You really should watch it at least once. It has a lot of cringe worthy moments, but it is also pretty good. There is no going back to Disney after this one.
Christina's Dirrty phase, Britney's pre-5150 phase, Madonna's Marilyn-wannabe phase, whatever Lady Gaga's first phase was -- shocking videos seems to be the sophomore year of their careers. Now if she graduates from this phase, she might be getting somewhere ...
I like the video's visual effects, but am 'eh' on the song. The song is no different from any random Rihanna song. And who knew that Miley was a furry?! LOL
So.... Miley uses giant pink scissors to cut off an ankle bracelet (?), turns up the volume on a dildo I mean radio, starts lip-synching, puts on Crest White Strips, combs her and bares her fangs, sorta crawls under the bed in a sports bra looking for her hotness, a random chick releases the smoke monster from her crotch, Miley don't care, some kids come out of the bushes, candle lighting or marshmallow roasting, Miley gyrating still in the sports bra and girdle, some guy eating the video's script, pastel SOS balls obviously screaming to be rescued before Miley opens one up and uses it like lipstick (?), a skull made out of french fries (?), Miley licking the SOS stuff off her lips, some girl with lips painted on the side of her face sucking on a lollipop, girl in a blue dress dancing with the smoke monster, someone eating something that looks like a mouth or maybe fruit, someone stomps on the french fry skull and then tries to kick it, Miley's in the water, so is another girl, Miley's out of the pool and in the psychedelic aquarium room with RuPaul, Miley spanks RuPaul in the PAR, someone's in the water, RuPaul is spanking Miley, and I'm so bored I'm quitting ... at :45.
Definitely trying too hard. It's like performance art for performance art's sake.
I immediately thought it sounded like Rihanna so makes sense it was written for her first. Sad. She can actually sing. She needs to stop shaking her skinny white ass and sticking out her tongue...just reminds me of an 8 yr old acting out!
God I hated the auto-tuned monotone of this song. Fuck the images. Can't someone actually sing anymore? I mean we know she can, why does everything have to be processed and over produced to death?
And the director was responsible for video. She probably had zero say in it. Or very little. I believe anyway.
she seems to be really obsessed with shaking her ass, perhaps it's time someone tell her that hers is flatter than a pancake and there's nothing there to shake.
sounds like every other lame pop song that's coming out lately. Am I the only person who is SICK of Miley trying to twerk? You look horrible, just stop.
The song is ok... catchy but not anything more than than the other massed-produced stuff. She seemed to emulate Madonna (in a negative way) - a lot of intense, deliberate staring into the camera with a lot of blinking. It was made to shock people but it just ended up making me feel awkward - like I shouldn't be watching this because it's one step away from a complete meltdown somehow...
a non a miss, if Beyonce did a video like this, it would be phenomenal! I can picture 500 websites springing to life to discuss all of the Illuminati symbolism in a french fry skull!
HighPriestess, a hot dog pinata makes me want to watch it to the end. :D
This vid seriously gives me the creeps. Obvs like everyone else said she is trying way too hard to get rid of her Disney image but going this way? anyone noticed how they say dancing with miley and it sounds just like dancing with MOLLY... and "trying to get a LINE in the bathroom"? She is garbage and so is the song.. sounds like in the 90's when you played a song backwards to listen to "hidden messages". Seriously WTF!!
If it wasn't for her camel toe, this video would be absolute crap.
She was way hotter "Party in the USA" (although she was a kid) and funnier/weirder in the twerking unicorn video. This just takes the worst of both. The music is also awful.
Miley actually has a decent voice but that was pretty bad, and worse-- gimmicky on a Hannah Montana level. Like something a 12 year old would think is cool.
At least she didn't display any camel toe. Considering how tight those pants were, I'm amazed!
@Lotta: Oh yeah. I don't think she is going anywhere for a while.
She is 20. She has a decade worth of easily attained attention. Liam break up, next dude, full nip slip, shit role in a movie to log a topless scene, country comeback album, lesbo dating rumors, Playboy shoot 10 years too late (29-30). As long as she stays in the news, people will buy her music and pretend it doesn't suck.
Blair Witch theory. If people hear something is supposed to be cool, they believe it and repeat it, rather than risk being an odd ball by admitting it sucks.
I seem to recall Miley saying at the time "Party in the USA" was released that she didn't really listen to that kind of music when questioned about the performers that she referenced and she said it in a really demeaning way as if the music sucked. Suddenly she suddenly into it and passing this trash around? Lastly, that video sucked (song as well). Over it.
Well, this just pisses me off. I got through a minute of the video. It's ridiculous, and the auto-tuning is annoying as hell. Miley is actually a very good singer. Her behaviour and all this other crap is just getting in the way of that.
Lost track of how many artists she is ripping off to appear "authentic" to herself. And for the love, keep that snake tounge IN your mouth! It makes you look desperate not sexy!!
This song does nothing for me. I am feeling guilty for downloading and gifting the "rapey" song blurred lines to all my girlfriends.
I don't hate Miley, BTW, just the shit pop music that has females (and some males) singing like breathless baby dolls. The affectations in the voices of most pop singers these days is sad. Kill this trend with a grease fire.
Oh my god...the EOS. Did y'all know that is a big thing with teenage girls? My 15yo had to have every one of them. What I can't believe is how EOS seems to have missed the boat on making these limited edition and collectible. They only seem to have, what, 4 flavors? Get on the ball, EOS!!! (No pun intended) ;)
That's a very strange video
ReplyDeleteDafuq did I just watch?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of the video, but the song is okay. It's not any worse than any of those other emancipated pop princesses.
ReplyDeleteShe's trying sooo hard to be shocking.. reminds me of Christina's "Dirrty" phase.
ReplyDeleteAnd deep in his cryochamber beneath Cinderella's castle, Uncle Walt sheds a frozen tear.
ReplyDeleteWTF?
ReplyDeleteI wish she would do some more Dolly Parton covers.
She seems to be emulating Kylie Minogue in this video
ReplyDeleteSort of.
ReplyDeleteChristina's Dirrty phase, Britney's pre-5150 phase, Madonna's Marilyn-wannabe phase, whatever Lady Gaga's first phase was -- shocking videos seems to be the sophomore year of their careers. Now if she graduates from this phase, she might be getting somewhere ...
ReplyDeleteI just can't watch. I get so embarrassed for her.....she is NOT sexy, and tries so damn hard.
ReplyDeleteAnd that huge pie hole!!!!!!!! Like shes gonna eat new york or something! Ugh
DeleteWow, WTF is right. Was that supposed to be artsy rap-sy? I am out of her demographic I admit, but this was so disjointed and horrible.
ReplyDeleteThe black girls twerking With Miley ....wtf!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid they miss the casting call to play slave roles for Paula Deen?????
Why did they have to be in this video?
Was it worth it?
I like the video's visual effects, but am 'eh' on the song. The song is no different from any random Rihanna song. And who knew that Miley was a furry?! LOL
ReplyDeleteSo.... Miley uses giant pink scissors to cut off an ankle bracelet (?), turns up the volume on a dildo I mean radio, starts lip-synching, puts on Crest White Strips, combs her and bares her fangs, sorta crawls under the bed in a sports bra looking for her hotness, a random chick releases the smoke monster from her crotch, Miley don't care, some kids come out of the bushes, candle lighting or marshmallow roasting, Miley gyrating still in the sports bra and girdle, some guy eating the video's script, pastel SOS balls obviously screaming to be rescued before Miley opens one up and uses it like lipstick (?), a skull made out of french fries (?), Miley licking the SOS stuff off her lips, some girl with lips painted on the side of her face sucking on a lollipop, girl in a blue dress dancing with the smoke monster, someone eating something that looks like a mouth or maybe fruit, someone stomps on the french fry skull and then tries to kick it, Miley's in the water, so is another girl, Miley's out of the pool and in the psychedelic aquarium room with RuPaul, Miley spanks RuPaul in the PAR, someone's in the water, RuPaul is spanking Miley, and I'm so bored I'm quitting ... at :45.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely trying too hard. It's like performance art for performance art's sake.
Hahahahahaha !
DeleteI didn't watch the video nor do I need to now .. Thanks for the entertaining rundown!!!
Hahahahahaha !
DeleteI didn't watch the video nor do I need to now .. Thanks for the entertaining rundown!!!
@seachica this song *was* written for Rihanna and she passed on it. Miley is definitely trying to morph into Rihanna circa 2008.
ReplyDeleteMadamChef, BRAVO for that summary! You completely nailed it.
ReplyDeleteThis is just awful.
ReplyDeleteJust so strange. Not much talent there.......very disappointing
ReplyDeleteIt was not only the worst video I've ever seen, but the worst song too. WTF is she doing???
ReplyDeleteI had to stop watching at around 40 seconds in - I couldn't take it anymore.
ReplyDeleteI get trying to be shocking, but...man, I wish the song was better. Or not better, because this is Miley, but at least catchy and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI muted it at the 1:15 mark and it made it easier to watch.
ReplyDeleteShe should have waited till she was getting long in the tooth..er....older to go the Madonna "hey look at how wild I am" route.
She is trying WAAAY to hard to be cool. And she really needs someone to dress her.
@MadamChef aw you mean you missed the guy rubbing bread on his face and her whacking the pinata bursting with hot dogs?
ReplyDeleteShe looks like Amanda Bynes' thuglife wannabe wet dream.
And what the hell is with the EOS lip balm product placement?
Ok miley we get it, you're not hannah montana any more. So rebellious.
I immediately thought it sounded like Rihanna so makes sense it was written for her first. Sad. She can actually sing. She needs to stop shaking her skinny white ass and sticking out her tongue...just reminds me of an 8 yr old acting out!
ReplyDeleteShe's trying too hard to make can't be tamed happen. She's gone from boring me to making me uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteenty I cant believe you said this video is pretty good? its an absurd iambic pantameter of miley in heat. fuck miley cyrus she sucks.
ReplyDeleteGod I hated the auto-tuned monotone of this song. Fuck the images. Can't someone actually sing anymore? I mean we know she can, why does everything have to be processed and over produced to death?
ReplyDeleteAnd the director was responsible for video. She probably had zero say in it. Or very little. I believe anyway.
I saw nothing good in that video. The song is just ok, but Miley's nasal voice ruines it. Poor girl is trying way too hard.
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste of a good voice.
ReplyDeleteshe seems to be really obsessed with shaking her ass, perhaps it's time someone tell her that hers is flatter than a pancake and there's nothing there to shake.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the director of this video looked at a bunch of Terry Richardson photos before trying to copy Fiona Apple's "Criminal" video.
ReplyDeleteIs there an award for worst actress in a video? The vocals are terrible even with autotune and stacking.
ReplyDeletesounds like every other lame pop song that's coming out lately. Am I the only person who is SICK of Miley trying to twerk? You look horrible, just stop.
ReplyDeleteThe song is ok... catchy but not anything more than than the other massed-produced stuff.

ReplyDeleteLike any of you give a royal fuck about Miley's career.
ReplyDeleteWTF do you have to be embarrassed about? It ain't you shaking your ass in a video.
You don't care, it's not your life, so get off the high horses.
Layna Day, spoken from atop your own mighty steed of judgement!
Delete@MadamChef - you win - I'm cracking up over here! Sounds so official :-).
DeleteNo need to have a hissy fit Layna, they're talking about Miley, not Bey.
DeleteFrufra :)
Deletea non a miss, if Beyonce did a video like this, it would be phenomenal! I can picture 500 websites springing to life to discuss all of the Illuminati symbolism in a french fry skull!
HighPriestess, a hot dog pinata makes me want to watch it to the end. :D
Look, I don't need to watch this video because all I see is Vanessa Beyers...and that's all I ever want to see when I think of Miley Cyrus.
ReplyDelete*Bayer
ReplyDeleteWell Layna we DON'T give a fuck about Miley's career that's why we're making fun of it.
ReplyDeleteclose your freaking mouth! enough. gawd
ReplyDeleteThis vid seriously gives me the creeps.

ReplyDeleteMs. Hillbilly, big mouth, chewing like a cow is at it again.
ReplyDeleteWeird video, don't find it artistic or great.
Just plain Stop It!!
If it wasn't for her camel toe, this video would be absolute crap.
ReplyDeleteShe was way hotter "Party in the USA" (although she was a kid) and funnier/weirder in the twerking unicorn video. This just takes the worst of both. The music is also awful.

ReplyDeleteAt least she didn't display any camel toe. Considering how tight those pants were, I'm amazed!
LOL, Kermit! If you spotted camel toe you must have been looking closer than I. ;)
ReplyDelete@Mango- I'm positive that only 12 year olds will think this is cool. Her fan base will always be tweens.
ReplyDelete@Lotta: I bet she takes the gays when Cher and Madonna give em up.
ReplyDeleteI'm as tired of her as her boyfriend is.
ReplyDelete@Count- you think she has the longevity for that? I don't think she does.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a really bad SOS chap stick commercial at first.
ReplyDelete@Lotta: Oh yeah. I don't think she is going anywhere for a while.
ReplyDeleteShe is 20. She has a decade worth of easily attained attention. Liam break up, next dude, full nip slip, shit role in a movie to log a topless scene, country comeback album, lesbo dating rumors, Playboy shoot 10 years too late (29-30).

Blair Witch theory. If people hear something is supposed to be cool, they believe it and repeat it, rather than risk being an odd ball by admitting it sucks.
I reluctantly agree and love all of Count's posts on this.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies Ms Cool. I'll try to come up with something crude and offensive tomorrow to make things right ;)
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall Miley saying at the time "Party in the USA" was released that she didn't really listen to that kind of music when questioned about the performers that she referenced and she said it in a really demeaning way as if the music sucked. Suddenly she suddenly into it and passing this trash around? Lastly, that video sucked (song as well). Over it.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a 22 yo who will never know financial hardship. Telling me how she is going to party in her house.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Count. I feel the need to be offended real soon. ;-)

ReplyDeleteOh boy, that probably came out wrong.
ReplyDelete@MsCool: LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, this just pisses me off. I got through a minute of the video. It's ridiculous, and the auto-tuning is annoying as hell. Miley is actually a very good singer. Her behaviour and all this other crap is just getting in the way of that.
ReplyDeleteThe song is already stuck in my head. Nice product placement.
ReplyDeleteI will admit - I like the french fry skull.
Why no mention of the video, I Wanna Channing on Your Tatum?
ReplyDeleteNot to interfere with your after glow Ms. Cool but I thought the Count was spot on to. Yup, that all sounds juuuust about right.
ReplyDeleteFreya: I Wanna Channing on Your Tatum? OMG I have to go look for that now. It sounds almost as good as "I Fucked Matt Damon".
what in holy hell?
ReplyDeleteIts catchy
ReplyDeleteALREADY stuckiin my head
Shes a baby still has so much living to do
Lost track of how many artists she is ripping off to appear "authentic" to herself. And for the love, keep that snake tounge IN your mouth! It makes you look desperate not sexy!!
ReplyDeleteThis song does nothing for me. I am feeling guilty for downloading and gifting the "rapey" song blurred lines to all my girlfriends.
I like it when Miley sticks her tongue out. I bet she puts that thing in baaaad places.
ReplyDeleteSherry: the thing is that Miley has become the go-to celeb to shit on lately. When she's pretty damn harmless.
ReplyDeleteIf y'all are into a scat party, go for it.
If you judges others, expect to be judged. Even on gossip blogs.
I lasted 53 seconds. JC, I need to cleanse my soul with some Janis Joplin.
ReplyDeleteI don't hate Miley, BTW, just the shit pop music that has females (and some males) singing like breathless baby dolls. The affectations in the voices of most pop singers these days is sad. Kill this trend with a grease fire.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it...
ReplyDeleteI just laughed my ass off, god that was a joke. Is she trying to be Pink and Fiona Apple? that was 3 1/2 minutes I'll never get back.
ReplyDeleteDidnt hear the song, because I dont want any witnesses that I just watched this damn thing. lol
and doesn't twerking require some semblance of an ass? 0.O
ReplyDeleteOh my god...the EOS. Did y'all know that is a big thing with teenage girls? My 15yo had to have every one of them. What I can't believe is how EOS seems to have missed the boat on making these limited edition and collectible. They only seem to have, what, 4 flavors? Get on the ball, EOS!!! (No pun intended) ;)
ReplyDeleteI suffered from serious fontrum watching this.
ReplyDeletePlease stop telling me how you can say and do what you want because of your ridiculous sense of entitlement. Millenials, ugh.
Somebody's going through a Madonna "SEX" phase
ReplyDelete@EASports: And the fact that Dunham has been naked on film and Miley hasn't is proof that god doesn't love us.
ReplyDelete
