VMA Performance


It has been made very clear from previous class discussions that most, if not all of us, are aware of Miley Cyrus's scandalous performance at the VMA's. To many, it has been viewed as a very inappropriate and degrading performance. Only a select few have voiced that they just see it as another way of expressing herself. The viewers’ opinions have been stated loud and clear, but the way they approached or addressed the situation have varied. Take blog writer, Rihanna, for example. She wrote a blog as if she were talking directly to Miley. Instead of making harsh accusations and scolding her for her wrong-doings, she sympathized and even tried to encourage her. No, she did not support any of the actions Miley had done, but she expressed her opinion in a very refreshing, “mother-like” way. I couldn’t agree more with this blog writer. Sometimes all the hatred in the world can lead people to feel worthless and the constant personal attacks only make matters worse. This blogger took the situation into her own hands and expressed her opinions in a respectful and appropriate manner. She didn’t support any of Miley’s outrageous behaviors; she simply put into perspective how her actions not only affect her image, but the young viewers watching her as well. She sees something much deep than a shameful performance. She sees a broken, pressured, lost girl who just needs some guidance. I appreciate the way this blog was written and give much of my respect to her approach of the situation..Now if only Miley would read it and take it to heart.

Here is the link to the blog:
