Miley Cyrus' raunchy performance at the 2013 VMAs, and why I hate her now

[black orb]

>>> That stuff keep selling? I mean, getting naked and look stupid on a music video?

[krissy]

ok

why aren't we concerned about robin thicke who i have heard say on live radio that his recent music video is 'tongue in cheek'

when it is clearly abusive and promotes degradation of women, not unlike his performance with miley that night

i was glad to see backlash at least on my facebook about this
but the front pages of local newspapers only had miley on the cover

bull sheize

Oh Robin Thicke totally grosses me out too. Wtf was he wearing? It was just as bad as what Miley was wearing during the performance. Plus, the music video for that song is seriously smurfed up.

And he doesn't have the benefit of being young and stupid. He's middle aged and stupid.

I was wondering how long it would take for SuperMillionaire to make this thread.

As soon as I saw the thread title I knew who made it. I also knew that he would make a thread about it here as soon as I heard the explosion about it on the internet.

I really can't bring myself to care about Miley's conduct much. The appropriation of black culture is the only thing I find bothersome about her behaviour, and of course Robin Thicke was on stage being about a million times worse and no one gives a smurf because he's not a barely-older-than-teenage girl. Even so, as MILF already pointed out, there are war criminals and trout to worry about. Anyone who "despises" Miley over this has completely lost the plot.

Yah but with robin thicke it isnt anything new. Back in like 2008 he had a song called Sex Therapy that was just about having sex when you want it. It's kinda his thing. It's not right, but it's not new for him. People are shocked about the miley thing cause It's so different than her stuff before. Now on the other hand look at other female "slutpop" artist. Such as early ke$ha. We weren't shocked by her stuff cause that was her image. It's just the drastic change people dont like.

[Jinx]

Robin Thicke has been around since 2008?!

[Pike]

I have no idea who or what Robin Thicke is and I can't be bothered to look it up. Doesn't sound like I'm missing anything.

Edit: As others have said, best not to associate certain "acts" with the actual person. As an example Ke$ha had near perfect SAT scores and took all sorts of history, math, and physics classes just because she thought they were interesting. I don't know if Miley Cyrus is like that because I know nothing about her, but, well, you never know.

Did she rustle your jimmies, SuperMill?

He wishes.

Robin Thicke is more of a disgrace since he's Alan Thicke's son. Pretty sure Alan Thicke has more respect these days than Billy Ray Cyrus.

omg can we get Billy Ray Cyrus and Alan Thicke to remake their children's performance

[Shorty]

Miley can act how she wants. It's not cool to act so desperate for attention, but it's worse to slut shame.

Robin Thicke totally deserve the worse criticism of that performance purely for the sake of his smurfing horrendous and sexist pig song.

I genuinely like Miley. While I normally have no qualms with stuff like how she was in her performance, I think that her -outfit- was what made her look so bad. In the "We Can't Stop" video, she really looks like a cracked out trailer park ho bag. The leggings with the sports bra just aren't flattering.

But she -is- a pretty damn good performer on the whole (anyone remember when she sang "When I Look At You" on So You Think You Can Dance? or when she sang her first single on American Idol?). She's growing up. People need to respect that. Britney went through the same thing.. There was major backlash when she popped out in that nude colored outfit on the VMAs to sing "Oops! I Did It Again".

And aside from that.. It kills me that -parents- are saying "My child doesn't need to see Hannah Montana twerking on stage in the nude!" ... Like, DUH. It's the VMAs, for one. It's freaking MTV, for 2. And 3, change the goddamn channel and spend time with your child instead of bitching about what other people do.

I have no opinion on her music, but the whole tongue thing creeps me out a little.

[Mirage]

She looks like she has a bigger tongue than I have, and I'm like twice her size. That's creepy, indeed.
