Saw her on Alan Carr Chatty Man last night....So bloody annoying. And why does she insist in sticking her tongue out in every single picture taken of her ?

but unless an artist has their own record label isn't it all about making a record company rich and a pop start famous, it is all hype and PR until somebody else younger prettier "edgier" comes along, do we honestly think one direction is going to be around in 5 years

- Mrsjay, how could you??????!!

SirChenjin · 15/09/2013 10:48

Right, slattern that I am, I am still in my PJs at 10.50am and I have a mountain of ironing to do. I am off!

mrsjay · 15/09/2013 10:53

Mrsjay, how could you??????!!

I am sorry yes of course 1d are going to be around for years to come there there dear it is ok

SPBisResisting · 15/09/2013 10:59

SUrely the record companies are in the driving seats? Apart from possibly for huge stars like Madonna or Elton john? Sure everyone else just does pretty much as they're told.

SPBisResisting · 15/09/2013 11:00

I can't imagine SC sayinf "yes dear...mmm don't you think you should tone that outfit down a bit? No? OK then, your call"

Viviennemary · 15/09/2013 11:06

What other bad habit will take the place of this. I shudder to think. What a ghastly creature this girl has become. What's gone wrong. It won't end well. It's sad it has all gone wrong.

I was responding to several posters who said the record companies are to blame for the way Miley is acting.

They aren't. The media dictates everything in the music business.

SirChenjin · 15/09/2013 11:21

And the record companies put the pressure on the artists to sell or lose their contracts - and so that means using the media to raise your profile. The media is the vehicle, the record company push for results, and the artists are the puppets.

SirChenjin · 15/09/2013 11:22

Shit - I still haven't done the ironing, I am definitely off now.

ExcuseTypos · 15/09/2013 11:29

But if the media didn't insist on only writing about outrageous things, the artists wouldn't have to make such outrages videos/lyrics and women wouldn't have to behave so outrageously.

Of course record companies want results. They aren't charities.

I don't listen to her videos or watch her on TV, but I am conscious of her - unless you live in a cave you can't help being. I've also got 2 teenagers and a 6 year old, and the older 2 are very aware of her and her behaviour. Fortunately they are both intelligent enough to think she's pathetic, but there are plenty of girls in DDs year who have completely bought into the whole hyper sexualised imagery that the media/record companies/artists churn out.

So yes, we can switch off - but wouldn't it be better to challenge the behaviour or Miley et al and demand more real talent?

EmmaBemma · 15/09/2013 12:37

isshoes I found the OP's language misogynist, yes. It's not a word I "bandy around" every day, and I reserve the right to call it when I see it: you don't get to tell people how they should and shouldn't respond to language.

EmmaBemma · 15/09/2013 12:38

though I do take your point, ryangoslingspants, that you didn't intend it to come across that way.

Gruntfuttock · 15/09/2013 12:42

OP, I think you are being VVU to want to stitch Miley's mouth closed.
A staple gun would be so much quicker and less labour-intensive. I wouldn't be without mine.

VitoCorleone · 15/09/2013 12:48

I think she looks like the third member of Jedward.

cocolepew · 15/09/2013 12:59

I think she lucked out with Hannah Montana, she wasn't even the most talented in her own show Lily was

I had to suffer it when the DDs were younger and the movie was soul destroying.

ubik · 15/09/2013 14:38

Frankly I don't think the tongue waggling bottom wiggling crotch grabbing persona is Miley either. In fact I don't Miley even knows who she us. Apart from someone who can shift units and make money for shareholders.

ubik · 15/09/2013 14:40

you don't get to tell people how they should and shouldn't respond to language.

Why on earth not?

cannotfuckingbelievethis · 15/09/2013 16:02

If I'm being completely honest I still don't get why my original comment has been perceived as mysoginistic. I do not suggest that she shouldn't be sticking her tongue out because she is female or that she should be silenced but simply state that it's bloody annoying and getting a bit old now.

And I wasn't telling you how to do anything, I was pointing out a misnomer.

12thDoctorsCompanion · 15/09/2013 19:22

Im in complete that posters are taking the OPs metaphor so literally!

how many threads are titles with similar metaphors and phrases? like wanting to string up a politician by his Jacobs or send some shamelebrity into a black hole and other examples?

SirChenjin · 15/09/2013 19:26

But this is MN 12thdoctor, the place where the concept of 'tongue in cheek' has yet to be invented
