Everybody is ranting and raving about Miley Cyrus and her actions at the VMA awards. While I did not watch the program as it was airing I have seen the pictures and the videos and heard the song. A lot of people are saying that she is a slut, appalling, disgusting, raunchy and a horrible role model. There are also a lot of people saying that she shouldn't have performed that way because she is influencing children to behave in a promiscuous and disrespectful manner. Are you kidding me?
First off, Miley Cyrus has said repeatedly that she does not want to be a role model for children. She has also said that she is no longer Hannah Montana and that she wants a more adult and sexy image to distance herself away from her Disney Channel years. She was a child when she signed on for Hannah Montana and I'm sure that she didn't realize then that she would be labeled as a role model and a child forever because of a few years on a TV show. She isn't for anybody's child to watch anymore. She isn't trying to set an example for anyone to follow. Miley Cyrus is trying desperately to make herself into an adult only entertainer and singer. If you are so removed from your child's life that they have to look up to her then you need to reevaluate how you parent.
Further more, why is nobody upset about Robin Thicke? He was on that stage too the last time I checked. He was letting her grind and twerk on him. He was also the one singing a song that is far more disgusting and raunchy than anything that Miley Cyrus did. The whole song is about the "blurred lines" between a woman wanting sex and a man being too pushy with her. Here is a sample of the lyrics:
You're a good girl
Can't let it get past me
You're far from plastic
Talk about getting blasted
I hate these blurred lines
I know you want it
...
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty
Go ahead, get at me
...
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair like that
So I just watch and wait for you to salute
But you didn't pick
Not many women can refuse this pimpin'
I'm a nice guy, but don't get it if you get with me
Shake the vibe, get down, get up
Do it like it hurt, like it hurt
What you don't like work?
Baby can you breathe? I got this from Jamaica
It always works for me, Dakota to Decatur, uh huh
So nobody has a problem with Robin Thicke and his lyrics and his actions? He did just as much and even more wrong than Miley Cyrus did. I think a lot of people need to look at what they're getting upset and worked up over and reevaluate. Miley Cyrus was not the only person on that stage and she was not the only one behaving sexually.
The fact is, what Miley Cyrus did was not for children. But she isn't trying to be a role model for anybody's child. She is putting herself out there as an adult and she wants to stop being looked at as a child. Everybody needs to stop trying to force that image on her and start realizing that she is now for adults only. If she wants to be sexual and explicit then let her be and ignore it if you don't like it. People need to also take a look at Robin Thicke, his song and his image if they are going to criticize her.
