I'm a little scared



Miley Cyrus recently released her new music video titled "Can't Be Tamed" (if you have not had the honor of watching the video, I have gladly posted it just for laughs) and may I just say that she is not the Hannah Montana I once ignored. She is a whole different person and she seems to be trying to get a hold of her own, finding out who she is, testing the waters with what she can artistically and musically do. I do not completely agree with that last sentence I wrote, but I am giving her the benefit of the doubt. She is only human, people make mistakes, blah blah blah. On another note, I do not quite understand her. She goes from this perfect, innocent image of a girl to a wild woman dancing around in feathers. Did I miss something? If I’m just a little confused by this, imagine what a 10 year old girl who looks up to this Hannah Montana character must feel. Her once singing idol in jeans and a wig, is now something rare and puzzling as this music video. Frustrations and confusion aside, I'm not sure if what she has is talent or just really good publicists.

Nice point. Do you think this type of switch (from clean child female star to sex pot image -- Tiffany, Brittany, etc.) has anything to do with the position of women in society? Do you think young male stars make the same kind of shift? Why might these be different?
