Miley Cyrus has brought a lot of attention to herself with her radical transformation from being a star in a kids show to a destructive drug abusing person, according to some of her fans, but many of those people fail to understand that Miley Cyrus is no longer a kid and she haves the right to change her style of music because she is doing what she likes and she is doing it her own way, in the contrary she is showing that she knows what she wants and does not care of what others think of her because this is what makes her happy. From being a role model musician as a country singer and not to mention a star in a kid’s television show “Hanna Montana”, to a reckless drug abusing, pop rock musician, Miley Cyrus has become …show more content…
What a lot of people do not understand is that everyone is bound to change whether is for good or for bad. According to the article “Hannah Montana’s Bare, Unprotected back: Miley Cyrus’s vanity fair outing” written by Kincaid James, a lot of young stars are used as icons, and most of the time is not the artist decision to do things, sometimes they are told to do things in order to gain publicity and later on judged for their actions because not everyone approves certain things. Kincaid comments that In the magazine Vanity Fair in 2008 Miley Cyrus at the age of 15 appeared in a photograph and she gives the impression of being naked and only covered by a sheet, but still exposing her naked back, according to Kincaid young artist are objectified and should be left alone and should not be judged for their actions because we all do things that seem okay at the time but yet are offensive to …show more content…
Even do Miley Cyrus was still part of the TV show Hannah Montana, she was already starting to show to her fans that she cares about others and she is willing to help those in need without hesitation, as she stated that she would donate $1 dollar for every ticket sold in that concert. “We are honored and grateful for the generosity of Disney, Creative Artists Agency and the dedication of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers in supporting the lifesaving work of City of Hope,” said Michael A. Friedman, M.D., president and chief executive officer, City of
You know she's a Jackson. And you know she's a singer. Of course, you know the girl can dance. You know she's a leading lady in Hollywood. And maybe you still think of her as a cute little girl with a famous last name and big , bright eyes. Do you think she's what she was yesterday? Better think again. As many of her other fans and followers already know, the only label that fits her is… Janet.
Demi Lovato is more than just a famous actress and singer. She has dedicated much of her time to her fans. Everyone faces their own battles and have their own insecurities, yet she inspires her fans to embrace and overpower them. She not only uses her vocals for singing, she uses it to reach out to her fans. In terms of sales (music and concert), advocating mental health, and philanthropy, Demi Lovato has changed the meaning of the music industry.
... The Rolling Stones and Justin Bieber were both very different, they had similar actions and it all began once the fame hit. We as a society and as individuals are able to learn how lucky we are with the things that we have. We have the choice to not act the way that our role models do. They chose not to change themselves and the actions that they cause. For us they are a demonstration of how we shouldn’t be acting. We see the effects of what they’re doing and we can see how much it hurts them and all of the people around them.Things have changed in such a way that people now think that drugs, lies, and running around is alright. The roots and beliefs that our nation once had about a family lifestyle are now old memories. People no longer think that way and most of it is because we see how our role models are acting and we assume that it is the right way to live.
Today it is hard to imagine a female celebrity without seeing mental images of someone stumbling out of clubs, under the influence of drugs and alcohol, or exposing their skin. What has happened to the role models that were once defined by people like Audrey Hepburn, Mother Teresa and Eleanor Roosevelt. In between the chaotic mess of people like Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, and the Kardashians is an under-rated role model, Taylor Swift. Just at the age of twenty four, she holds the prestige of winning seven Grammy's becoming one of the greatest musical sensations. Aside from her music, her keen attitude is receiving accolade from many people. Taylor Swift is the best role model for girls of because of her clean public image.
As stated by The New York Times, an American daily newspaper founded and continuously published in New York City since September 18, 1851. “For a second year in a row Miley Cyrus generated a lot of attention at the MTV Video Music Awards, this time by sending 22-year-old homeless man to accept an award in her place to draw attention to homeless youth in the United States.” To put it another way, Miley Cyrus wanted to be the attention center in the middle of the MTV Video Music Awards so that all the people who were there, and also all the viewers, can see what she is doing for the less fortunate. However, I think that it does not matter if Miley Cyrus helped the homeless only to fix her reputation because her support to the homeless people is being known a an honorable action. It helped on young people to find the opportunities to step into resolving issues to be able to take accountability and move forward with their
Parents did not approve of Cyrus swinging into concerts on giant tongues or hot dogs, and most parents certainly did not approve of her licking sledge hammers in the music video for “Wrecking Ball.” She has become known for her controversial appearances at award ceremonies. In 2013 at MTV’s European Music Awards, Miley pulled out marijuana and smoked while she accepted the video of the year award. This sparked a lot of media attention. Cyrus’s twerking at the 2013 Video Music Awards also sparked quite a bit of controversy because she was twerking on stage with a married
In today’s world, celebrities are often misunderstood, especially singer/songwriter Robin Rihanna Fenty, referred to as Rihanna. Rihanna’s sexual behaviors in her videos have been talked about in negative ways for some time now, but what people do not understand is that it is all for fame. Celebrities will do anything to keep their careers going strong. If one really took the time out to take a deep look at Rihanna, they will notice how humble she really is. After going through the abusive relationship with Chris Brown, Rihanna has struggled with gaining that strong confidence in who she is.
Unfortunately, Twenty-first century pop music artist such as Headly have been able to profit heavily from the glamorization of engaging in risky sexually behaviors, and and untouchable “I can do anything” attitude as a way to achieve popularity and fame. Thus, the individual identities of these artist’s young fans, due to the frequency of exposure to such uncensored topics, have become much more open to engaging in risky behaviors such as experimentation with drugs, sex, and alcohol with little consideration of consequence.
In one episode of the now discontinued tv show that had 103 episodes (IMDb, 2013), Toddlers and Tiaras, a 3 year old girl dressed up in an outfit modeled after Julia Roberts’ character in Pretty Woman. This 3 year old, dressed as a prostitute flounced along the stage waving to the judges with hands on her hips. (Canning, 2011). Another example of celebrity mimicry for these pageants which sexualize these children that has been aired on Toddlers and Tiaras is when a 6 year old was stuffed into a padded bra in order to dress up as a busty Dolly Parton (Adams, 2012). These pageants then become a breeding ground for dangerous predators, Kidscape, an organization which attempts to prevent the bullying of children, CEO Claude Knights tells the Guardian Magazine ‘"We do know that predators or paedophiles continually tend to justify their interest in children by saying children are sexual beings. That children are now given a channel to become little Lolitas, to be portrayed as older, to almost become mini adults – these are all trends that give legitimacy to that kind of thinking."’ (Day, 2010). The phenomenon of sexual predators making child pageants unsafe has even infiltrated pop culture and has been spoken about in TV shows like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and in many documentaries such as America the Beautiful: Sexualizing our Youth. These young girls are put on stage and are given things like fake teeth, fake eyelashes and spray tans in order to look older, this is a thinly veiled opportunity to make children look sexy in the same way that 25 year olds looks sexy. Ignoring the looming threat of abuse, dressing and giving a child other beauty enhancements in order to make them look attractive in a way that America traditionally sees adults as attractive robs the children of childhood and will cause them to
...many little girls dream of being, she is now famous for much different choices. Miley has gone from teenage pop sensation to shocking her audiences by flaunting herself around the world. She states in US magazine, “I want to see people sing along and participate in my show.” She does not want to see phones in front of her fans faces. She wants to see people having a great time and enjoying her show (Nome, 49). Miley Cyrus has done many shocking and remembering things in her life but still has big plans for her future.
"Children are influenced by media–they learn by observing, imitating, and making behaviors their own" (APA, 2001, p.1224). Girl’s as young as 4-years sees Britney Spears music clip “Baby One More Time”, who at the time was a 17-year old girl/world pop icon at the time wearing a school uniform showing off her midriff, wearing a lot of makeup and a short skirt. Disney teen icons such as Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana taking personal photos of herself in “sexy” poses and sending it to her ‘older’ boyfriend and then having it all published all over the internet for the entire world to see. Boys also face sexualization too, as has been seen in Calvin Klein ads, where pubescent-looking boys pose provocatively with perfectly sculpted six-pack abs hawking teen fashion These pop culture celebrities both female and male are always in the media, for inappropriate actions and they’re meant to be role models for children. In fact most of these sexualized celebrities are still children themselves. The sad part is it’s not just sexualization being encouraged in the media other negative things such as violence, drug and alcohol use ...
For instance, before Nicki Minaj gets famous, she started her career by degrading women in her mix tape, “Sucka Free,” cover picture because most people think hip-hop is only male profession, and it has little respect for women because mostly men listen to hip-hop. And so for female rappers to get the attention from those men, she has to jumpstart her career by using her sex appeal image. In addition to her degrading cover pose, that might caused young women in our society to accept it as a norm, she was criticized by many because that posture was not only inappropriate, but it was copied from Lil’ Kim. In fact, it was the same pose Lil' Kim uses on one of her older cover...
Yet, recently, Taylor Swift has embraced what people have said about her. In her most recent album, 1989, Swift has taken a different approach than she did in her earlier years.
When Brittany Murphy died, when Lindsay Lohan was jailed, when Britney Spears shaved off her hair, the question was asked – what have we done to these kids? We all love rags to riches stories, but it seems that the people are almost as fond of riches to rags – or let’s say, stardom to failure. What happens when a successful young performer becomes a has-been star? The high-profile troubles of celebs like Michael Jackson and Gary Coleman reinforces the truth that nearly every kid who has worked in the entertainment industry has struggled as an adult. Although some may argue that several child stars have gone on to have stable and successful careers as adults, our contention here is that a lot of celebrities who were exposed to the limelight at a young age become scarred for life by their early success and fame and tend to compensate for the childhood they were deprived of during their later years in life.
In conclusion, she is a very good role model. She is a good role model because she shows people it is good to give to charity and she is a hard worker. She also shows that you don’t need to have inappropriate songs or inappropriate performances to be popular. This is why she is my favorite superstar and I wanted to write a research paper on her.
