It's no secret that The Curmudgeon once had a big old creepy crush on Miley Cyrus. I didn't like her music or her TV show (although "See You Again" is undeniably great), but she was Johnny Storm levels of hot. Over the last few months though, that has changed from "hot" to "what the fuck are you even doing?"
Clearly trying to establish herself to an older audience, she released the truly dismal "We Can't Stop", which I'm half way through writing a review for on Amazon as we speak. She went from this
Extremely pretty, cute and almost (remarkably attractive) girl next door type
to this
All "look at me! Look at me! I'm sexy and DANGEROUS and EDGY and not-at-all trying way too hard.
And if you have an internet connection, I'm sure you've heard of, seen or seen the parodies and memes of Miley Cyrus' performance at the VMA's. I normally avoid these crappy award shows like fucking death, but even I was curious to see what the fuss was all about.
I won't post the link because it's hot garbage, but here's the bullet points: Miley Cyrus performs on stage, sticks her tongue out, shakes her ass, strips down to her underwear and then gyrates and dry humps a clearly embarrassed and almost horrified Robin Thicke, who couldn't be LESS into the whole thing if it was his own mother rubbing her ass onto his crotch. It was horrible.
But then, maybe that was the point. I'm sure there's some reptilian record boss high fiving Miley because, hey, SHE is the most talked about woman in music right damn now and that she is the only thing people will remember about that year's VMA's.
So is that all it is now? Disguise the lack of ideas and piss-poor song by getting half naked? At least when Madonna did it there was all kinds of religious taboo imagery and genuine sexuality involved. At least when Gaga does it there's all kinds of weird shit going on, and at least in both those cases the songs were far superior examples of pop? There is literally nothing here, except some idiot girl being told to be "raunchy" to get online headlines and Twitter posts. Fucking depressing.
Anyway, I'll leave you with this. And sadly it's Robin Thicke and not Beetlejuice.
