I'll say it now, I am a fan of Miley. 'Hannah Montana' was the Disney generation after mine (I was strictly Lizzie and Raven) but it was hard to ignore the phenomenon. This young girl was thrusted in to our face and she was everywhere. She was the original Disney star to have the hit tv show, movie and music career all at one go.
'Hannah Montana' is now over and we are seeing the 'real' Miley. I wrote 'real' instead of real because it can seem like it is a lot. She has transformed. Anyone who is now only just being introduced to her would not believe she sang 'Best of Both Worlds' in a blonde wig and too many plastic accessories. She has now shaved her hair and lost a lot of layers of clothing. Side note - her body is amazing. She has brought the word 'twerk' to a wider audience and she is doing her. When she left Disney I thought that was when we saw who Miley really was. She released 'Can't Be Tamed', she became sexier and her songs were a bit more adult - little did we know this was just a taster.
In recent months she released 'We Can't Stop' and I really liked it (of course until it was played to death). The video was crazy. There is a lot going on - I have to admit I was contemplating a giant teddy bear backpack. She is having fun and we can't be mad at her. She isn't offending anyone, there are no naked pictures floating around and she hasn't said anything offensive. Instead she has used her platform to support gay rights and raise awareness to AID's. So should Miley stop? NO in capitol letters. She is making music no one has heard before, she has created her own style and she makes no apologies. A couple of things that could die down include 'twerking' (we get it, you can do it), her clothes are sometimes questionable and also she is oddly confident of her tongue (Google her and you will no doubt see half the pictures with her tongue out).
What spurred this blog post on was her performance at the MTV VMA's last night. It was interesting to say the least and no one will be talking about her pole dancing at the Teen Choice Awards a couple of years ago anymore. She owned the stage and you can tell she had complete control over the artistic direction. The teddy bears were back (yay), the nude latex outfit was on and she grinded on Robin Thicke. Her voice was flawless and the girl can work a stage. I probably won't feel the need to watch the performance again but I can guarantee it will be talked about for years to come.
She is just being Miley, sit back and enjoy.
P.S I am really enjoying her new song
