It's been said artists need either inspiration or desperation, I suggest a little talent helps too but what the hell do I know? Miley Cyrus' performance at the VMA Awards reeked of desperation. It was so obvious, so pedestrian, so devoid of talent, I'm not sure why she's getting all the attention. Look, I'm no prude and I know sex and rock and roll (well pop) go together like biscuits and gravy (or CW and stupid pet names), but you have to do it well. Art is meant to push boundaries, and yes sometimes be shocking. But the cheapest way to do that is through lewdness. And the difference between being sexy and hot or cheap and slutty is a fine line, but it's there. Miley Cyrus just ain't sexy (and I think she knows it). She's awkward, gangly, she can't sing and her ass is ugly. She rates a near zero on the bone-o-meter, even though she does score a few points for her "Wolf-Style" pose (as we NCSU folks like to call it). And sticking her tongue out and running around half naked didn't help, jeez, it's been done to death! She acted like a freshman chick at a fraternity rush party drunk on jello shots. She tried to compensate for her lack of talent by doing what any good stripper would do, but not nearly as well.
So I think it's safe to say Miss Cyrus aspires to be the next Lady Gaga (without the nice bum) who was the next Britney Spears (without the nice rack) who was the next Madonna who was the next Cher etc. etc. ad infinitum. But for my money I'd rather watch a 200 lbs. pie-faced Linda Ronstadt, at least she can sing.

Nice to you you're back. Then again, it's nice to see someone doing some postings here.
Thanks anon. This blogs sucks without me.
Hello, what about Robin Thicke, the creepy predator?? Miley is a pathetic girl whose parents obviously dropped the ball, who the Disney machine obviously f-ed up like they do all their good little girls. Her performance was disgusting and pathetic, but skank Robin Thicke took it and then defended it!! And he's a grown man
Linda Ronstadt can't sing anymore.
Thank God you're back Hammer. I can finally take that sabbatical from posting again.
For Hammer:
VMA = Video Music Awards, so "VMA Awards" is redundant (like saying MRC card) - other than that, great post!
It is worth noting that she is promoting a new album, and this is free publicity. Maybe it was calculated??
Finally, why wasn't there a huge outcry when Beyonce was doing all that pelvic thrusting & bumping & grinding during the Super Bowl halftime show? Is it some sort of double standard? . . . an age thing? Just curious.
Ronstadt! Linda baby we luv you.
