Big Girl Can't Be Tamed or Little Girl Lost?

HEY PHOEN-ITES!

Something I'd like to share with you: I was reading a recent article on Miley Cyrus' new video for her song, 'Who Owns My Heart' and how it's getting the 'Parents Television Council' concerned.

"her racy new music video, "Who Owns My Heart?," has been slammed by the Parents Television Council. Funnily enough, when you check the list of folks sitting on the advisory board for this conservative watchdog group, the biggest-name celebrity listed there is—you guessed it—none other than Billy Ray Cyrus!"

Even the girl's own father is trying to tell her to take it down a few notches? So - is it true? Miley Cyrus really can't be tamed?! Check her latest vid:



It's interesting how time and time again we have these sweet & wholesome teen idols become so sexually provocative overnight. It happened with Britney, Christina Aguilera, and even Lindsay Lohan. And it seems as though each year, they're getting younger and younger. For 17 year old Miley in particular, how does affect her fanbase when it seems like only yesterday she was prancing around innocently as 'Hannah Montanah'...

"It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one. It sends messages to her fan base that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point. Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly."

As an artist, its so important for me to know who my fans are and to give them what they want. Afterall, its through their support that I'm able to do what I do.

Same goes for Miley. So I question if its smart for her to change her image so drastically and so suddenly. I get that she's a growing woman - but if sex becomes your only 'schtick', then how can you sustain a career with so little substance?

For me, sexy comes in feeling empowered, and Learning to Fight. (Just listen to my album, "Learning To Fight", available on iTunes, to hear more about how important self-empowerment is). And its important for everyone to know what their definition of sexy is.


What are you thoughts? Is Miley gaining a wider audience, or is she alienating her largest fan base?

Some food for thought.
Stay Sexy y'all, and Keep Learning To Fight.
