  • So You've Been Musically Shamed
    WILLIAM CHENG Dartmouth College Email: [email protected] So You’ve Been Musically Shamed ABSTRACT In July 2014, an anonymous source leaked the raw audio of Britney Spears’s confessional ballad “Alien.” Haters pounced on this star’s denuded voice, gleefully seizing on the viral artifact as a smoking gun for Spears’s deficits and for the pop industry’s artistic fakeries more broadly. My paper situates this flashpoint of Spears-shaming within late-capitalist archives of public humiliation, cyberleaks, and the paternalistic scrutiny of women’s bodies and voices. KEYWORDS: critical theory, media studies, popular music A marketplace has emerged where public humiliation is a commodity and shame is an industry. How is the money made? Clicks. The more shame, the more clicks. – monica lewinsky1 “Poor Britney Spears” is not the beginning of a sentence you hear often uttered in my household. – tony hoagland, “poor britney spears,” beginning of the poem2 In the summer of 2014, the internet sprang a musical leak. Suddenly circulating on YouTube was a video featuring the allegedly raw, non-Auto-Tuned sounds of Brit- 3 ney Spears singing her new album track “Alien.” Spears’s voice in this recording was noticeably off-key and off-kilter, like some abject artifact meant to be overwritten, for- gotten, abandoned on the cutting room floor. In the video’s comment threads, view- ers’ strident pronouncements of aching ears and melting brains swirled in a chorus of mockery. Haters pounced on the star’s denuded voice and offered it as airtight 1.

Other settings are suggested throughout. ACT ONE - Scene i - THE MENʼS DEPARTMENT OF BERGDORF GOODMAN'S. BRIAN HAYES, early 30ʼs and immaculately handsome, is trying on a designer sport jacket when BERNIE LICHTENBERG, same age, enters in a frazzle. BERNIE [recitative: I know Iʼm late…] I KNOW, I KNOW! IʼM LATE, BUT YOU CAN THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS IʼM HERE AT ALL. I BARELY MADE IT THROUGH THE FRAGRANCE DEPARTMENT. WHAT DʼYA CALLIT — the pretty people with the samples ... BRIAN ATTACK MODELS. STINK BOMBERS… BERNIE YEH. THEM. THEYʼRE ON THE RAMPAGE — Iʼve been spritzed by Ralph, Calvin and three Europeans Iʼve never heard of.

From the classical era to the 21st Century, uncountable stories, poems and songs have tirelessly been constructed around the concept of romantic love. In the western classical literary tradition, a part of the canon is reserved to pieces revolving around this concept, such as Ovid’s Ars Amatoria. As Hecht points out in his introduction to The Sonnets by Shakespeare, literary pieces in which the author immortalises “his beloved in deathless verse” are part of “a poetic convention that can be traced back to classical antiquity” (10-11). Hecht mentions Homer and Virgil in order to support his thesis, and still many other classical authors, such as Sappho’s poetry, could be added to the list. Since the classical era, love also played an important role in the religious system; gods and goddesses were adored in its name. For example, the goddess of fertility was already worshipped in the prehistoric era, and the Greeks named Aphrodite their own personal goddess of love. Likewise, the theme of love reappears in medieval imagery where it was used as a motor force for the construction of legends, tales and stories.
