    No matter what she does, it will never be as bad as Achey Breaky Heart.

    Your not alone. I actually think Gaga's a very good musician and it's very evident when she does stripped down acoustic versions of some of her songs on the piano. I just personally don't think she necessarily needs all the over - the - top theatrics she's done.

    Although now her stuff seems tame to what happened during the Miley/Thicke performance last night.[face_plain]

    Miley just raped the childhood of about two million Hannah Montana fans. Special hell.

    Your second point is made well enough, but I don't really see what you are on about with the first. She was attempting to be provocative in her performance. People were provoked. I don't know that there's a high-minded defense to be made of what is transparently a marketing strategy--especially when the response elicited was apparently the one intended.

    Speaking of, do you think they're will be bonfires of Hanna Montana merchandise by moral guardians who want to demonize her, kind of like what happened to Beatles stuff in the '60s after John Lennon's "bigger than Jesus" flap?

    I'm sure stores currently with heavily marked down Hanna Montana merchandise on the shelves who can't give the stuff away will appreciate the sales.

    The problem is there's several other of her peers who are more talented, including Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift(although Swift's constant ex-boyfriend becomes instant song gets old). So her provocation is without any actual music to back it up.

    Madonna got away with her provocation backed by sometimes pedestrian music(usually not written or produced by her even) because she was a pioneer of provocation. Gaga gets away with it because she has talent and real songs(plus she can write and sing the heck out of those songs). Miley is neither pioneer nor musical act.

    She's an act without one. I fear for her future.

    I doubt it... that was nearly 50 years ago, and in Alabama. People are going a little overboard with the outrage. She did a provocative routine and didn't pull it off well. It's not the end of the world. She did what she intended to do... shed the Hannah Montana child star shiz. She went overboard, but I think that was the intention. I have to agree with Tom and Kendra. The slut shaming is worse than the actual performance.

    Now the obligatory "I don't give a ****" statement...Oh wait that was it. Carry on.

    ShaneP: I don't really follow her career or any others, so I can't pick up all the nuance in your post, I think we actually agree. I wasn't frowning on the criticism of Cyrus. I was pointing out that you can't really call it unwarranted because she wanted it.

    Yeah, we do agree. I was expanding on your point about her provocation and why her act was transparent and could point to larger problems with her now and in the future.

    Mortimer, hey, it's Tony Danzaig. [face_devil]

    I love his hit song Mona.

    If it wasnt for people complaining about Miley Cyrus I wouldn't even know who she is.

    Thank you all for your vigilance in making sure news like this is constantly on the first page.

    It's impossible for our current culture to not dissect, react & discuss (no matter in which way you do so) etc, matters of relative insignificance such as this. Much like the massive national circle jerk over the NFL (in some aspects) that will commence shortly. :p

    Why can't Robin Thicke go away? His hair makes me want to punch him in the face. It's Michael Bolton hair.

    None, zero, zilch, nada.

    (Although I used to have a Britney Spears doll of her wearing her schoolgirl outfit my sister got me as a gag gift for Christmas.)
