<p>I don’t understand the big deal. She’s 17, she’s allowed to do something risque. I don’t like her music, but I see nothing wrong with the video. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it/listen to it.</p>
<p>I’m 17 too (Miley and I actually share the EXACT same birthday), and I really can’t imagine myself sensually caressing my half-exposed breasts. She is in the music industry, so things are a bit different for them I guess.</p>
<p>I think she looks pretty with the peacock feathers but absolutely disgusting everywhere else. I mean, I’m 16 and most of my friends are 16/17/18 and NONE of them would do anything like this >.<</p>
<p>I don’t know why every one is so quick to judge miley cyrus. She’s more successful, at her age, than any of us. She’s a musician, so let her experiment with her tastes and try different things. She might not like how the video came off, so won’t do similar projects. But at least she tried. Let her find new styles as she becomes no longer contained by disney channel (im not saying that this is what she should do, I agree it didn’t work). It’s not like she’s doing pornography or anything.</p>
<p>Agree with Millancad…
I heard on the radio yesterday morning on the way to school that she also gave a lap dance to a 44 yr old man when she was 16.
Whatever.</p>
<p>And you believed that? :facepalm:
I’m not even a fan of her music, but I just don’t get why some people tear apart celebrities. They’re just other people. It’s like it makes you guys feel better. In all honesty, if she were around you/ “hanging out with you” you’d probably be hypocritical, get all giggly, and pretend like you love her.</p>
<p>Respect other people. You don’t know her personally so I wouldn’t be so mean.</p>
<p>**** ADD ON. I just googled the miley cyrus lap dance with a 44 year old…first of all, did you see the pictures!!! It’s obviously not a “lap dance.” She’s just laughing and messing around a little at a laid back party. Second of all, THE GUY IS GAY!! So obviously it’s a joke. Seriously Nomita, if Miley were in your class or something and you spread rumors like that about her without looking up the truth, you would owe her an apology.</p>
<p>I feel like so many people here are too prude</p>
<p>First its fame, then drugs, then eventual suicide.</p>
<p>A lot of young stars don’t get a proper education, so other than acting, they have no real job opportunity. Maybe she could be some spokeswoman when she’s all old and ugly (not saying she isn’t right now)</p>
<p>I don’t understand the Lady Gaga references. It looks like Miley is trying to be sexy (more like the Pussycat Dolls) than glamorous (Gaga). And you can tell they spent a lot of money on the music video, because having CGI wings is pretty expensive. </p>
<p>Disney stars are known to have songs with pretty shallow lyrics, this one is no exception. Blah.</p>
<p>Don’t like her slouching, she is pretty but she can’t carry clothes well. Also, yeah, I noticed her eye expression when she sings a high note, it’s weird. One more thing, her bird outfit is scary, looks like a huge sparrow</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>****ing agreed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You don’t like her slouching?! Look back on what you just wrote. Seriously, I wonder what YOU look like. How could you care so much to write that? And you’re saying she can’t carry clothes…so for what modeling agency do you judge for? And you have a problem with her eye expression when she sings a high note. Honestly, go do something more productive with your time. If you’re a guy, stop being such a *****. If you’re a girl, stop being so snotty and open up your shell and go hang out with some real people.</p>
<p>Sorry for the rant…some pathetic people sometimes just irritate me</p>
<p>^ that was random</p>
<p>was this lap dance thing real?</p>
<p>She’s pretty-ish, I hate her singing voice, so I suppose I hate this video.</p>

make of it what you will. but it’s true the guy is gay.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>no need get so riled up… part of fame is being openly criticized.</p>
<p>^That was a practice essay in my Barron’s book. Should celebrities be entitled to privacy?</p>
<p>Not really… criticism and invasion of privacy are not the same thing.</p>
<p>Doesn’t look like anything different than what happens at homecoming. Plenty of 15/16/17 year olds there. </p>
<p>PS- I love the line “The people who shot the video say they were offended by the dirty dancing – which included a graphic lap dance.”
Bwahahaha. Offended? Whatever. If they were offended, they would have STOPPED shooting and walked away. No, they weren’t offended. They were seeing dollar signs. Maybe they were offended by how little TMZ offered them for the video that no one cares about.</p>
<p>I also like how everyone is calling her a whore. The man is 44 years old. She is 16. If this were ANY OTHER PERSON, who would we blame? The 44 year old adult male who SHOULD know better than to let a 16 year old rub up against him :rolleyes:</p>
<p>^^I suppose so, although it did make me recollect that essay prompt.</p>
