Big Bad Miley?


Posted October 29th, 2009 by Tony


Most of you know I love Hannah Montana. You make fun of me but it’s just true so I’ll deal with your insults and sneers later. I read this earlier and gotta say I disagree… Anyone heard of Kanye? Bernie Madoff? Vick? Chris Brown?

Miley Cyrus: Worst Celebrity Influence of 2009 By Dana Flax

In a somewhat shocking turn of events, Miley Cyrus has been named the worst celebrity influence of 2009 by a poll conducted with tweens and teens. (OK, maybe it’s not so shocking when you consider the “slant eyes” picture and the pole-dancing routine.)

Taking 42% of the votes, Miley even beat No. 2 Britney Spears and No. 3 Kanye West (for Pete’s sake!) in the online poll. But, why, kids?

“I think Miley is in an interesting space where she is trying to graduate from being ‘Hannah Montana’ and a Disney channel celebrity and coming into her own and having a career beyond Disney,” said Stephanie Cohen, editor of JSYK.com (the AOL-owned tween site that conducted the poll.)

“I think her fans still want her to be the sweet Hannah Montana and she is trying to age up … Parents are definitely resisting it,” Cohen told Reuters.

Cohen also offered fellow teen singer Taylor Swift as antidote to Miley’s controversial “not a girl, not yet a woman” antics.

“I think Taylor Swift has done a great job of showing her true self and coming across as very sweet and down to earth. A lot of her songs are about the underdog and teens can really relate to her,” said Cohen.

Well, Miley may have gotten herself into a few sticky situations this year, but have you heard about this Noah Cyrus character? We hear she’s the true blue pole-dancin’ badass of the Cyrus clan.

tony you have a point with the whole chris brown thing, but miley’s situation is way different.She has made a name for herself as a disney icon. The audience that she attracts are young girls. They look up to her. If they see superstar miley dancing on a pole then they are going to want to do that too. She is also only 16 years old, wearing skimpy clothes and dancing on poles and shaking her groove-thang in little shorts. Parents aren’t going to want their daughters to dress or act like that. Also, the parents know who her father is and know that in the past he had trouble with drugs or alcohol. When Miley first came out, he stated that he was going to watch out for her and make sure she doesn’t get caught up in the scandals of being a celebrity. I know people think that being a celebrity automatically drags you into scandals, but look at Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, The Jonas Bros, Zach Efron…they still have a positive image.
In our opinion, this all comes down to the fan base. All celebrities need to realize that they are role models and they need to becareful about how they portray themselves.

Seriously I adore Miley Cryus and yeah maybe she has made a few mistakes but who hasn’t she is human we all fall short.But she is a follower not sure you knew that. We all sin and learn from those sins and sometimes we don’t but eventually they help us become a better person in the end. She has come along way and is super talented and gifted and people look up to her.I do feel she is a role model for teens these days.I feel sad that the situation with her has to stay with her. The thing is she is doing her best to make the best choices she can. She is going to make mistakes and is in the public EYE.We aren’t it is sucky all the world gets to see her mistakes. It would be the same for us if we were having are picture taken by the media.It is just really sad you know to see so many people in this world get trashed. I look at it is she is another sister in christ and I love to love her.We don’t like peoples behavior but at the end of the day we have to forgive them and know they messed up and they are the ones who have to live with the mistake and allow it to eat at them.Also she may have already asked for forgiveness from God since we don’t know her heart we don’t really know. But the thing is I think other then that she is classy and means well and wants to touch the life’s of other people with her music.
