Miley Cyrus


Hey guys it's Jess. 

Let me talk about Miley Cyrus. Not in the 'I hate what she is doing why would she do that' kind of way, the way that 'I understand what she is doing I just think she needs to think about her audience better'.

This is where I get really annoyed at people saying crap about her. Yes I understand that she should not have done it on a family tv show etc. But can we PLEASE remember that the person she was 'twerking' on is a 30 year old man who has children. So why has (hashtag) Robin Thicke had no backlash from what he did. He allowed that 21-22 year old 'twerk' on him. Do NOT come to me and say 'o he probably didn't know' because HE KNEW. That show would have been rehearsed 1000 times (obviously an exaggeration, but it would have been rehearsed). So where do we get off 'shaming' Miley and giving her the publicity to 'shaming' (hashtag) Robin Thicke.

My next problem comes with her new video. Honestly, the video WASN'T that bad. Yes I see that she is naked and yes I see her like being weirdly sexual with the sledge hammer and the wrecking ball but the only problem I see is the weird sexual licking of the sledge hammer. But other than that the video is not as bad as it seems. I mean there is A LOT worse videos out there (let me remind you of [hashtag] Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines video) this was mild compared to that. 

Now that I've let all that off my chest I'm going to tell you all about a conversation I had with my boss the other day about this topic. 

We were sitting around while doing our afternoon tea stuff and the conversation of the video came up. My boss had said she hadn't seen it but had seen that there was 'controversy'. We talked about how we thought that she was trying to change her auidence to more of an adult scene and she said this; 

I don't think that it's a bad thing that she is trying to change her audience she just has to remember there are younger children out there who would still be looking at her as Hannah Montanna.  

Which I think sums it up well. I do agree she can change her audience and she can do it in anyway she wants it's just she does have to remember there will be 8-10 year olds who think she is Hannah Montanna and wouldn't understand why they now can't watch or see more from her. 

See you soon!

P.S At least her songs are decent
