I think she has a cute little body, but the outfit at the VMA was just "unflattering"!! People with nice bodies can look unflattering, maybe they don't know? Not sure. You can look dorky and sexy without looking pathetic and unflattering!!!

It was a triumph. This was the whole point.
Personally, I don't think it's right for anyone to say something horrid about Miley's body. =( We are all women with different body types.
However, I really disagree with people who say that Miley's display of sexuality is self-expression. It is hugely entangled with her desire to become a part of an "urban black" identity. Why her actions and performance at the VMAs was NOT an act of empowerment? Because she exploits the stereotypes of another community in the service of breaking out of her Disney image. She is so desperately trying to get away from that "good girl" persona, she catapulted to the other extreme (not just in sex, but in race). It's superficial, offensive and oppressive.
Her are actions that are MEANT to shock people, but had the completely opposite response. People are embarrassed for her because they don't see a fully grown confident woman expressing her sexuality. They see a desperate little girl, on a sloppy, rocky, road to self-discovery.
Nothing is wrong with choosing to be sexual, crass or both. But it IS wrong when those actions stem from a desire to be an "urban black girl" while lacking the true life experience and influences from that background.
The difference is that everyone you posted has talent. Their controversy challenged people and their boundaries. This did not. This is controversy cause she acted like a little kid attempting to be sexy. It was sad, really. No one will be buying Miley's album because of this...well, I hope they won't be.
Hey, thanks for starting the thread btw. I think Miley killed it (i mean that positively). She didn't stumble - didn't look drugged up at all - she just went all out crazy-bones. Btw, check this out - it's the history of twerking, pretty hilarious http://doyouremember.com/news/an-abridged-history-of-twerking
I didnt watch the award show but have seen the clips on E News. All I saw was perversion in her performance. It was so disturbing. It is sad that this is what is being displayed for our children to watch. I grew up on MTV, and my, times have changed.
I have never been a Miley fan but I do see that there is something deeper that has taken over this poor child. My prayers go out to her because this is not going to have a good turn out. So so sad. My heart aches for her right now.
I heard someone say once that when you proclaim your love for Him (like she did when she first came out), the "enemy" will attack you, use you, embarrass you, then spit you out for the world to see you being ridiculed. After all he (the enemy) is out to hurt Him but he uses us to do so because He loves us so much.
She made headlines for her very racy performance at Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards.
And it seems Miley Cyrus just can't resist showing off her toned physique at every opportunity.
The 20-year-old is seen wearing a black crop top and tiny shorts in a new Instagram picture as she poses with rapper Wiz Khalifa backstage for Mike WiLL Made It's new music video for his song 23.

I think her VMA performance was amazing - It was awkward to watch but brilliantly executed....Also, I saw this cool piece on twerking through history - it's hilarioushttp://doyouremember.com/news/an-abridged-history-of-twerking

I think she has a good body...great legs but butt is flat. I didn't think her butt looked so bad but when I saw it closeup compared to Lada Gaga's butt, it was pretty unattractive. Overall tho I'd love to have her legs.
I don't get the reference to black culture. Is porn dancing Black? Is sticking her tongue out Black?
I think she wanted attention and she got it. I expect she's quite happy in spite of the criticism.
Check out the article I just posted.
