It is impossible to watch the news or basically any TV without coming across a Miley Cyrus. I listen to teachers and peers critiquing her on a daily basis. But personally, I believe that what she is doing is fine. When people call her talentless that bugs me, this is because we are still talking about what she did months ago, we talk about her non-stop. I don't think she is either an underbelly devil or a hidden angel, she is her own definition, she is Miley. It is impossible to call her either of the two because she is doing exactly what she wants, and using her own. That is something that little girls can look up to, and admire with Miley.
People say that she is a bad influence on the youth. After all, she does publically endorse smoking, drinking, and having sex. In "23" Miley sings over and over, "I'm in the club high off purp with some shades on/ Tatted up, mini skirt with my J's on." This is by no means the correct message to be sending to these children with such great potential. This is why I am so conflicted over her. She sends 2 very opposing messages. 1) It is okay to smoke or do drugs. 2) It is okay to be yourself, and do as you please. Overall, I have this sort of shameful respect for her. What she is doing is very hard, she takes criticism from almost everybody around her and ignores it. This shows how morally strong she must be. Granted, she would be so much easier to respect if she just kept her tongue in her mouth and put some clothes on.
