Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Miley Cyrus’s New Video and the Backlash it’s Receiving From – Surprise, Surprise – Parents

Have you seen this video yet? Probably not. There wasn’t a huge amount of hubbub around it ’til it started pissing parents off, so there you have it.  Guess it mustn’t have been all that great to begin with.

My take? The video’s really stupid. And, yup, so is the song if you’re wondering my take on that, too. Miley’s bumping and grinding in a white beater is painfully awkward, the synthesizers don’t quite take the nasal quality away from her voice entirely enough, and her chipmunk grill is overly-accentuated by the strobe lights in the discotheque.

Parents Television Council president Tim Winter claims that Miley’s sending the wrong message to today’s kids:

“It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one. It sends messages to her fan base that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point. Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly.”

I mean, yeah. She’s writhing pantsless on a bed and rubbing up on her chest and frankly, the girl’s got some great legs, but I think the whole thing comes off about as sexual as The Care Bears in Concert.

  • All I can focus on is her slumped back. Can this girl not stand/sit up straight? Even when she’s dancing, she looks like a hunchback. Every time she’s on the red carpet, she ruins whatever dress she’s in because she cannot. stand.up.straight.

  • RE: the hands & the hunchback – she’s trying to be lady gag gag. i gather this from watching “behind the scenes” video of miley singing & dancing to gaga; she’ totally infatuated with her & her impression of her is just BALLS. stop it, kid. just. stop.

  • it’s like miley is sitting in her room or something thinking: what can i do so everybody talks about how shocking, inmoral and incoherent i am?.
    at first i was kind of weird looking at her like this, but now it’s just boring, of course she was going to do this kind of stuff… shocking would’ve been if she had done something different. we get it miley you have legs!!!

    btw this girl seriously needs some dance lessons, she cant move!!! it’s like she’s have some kind of muscle contractions while she tries to shake her body and look sexy… and that top she’s wearing? they were out like 8 years ago

  • what’s with her hair? She looks like she got electrocuted, and her clothes are absolutely ridiculous, like she’s trying to be the next Lady Gaga, but no one likes a copy cat. Plus, it’s like she’s trying to be slutty now. Is she even legal yet? Can’t she wait until she’s at least 18 years old to throw out sexual videos so they aren’t banned as kiddie porn? She needs voice lessons, dance lessons, and basically over-all life lessons. The only reason she’s famous is because she has a rich one-hit-wonder daddy who has connections.

  • I’m sorry but the message that most people are missing is that Miley gets off on music. She is not slutty for men or people. She dances provocatively because the beat makes her feel alive. Who cares if she’s 17 or 12 or 96! The song implies that she has strong feelings about music in general and is in love with her art. “Is it love or is it art”. Madonna’s “like a virgin” seems more sluttier and about sex than this video is.

    Some people are saying that her clothes are waaay out of date and what is with her hair???? well, i think she was going for
    an 80’s pop divaish look for parts of the video. If she wasn’t, well then that is what i took out of it. I don’t think she is trying to copy Lady Gaga as some have suggested. It doesn’t look like she can dance that well, but who cares, her music has really improve. I was reminded of Shakira’s She-Wolf when Miley was making the almost Michael Jackson like hand jestures from thriller. I wouldn’t have a problem if this was my daughter, except to tell her to make a more interesting video cuz this was a little boring.

  • Miley’s like alot of girls in my school.
    Just bc she started off as a little girl doing disney movies doesn’t mean anything. She’s much older now. It’s funny how no one says anything about katy perry or kesha when they are just the same. This is who miley is…get over it!
