Miley Cyrus

So here is my two cents on Miss Miley. First things first, I'm not utterly obsessed with her, but I also don't bash her. As pretentious as this may sound, I am a psychology student, I tend to analyze people for more than face value. 

I have a theory that she does work hard to shock the world and get their brains off the image of seeing her as Hannah Montana. Miley doesn't want to be called Hannah Montana her whole life. Poor Jaleel White will never shake the name Urkel... Miley doesn't want to end up in a similar situation. And I can't blame her. 

I fully understand people should not judge her, or say she has gone wild compared to her younger years. Hannah Montana was a character, not a representation of Miley; that's what she is attempting to change. She wants to make her own name as Miley, not as a Disney Character. 

Going back to when she started appearing in the media for taking risqué photos, and posing seductively with friends.... SO WHAT! Teens do that all the time. Yeah it's not a good idea to post those images, but I've seen kids do worse. It was only a big deal because she was a role model for young girls. I don't see why people expect celebrities to be perfect, they are allowed the same rights as everyone else. Most of all, they know what pedestal they have been placed on... just like we make our own choices we have to allow celebrities that same right. 

I bring this up because I saw a tweet about things the media doesn't show about Miley. Her good side. They take too much time posting the negative. 

Now most of us understand the media is a money making business, they profit off information people want to see. Unfortunately people love hearing celebrity drama... people tend to love drama regardless where it comes from. 

Now to break it down. I do think she asks for attention. She realizes she's going to get it from the stunts she pulls, outfits she wears, and tweets she posts. For celebrities all publicity is good publicity. Realistically, 'crazy' gains more attention than volunteer work; attempting to save the whales or ladling soup at the soup kitchen.  

I give Miley credit. She has managed to make a name for herself outside of Hannah Montana (which was a bomb show if you ask me). I personally feel she could have the same fan base, possibly larger, if she didn't attempt to shock people to grab their attention. She goes to extreme lengths. In all reality back in Madonna's  day she was considered to be one crazy BIOTCH... Now look at her, she's still rocking it at 50some years old... and people still talk about her. It's all a psychological game in the end. Even if you're talking shit about her.... she still has you saying her name.

 Something to think about.
