  1. I know a 59 year old woman's opinion does not matter to MTV. But I am so tired of Miley Cyrus, Kanye and the like.

  2. trashy, trashy, trashy!! and a 59 year old's opinion is probable more important than a 74 year old's.

  3. This 73 year old woman agrees. I feel sorry for Billy Ray Cyrus.

    1. Billy Ray is what created this and I'm not referring to being a sperm donor. She is the intentional result of her upbringing as she was taught to hold on to media attention at any cost because once they forget about you, you're done.

  6. Garbage. I recall lustening to JFK's pick for FCC commisioner giving his first speech to network executives titled " Television is a vast Wasteland." Imploring them to support works that mattered instead of a bread and circus. We see how its worked out. I just cringe that this garbage is viewed by children I don't care how hip or cool its presented as. And no it isn't art modern or otherwise.49 yr old here.

  7. Too much puritanical nonsense. This is probably the least destructive thing happening on the planet right now. Our ancient ancestors would laugh at these objections. 59 yr old here.

    1. You make a very good point. She annoys me, though not for the nudity as I could care less if she ran down the street naked but, in the grand scheme of the world, she is irrelevant.

  8. Crowboy - I think the head-shaking and weary sighs aren't being caused by a puritanical nature, but sadness and dismay at the fact that this kind of inconsequential trash is what's being held up as something to aspire to. Bread and circuses indeed.

    1. I don't know, I've heard a lot of "put some clothes on her" type comments. That's right up the puritannical alley. Though you hit the nail on the head as to why I find her annoying. 39 year old here.

    2. I just think she is boring. Smoking pot is exciting? Cheech and Chong did it better.

    3. Ann's got it right, she's boring and juvenile.

  9. BUT...she has a voice to die for, and a very good sense of phrasing and all the other bits and pieces that make for a real singer. She's good.

    Even if you don't like her own music, listen to her do some Dylan, like "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go". She did a number of songs from the 60's and 70's, and IMO they're a real listening pleasure.

  10. I may have missed the temporal bus here, but I like some songs Miley has done, and the swinging naked on a wrecking ball video was a bit of a laugh, and for those that judge that video harshly, I have done worse, naked, when I was about her age, but didn't look anywhere near as good.
    But her covering Dolly's song Jolene annoyed me because you have to have a bigger voice than she has to do a song like that, Pentatonix did it well, but then they had Dolly helping them.
    Sadly, this writer agrees that we who are in our fourth trimester are of an age irrelevant to the wants and needs of the music/slash entertainment industry, double entendre intended.
    63 anos male here, if you're nosy.
