Twerking? Don't you mean making an ass out of herself???

Okay....I'll admit right up front that I didn't watch the VMA awards this year.  Or last year.  Hell, I haven't watched the VMA's in probably 15 years.  Has something to do with the fact that I can't STAND most of the crap that gets called "music" these days.  (Shit.....Starting to sound like my dad.)

That being said, when I heard about the deal with Miley Cyrus, I made it a point to head over to YouTube and check out her "performance". 

I find it interesting that so many people are so outraged by this.  I'm not saying people shouldn't have a thought or an opinion.  I'm just saying I found myself laughing AT her during the whole thing.

Let me explain......

In my opinion, she's doing everything she can to shed her whole "Hannah Montana/good little girl" image, and she's willing to do or say whatever it takes to do so.  Now, I totally get wanting to be seen as a grown-up, and it's something quite a few child stars have had issues with over the years.  Gary Coleman or Lindsey Lohan, anyone?

But, for every Lohan, there's an Anne Hathaway, who shows you CAN transition from the kid-friendly stuff to roles with adult substance WITHOUT whoring yourself out in the process.  And, YES, I know Anne showed her boobs in two movies during her transition, but she didn't do the whole "look at how fucking bad-ass adult I am" thing in public.  A little nudity in the right type of movie is okay.  Doing the old bump and grind on Robin Thicke on stage at the VMA's definitely isn't.  And the whole thing with the foam finger?  Please.  Strippers around the world were rating her on how shitty that performance was. 

So, where does she go from here?  I mean, does she pull a 180 on her career and clean it up a little bit, or does she take that "next" step and wind up like Amanda Bynes? 

Hard to say, but if she were asking my opinion (which, of course, she isn't), here's what I'd suggest:

1.  Put on some clothes.  Madonna did the whole "running around on stage in your bra" thing a hell of a lot better than you did.  Put on some grown woman clothes and stop dressing like a two dollar whore.

2.  Stop trying to shock us.  You looked pathetic trying to do it, and it reeks of desperation.

3.  You want to prove you're a "grown-up" artist?  Prove to us you can sing songs with grown up issues in them.  Prove you've got the chops.  Then?  Prove you can fucking act, 'cause you sure as hell haven't done THAT yet either.

4.  Shut the hell up.  Period.  Stop talking to the media and waving your arms like an attention-starved little fucking brat.

That's it.  That's my advice.

Oh, and one more thing.....

There's a happy medium between the 'ho you acted like on Sunday night and being Taylor Swift, who is WAY too immature for my liking.  (After all, Taylor and Adele are the same age.  Who's the better artist?  Just saying.)  Figure out what it is, make a couple of mistakes (without showing your ass), and BE THAT.

By the way....anybody remember when MTV actually showed VIDEOS????
