AIBU to say the new MC song is amazing but the accompanying video is pants [or no pants as this case would be].

Disappointed as I love the Dolly Parton/Jolene feel of the song and thought the video would be an opportunity for something really entertaining, ie. MC as DP tribute act and a storyline with a Liam Hemsworth lookalike [or the real thing, swoon!]

Instead we get Miley driving around in a drab car, flashing her bare butt, strippers and pole dancers being ogled by priests, kids firing guns and Mark Ronson Hmm

I really like the song but was also pretty disappointed by the video. Especially the bum flash! I thought she was over that “phase”

I wonder if it is actually her bum or a bum double?

Either way, it's still plain dull and uninspired.

MC looks dead bored herself in the video, I don't blame her if that's the best her production crew could come up with.

No it's definitely her bum. I liked the concept of the video and the stunts and the cinematography etc. It was a great concept and the bit with the bullet going past her was cool. I liked the social commentary with the kids pulling the trigger.

But yeah, she's not a performer. She could be an automaton.

However the tune is AMAZING and I'm going to download it immediately.

It's a Mark Ronson production. It's very much his brand. Miley would have next to no say over the video.

YABU. The song’s not amazing. Dull Dolly copy.

Togaandsandals · 16/12/2018 03:07

I liked the video as i don’t think the words are limited to an interpretation of it being about a relationship as Jolene was. I thought it’s about the pain most of of us carry around for various reasons. The video had foreboding and sense of doom in it. Great tune and I want Miley’s bum! U

I thought Miley had stopped doing that too.

Flashing bum and crotch, with minimal knickers, is quite fashionable at the moment, evidenced by last night's Strictly final.

Bullshit. Miley has complete control of anything and every thing. She's not a puppet unless she allows it. Which apparently she did.

HappyStripper · 16/12/2018 20:59

Honestly I was just pleased that the depiction of the strip club was roughly accurate for once.

JulieBindelAteMyHomework · 16/12/2018 21:32

Miley actually had a huge say in what went on the video and the car etc was all her idea. The song is about the devastation and violence in today's world etc etc blah blah blah and Miley got to flash her backside one more time.

HappyStripper · 16/12/2018 21:44

I don’t see the problem with her flashing anything she wants. You’re not obligated to watch the video or stare at her arse. Sure you may not be a fan of it but I’d just chalk it up to it being not my preferred style of music video without spending time bashing it.

Whisky2014 · 16/12/2018 21:46

I really like the song :) haven't watched video and won't bother.

Whisky2014 · 16/12/2018 21:52

Oh that didnt last long. I did bother.. it was ok.

Yes Whisky... but think of all the money that was spent on it. Do think it could have been / should have been better than 'okay'?

I didn't watch the video to get a flash of Miley's bum. There was no purpose to it.. she was driving the drab car and suddenly decided to clamber into the back seat so we could all get to perve at her bum cheeks. No thanks Hmm

Haven’t seen the video but is it just me, or is the song a ‘tribute’ to her Dad’s?? Or just a coincidence? I’m genuinely not sure

Whisky2014 · 16/12/2018 22:11

Yeh it could easily have been better. But that could be said for lots of things!

I like the song and I really like Miley. She was on radio 2 the other day and seemed down to earth.

auntsarent · 16/12/2018 22:20

Just watched it and really like the video
