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.
