Miley Cyrus - Does a Cute Kitten Change All the Controversy?

I know gone are the days of the nice young "Disney" girl who showed good heartedness and innocence to our young girls. It's pretty much inevitable that at some point the lovely young ladies in the celebrity world have to "grow up" and at some point show themselves as "artists".

I'm not going to go on a Miley tangent or devalue the lady at all. That's not this bloggers style but what I will ask is - why can't we just focus on the singing? If you can stand listening to the song/meaning all the way through - this girl hits a range and can really sing! Are all the theatrics really needed? Guess so, all the internet is talking today about the kitten and the performance (take that as you will). Even with the kitten showing her signature move of winking and sticking out tongue at the end (again...referring to the kitten on screen - not a derogatory comment to Cyrus and calling her kitten - this empowering woman would never do that). ANYWAY.....

It'd be real nice to focus on the music and singing. ...guess it's just the way of marketing nowadays and use of social media to show your "value". What do you think this tells our young ladies? In an instant you can be "cute" again and this automatically undoes everything negative that people said about you?

What do you think?
