Miley Cyrus Reinvents Herself Again

Well, it's not like you have to be a GOPer to bash hip hop. A significant portion of hip hop is utter trash and has a horrible culture.

Well, Miley is definitely known for grabbing the low hanging fruit.

Not to mention that Christians really love people who do bad things as long as they say sorry. Redemption stories are super popular.

You don't support redemption and 2nd chances? Cool.

Do you have a quote for that, or are you reaching for something?

*yawn* you're obviously talking down about the concept so your attempt at sophistry falls flat.
 
This is like a child development manual in action. Fine upstanding adolescent. Goes to college, parties, gets drunk, says and does rowdy stuff mom and dad wouldn't want to see, graduates, calms the **** down.

Maybe she could just pick a genre and stick with it long enough to produce something of quality or even interest?

See, Country already has the story down pat. Thanks for making our point. :)

What, that Christians celebrate redemption? Sure, happy to do it. Are you saying atheists do not?

I believe atheists are less likely to be played by a con artist. Yes.
 
Since when is changing, and possibly maturing a bad thing?

I won't judge anything Miley might do in the future until I hear what she does. There's still potential for her.

As for Madonna: She's a dried up, irrelevant, old hag who should retire and disappear from public view.

Exactly, she's only 24. As far as I'm concerned she's barely into adulthood. People mature tremendously between the ages of 18-25.

So, you're firmly in the "she was just going through a phase" corner. :lol:

She's one of very few child stars who have managed to cross into some level of adult fame. And not kill herself while doing it.

Her roots are in country, so a return to it isn't really that far fetched of an idea.

Youtube search some of her "unplugged" stuff and you'll see that she actually has talent.

She's done plenty of truly silly, childish, and outlandish crap. No doubt.

However, I won't pass judgment on what she might possibly do until she does it.

That's all well and good. But, when her first step in introducing her new act is to dog whistle about hip hop, I'm not giving her any benefit of doubt. It's too obvious.
 
calamity said:
lol...you must not know how these people think. Tooting the bash-rap dog whistle will bring the faithful to her corner. Now, as long as she continues saying pretty much anything everything they want to hear, and they will erect statues in her honor. Did you learn nothing from the Trump phenomena?

No what I'm saying is that Miley isn't going to change anytime soon.

I heard an interview with her today on the radio and her voice is awful. Was it always that bad or does she just have a throat problem? But anyways she talked about weed and eat pickles and spicy veggie burgers while high. I don't think she will be going after the Christian crowd anytime soon.

It's easier to change your word robe and hairstyle than it is personality. But, I suspect the reboot is in process.
 
calamity said:
I imagine they will sell that as "just a phase." She'll claim to be reborn, and the faithful will say she has redeemed herself once she begins preaching that Jesus saves and that homosexuality is bad. She'll sell millions of country records and be the new face of the Grand Ole Opry.

Step one has been executed: bash Hip Hop. That will win over a lot of people in Nashville. Now, the marketing of the new Miley begins.

I am surprised how much hip-hop/rap is being infused in today's new country. I think it sucks, myself.

Somebody needs to tell these young white boy's trying to be country artists that they suck at "rapping." In fact, since hip-hop/rap sucks in general, even if they got it right, it would still suck.

Just sayin'.....
 
Here's a good article on the strange transformation of the new Miley.

Miley Cyrus?s Creepy Return to Wholesomeness - The New Yorker

Cyrus’s arc—she was a fairly innocent kid who enjoyed a wild period in her early twenties, and, now that she’s about to become someone’s wife, she’s settling down, finding a new way to be (or act) virtuous—is culturally ingrained. Everyone seems to agree that this is an acceptable path forward. And that’s what’s so troubling about it. It’s not so much that Cyrus has changed (or that she has, at least, changed tack strategically; both are so ordinary as to be banal), it’s that this is what everybody thinks a grownup woman looks like: pretty, tamed, straight, still, white. (The virginal outfits are nearly funny in their broad strokes—did no one in her circle think to say, “A little on the nose”?)

But, that is exactly what the TaliBornAgain crowd she is appealing to right now wants and expects of women--to fit in that box of days gone by.

For young women, this is a narrow path forward: become less selfish and wayward only by embracing antiquated notions of femininity and propriety. Is there not some functional middle ground to occupy? Cyrus’s about-face is so sharp, it obliterates any chance for a more subtle and multitudinous understanding of personal progress. It’s hard not to pine for that wagging tongue.
