"We can't stop. We won't stop!"
Yes, these are the lyrics to the hit Miley Cyrus preformed last weekend on the VMAs, but they might as well be a description of the public reaction too! Yeah, we just can't stop talking about Miley's performance! Okay, so obviously I have my opinions, but looks like everyone else does too. So, for your satisfaction, I've condensed the most popular reactions into three groups as well as one example from each category that has gone viral! So here we go, when it comes to Miley, you can shame her, defend her or laugh with her:
Reaction #1: Shame Her
Yeah, shame is a strong word. But, for some it really rings true! This blog, written as a letter from a twenty-something to Mileyherself, is a great example of this. It describes how Miley's actions- since she's in the spotlight- leads to more attention. But those same actions by an everyday person lead to sometimes tragic results. Its a good read, and a logical response to a crazy performance!
Reaction #2: Defend Her, Sorta
This almost defense of Miley's actions. I guess it is more of a call-out of people being hypocritical in what they accept and what they don't. For example, if you've ever seen the music video "Blurred Lines" - the song that Miley was singing with RobinThicke, you'd know that the women in that video wear LESS clothes than Miley was wearing on stage. Hard to believe, right? Yet, the reaction to Miley was far more vicious.
Reaction #3: Laugh with Her
Yeah, sometimes you just need to laugh. And social media's made sure that you can do that with Miley! Here's my favoriteblog from this category, that shows Miley pulling her move on just about every popular internet meme there is!
What was YOUR reaction to Sunday's performance?
