On last night’s Britain’s Got Talent, a leotard-clad Miley Cyrus wailed her latest song “Can’t Be Tamed.” And pretended to kiss a lady! Call me when you’re actually kissing people, Miley. I get that the Disney star’s image has taken a slight turn for the Lohan, and that the video for this song all about being sexy and badass or whatever, but this Gaga/Britney redux is a surprisingly snoozy take on the unleash-the-teen-beast genre. Video ahead!
I am much more scandalized by peep-toe platform boots (the horror…) than I am by a simulated girl-on-girl kiss, mostly because, uh, 17-year-olds are pretty much free to smooch whomever they’d like (within an appropriate age range). It’s gonna take a little more than a (badly) simulated kiss for me to rank Hannah Montana among the Britney/Christina teen queens. Where does this land on your scandolometer, PopWatchers?
Um. Is it me or does she have the worst posture ever? Where’s her neck?
*yawn*
About 20 years too late…
attention whore!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing. Holy Hunchback, Batman.
Melinda Doolittle”s love child?
totally!!! neckless wonder. britney you are not miley cyrus. please stop trying.
See bruno, unlike Britney, Miley actually still SINGS her songs so you’ll have to excuse her for being a tad distracted. I think that’s just a bad costume. The feathers are eating up her neck.
ZERO stage presence atleast
Britney puts on a good show!
You might be right, Emma, but I really wish she would stop. She sounds like she’s been smoking for years, and it sounds more like sing-song talking than actual singing. I would give her a pass if she were actually entertaining, but she doesn’t even have that going for her. As of right now, she’s coasting along on the fame she reaped from being a Disney darling, with little girls and boys worshiping the ground she walked on. But time is ticking, and she obviously knows it, because the girl is doing everything she can to stretch out her career. There’s only so far one can get on gas fumes without actually making a pit stop, though, and she just doesn’t have any talent in her arsenal to fuel up on. I give her a year or two more before her slide into irrelevancy begins, unless she pulls a Lohan or Hilton and makes a career of exploiting herself (even more) for pap shots.
Because EVERYRTHING – and I mean EVERYTHING – comes back to either Britney, Gaga, or Madonna.
Miley is 17. Miley needs to keep her name in people’s mouths/blogs/minds. Thus this performance. NEXT!
Sorry to hate, Emma, but her posture is that of a 12 year old boy’s. Did you see her at the Oscars? Talk about gangly, awkward teenager playing grown up with her hair extensions and bright white veneers.
Ugh, I agree. Miley=Slouchy McGee. She just doesn’t have the presence of Madonna or Britney. She looks like a kid dressed up in mommy’s clothes. Love how she was extra careful to look at the stairs as she came down, as to not fall on her face. Hey, at least the kid can sing though. I’ll give her that.
I’m not so sure she can sing. She basically speaks her songs until she hits a high note and even then she doesn’t sing it, she yells it.
Second generation non talent.
Yeah, first generation too.
Does she really sing? She sings with the aid of a system called ‘AutoTune’ that automatically corrects off-key vocals. AutoTune also gives her voice that heavy smoker’s rasp, even though she is a heavy smoker. AutoTune is commonly used in live performances by Spears, Gaga, Madona, and the like, in live performances. Less so in the studio where they get multiple chances at making a track good.
No, it’s not you, it’s me too. I noticed that on the Oscars, she slumps over.
She looks more and more white trash, and the song is just OK….how is the song charting, anybody know?
it’s absolute crap. all it needs is a “(feat. kanye-or diddy-or any other dude who speaks rhythmicly over recorded music)” and it’s bound to sell millions. i would’ve actually been more impressed if she had really french kissed the dancer. just going through the motions made her look even more fake. i really didn’t think that was possible before i saw this.
That’s because she IS white trash and comes FROM white trash. Just look at her father. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
How about outrage for her lack of singing talent?
So true !You can clearly hear her singing through her nose.
Her performance amounts to trailor trash kiddie porn. No matter how much this little girl tries to play dress up, she still comes across as some adolescent hick whose parents aren’t supervising her.
I had it on mute. I have suspicions it sounded better that way.
Like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Yes! while watching the video, but before reading the comments, I was thinking, “This girl needs to stand up straight”!!
She needs a trainer and dance classes asap.
Her neck was swallowed by her extensions.
What did we really expect from the spawn of mullet and achy breaky fart
I’m so sick of these pre packaged talentless nothings. The record labels should be sued in the same manner cigarette companies were for targeting children or @ least put health warnings that their product is a lie a nematode cause one total embarrassment later in life and will delay real taste in music from maturing. Where or when will the next Nirvana show up and blow all of this garbage away?
i see what your saying
LOL! Definitely worst posture ever – my theory is her handlers (or whoever it is responsible for the Mylie Cyrus pandemic) demonstrated what NOT to do in an effort to show how ugly bad posture can make someone look & she got confused.
She ALWAYS had horrible posture. Just look at her on any red carpet. It drives me nuts!
Um, do you begin all of your sentences with “Um”?
my thoughts exactly. this is the most unsexy thing i have ever seen. she looks like captain caveman’s girlfriend.
PARENTS!!! Please don’t let your kids watch this or her music video for the song. Just as visually and musically affronting as Adam Lambert’s performance a year ago! But when you factor in that so many girls look up to Ms. Cyrus, this is just a sad shame.
Always looking for a reason to slam Adam Lambert. As far as musically, Adam Lambert can sing very well. As far as the performance, it is so last year, let it go. Not to mention the fact that he is indeed an adult not a 17 year old. I will take my daughter to see Adam in concert but would not waste my money on Miley……
Hannah Montana – what happened to you???? When you have an adult audience, you would not be surprised with adult contents on songs and videos. When you have the majority of you audience children — that idolize you — you don’t expect to see this type of performance. It’s ashame, all the young stars that try to change what they have good – it usually turns out bad in the end.
so is the gaga legacy a pantless one?
Beyonce has been doing this for years. Since she was 20 years old, mind you. Only 3 years older than Miley is now. Can’t wait till she turns 18 in Nov and people just get over themselves.
care zero percent.
Care LESS than zero percent.
But yet you took the time to comment!
Frankly, I’m more offended by her popularity. When did we let 12 year old girls start dictating popularity to the masses. (and why in gods name are we pandering to them!!)
I think the same thing every day…I listen to what I would guess be considered a “top 40″ radio station…they play all the currently popular songs like a hundred times a day. The station is obviously geared towards adults…so count me really surprised when I hear Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and the Jonas Brothers…
Music is a business. I think non-music people have this really weird perception of how they get famous. Most of these kids don’t care what it takes and they want their 15 minutes. They all know it’s 15 minutes because of that TWO YEAR CONTRACT that they sign along with 199 other artists that the label signs in that same year. They all know this. The problem, is we don’t?
Everytime someone asks, “What ever happened to the Backstreet Boys? Michelle Branch? Vanessa Carlton? Jesse McCartney? The HANSONS!? (and very soon, Jonas Brothers…)”
That contract ended. That’s what happened. So yea, we’ve probably got another year or so of Miley. Don’t worry, Britney’s kids will be growing up soon..maybe they’ll get pimped out.
@ Anonymous, Hanson is actually still producing music, and it’s actually better now that they aren’t on a “label” but they produce it themselves.
Yes, why is she anything? She’s a no talent trailer park ho-bag.
Fantastic!
To borrow wisdom from Office Space – She is a “no-talent ass clown.”
Amen!
maybe ur the no talent trailer trash ho-bag
like yu & yur Momma
I used to think the tweens were to blame as well, until I recently met a couple of women who were in their late 20s whose favorite singers included Miley Cyrus and that Bieber kid. There are no words.
miley cyrus needs to get her act together this is ridiculous
“There are no words.”
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Oh, there they are…
I am with you Kay!!
There are thousands of talented musicians out there, working their a**es off to try and get a smidgeon of recognition (I would know), and yet this untalented piece of trailer-trash becomes unspeakably famous because she has a lame one-hit-wonder daddy and an endorsement from Disney…. What is our societ coming to?
Apparently racism is fine as long as it’s against “trailer trash.” God forbid anybody mention anything about the infinite examples of ghetto trash that pollute pop “culture.” no, that would be racist.
Last I knew, trailer trash was not a race. For you to assume that no African Americans live in trailer parks is, however, ignorant as if your mention of “ghetto trash”. You white robe is showing.
Most people associate trailer-trash with caucasion and ghetto with black.
Of course, we could discuss the similarities between Redneck and Urban Redneck cultures. The similarities are quite interesting, even including how some people with “aks” questions (speach pattern from British culture that was often seen in slave task masters).
yes, the “n” and “m” keys are broken (copied and pasted here) so spare the predictable reply regarding my ignorance due to the obvious typos.
yeah, you’re right, John, “trailer trash” is used as a slur against black folks all the time, genius. If anybody’s racist here, it’s obviously you.
@drub -Why so defensive and hostile? People do say, “That’s so ghetto” or “This person is ghetto” all the time. I can’t see what that has to do with this however, or is it that you can’t stand to see white people criticized for their behavior?
It’s not 12 year old girls. I teach 12 year old girls and they think Miley Cyrus is WAY beneath them (which is right, of course). Try 8 year old girls.
So true, which is the disgusting part, considering how hard she works to seem like a cheap piece of a*s. As a mother of an 8-year-old daughter, it just makes me sad that other parents are ok with, or even encouraging, their kids to idolize this girl. We are in for one disappointing future generation, that’s for sure.
Don’t blame the kids. Blame the irresponsible adults in charge of the kids. And Blame money grubbing has beens like Billy Ray Cyrus for exploiting their children.
Or 5-year-olds.
amen to that!!!
Two years ago, when visiting the US, my adult daughter wanted to know why I wouldn’t buy my 7 year any of the Hannah Montana crap in Walmart. I had read stories about young girls idolizing the Disney star and didn’t want my kid caught up in it. I’m glad I made that decision because the Miley of today is not the kind of role model I want for my kid. The millions of girls who idolize will follow in her footsteps become slutty bad girls. God help us.
Ladii Stop it Now yu Think She is bt that Probaly yu So Bicth CalmAll that Dwn
I know quite a few girls who idolize Miley, and they are not what you would call “sluts”. You see, media is a big blame for the way teens act today. But it isn’t the reason for girls who like to sleep around with many men. As a parent you should know what “slut” means, which is a dirty house maid. But since you assume it’s someone who preforms and wears revealing clothing, then you really don’t know much at all. Miley has done some pretty pathetic things that she should not be proud of. But shes 17 years old. There are many young girls at the age of 13 doing a lot of worse things. So maybe you should think before you speak, because as a parent it is quite inappropriate of you to be judging someone like that, since you were 17 once as well.
Lame attempt to grab attention by a rapidly becoming has-been.
So true! Can she just go away already or hurry up and become Lindsay Lohan already. Btw her songs are horrendous
people lighten up, she’s an actress/artist and she is doing a great job!!!! if you don’t like her stop watching and do something useful, instead of bad mouthing Miley.YOu guys are jealous cause she is very successful, while all you do is critisize her.Go Miley!!!! and best of luck, don’t listen the this bs
A no-talent hack that can’t sing is pretty desperate if she’s already reaching into the Brittney/Madonna bag of cheezy shock antics at 17! I’d say she has a couple years tops…until the inevitable magical sex video gets leaked.
I think that Orchid is a 12 year old fan! Don’t try to deny it. Most people over the age of 18 don’t use that many exclamation points, capitalize where appropriate, and use periods. Not making fun of you, but if you’re aloud to tell us not to make fun of, we are allowed to make fun of her. Sorry, but she is not talented, and I too wish that she would just go away.
Yep orchid, you got us, we’re all jealous. Dammnit I didn’t think I would be discovered this soon…ah well, I have seen the error of my ways, I shall convert. Come on everyone, lets all go to youtube and watch endless loops of Miley’s (strangely) horse sounding voice attempting to gyrate on stage while attempting to be relevant. Everyone…anyone…come on, lets go guys…orchid says she’s talented
@Mel: before you start bashing someone else’s punctuation, spelling, grammer, etc. ~ you might want to check your OWN!
aloud should be allowed
@ KNeff: That should be “grammar”.
On the same note, KNeff, looking up at avenger’s post, I think they meant “hoarse” not “horse”…
@KNeff
@Mel: before you start bashing someone else’s punctuation, spelling, grammer, etc. ~ you might want to check your OWN!
aloud should be allowed quote—
Learn to read dip sh*t–the first one was an obvious typo. He/she spelled it correctly the 2nd time around. You are obviously just trying to start crap; you can’t read either! Go back to school.
@anon: No, I meant “horse” as in barnyard animal brainiac. I can spell, but wait, were you trying to feel superior with that comment. Aww, too bad. Wait…you’re not Miley’s dad are you?
This was already stupid and boring and obviously for nothing but publicity when Madonna and Britney (and Xtina, but no one gave a rat’s ass about that part of it, apparently) did it.
For someone everyone is calling talent-less and a has been, she certainly is getting a lot of attention on this board. If you don’t like her, why watch the video or even click on the the story?
It’s like a fatal accident on the side of the road: horrible, you know you shouldn’t be looking, but you can’t help but be curious. That doesn’t mean you won’t think later how disgusting and sad the whole thing was.
Is Disney ever going to stop producing mock child pornography? I really do not have one iota of interest in what she’s wearing or who she’s kissing. I did stuff like that when I was 17, and it’s all for shock value. It’s not art, it’s not even really that entertaining and people should definitely stop caring so much.
You do know that kissing is not pornography, right?
Sure it is. Check out a dictionary.
I guess I could stop caring, if she wasn’t mainly marketed at the 6-12 set. I get that the girl wants to grow up, and act out her fantasy of what it’s like to be an adult. But when your target audience/consumer is mainly comprised of children, have some discretion. That’s all I ask. It would be like Wayne Newton deciding to record a hip-hop record, and singing songs about doing drugs and slapping b_tches. Just plain insulting and inappropriate, considering his target age group.
I agree. I could care less on what she does with her life, but when she’s influencing a very young audience to do the same thing, it disgusts me. And am I the only one who saw the part where she practically dry-humped the dancer.
D:
no kissing is not pornography stupid..i should know i’ve kissed like 2 or 3 girls before and not any of those times did it get sexual so…yea your wrong it is not pornography
Girl tries so hard it’s just plain old painful to watch. LAME.
I think so too. I’m embarassed for her that she thinks this will make her more edgy and break the Hanna Montana mold. *yawn* who cares, it’s all been done by others before.
That is true Jimmyjo, I was a fan of her until I started talking music lesson, I learned how NOT to sing through my nose I guess she should start trying aswell.
oh yes she tries WAY too hard. she’s an attention seeking little b*tch with no talent. right there with Heidi Montag
Try watching without sound, lol… she’s not very good. Why would you fake a kiss? To look edgy? Fake edgy pretty much describes this.
Obviously Miley’s Daddy Dearest watched Adam Lambert kiss his guitarist on stage and thought: “My girl does it better! She’s gonna be a STAR!”
YEah lol the only difference though is Adam lambert is 28 years old and when he kisses some guy it actuallyy is real looks WAYYY hot and not some weird head banging on a girl…lol…she is such a fail but you basically got it. HOW CAN HER DAD BE PROUD OF HER!!!???
HA! this reminds me of National Lampoon’s Vacation – Cousin Eddie’s daughter: ‘I French kiss….Daddy says I’m the best’
I was so getting ready to write something about Adam! This reminds me a lot of FYE (which I LOVE) and the whole song/perforance just keeps me going back to that (just way not as good!) but the fake kiss was hilarious!! She looked like she was beating her in the head! LOL I don’t have a prob with it coz I think parents need to teach their kids it’s ok to watch a show, collect the stuff, but remind them that this is a PERSON and that people aren’t perfect and that people grow up and let them know miley’s not a little girl anymore – she’s an adult. There has to be boundries. Don’t blame stars for your kids going out and dressing like trash! Ok- I’ll get off my soap box now! LOL That’s just my opinion. I’m sure there’s lots more.
I’m not sure I would even describe this as a kiss. It was more like a bird taking it’s undigested food, vomiting it up, and transporting it into it’s babies mouth.
Ding ding ding!!! Ladies and gentlemen, we have a WINNER!
you have no idea how much i hate her.
im 14, and the girls in my year idolize her. i dont understand why people like her so much.
i dont like her music (im into punk rock, though…) her accent is agonizing and i think she’s trying too hard to be some badass celeb.
those pictures she posted on the internet… why the hell did disney let her stay on as hannah montanna? god…
I know! I can’t stand it! I think a big sigh of relief came from a lot of people when that show FINALLY ended.
It still has one more season to air. I’m so glad my kids can’t stand her anymore.
I can’t think who her fan base is. My nieces at 13 & 15 are already done with Miley and the laugh about her now.
Good for you Amelia!
When I was your age I liked The Doors, David Bowie, The Who, etc. I didn’t understand how my friends could love Backstreet Boys so much.
Shouldn’t you be in school?
well, we should all be concentrating on work. WELCOME TO THE INTERNETS!
It’s summer vacation Randall. You obviously don’t have kids, lol. I homeschool now, but when I didn’t, and my kids still attended public school, I was reminded every morning by the bickering over the remote that it was summer vacation.
watch you language, little missy!
I’m 13 and I know the feeling, she sings through her nose and it does get boring after years of hearing it on disney.
Hang in there, Amelia! Back in my day I was the lone hater of New Kids on the Block in my group of friends. I much preferred the Smiths and the Cure. My friends caught up – about 4 years later.
I hear ya, Amelia. I’m 15-years-old and am getting so sick of this garbage. I listen to The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, and what not. Ever since Miley Cyrus showed her horse-like face to the world, I’ve stopped listening to the radio. Hopefully, we’ve only got one year left of having to listen to her and then she’ll be just as washed up as her idiotic father…
I’m 13– I like a weird combination of punk, oldies, indie, and showtunes. It just disgusts me that people in those genres (and others) train for years to perfect their craft, and then Miley and Britney go up and autotune their way through life and get so much more recognition than those who actually WORK for it.
thank u for this!! im 15 too and tho i have my less popular bands that i love, im constantly surrounded by disney bots (for all of my preteen-teen years) so now that she’s doing sleazy stuff on stage ON A SHOW that rivals american idol (Im in <3 with adam lambert) it makes me sad about pop culture.
Obviously the ‘no-talent’ gene is prevalent in the family.
She not only LOOKS like her father, she’s irritating just like him.
i’m only shocked by the fact that it sounds like she’s singing live!!
… oh and for someone who has made it clear she doesn’t like Adam Lambert, she sure does appear to be making an “attempt” at copying him.
… whatever it takes to get media attention…
This “kiss” was planned and rehearsed thouigh and clearly the adults holding her reins told her what to do and when.
Trust me she does not like him. She even basciclly said it during an interview after the American idol pre-finale. And then she was all, ‘I HATE glitter. The worst thing to wear is glitter!’ Thats a mockery of Adam considering Adam Lambert LOVES sparkeling and glitter. Though then again she trys to gain the shock value Adam got but all she is gaining is failing.
She hates the dude but then she goes and acts like him. Clearly jealous. Someone apparently has failed to explain to this little has-been about how Hollywood works and the fact that trends come and go, and all she is is a trend.
No kidding. I was just thinking this sounded like a reject number from Adam’s CD. Not to mention the feathery outfits.
She doesn’t like Adam Lambert? That may be her only redeeming quality.
Why don’t you go and redeem yourself………
Today, a fake girl-on-girl kiss. Tomorrow, she’s getting out of a car with no panties on and flashin’ her bizness to the world! LOL The writing’s on the wall… Teenage “stars” + too much money + the need to keep in the spotlight = a future of drug abuse and head shaving! LOL
With a name like tushyfan, who can take you seriosly?
Oh, the irony. But, I’ll let this one slide, as it was obviously intentional. Clever, clever.
When does the sex tape come out?
it’s scheduled to be released in 6 months. yup, it’s already made.
the sex tape already came out it was the its a party in the USA live performance!
We have a word for girls like this.
Do tell.
Oooohhhh!!!! Oooooohhhhh!!! Mr. Kottah!!!! Mr. Kottah!!!!!
mary q: Your posts are priceless! I’ve spit on my keyboard several times already! (Sorry about the “Spit” word but WTH!). Actually, lot of good ones from everyone today! Bless thosee young teens! I’m so glad they know talent when they see it – and it ain’t Miley!!!
