This poll fails without a "Like yeah" option.

THis song is retarded, but do I enjoy pantomiming the chorus in the car.

Lady Ga Ga > Miley Cyrus > Black Eyed Peas (Bleeeeech)
post #9 of 168
While I certainly agree that the Black Eyed Peas are AWFUL, I find it funny that whenever they release a palatable song ("Meet Me Halfway", "Shut Up") it performs significantly worse on the charts than their typical crap.

This song makes me smiley.

I'd like to see them remake Con Air with Miley in the Malkovich role.
post #12 of 168
Thanks to a stunt the Black Eyed Peas pulled on Oprah, two middle-aged ladies in my office now have "I Gotta Feeling" as their ringtone. This is especially bad.

Back on Topic: Miley Cyrus has mesmerizing teeth!

Stop it. Do you want Miley cancelling her CHUD account too?

I heart this thread.

So glad I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Other than she's the spawn of Billy Ray, I mean.
post #16 of 168
I'm dumbfounded by this poll's lack of a "Makes Me Want to Punch Kittens" option.
post #17 of 168
Jake, you really think the DA is really going to buy "I don't even know who she is" as an alibi?
post #18 of 168
My 7-year-old is convinced that Miley is saying "Noddin' my head like yeah, movin' buckets like yeah." I have no idea why or how, but she refuses to budge from it.

That's not very nice. It's a banquet, not a party. I sent you an invite but you didn't RSVP. I guess you cun't be bothered.


Anyway, I know some of her songs but I know very little about her. Is part of her shtick really that she came to LA from a small town with dreams of stardom? The same girl who's the daughter of a country music star and master thespian and was, in fact, already rich?

"I thought she was just another Russian girl I had purchased from the internet! I can't even understand what the fuck she says!"

That's kind of hilarious and possibly a throwback to her days of hard labor in the small town she came from.

SHHH DON'T TELL ANYONE

I think Cyrus was just banking on the huge amount of boiling hate for him that exists out there, although I distinctly remember an old co-worker who wanted to bang that jugheaded motherfucker's brains out. Creepy.
post #23 of 168
I know most artists don't write their own songs, but Miley shitting on Jay-Z in an interview while name dropping him in her most popular song is bullshit. And then she goes on to say that she's not a pop singer, and this song is not the type of music she sings. What an ungrateful little brat.

She also ran down Radiohead in a radio interview a little while back because they weren't interested in meeting her when they were both at the same music award show.

And screw this song, where's the poll for "Hoedown Throwdown"? That's some real entertainment.

I remember that. Good publicity for Radiohead. It only helps their cred to turn Destiny Hope Cyrus away.

Being "more than just a Pop singer" is part of every Pop singer's shtick. This is because the boring bullshit critical discourse insists that being a Pop singer is somehow an undignified position to be in, and so everyone has to have their Beatles-in-1966 moment, and we're all worse off for it.

Uh yeah I won't say I haven't had daydreams about being a RAWK STAR and doing similiar things to this when I was 12, but really can refusing to meet someone just because you don't like their music/public persona* be spun as anything except just, y'know, casually rude? Fuck this conception of "cred" imo.

* not that I'd wager that this is what happened, most likely they were just feeling tired/surly, as per usual, and I don't actually hold it against them - but holding it up as some sort of fuck-the-system gesture is nonsense.

Maybe Radiohead will want to meet her now that she has such a good song on her hands/larynx.

Obama Beer Party, Pt.2
post #34 of 168
So, if I'm hearing things correctly, she "hops off the plane" and immediately boards a taxi, which plays Jay-Z and Britney Spears while taking her to a party, as she's "rockin' her hips like yeah!" Once she arrives at this party no one recognizes her and they all look down on her because she rode a taxi and they all came in limos, and she's wearing boots?

God, those stuck up ungrateful privileged bitches don't know what it's like to be just a regular girl in America! This definitely isn't a Nashville party.

At least it's not Trace Cyrus, good christ almighty.

I heard a snippet of this song recently, and it sounds even more robotic and synthetic than her usual stuff. Hasn't the Power Unit in her processor run out of juice yet?
post #37 of 168
Sadly, due to Achy Breakey residuals. That shit is like a self-perpetuation machine.

Yeah, I have the same problem with Springsteen in "The River." He's all "Then I got Mary pregnant," and I'm all wtf?

I've always been more concerned with Bruce's message. I mean, he knocks this chick up and what does he get in return? A sweet job working construction and some new threads, i.e. a weddin' coat. Is he trying to convince our teenagers to have children out of wedlock?!? C'mon, Springsteen, I thought you were better than that.

What I can't figure out is how he managed to pull himself out of this situation and become the famous rock star he is today. And whatever happened to Mary and that baby while he's playing house with Patti???

It's not that she wants to be "more" than a pop singer. She doesn't acknowledge she a pop singer. "I've never heard a Jay-Z song. I don't listen to pop music," she declared, an admission that's likely to confuse her tweeny-bopper fan base. "It's not even my style of music, that song. I'm really blessed for it to have done as well as it has. Totally, totally blessed. God has definitely put me in an amazing position with amazing people."

Different strokes. I respect people who stick to their beliefs. If I think your music is crap or that you are an awful person, why would I want to meet you? Radiohead also snubbed Kanye - whose music I enjoy - but admittedly has the ego the size of the sun. Sometimes it great to see someone that arrogant get humbled. No, you can't do whatever you want whenever you want. Though Radiohead's spokeswhore said, “We don’t really do that.” so it seems they weren't playing favorites.

Technically, she just says she doesn't listen to pop music; she doesn't deny making it. Plus, aren't a number of her songs sort of "in character," anyway? I honestly have no idea how the Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana persona split works in terms of her output or fan interpretation, but I'm not sure it matters whether she listens to Jay-Z or her narrator (scripted by her writers) does. This seems like a strange place in pop culture to have concerns about authenticity.

I sincerely doubt that Radiohead were making a judgment on quality or perceived character flaws in either case. If there's one massively popular band that doesn't have to worry about their cred suffering in the presence of pop stars, it's Radiohead. My money's on "tired/surly," not "sticking to their beliefs."

I have no idea what Miley's music sounds like. I've heard maybe snippets here and there. She just seems pretty unappreciative of the popularity of this song and disses it every chance she gets.

"Honestly, I picked that song because I needed something to go with my clothing line [with Max Azria]. I didn't write it [and] I didn't expect it to be popular." Then she goes states again, "It is not even my style of music."

Or as I already posted, "they don't really do that."

"More than" or "not a", it's not really central to my argument. Point is, teenybopper audiences are used to having "this is just pop music!" thrown at them and desperate to see their idols validated as Serious Artists, which is why Pop idols invariably tend to come out with these sorts of statements.

(It's funny she chose critically acclaimed Jay-Z, tho, instead of Britney, who is a much clearer signifier of Pop Music. Wonder if this is actually some sort of dog whistle thing for "I don't listen to Hip-Hop", which would surely play well toa part of Cyru's base, but saying it outright would alienate more fans/open quite the can of worms?)

Making crap music does not make someone a bad person! I mean I hate Radiohead's music but I'm sure they're nice blokes.

Public persona is slightly trickier - I wouldn't shake Glenn Beck's hand, true enough. But with music stars you have to assume that a big part of whatever behaviour/headlines/qoutables have sprung up around the person are at least partly work of gossip rags, pr departments, etc. and not necessairly a good barometer of what the person's like.

Fundamentally, though, when someone wants to meet you this means that they enjoy your work - it's a compliment; it might be given insincerely, or as a pretext for celebs to show off their pull, but you can hardly know whether that's the case until you've actually met them. Fair play to The Head for not wanting to do celebrity parties/feeling a need to stick to their own/wanting to get some free time to finish off that Bolano book, but people who would do this sort of thing based on musical taste seem pretty 0_o to me.
