Um 'most' people on twitter & in person said it was an AMAZING performance. I mean, she set a record with the tweets (which Miley later broke), but I just want to say that Miley was on Disney so all these little children were looking up to her. But the thing that sparked all this attention is the VMA performance. I mean it's like she has completely transformed at of nowhere into a sl*t. Nobody was expecting it from a former disney star. And the thing with Beyonce, she will never in a million years do the things Miley is doing, rubbing a foam finger between your legs, constantly having her legs open onstage... I mean seriously, the media isn't protecting nobody. They're just stating how it is

At least she was dancing with her husband

and not with some other married man

LMAO another avenue for Yonce haters to channel their jealousy. Let it all out.

It's true. Whether you want to admit or not, the backlash Miley received after the VMA would never happened if it was Rihanna or Beyoncé in her place and let's not act like they don't do more sexual stuff than that.
People make fun of Miley all the time . Being disrespectful to her isn't wrong in their minds, it's not denigrating women's image, but saying the same about Beyoncé, for instance, is puting women in general, down.

yes, let's blame Miley for PERFORMING with an adult married man who agreed to perform with her. Let's solely continue blaming her for that. You are just confirming the point of the article.
So, if she performed with a single man the backlash would not have happened? Was that her mistake? Is that what makes her so offensive to the media? think about it....

Miley's backlash was from the fact that it was stupid. She Had a chicken fillet ass, her tongue wagging like a dog, looking like a prepubescent boy, humping his uncle.

And the minority mot enjoying thr Superbowl performance, does not negate the fact that theb majority did.

Bullsh*t. If Bey's halftime show was as "hated" as this article makes it out to be, the dislike bar on YouTube would've surely supported this claim.

Obviously, Beyoncé or Rihanna didn't star in a Disney channel show that was targeted towards kids for most of their careers. Ultimately, that's where most of Miley's "shock factor" stems from. She didn't gradually transform into a sex kitten like Rihanna or Bey did. She just went right for it.

Sooo true!

Body shaming now. So it's all about having a nice body, women are only allowed to do sexy performances if they look good on the camera and their bodies look great according to the societal standards?

I understand the shock response, not people calling her names and making fun of her appearance and the fact she danced with a married man. Obviously there are more layers to this, not only the shock the GP had. The misogynism is strong in this case.

the comments and likes bar of the superbowl performance on youtube say otherwise. bye. not even 10% GP read critics. nice try tho. it's ridiculous to see what beyhaters are reduced to.

No Beyonce and Rihanna would have been bashed if they pulled the stunt Miley did. I don't think it was so much so the twerking. But the ridiculous foam finger and tongue wagging that made it kinda uncomfortable. You also have to add into account Miley comes from a complete different background as a huge part of her brand not long ago was primarily towards children. That dramatic 180 she pulled was gonna pull a lot of controversy.

I think in general people need to stop making shallow comparisons as to why this person is receiving this treatment. It's a lot deeper and has more cause to that perception of them, but then again a lot of people are too biased to do that

1. Who cares if she didn't collab with a female artist on the album. And you do realize one of the more prominent songs from the album featured the feminist & renowned Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The quote from Chimamanda increased intense discussion on feminism and the questioning of female/male dynamics. Is that not a positive thing in of itself and drives the message home??? Also what about her staff, background dancers/singers, songwriters/producers she works with. A lot of them tend to be female the fact she gives these women opportunities breaks so many barriers

2. What's wrong with calling the tour the Mrs. carter tour??? The point of being a feminist is believing in equality for women and for women to make choices with what they want to do with life. Feminism is not this one dimensional meaning and outlook it encompasses many because depspite many feminists share being the same sex they come from different cultures/socio economic statuses etc... Will be a big indicator in how they see themselves, hence why some are proud to rep their wife status. Doesn't absolve the fact that Beyonce is an empowered business woman or talented in any form

3. The essay is far from half assed . And so what if she calls herself a KING, there have been plenty of times she has referred to herself as Queen to assert her confidence/power. In the end it's just a title just like how people consider Hatshepsut the first female king, doesn't mean people believe she is above queen nefertiti

The only legitimate argument you have is the "eat the cake line" which i'm still confused as to why it was used. But then again the album's theme was to be her most personal and with that comes hypocrisy like all human beings.

Queens are below Kings, your post is invalid

Well when your shorts are two sizes too small, you're kind of setting yourself up for criticism aren't you?



And I sincerely doubt that Miley was trying to be sexy. She was trying to be outlandish court controversy.

Not you trying to make Angela credible. Low, even for you!
