I keep thinking about Janis Ian, and her song "Girls In Our Town", and how it still is so relevant to young women today. Maybe someone should play it to Miley and Billy Ray. Mind you, if every silly, ill advised thing I did at 17 was preserved forever on the net and commented on for the rest of my life ugh. And I don't think many pole dancers or street based s e x workers look like that, or earn the kind of money Miley makes. Maybe she could make a donation to an organisation that helps out girls in the s e x industry, kind of like royalties?

I've always loved "Hanna Montana". but watching this was like watching Madonna, Janet Jackson, all those rolled into one.

I think the video has great costumes, especially Miley's. You know what they say, "Sex sells". If she didn't go to some extreme, I'm afraid that her career would be over. That is a very competitive business and to stay in it, I think you have to "play the game".

the wings are fabulous! Miley doesn't pull this off very well. I admit to only watching the first minute or so, without audio.

I started my daughter out at very young age telling her that these people like Miley are NOT people to be admired. It's okay if she wanted to watch them but not to act like them. After a few months she decided at the age of 9 that she'd outgrown Miley. I was so glad.
This morning was the first time I'd seen her latest video and it was beyond disgusting. Someone made a huge mistake. No 17 yr old should be made up, dressed up and acting like a street walker. She's another little girl that's growing up way too fast and will probably be another Brittany or Lindsay in the next few years. Maybe that's what happens when parents cease to be parents and start being "managers". Sad, sad, sad. I feel sorry for her because she too young to realize what she's doing to herself and her future. Oh well, I guess she can always get a job on "The World's Dumbest" with the rest of the burnt out child actor has-beens.

I believe little Hannah Montana has grown up! I hope she uses her talents wisely. I would hate to see ANY teenager make the life decisions Britney and Lindsay have. Perhaps Miley will learn something beneficial from her predecessors. I can hope anyway.

It certainly isn't something I'd want my young daughter to see. I can understand that "sex sells". I guess the problem that I have with it is her age. At what age to we quit thinking of it as child pornography? To me it's a shame that by the tender age of 17 everything else has been done to promote oneself so there's nothing left to use but the sex angle. At 17 it's just inappropriate. And that's my HO--worth just about as much as the paper it's written on but it's mine and I'm entitled to it. LOL
p.s. the costume wings were amazing but beauty doesn't cover up wrong.

I'm not overly impressed with her musical talent. If I had a computer overlay, my very flat vocal talent could sound that good also. The song sounds like every other "hip-hop" whateverthatis.

If she has any talent, she'll either grow out of this stage or she'll wind up dead from a drug OD.
