I feel like we're missing a Miley Cyrus thread.

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous Conjectures' started by Rose, Aug 27, 2013.

  1. What the fuck happened at the VMAs last night? I'd post a video, but it's too disgusting, raunchy, and disturbing to appear here. Also, if you mention the Will Smith picture that's supposedly a reaction to it, while accurate, is from Lady Gaga's performance. Gold star for trying.
     
  2. I think we just need to take a second and talk about the man that she was all up on - Robin Thicke, who is a married man and did absolutely nothing to stop it. It's pretty incredible that he has the audacity to sing a song that is more or less about rape/blurred lines of consent, but is somehow able to keep his marriage intact. I don't know about the ladies on ZEJ, but I would have expected a huge scandal to occur after that performance.

    That said, though, Miley has clearly also flown off of her rocker. Guess she qualifies on the list of child stars who have lost it due to the pressures of fame.

    On top of all of that, her next video is to feature her swinging naked on a wrecking ball. I guess you need to do what you need to do to make it big these days.
     
  3. That's what she said!

    On the subject of the thread as a whole, though, I don't pay attention to any 'Miley Cyrus news or scandals'. I remember there being talk, though, as early as two or three years ago of her father beginning to publicly disapprove of her actions. I guess we can see where that's taken Miss Cyrus.

    I can say I liked her voice acting work in Bolt and The Emperor's New School, though. Oh well, if she needed to turn psychotic...
     
  4. Yes. I would be pissed if I caught Trevin/any boyfriend of mine doing that. Not that I would allow myself to stoop that low, and while Robin Thicke does have pretty eyes, this is insane. Amanda Bynes at least has a mental illness excuse, and I watched that Wrecking Ball video. The song isn't bad, but her swinging is completely irrelevant to the song itself. The song is catchy for some reason (I blame the fact it sounds like It's A Small World or something), and people seem incredibly oblivious to the fact that it does, indeed, talk about the "blurred lines" of consent. But that's how far music has stooped to, and I want to punch the people who made that a thing. Here's an interesting video my APUSH teacher showed my class:

    You can tell where it got dirty and raunchy. It's not Miley Cyrus' fault, but there are better ways for child stars to handle fame, look at Neil Patrick Harris, the Harry Potter cast, Tia and Tamera, Raven Symone, Joseph Gordon Levitt, etc. They're doing alright for themselves, NPH with his family, Harry Potter cast doing various different things, Tia and Tamera have a reality show and have families, Raven is an LGBT advocate and still doing a little bit of Disney stuff (She's in the Tinker Bell movies), and JGL has his acting career in good shape. There are ways to handle fame, and Miley Cyrus isn't doing it very well.
     
  5. As with Cerby I really just don't pay attention to that shit.
     
  6. Seriously. There are better things to get bent out of shape over than some celebrity going insane. This shit happens all the time.
     
  7. related.

    But to revive this discussion, I think I have come to a similar conclusion to what I had said in my last post... however, I need to retract my earlier statement about how Miley has 'flown off her rocker,' as more recent interviews with her have proven that she is entirely cognizant of what she is doing. As in, all of these moves are actually just statements - it's what you do in the pop industry. Madonna, Britney, Gaga, and now Miley have all done it over the years.

    I guess it doesn't really excuse her from public scrutiny, but behind all the 'bangerz' and her twerking fiasco, she is actually pretty talented. In the linked video, she covers Lana del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" to great effect.
     
  9. I had heard that before on Tumblr and I thought it was alright. Her Wrecking Ball song is not a bad song, it's the video that's disturbing. I'm not a fan of her music, but I won't try and defend her shenanigans with talent. Antics like these are why I hate the music industry.
     
  10. Literally the only time I've liked Miley Cyrus was in the movie Bolt.

    Not too bad, I guess.
