摘要
桑迪·肖的歌声前后不一:经常喘不过气来,跑调,不稳定。观众对她表演的评价表明,在听众和评论家看来,这些品质使她看起来像一个正在走向成年的普通女孩。对萧伯纳来说,平凡是她的卖点,是她表演个性的关键部分。本章探讨了对桑迪·肖来说,“普通”的声音意味着什么,以及“普通”的声音如何成为白人表演的一部分。这一章以讨论萧伯纳的声音在青少年声音变化和情感表达的矛盾含义的背景下的声音开始。这一讨论为阅读邵逸夫职业生涯中的一系列情节提供了依据:她早期在电视节目《Shindig!》1968年的电视节目《桑迪·肖副刊》(the sandy Shaw Supplement),最后是1969年她自己制作的封面唱片《回顾形势》(review the Situation)。
Sandie Shaw’s singing was inconsistent: often breathy, out of tune, and uncertain. Reception of her performances reveals that, to listeners and critics, these qualities made her seem like an ordinary girl navigating the path to adulthood. For Shaw, ordinariness was a selling point, a crucial part of her performing persona. This chapter examines what it meant for Sandie Shaw to sound “ordinary,” and how the sound of ordinariness was part of a performance of whiteness. The chapter opens with discussion of the sound of Shaw’s voice in the context of adolescent vocal change and the conflicting implications of emotional expression. This discussion then informs readings of a series of episodes in Shaw’s career: her early career appearance on the TV program Shindig!, her 1967 Eurovision performances and the controversy regarding her respectability that informed them, her 1968 TV program The Sandie Shaw Supplement, and, finally, her 1969 self-produced cover record Reviewing the Situation.
