MILEY CYRUS: SHE CAN'T STOP
AND SHE WON'T STOP!
Is Miley Cyrus behaviour getting out of control?

Since Miley Cyrus’ first single of her new album Bangerz, We Can’t Stop has managed to 'twerk' itself up to number one in the UK charts. It seems she has also managed to swing in and out of the newspaper’s headlines due to the outrage of her provocative actions in her new music video, Wreckingball and conflict between her and singer, Sinead O’Connor. We’re all thinking the same thing- right? Where did the old Miley go? Of course I love a bit of Miley Cyrus, don’t we all? I think that she is a very beautiful, inspiringly strong icon to many. However I have found myself asking myself that certain question quite a lot recently- where the hell did she go? 


It seems that Miley has taken the whole ‘grown up’ aspect to another level, trying to part from her old Hannah Montana ways; however I think that its message to the public hasn’t been so successful. In fact, I think that she has given off more of a childish impression, especially when watching her performance at the VMA’s. I feel as though she is trying too hard to give off a different look compared to her younger acting days, especially during her performance at the VMA awards, where she sexually exploited herself with a skimpy outfit, 'twerking' upon Robin Thicke. The shock horror hit Twitter with tweeters and celebrities raging and posting tweets about Miley’s behaviour, where everyone seemed to have shared the same views- her performance, Blurred Lines, with Robin Thicke went too far and instead, she crossed the line.

Miley Cyrus’ new single, Wreckingball was also criticised and left the nation shocked when her video was released of her swinging on a wrecking ball in full nudity, and licking a sledge hammer. I was in total shock, let alone the public, and this seemed to flag up the chance for many people, even celebrities themselves to mock Miley’s music video. Now don’t get me wrong, publicising yourself as much as possible to increase your popularity is a given in the music industry, however since when has it been okay to publicise through an explicit way? Is this the kind of role models we want young girls to aspire to be like - bringing them up to follow Miley’s inappropriate behaviour? What must her father thought- as he watched his daughter swing on a wrecking ball naked?


It’s just so disappointing to see Miley in the newspapers so much, being slated for what she has done or said, and knowing that she is a role model to so many people. I admire people who have the confidence to show off that they love the skin they are in, but since when was it acceptable to post pictures and videos of you half naked or even fully naked? The fact that she is relying on her presence and sex appeal to make her music career is beyond me. Does she not want people to appreciate the talent within the music she makes?
