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. Read the rest of this entry »
I have seriously started to wonder what happened to the media over the years. Not a specific news outlet or anything but everything in general, be it papers, magazines, TV, radio or the internet. While this site focuses on celebrities it’s not just in that area of media reporting though, it’s a general thing.
The media reporting on celebrities has always been horrible but it’s just getting worse over time. Things that in itself aren’t really a scandal are blown way out of proportion and everyone feels they have to say something about it. Even if it’s something that is none of their business. People are branded as bad people before they even get the chance for people to really get to know them. That’s just how it’s seen these days though, all celebrities are the same and especially the younger ones. They are bound to grow up to be train wrecks and the media will do anything to make sure that that happens.
I’m not even going to name examples here because anyone can come up with quite a few examples by themselves. What it usually comes down to is that they do things that are bad, things they shouldn’t have done, however some self reflection can’t hurt and you have to wonder what things would be blown out of proportion if people would be a celebrity themselves. Yes, everyone makes mistakes, I make mistakes, you make mistakes, a celebrity makes mistakes. Thing is that us nobodies get away with it because no one cares and no one is planning on selling a picture, video or story just to make us look bad. When that happens to a celebrity the bad influence crap is also usually pulled in. Strange that being human amounts to being a bad influence. Read the rest of this entry »
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.

Miley Cyrus has now released a new music video for her new song Can’t Be Tamed. While most people will go on about how inappropriate the video is, how she is trying to grow up too fast and showing too much skin they fail to see the true artistic masterpiece this video is, full of symbolism.
So Miley Cyrus decided to do a new music video for her new song I Can’t Be Tamed. So apparently that means being self absorbed, inappropriate and plain and simple wrong.
