Miley Cyrus: Nothing I do is for shock valueAt the very least, Miley Cyrus is honest. During a radio interview with “The Bert Show,” Miley Cyrus said she already knows the kind of comments that can be elicited from a mere mention of her name. “If you say ‘Miley Cyrus,’ there’s going to be some type of bad press or controversy that comes with it,” the actress/singer said. “It’s just part of where I am in my life right now....It’s like when Hilary Duff started growing up off the Disney channel, everyone thought she was anorexic...just because when she goes out she doesn't look like a 12-year-old anymore. It's the same thing." Well, Cyrus certainly no longer looks 12, as she proved in her latest music video for her single “Can’t Be Tamed.” But she maintains that nothing she does is for shock value.
“It’s written for someone my age – if you go to a high school, no one is singing about happiness and rainbows and butterflies all the time,” she said. When it comes to her selection of movie roles, she's “doing real high school parts which include real high school things. When people look…at what high school nowadays is, it’s not exactly what you always see on the Disney channel…the movies that I’m choosing are a little more realistic.” Speaking of school: the 17-year-old added that she’s not planning on applying to any colleges. “I’m a firm believer that you can go back at any age you want, because my Grandma went back to college at 62," Cyrus said. "For right now, I really want to focus on my career. I've worked hard to get to where I am now, and I want to enjoy it while it lasts."

Nothing she does is for any value at all. She can't sing, act or anything, just like her Dad, but she can talk like a man.
The media always has to put somebody on the spot and I guess it's Miley's turn. Miley seems to have a good family behind her to support her, including her loyal fans. She will be fine. We like Miley and we love her music and she has got lots of talent. As it's been said, "When you DON'T have people hating on you, you must not be doing something right." We wish her nothing but the best of luck!
Geesh, what is it with the world today! The girl started off playing a character in a Disney TV show when she was 12 years old. So now she has to live the rest of her life to please eleven year olds? Miley wants to be a ROCK star, does anybody remember actually watching Hannah Montanna? She never said I want to be a country, pop or Gospel singer even on the Hannah show. She said "ROCK" star. Now that to me says ladies like Cher, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Pink ... So is Miley that far off track? Don't think so ... and remember Elvis was considered disgusting and shocking back in his early days. I am 54 and have been a fan of true rockers all of my life. I don't smoke, drink or use drugs. I'm happily married, never got pregnant. But I love rock music, the harder the better. The music and the performances don't make her a bad person, just a good rocker. One of the most shocking of all rock stars during his career was Alice Cooper. He is a successful business man, family man and a golf fanatic. Married to the same woman for 30+ years and his kids are part of his show now. He always said bad publicity is even better than good publicity ... People talk more about you that way! And the important thing is that they are talking about you! .... Rock on Miley!
Rich or poor, attending college is about acquiring new knowledge, which opens up an exciting new world of ideas. To attend college, however, is a matter of choice. Like her grandmother, I chose to return to college late in life and received my first BA at 60. Although that was my choice and the choice of some others, however, Miley has to make her own career decisions.
College is also for rich people who desire to know more like Emma Watson, Natalie Portman, and James Franco.
miley should not go to college she should know that if she had gone to college she wouldnt be where she is today, and she still is a role model college is for the idealess looking for a nine to five job to survive instead of living
what she has to realize, like a lot of these other "stars" is that the people buying her albums are middle school aged girls... adults aren't listening to her stuff. She needs to be aware that young girls are looking up to her bad example... sorry, comes with the territory!
Bad example? It's a freaking music video, and she has no obligation to set an example for others anyway. It's the children's parents' jobs to teach them how to be model citizens and good people in general, not some celebrity whose only contact with them might be a high five on the way to the stage or maybe a few minutes of idle chit-chat via a backstage pass. I'm a huge fan of hip-hop music but I don't look to the the personae that that artists portray to dictate how I will live my life. I'm not going to start selling coke by the truckload and start pimping some hoes so I can stack cheese next to my beamer, benz, or bentley. Parents need to stop blaming the entertainment industry for their children's behavior and instead take it upon themselves to be more involved in their children's lives, then maybe your daughters won't want to go out wearing less fabric than it takes to make a ShamWow and your sons won't go cruising in your SUV with the music playing at 70 decibels and their pants hanging around their knees.
Nothing you do is of any value at all, darlin'!!!
...and what great contribution to mankind have you provided?
Sorry OHNOOO, I think the millions of dollars she's made has quite a lot of value.
her daddy did a good job pimpin his lil' girl out that now she's going to be another ignorant musician!!!
Another fool heard from.
Amusing how people think Miley should concentrate on career over college since she has millions. Let's not forget as she follows Britney, Lohan, she may be worth nothing in a few years after after payin off DUI, Rehab etc charges. She is just another no-talent no brainer spandex-wearing 'entertainer'. Her, Lady Gaga, Beyonce just to name a few are trying to outdo each other by over-the-top outfits & videos. It's not about the music anymore.
You're so lucky to be clairvoyant. Maybe you can tell us all what the next Power Ball number are going to be. How do you know what her futures going to be? I'm sure your were the perfect little angel when you were 17.
Miley is comparing herself to Hilary Duff. I don't recall HIllary Duff doing anything as racy as that Can't Be Tamed video when she left Disney. I watched the video on VH1 this weekend and was shocked. She is shown in quite compromising positions with both men and women while in a very scanty feathered costume. She's not quite reached the level of Christina Aguilera's Dirty but it's only Miley's first video. I hate to see what comes next. It's another bad celebrity example that young teens and tweens are going to look to as what society expects of them. Hillary Duff has maintained her dignity and poise and serves as a good example for young ladies. Miley is heading down the Britney road.
I am a Mom of an 11 year old Miley fan. I have not yet seen her new video, however, my daughter has and she was very upset by it. She thought it was inappropriate and tasteless. There are ways to show you are growing up and not just a Disney personality without going to the extreme. Her parents need to giving her a little more guidance. I also wonder what her little sister thinks of the video.
Guess what Mom, she's not the same little 14 year old that started on Hannah Montana. How many times does she need to say it. Why do you expect her to continue to "play" that character? She's NOT Hannah Montana. There's plenty of other stars of the moment your daughter can latch onto, so relax. Stop trying to tell Miley's parents how to raise their kids. I'll bet anything that Miley's little sister is just fine with what she's doing. Hypocrites!
Well why don't YOU try raising your own daughter instead of expecting performing artists to do it? It's a free world and performers will be performers. Sorry, deal with it!
I have grown to like this girl, and guess what – I believe her. Spears was on the cover of Rolling Stone at 16 looking pretty "shocking" ..... that is entertainment.
Absolutely!
All I can say is WHAT? Can't b tamed sacres the crap out of me. What.................happened? Miley? Could you be sweet & innocent? Please? That video is sick & I don't care what you say, it is for shock value. It's look at me, I'm so grown up. Well, looka t me, honey. I'm done with u. pole dance= bad enough. This is IT. I'm so scared & hurt.
l'm a huge fan of Miley's.What l admire about her,is the fact that she knows her own mind.Miley has more itelligence that most ppl twice her age,because she's grown up in an adult world.There's far too many ppl out there that think they know whats best for her,but l don't think she's done too bad,so far.l've got complete confidence that Miley knows exactly what she wants out of life.Miley is a gd person.l think miley has got too much sense to go the way of (shall l say,others before her).l have so much respect for miley,she remains grounded,& true to herself,while others have gone off the rails.Miley has the love of her family,& l will always be a fan of hers,simply because l believe in her.God bless you miley,ur amazing.l personally love to see miley doing the peace sign,it still shows me,that in amonst all the glitzy lifestyle that goes with being a celebrity,she still believes in god,& whats gd & wholesome.Well done miley,& thnx for just being you.Miley is the most beautiful girl,both inside & out,that has ever walked this earth.PeaceXX
I like ur loyalty, but Miley's mixed up. God doesn't ask for or approve of what that video puts out. Sorry, no offense. Maybe I'm a prud but she's scaring me sooooooooooo bad. :0
Way to go Miley!! Keep up the good work!
Why should she go to college? She's already got a career and if she decides to go later, good for her. My only wish is that she stops with the damn peace sign.
College is for broke people who dont know what they want to do with their life. Miley is already rich so I guess the only reason she'd need to go is for the knowledge. But I have no idea what she'd want to study. Like music, for instance, she's already made it. She's almost 18. Thats hardly a child when you think about it. Cant be tamed isn't all that bad as I thought it would be. She jus seems to be slipping away from her disney channel image which is good. And lets be real. She probably does work hard. Give her some credit. It isn't easy being famous and impressing strangers 24-7.
dayum she looking very ک Ëx¥
Yeah....if you like horses.
Well, Miley is worth over 100,000,000 US Dollars, so where is the need to go to college? She has learned more than i had learned after i had 4 years of college. And, look at all the people who look up to her as a role model. I have two, my children. She could quite now and would never have to work again, nor would her children, their children and their children...
Well Bill, first of all she could get an education. $100,000,000 in Net Worth doesn't mean you shouldn't further your intelligence and expand your mental capacity. And to her defense....she can go later. More power to her if she does.
Secondly, with a college education she could take a class like Statistics which could show her the correllation between the types of people who buy her albums or movies and their education level in relation to their respective age groups across America to those who don't. Oddly enough I have those results. In short....her career is 99.9999999% based off of morons who don't know what talent is. The lone statistical analomy was a 17 year old blind High School Valedictorian who thought she was buying the audio book on Cyrus the Great but was accidently wronged by the employee at Best Buy who thought she meant Miley Cyrus.
Here's another Idiot..
Aww man, you didn't have to type that extra letter... should've used this word... "Tool"
Smart Move. Most entertainers who start out young then go to college early usally lose momentium and end up never regaining their prior success. By focusing on her career now, she is open to go to college at a later date, when things slow down or when she feels she has to slow down. By then she will have enough money to never work again should she choose to do so. Besides the main reason for going to college is to increase your earning potential. Miley's earning potential is already about as high as it can get, so her only reason for going would be personal expansion of her knowlege into an area she isn't already experienced with.
Really? Because I was thinking Brooke Shields, Jodie Foster, Emma Watson and Nathalie Portman. All went to college and yet had pretty decent careers. An intelligent, well-rounded performer is more marketable. Alternately, if the entertainment career doesn't pan out, you're left with an education.
Wow! I think she should go to college first before she focus entirely on her career
Of course it is. That's what most of the young talent is about these days. Look at Gaga and now Christine Agulara who has actual talent but has resorted to putting on a rubber suit and crawling around a stage. Miley is no different.
LOL
Just saw video of Untame. Dejuv of Brtney spears. It is the last time my daughter will have anything of hers. Indeed she has grown up to be an example of what not to be as a young lady. It is disappointing to see someone so talent wasted. The entertainment world has enough Britney Spears & Lohan
