This Wrecking Ball Can't Be Tamed

Can you guess who/what this post is covering? Yes, good job. Miss Miley Cyrus has caught the attention of Miss Opinionated. But, that's not surprising. It seems she has has captured the attention of the entire nation and goodness knows why! Who would have guessed that sweet little Hannah Montana would end up portraying herself as nothing more than a sick sexual pervert?

We all knew she would grow up one day. She couldn't be Hannah forever. Growing up was inevitable. Now, after all these years, I find myself asking: did she actually grow up at all? She is certainly older, but I would not call her behavior grown up. Sad to say that I think Hannah Montana is more grown up than Miley Cyrus.

The evolution of her image is actually quite stunning.

She started as this:

At this stage, she was a sweet, beautiful, respectful and happy young lady that I would see as a role model for, really, anyone. She was always smiling and always happy. Something that we need more of in this world. She was, as a role model, pure and decent and someone to look up to.

And then we had this:

Okay, she's growing up and maturing. She is making more serious music, she has a movie, she looks like she's on the right track. Still a decent girl with pleasant music that gives inspiring messages, which are the best kind. Still someone I would be proud to have my child (if I had any) aspire to be like. At the this point, she was the kind of celebrity we needed. She was a mainstream music artist that didn't sing about sex or drugs and gave us something to think about. She was different.

Then this happened:

Obviously, she wanted a more a dangerous edge to her image. This was a little strange, but I didn't think much of it. She was just trying to get rid of her Hannah Montana image. Less of a role model, less original, less inspiring. Certainly not someone to look up to. She was now just another music artist. Exactly like the others.

And now:

I can only think of a few words to describe this. Shameful, awful, horrifying, trashy, disgusting. Someone get this little girl out of the limelight. It has destroyed her. Where is that inspiring, beautiful music artist she was just a year or two ago? Miley has obviously done away with her to become a much less attractive and admirable whatever this is. If you haven't seen her 2013 VMA performance, this is a photo from it. I highly recommend you don't watch it. It's nothing special. You'll regret it as it will be five minutes of your life that you won't get back. She's not worth it.

She has thrown away her originality to become another clone of the Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, sexual pervert type that we don't need another of. We really don't. Someone please show us that there is more to people than being sexy. Although there are many words I would use to describe Miss Cyrus, sexy is not one of them, though she is desperately striving to be just that. It's very sad. People think that the greatest achievement in life is to be considered sexy and celebrities like Miley Cyrus don't help with that horrible idea. They promote it. 

So, what to do? How to react? My friends, I don't know. We really can't do anything. Although maybe if we responded less positively or acted less interested in her repulsive behavior, she would stop twerking (so disgusted that's an actual thing) around in her underwear. Seriously, the image is not attractive. It gives me nightmares.

Though it may sound like it, I have never actually been a fan of Miley Cyrus. I didn't hate her and she didn't disgust me on every possible level as is the case today, but I wasn't a fan. She has a pretty voice and I thought she had some real potential. But she has thrown away all potential she had to be something great.

What she doesn't understand is, right now, she might be the topic of discussion and everyone knows who she is and what she does, but five, ten years from now, we will be saying Miley Who? She has not made a lasting imprint or done anything memorable. Soon, we will forget all about her. There are great musicians we will remember forever who never had to twerk to get noticed. A few examples:  The Beatles, Billy Joel, Elton John, Frank Sinatra, Amy Whinehouse, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, Freddy Mercury, Van Halen, The Rolling Stones and that's not all. But Miley Cyrus will never be one of those people. She will be stuck on the list with people we won't know in ten years like Britney Spears, Amanda Bynes, Lindsay Lohan and the Kardashians. In six or seven months, no one will care about her VMA performance anymore. Sure, we might be shocked right after it happens and have a few words to say on the subject, but tomorrow, we won't even remember it because it's not worth remembering.

The sad truth is that she is a young lady that does not act like a lady and she is proud of the fact. She thinks she's "being herself," but I don't think so. I think she's doing whatever she can to get attention be it positive or negative. So, any young ladies who have been a faithful of Miley since she started, please, please, please, give her no more attention. Think nothing more of her. She has not done anything that anyone should be proud of. She is disgusting and not any type of role model. You are better than that. You don't need her. There are plenty of people out there that have good music and act decent at the same time. People we shouldn't feel ashamed to respect and love. Miley, sadly, is not one of them.

So, now that I've addressed our reaction to Miley, what do I think she needs? A lot. Miley needs a lot of things. First off, she needs Jesus. Badly. She might not be able to be tamed, but she needs to be tamed. She needs a good old fashioned spanking. She needs her parents to put their foot down. She needs to put her clothes on and keep her tongue in her mouth. She needs to stop the indecent behavior. She needs to stop with the disgusting and highly inappropriate music videos.

I don't know if you've seen her We Can't Stop or Wrecking Ball videos, but I suggest you don't watch them. They are a waste of life. Miley obviously knows how she wants to be seen and it is not how anyone, anywhere should ever want to be seen. I don't know if she realizes it, but she has disgusted the entire country. More people hate what she has become than approve of it. She's not famous because people adore her, she's famous because people hate her. Even other celebrities are appalled at her.

Rhianna, One Direction, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez react to Miley Cyrus' horrendous VMA performance.

Others tweeted their thoughts:

"I just watched the #VMAs & I know I'm going to have nightmares about Miley Cyrus playing a tiny harp where her "red light area" is." - Jesse Tyler Ferguson

"Things I learned watching the #VMAs2013: There's nothing you can do with a foam finger that you can't air on MTV." - James Van Der Beek

"Watching VMAs. Haven't been in a strip club in a while, but good to see nothing has changed" - Bill Maher

Brooke Sheilds, who played Miley's mother in some Hannah Montana episodes responded by saying, "I was Hannah Montana's mother. I do not approve. Where did I go wrong? I just want to know who's advising her and why it's necessary? Our children can't watch that. I feel like it's a bit desperate."

More like A LOT desperate.

That Parents Television Council was extremely upset with the performance and even Miley's team was a little shocked. A source close to her said, "They saw the rehearsals, but those were really played down compared to the live performance."

So, say what you will about her, but she has certainly gone downhill. She is someone we don't need to see anymore of. She doesn't needs fans, she needs a time out. Just....I don't know....pray for her. She needs help. Lots of help.
