Seeing as Miley Cyrus has spent the last two months or so bouncing from magazine to tabloid with her ridiculous and raunchy antics I decided to allow you my view on her situation. Lucky you.
At the VMA Music Awards in August, former Hannah Montana pop star Miley Cyrus took to the stage wearing a nude coloured underwear set, 'twerking' on teddy bears and dancing with Robin Thicke (shudder). This seemed to be her baptism of fire into her new persona. Since then she has smoked a joint on stage whilst accepting awards, danced provocatively with dwarfs (?) and released a music video where she licks a hammer. Now, I totally get that she has spent her entire life as this blonde, Tennessee country pop star Hannah Montanna, and is primarily, a disney child star. So whilst I think the stuff she is getting up to is quite frankly stupid and disgusting, I don't blame her for wanting to break free from this.
However, the complaint of many (including myself) is that due to her disney career, Miley Cyrus will forever be a kids star. The age group of her fans are pretty much around 11-14, which raises the argument of her being a bad example to these kids. Suddenly Hannah Montana fans are going to buy tickets to her concerts which will be nothing but glorified strip shows. Young girls are going to start sticking their tounges out and twerking on things. But is this Miley Cyrus' fault? Should her life be constantly tied down to being a good example for these children? Is that really fair? It seems as if the only option for child stars is to die down into non-existence or shock everyone when they announce that they actually want to have some fun. In all fairness you'd see worse behaviour coming from normal non-famous girls her age, but because of her highlighted life of fame, she gets all the stick for it. Sort of doesn't seem too fair?
This blog post has no real meaning or formulated ending. I'm not even making any point, other than child disney stars are sort of trapped in a cycle of good example vs living your life. I would however like to point out that I am in no agreement to Miley Cyrus' behaviour, but she wants to do it and so thats that. Give the girl a break?
