We Need To Talk About Miley

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.
