Miley Cyrus new style

Go To

While visually she comes close to Lady Gaga, her sound is rather unique. I like her style, and both her singles are rather inspiring.

Shame she resorts to infamous theatrics when her singing voice suffices.

[up] I wouldn't put her anywhere close to the same league as Gaga...she's trending in Britney/Christina/Rhianna territory.

Yes, though it's mostly the non-flamboyant clothe choices and the use of white.

I disagree. Her songs aren't worthy of the word "unique". Personally, I find them bland. Just my opinion.

When I first heard "Wrecking Ball" I first went from "Is this Lana Del Rey?" to "Is this Rihanna?"

And the music video is pure "PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Sadly, it seems to be working.

Eh, I'd argue it may be the attention she wants, but not the kind she needs.

Sorry, I'm not seeing either. Maybe the latter in terms of intonation, but not really.

(noncommittal)

I will say that Wrecking Ball deserves a good cover. Miley's voice is decent enough for tween pop, but it needs somebody angrier.

Eh, that song in general, with or without her, is just meh.

Both of her singles are actually quite good.

I have no strong feelings about her theatrics lately, except that it's a successful marketing ploy that made money, at least in the short term. That one VMA performance probably broke even quite quickly.

It now depends on how her incoming album sells, and how large of a fanbase she keeps. Yes, she does have one.

Yes, her fanbase is mostly the same fanbase she had when she was with Disney (if not literally the same people, then people with the same mindset when it comes to what pop culture they consume).

And I still stand by my assertion that her music as Hannah Montana was much better than a good deal of the stuff she puts out now. Say what you will about it, but a lot of those songs still get stuck in my head today.

Reminds me less of Gaga and more of Ke$ha

I think Miley looked at each of her industry rivals, stuffed them into a blender and pressed puree.

Has become like a bizarre combo clone of P!nk and Ke$ha.

I thought Wrecking Ball was fine (then again, I'm not a good judge of music) but the video... I think it was supposed to be sexy, but it was not.

I could say the same thing about her VMA performance this year. *shudder*.

According to her, it was supposed to be metaphorical. If that's not a cop-out, something went very, very wrong.

Her album is streaming early on iTunes.

First listen opinion: The "bangers" aren't the best, although they got some great moments, but when she gets emotional, she shines.

The album's not trash, and I'll say it got a good shot for a #1.

I have heard most of "We Can't Stop". It sounds like a generic witch house track with added whining.

[up][up] I agree. Miley's got pipes, y'all. You may dislike her bony, wanna-be Ke$ha backside and everything it stands for, but talent is talent.

All that said, am I the only one that thinks that her new image (not to mention the ultra thick bright red lipstick she's been wearing) makes her look...a bit like Justin Beiber in drag?

I normally consider her to be decently pretty, but this look make me feel like to tried to go the P!nk route and missed.

Burn.

Though really, her physique isn't so different from Rihanna. But when you factor in the Gene Simmons tongue (which Simmons came within a yard of calling a ripoff), the white people dancing, and so on...

Miley Cyrus has a similar body to Rihanna?

-checks-

Oh god. Small boobs, small ass, average height. Maybe that's why they wear high-rise shorts all the time. Makes them look like their taller and have a booty. Taylor Swift does that to, but considering Swift is almost 6' tall she looks like long cat when she does it.

Different subject:

Miley looked like she was going for Gaga's "sexy ugly" style at the VMAs (but failed) but from her music videos and performances after the fact I think she purposefully tried to fail at looking sexy to get people talking about her. It seems to be working and her image in the subsequent videos and performances after that are on point and she looks quite good.

I watched the Wrecking Ball and VMA performance, and what I saw has been burned into my eyes with such viscosity and heat that I will never be able to unsee Hannah Montana gyrating on someone's crotch while using a foam pointer finger in ways never intended, and simulating fellatio on a jackhammer while straddling a wrecking ball.

Worst of all, my sister has now added "wrecking ball" to her vernacular, and seems to view both songs as philosophical pieces.

Please tell me her latest music videos are at least a little sane.
