My Miley Rant

It's time.

It was guaranteed to happen eventually.

Here is my Miley Cyrus rant.

I've watched from afar.

My formative years weren't spent with pop music.

Mummy brought us up on Madonna, Meatloaf and the occasional classical music CD. Actually thinking back, it was mostly 80's rock. When it became my choice as to what tape to put in, it was usually Bon Jovi or Bryan Adams, which somehow led me to Metallica and other rock music. I spent my late teens surrounded by metal.

So I am not in the pop scene. I've only a vague idea of who's who.

I see snippets thanks to X factor, YouTube and Facebook but I don't usually like what I see (still watch X factor though, car crash telly at it's best).

But there are two things that make me mad. Rihanna & Miley.

Dirty bitches. That's the first phrase to come to mind.

But those bitches can siiiiiiiiing.

It's a crying shame.

It makes me glad I don't have daughters.

And I hope that my boys will grow up to become men who turn away when a chick lifts her skirt for anything less than mutual love behind closed doors.

Oh god, I sound like a prude. I am so not. But dude, that doesn't need to be on my TV.

I do not need to see Miley's ass crack. Ever.

I'm happy to hear the girl sing, but I don't need to see her tits.

I YouTubed Miley's VMA performance after everyone ranted about it the day after.
Then I watched the 'we cant stop' & the 'wrecking ball' video so I could form my own opinion.

Wow.

The first thing that popped into my mind when this shot came up was what I'd look like in this pose....how did she manage to contain those tiny nipples? Mine would be round my neck hahaha.

On a more serious note, I did notice the similarity between the crying scenes & Sinead O'Conners video & I personally thought it a cheap shot at adding 'depth' to the vapid, shallow, nastiness that is that video.

I love that Sinead o'Conner stuck up for what it right & true. It's so predictable that Miley responded with that immature twittering.

My baby sister used to watch Hannah Montana, so obviously I've ended up watching a few episodes & I'm vaguely familiar with her on screen/off screen Daddy. 
Man, I feel sorry for Billy.

role model? really?

I think these days, artists really do need to understand the importance of being a good role model, and that this is not OK. By all means, enjoy your youth, go out and party. But it's not OK to brag about your need for chemical help to enjoy yourself, it's not OK to take your clothes off in public, it's not OK to encourage little girls to look like little boys in that awfully gangly, anorexic way. And it's definitely not OK to prostitute yourself and lessen your actual talent. Please excuse my bluntness, but I believe humans are so much more than 'where I can shove that in'.
I find her claim that she shaved her head, inspired by Sinead, to gain a little control over her image disturbing (obviously I think people can do what they like with their hair/bodies, but in this context, it seems an odd thing to do).

"I just cut my hair and then it really changed my life. There’s something about having no hair that screams being confident. And I think especially because people like to put people in a box — I mean, the names I’ve been called since I cut my hair......I’m at a point where it’s like I know who I am, but I know that I’m not finished figuring that out and I won’t be finished until I’m in the dirt.'   taken from; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2442749/Miley-Cyrus-simulates-sex-Terry-Richardson-shoot-swipes-Sinead-OConnor.html
Let's hope that in time, she delves a little deeper and finds herself some actual self esteem.
