Miley Cyrus "We Can't Stop"
Miley Cyrus is all grown up. I mean, I'm surprised that you didn't know this. She has been doing things to show it and basically screaming it at anyone who will listen. She did a duet with Snoop Dogg - er - Lion called "Ashtrays & Heartbreaks" all about how she loves to get high. Grown ups get high. She released a video of herself twerking in a unicorn onesie. Grown ups twerk in unicorn onesies. Just in case you're obtuse or maybe missed them, Miley decided to do one more thing to prove that she is all growed up. She released the video for her new single, "We Can't Stop."
I've seen a lot of articles, blog posts, etc., talking about how shocking this video is and after watching it, my reaction was basically a big shoulder shrug, followed by a "meh." If people think this is controversial, they have a really short memory. Miley is doing what female pop stars have done when they come of age since there have been femal pop stars. It's like Miley had a check list of things she needed to do to finally shed her Hannah Montana image and she dutifully checked each one off. Tight outfit? Check. Booty shaking? Check. Some provocative images? Check. I mean, if a skull made out of french fries, someone pretending to cut their fingers off and Miley twerking all over th place doesn't prove that she's an adult now, I don't know what will. This video is a lot of things, but shocking? Maybe it would be, if it wasn't trying so hard.
So, here it is. After viewing let me know how shocked you were in the comments.
