In Februаry 2023, Hаrry Styles, fоrmer member оf One Directiоn, won Album of the Yeаr at the Grammy Awards for the album Harry's House. Read this transcript of Styles' acceptance speech: ------------"On nights like tonight, it's obviously so important for us to remember that there is no such thing as 'best' in music. I don't think any of us sit in the studio thinking, making decisions based on what is gonna get us one of these" [gesturing to his trophy]. "This is really, really kind. I'm so, so grateful. This doesn't happen to people like me very often."-----------It was that last line that sparked a great deal of controversy, and a subsequent image crisis for Styles. The Huffington Post wrote: "That remark rubbed some viewers the wrong way, considering he was up against the likes of the Puerto-Rican-born Bad Bunny and Beyoncé — whose respective wins would have signified the first Spanish-language album to win the award or the first Black woman to win the award since 1999." Others responded similarly, creating an image crisis for Styles. **“‘This doesn’t happen to people like me’ is the most white privilege-iest thing to ever be uttered at an awards show ever for all time." [Vulture podcast host and former NPR journalist Sam Sanders]**“This doesn’t happen to people like me often,” possibly an even more severe case of foot in mouth than anything Harry Styles said on the DON’T WORRY DARLING press tour [Isaac Feldberg on Twitter]**Harry Styles saying this doesn't happen often to people like me in place where Benito might have become the Puerto Rican to win that album and Beyonce the 1st black women since 1999 is WILD. I need him to explain what identity he was using for that speech cause... [ChiChi on Twitter]**“This doesn’t happen to people like me often” - a white man winning Album of the Year for the umpteenth time in history. [Daye on Twitter] Your task is to re-write Styles' success speech to avoid creating the image crisis. Once you write the speech, code the strategies you used. Then, explain how your new speech avoids the crisis AND fulfills the criteria required (based on Benoit's theory) of a good success speech. Note: it's ok if you don't know names of people Styles should thank. If you choose to use that strategy, you can make up the information. The focus of your answer should highlight your knowledge of success rhetoric theory (your explanation should include clear and sound reasoning related to the theory).
