She has advisers, I wonder why none of them suggested something a little less dramatic. Not a very good role model for young girls and young ladies to look up to.
I hope she keeps a level head about her and doesn't turn into a Lindsey Lohan or Brittany Spears.
As for her mechandise, I wouldn't buy it for my granddaughters. Her line of clothes along with those two Olsen twins borders on sleazy. What ever happened to little sundresses and matching capri sets?

Well, she is also very head strong. I think her behavior in real life should be the gauge for what young girls should be looking at. It is up to parents to explain what is and what isn't real. Geeesh, listen to me - the childless expert. lol

As a child, she attracted very young little girls. But she is growing all up. She has to decide how to present herself in a way that will sell to the young adults in which she is. It is sad to me because I do know young 6-9 yr old girls that just think she walks on water. I did not like to see her in this video because I have the young girl Hannah Montanna image ingrained in my mind. She has to grow up like everyone else. And "sexy" is what sells.

I never thought Billy Ray was too smart anyway. Never did like him, thought he was too big for his britches. I do like Miley tho.

It just made me feel sad for her and for all young girls who think that their bodies are the only true asset that they have.

Honey, I agree. Can't you see the little girls now wanting to dress like Miley in her video? And the young teens doing whatever trying to have the shape & body like hers? Sad!

I have a problem with parents encouraging this type of young 'lady' for their children to emmulate.

If you were making the kind of money she is, you might do anything they wanted you to also.

I must say in all fairness, I have not nor will I watch the video. I only went by what was said on here. So, I guess my HO does not count.

Wvdek your opinion counts as much as anyone elses. None of us can do a thing about Miley Cyrus. We are only voicing our thoughts & opinions.
