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.
"This" (Line 4, Para. 6) refers to______.
选项
A、the Chef in her latest package "It’s a Man’s World"
B、the Chef on the US warship amid cheering sailors
C、the Char singing in her album "If I Could Turn Back Time"
D、the Chef who mode rated her sexy and boy-crazy image
答案
A
解析
最后一段指出:“Cher的最新专辑‘It’s a Man’s World’却无法恭维,她过去最值得回忆的是为宣传‘If I Could Turn Back Time’在美国战舰欢呼的水兵中的时刻。她展示了我们的变化综合征的最经典的特征。但此处的Cher却是一个疲乏和呆板的Cher,也许在这张专辑中她试图改变她的性感和少男杀手形象,但却没有成功”。可见this是指Cher在新唱片中的形象。故选A)。
