My morning routine involves waking up to a Top 40 morning show. Earlier this week, the show world premiered a new Miley Cyrus record titled “Can’t Be Tamed.” The audio was catchy even if it was overly synthesized and autotuned. Really, today, what isn’t? If anything, it sounded more like a Britney Spears record and we’re okay with that.
While a track like this gets a stamp of approval from us, we knew it was going to come down to the video treatment. Boy, were we right to hold off on our love. We were going to avoid the video altogether when we received an email from a friend – Subject: Why?? She attached this gem of a video.
The video is a little of a disaster. It’s as if the record should be referred to as “Can’t Be Tamed” featuring feathers. It’s essentially Miley Cyrus playing mini-Lady GaGa pretending to be a bird and using her wings to shield herself from camera flashes. All while she’s in a cage. Way profound, Miley.
Over sexualized teenagers recording music is essentially what Generation X grew up listening to. At least, there was something non-chalent about how Britney Spears did it. More often than not if she was rubbing her leg on another dancer’s chubby, for artistic sakes, she was dressed as a human.
Another thing I find a little disconcerting is that she’s starting to look like Aubrey O’Day’s younger sister.
Here’s the peek to the hot mess of the week, aside from the Lezzy country singer, but let’s focus:
