Ok. Let’s
talk about Miley Cyrus.
Up until
yesterday, whenever someone said the name “Miley Cyrus” I instantly thought
about Hanna Montana. She’s the little girl that sing and dance with the Disney
logo behind her, right?
Well, I’m
not so sure Disney ever thought Miley Cyrus would perform wearing almost
nothing, touching her and Robin Thicke’s crotch in this year’s VMAs.
It’s not
that I’m a prude thinking that the little girl Miley Cyrus once was, should
stay the same forever. I used to admire Madonna for her courage and rebellious
way when she got on stage wearing white wedding dress that covers nothing. This
is the same thing. A bold girl trying to break free from her childish image.
Growing up
is a natural thing and Miley Cyrus should behave differently from how she
behaved when she was thirteen. Even so, there are many ways to show adulthood
that doesn't involve getting almost naked on stage, making horrible gestures to
the camera, when young fans are watching.
I guess that
being a superstar today doesn't work very well when you’re fully dressed.
Britney Spears was once a victim of that problem. From being the eternal virgin
she transformed herself into being a sex symbol. It worked so well for her. She
even got to keep her sanity…
Miley Cyrus started walking a new path, the
adulthood path. For us that means working to support yourself and paying your
bills. For Miley Cyrus, who've been working her entire life and made a lot of
money, being adult means getting undressed. The only thing that is left for us is
to hope for the best for the new and adult Miley Cyrus and cover our young kid’s
eyes.
