Always be true to yourself – – Or somebody…
You already know I’m not a big Miley Cyrus fan. Hannah Montana is terrible. The music sucks. The kids are idiots. Billy Ray Cyrus is in it. Wait, I don’t think you caught that…Billy Ray Cyrus is in it. AS AN ACTOR. Not only is it shocking that someone procreated with Mr. Achy-Breaky mullet, but their demon spawn has made it onto lunchboxes throughout the retail world (in other words, not just Walmart).
Hannah-hate aside, I just saw an early morning public service announcement in the classic tween-Disney style. It was Miley Cyrus talking about the new video for her new single. It’s a hackneyed MTV concept. She’s kind of bopping and vamping in a torso shot with a sterile background. There are ersatz musicians in the frame behind her – at least sometimes. Not particularly creative and not particularly surprising. Some of her adolescent attempts at generating Jagger-esque orgasma-lips are kind of extra gross, but I’m sure those wacky kids will love it.
Anyway, good ol’ Miley is talking about the lyrical message. Apparently, it’s her core message to her fans. Stay true to yourself – that’s what is most important in life (and many more words to that fact).
Here’s the thing – Miley Cyrus has gotten famous portraying a girl who gets famous by pretending to be somebody else. Does the irony make your brain hurt too? Maybe I’m just too sensitive.
