So yeah, it seems that like with Miley Cyrus’ album release the cry outs that Miley is a trainwreck are getting louder and louder. The girl is so out of control and has no idea what she’s doing and who knows what. That’s what the people think, that’s what the media says. I only have one question for them: Why?

As I gather it from the media right now, this is all based on only a few things. Main one being her clothing choices. Yes, she’s been wearing less lately, mainly on stage. I just don’t get how that would make someone a trainwreck, slut, bitch or whatever name people like to call her. While I myself voiced my worry about it a while ago (for a different reason) it actually has been somewhat removed by what Miley has been saying lately.

No, I still can’t say that I’m completely comfortable with the outfits, however she has spoken about it in the media now on several occasions. She’s comfortable with her body and feels comfortable wearing less in her casual outfits and what she does on stage is just an act, it’s part of her performance. I can live with that explanation as she in no way is telling kids to dress like her. On the contrary, what she’s doing right now is telling people to be themselves and not who other people tell them to be. I would say that that is a good message, not a bad one. That it is expressed by her in a way that is a bit risque, is unfortunate. (more…)

This is the second time I’m writing this blog, the first one was just all over the place and I wasn’t even sure whether I would publish that or not. Not even sure about this one, it’s an issue I have mixed feelings about right now and I’m not sure if I’m in a position to judge it or not. If I’m completely wrong about this I’m going to apologize to Miley Cyrus beforehand and admit that I’m a complete and total asshole.

I’m worried about Miley, not because of all the trainwreck talk that people throw at her all the time, I don’t see that happening right now. The problem right now is mainly her clothing, yes, teenagers these days often dress quite sexy, especially at that age. I think with Miley however it’s starting to go a bit too far. I know it’s easy to judge someone from far away but right now I’m doing this out of concern. It’s starting to distract people from what matters.

It’s both in her casual and performance outfits really, while I don’t agree with people who say that it’s all of a sudden they do have a point that it comes off as trying too hard. I think it’s something that has been going on for years actually, there seems to be a steady evolution in outfits. We were already able to see some of Miley’s in candid pictures as far as two or three years ago however we can see more and more of it. Short shorts are nothing new either, however, combined with bra revealing tops and very high heels you can understand why people are trying to take issue with it. (more…)

So there are a couple of things that seem to have come from Miley Cyrus releasing a new song and music video last week. While a lot of them are expected it doesn’t make them any more logical. First to point out that people really don’t have to like the song or video, if they don’t like it, it’s fine with me. What just bugs me is the reasons some people list, if you’re going to list reasons at least make sure that they make sense.

One thing I’m getting tired of is all the comparisons, the song is like Britney Spears, the music video is like Britney Spears or Lady Gaga, etc. People might be calling Britney the queen of pop but I never saw it that way, thing is that Britney didn’t invent pop music. That a song might remind someone of a certain artist sure, that can happen. It’s just a pop song though, to me it doesn’t seem like a rip off of anyone. Same for the music video, Britney and Gaga didn’t invent the music video. That has been a trend anyway, most recently with Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga, for some reason right now people always need to find who something was stolen from. Well not everything is stolen.

Though on the subject of Britney Spears, there is a lot of talk about how Miley dresses too inappropriately in the music video. That she’s trying to grow up too fast. The people saying that, have they ever paid attention to Miley? I personally think that there is more skin showing in the Party in the USA video. She’s a bird in the music video, you rarely see a bird wearing pants. The thing however is that people were saying the exact same thing when Britney came into the public eye. So it’s really nothing new and there have been a lot of entertainers (also young ones) who dressed in a similar skin showing style. Just because it’s Miley people care about it again. (more…)
