phenomenon is especially prevalent(普遍的) in the female ranks. It is not sufficient for an artist to be beautiful and sexy. These characteristics too must be changed often, and remodelled to avoid being bogged down(陷入困境) by a stereotype(老一套).
Two examples of the rock "n" roll art of move and change are Cher and Madonna, the latter a brilliant illustration of the trend. Her latest disc, "Something to Remember", displays how she has so effectively been able to stay at the top without diminishing credibility in her particular field. (For these purposes, we will forget her unworthy flirtation with sex, that horrible book and her swear-word-ridden, cigar-chewing appearance on the David Letterman Show. )
This collection demonstrates how she has moderate her image at relevant times to give contrast and definition to her career. But it offers more than simply a study in rock fashion history. There is also a solid collection of quality music.
It opens with the newish "I Want You with Massive Attack", a faintly morose and teary plea and quickly moves back in time to her earlier moments: "Crazy for You", "This Used To Be My Playground" and "You’ll See". There is also a nice version of "Love Don’t Live Here Anymore". So this is more than an exploitative offering.
However, Chef’s latest package, It’s a Man’s World’, cannot be reviewed proudly. In her past--the most memorable moment for this reviewer being her visit to a US warship amid cheering sailors for "If I Could Turn Back Time’-she has competed admirably. And she has demonstrated the classic features of the change syndrome(综合症). But this is a tired and dull Chef, Perhaps attempting to moderate her sexy and boy-crazy image in this session but failing. [br] The writer’s attitude towards Madonna is______.
选项
A、basically critical
B、negative
C、generally favourable
D、uncritically admiring
答案
C
解析
作者对Madonna能不断改变自我形象进行创新并保持成功是持肯定态度的。第三段中指出:“Madonna的新碟反映了在她的领域内,她是怎样如此有效地保持“大姐大”的地位的。 (因此让我们暂且忘记她的那种不足称道的性挑逗,那本可怕的书和David Letterman秀中那个满嘴秽语、嚼着雪茄的形象)。”可见作者对于Madonna的这种不断创新、善于生存的本领是表示赞赏的,提及Madonna的负面形象也是为了与她的许多正面要点进行对比。作者的这种态度还体现在全文对Madonna进行评论时所使用的词语中。
