Your thoughts on Miley Cryus at the VMAs?

[Bigrayok]

She got what she wanted out of it. She got a lot of publicity and has distanced herself from Hannah Montana. I am just as shocked that MTV, originally called Music Television, acutally showed something music related.

It was talentless trash and void of any redeeming value for other then shock value. With any luck we can get her an early admittance to the 27 club so my eyes/ears wont be defiled like that again.

Dude, no. It's never okay to wish that someone would die because you don't like their music or agree with their antics.

Looks like we have trash of our own here with senseless comments like that. Dislike the music and person all you want. I don't care a bit about Miley. However to say it would be luck to have an individual die is just an exposure of poor character and horrible individual with no class.

I guess the same could be said of drug dealers and pornographers.... it must be okay because some people like it. What a standard. There is no "wrong" as long as there is a crowd to see it.

Never said it was okay or that I approved of it. So not exactly sure where your attitude to my post is coming from.

Since you brought up pornography...

Here is a Top 10 list I don't know if the State is happy to make. LOL

We are #8 in the average visit duration to adult entertainment websites...

Can't go late night tipsy walking through the internet without seeing something about this girl and her recent antics. Disney sure does seem to mess up the young people that worked for them sometimes. Lady GaGa's costume look like a unused tampon. Just not my form of entertainment.

[Cocaine]

I just don't care about what Miley Cyrus does just ignore her and she'll go away. Like most people she looks a whole lot better with her clothes on and it wasn't that raunchy. Also it's MTV they've sucked for a long time this is the kind of trash that people should expect from MTV. It's like going to a bootie shakin contest and being surprised when you something nasty.

Trash you say?
Stick to your weather reports and your 64 ounce big gulps Mr holier-then-thou.

It was meant to be tounge in cheek and part humorous.
Lighten up.....

As a few others noted, it was a well rehearsed spectacle with the press hitting the airwaves as planned to make sure people are still aware that MTV is there and yes it's still producing crap like a backed up commode at a Taco Bell.

This should be nothing shocking to anyone. It won't be long and they will likely show a few live sex acts (jam packed with nudity and every bodily fluid red, brown, yellow, green and clear) on the VMA's.

Why do they do it? Because it gets people to talk about the VMA's. As they say "Your not talking good about us but, at least your talking about us. That's all that matters."

Without shock and awe, nobody would be talking about the VMA's. Just simply because they would fall in the pile with all the other awards shows that are showing almost weekly these days.

Come to think of it, there are too many awards shows these days. I am surprised there is not an Award Show Awards Show. Shouldn't the people that put award shows together be recognized for all the labor behind schmoozing and putting up with all the celebritrash.

My thoughts about Miley Cyrus...

See, that's probably the point. You probably weren't thinking about her at all before. LOL

To all the Madonna . . . Lady Gaga . . . Miley Cyrus . . . Etc. . . . Fans out there . . .

[ljbab728]

I agree about Madonna and Miley but I like me some Lady Gaga. She can be a little controversial at times but mainly she's just fun.

[venture]

I really don't see how you can put Miley in the same category as Madonna, GaGa, or other more established performers/singers. GaGa can at least sing and play a piano fairly well. Ehhh...as others have said, this is what Miley was after and everyone played into it. She is now #1 on iTunes purchases. Congrats for making her a bunch of money.

I remember listening to that album on headphones and feeling no pain at the time.

Sorry, I don't find it to be funny, regardless of who it was directed to. I don't care for Taylor Swift, and find most of her performances off-key and boring, but I don't go on the internet, wishing her death as a joke. I just don't listen.

The VMA's have a history of provocative performances (Prince's assless chaps, Madonna's "Like a Virgin," etc.). Why would this year be any different? Don't get me wrong, her performance wasn't my cuppa tea, but I'm not offended by it. I chose to watch it. I didn't have to, and neither did anyone else, except for the people in the live audience at the show.

Agree. Prince's clothing is nothing compared to his early antics while performing on stage.

The song that she sang, "We won't stop," is an anthem about basically doing whatever you want without worrying about others judging you, being yourself, loving who you want. Pretty sure that's what her performance was -- Cyrus doing whatever it is that she does.

BTW, Miley Cyrus has stated that the song "We Can't Stop" is about Molly, a highly addictive drug.

Never heard of it.... Glad all this stuff wasn't around when I was a teenager.

As first written on theantijared.com

Dear daughter,

I did not watch the VMA’s. I was up with you. I was helping with your feedings. I burped you. I made sure your diaper was fresh and I also made sure that your swaddle was tight. I am the king of swaddling.

The next day I went on Facebook and saw 50,000 statuses about Miley Cyrus. She dressed provocatively and danced to “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke. Your brother and I sing the clean version of that song. He always wants to know what rhymes with “Hug Me”. I think a lot of people want to actually know what rhymes with “Hug Me”. Heyheyheyhey!!!!!

She twerked. Twerking is a form of “booty popping”. People were offended. Moms who preach body image were saying she had no ass to do that. People who “never judge” started to judge. Miley became a poor role model for young kids.

Keep in mind that Leann Rimes stole a woman’s husband. Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes have been arrested numerous times. Demi Lovato punched someone. Taylor Swift has dated numerous men in Hollywood and most ended up poorly. You can hear it in her songs.

Yet you never hear much about Miley except she twerked and was provocative on the biggest stage at the time. On cable. She danced and got attention. Maybe it was in bad taste. She comes from a line of poor taste. You probably do not remember Billy Ray’s mullet.

But that is not the point of all of this. I am writing this because I promise you that no celebrity will be your role model. Growing up my role model was your grandfather. I saw him wake up every morning at 4am to go to work. He never slept in. He worked in a factory for twelve hours a day and still had time to play ball with me. He was there for me when I wanted to take acting lessons. He was there for me when I wanted to play football. He worked over 70 hours a week and he always had time for me.

He taught me about family. He taught me about love. He taught me about being a good father.

You are going to have numerous talents. Everyone in our family does. But they will not be exploited. Maybe you will have a great voice…you will not try out for a reality show as long as you live at home. Maybe you will be a great actress. There are plenty of local theaters for you to perform until you are eighteen. You will be a good student. You will have support and love at home. You will not have to look at the television for a role model.

Miley Cyrus is not stupid and the people around her are not as well. The reality is attention is more important than anything else. She did nothing to harm people. People who condemn her are not going to heaven any quicker than the rest of us.

But I did not watch the VMA’s. I was taking care of you. And I promise that you will appreciate that I did.

Love,

Dad
