This has nothing to do with being a role model. This is about ART. What is being contributed. Who is being uplifted by this? That is the function of art--to uplift, inspire humanity.
If you read my posts, that's exactly what I'm saying - the art in that performance was non existent.
Which has been duly noted and thus the performance soundly rejected - by humanity.
So I've been thinking about this performance since it happened because...wow, what a trainwreck.
She's trying too hard on many levels -- she's trying to be more adult than she is/knows how to be, she's trying to be edgier than she is, she's definitely trying to be sexy and I think as anyone knows, sexy isn't anything you can "try" to be.
I get that she doesn't want to be identified as Hannah Montana anymore, but what she needs is guidance on how to make the transition, not just decide that she wants to be "hard" and "edgy" -- it comes across as "little girl lost" more than anything. Kind of like when people try to use big words and you can tell they don't fully understand the meaning.
On the other hand, she's 20 years old, and I think almost everyone has moments of mortification at 20 (I definitely did). 20 is a weird age -- not a kid anymore, but not fully an adult either (at least, not when it comes to common sense). The difference is that none of us had to go through this in the public eye.

It's just some married pigs writing misogynistic songs. Anyway their personal lives are irrelevant. Songs don't acquire different meanings because they are written or sang by different people. If mother Theresa composed "lick it" or "my neck my back" it wouldn't change the meaning or message of those songs.
No they don't change meaning, but they also don't mean what people want to believe from looking at lyrics or a song title out of context.

If everyone here can at least agree to that much, it will restore my faith in humankind.
