The most recent musician in the genre of pop that has been negatively portrayed is Mile y Cyrus. She has been for the younger crowd and they have really grown to love her. Just up until not to long ago many critics have been condemning her for minor issues. Thing’s that Lady Gaga did and no one would even say anything. On Miley Cyrus's eighteenth birthday she celebrated she smoked a hookah pipe with some kind of herb non-harmful. The media went crazy and parents refused their kids to listen to her music. Everyone that made a big deal really blew it out of the water. She is over eighteen years old and as long as it is not illegal she has the right to do what she chooses.
There are many musicians that have done wrong things, but the media ignores what they want to. As for Miley Cyrus , I think that many people were always so use to seeing her do shows for the younger audience and they were done very innocent. She is growing up and she wants to do the things that she enjoys and dress the way she chooses. If the media is unhappy with her ways then they don't have to listen to her, but they shouldn't condemn her either. The things she does are extremely innocent compared to Lady Gaga. Many people will talk good about her before they say something nice about Miley Cyrus. I guess it's because Lady Gaga must pay more money to the companies that are airing and distributing her music.
We have musicians that are negatively condemned by the media and then we have musicians that need to be negatively mentioned through the media. Musicians do need a chance to express who they are and what they want to sing about. There is nothing wrong with expressing yourself through the music or clothing you wear, but to a certain extent. When musicians begin to be grotesque in ways that are embarrassing then that is when the media should begin to worry. I am not against the media speaking the truth, but I am against musician Miley Cyrus being negatively portrayed. Just because she wants to grow and do things that express herself. The public media should support Miley Cyrus because by condemning her isn’t going to make things better it may even make her become rebellious.
Sometimes what the media does is make people think that they are doing wrong and they then feel less confident in themselves. The media must learn that just because a musician such as Miley Cyrus is not what they want her to be does not mean they should degrade her for minor reasons. Every individual might do something that is not a hundred percent correct, but we are all learning in life and we need the one’s that are looking out for us to help us make better decisions in life. Negative portrayal is not always the best way to react towards others.
Miley Cyrus is a great example of how the music negatively portrays artist. As I was reading your blog it came to mind the differences between Miley and Lady Gaga. Miley Cyrus is transforming into a young woman and finding her own self still, as we all have done during adolescent period of our lives. Lady Gaga on the other hand is already older and stands firm on who she is as a person. Miley is prey to the press because coming from the Disney channel it is somewhat outrageous and controversial of the decisions she makes. I am not saying that people’s views are just, only understandable. The problem here lies in the fact that all of these people forgot what it was like to be a teenager. Even worse, they have probably forgotten what it was like to raise their teens into adult hood. I think that she should be cut some slack. On the contrary, if I was witness to any young adult smoking anything, I would shake my head at that too. I guess it is not to unrealistic for some to criticize her for smoking in the public eye and being proud of it. Also anyone who is raised in the public eye should be mentored on how to act in the public eye. It comes with the territory. Also, since Lady Gaga is at a more mature stage in her life I think that has to do with the criticism she receives. But I think she is also harshly critiqued. The girl actually has a great philosophy of life and what she represents as a person.
