Miley Cyrus or Elvis Presley's hips: Has the music industry really changed much?

Miley Cyrus naked or Elvis Presley’s hips: Has the music industry really changed much?

     No one doubts that her performance at the VMA's was shocking. Miley sang "Blured Lines" with singer Robin Thicke. This article looks at some of the reactions from some of the biggest pop icons like Sir Elton John and Britney Spears.

     My reaction to the whole situation was one of disgust. Watching Miley, who is someone who is looked up to by the younger generation, present herself in a raunchy, sexualized way, is not good. Young females should not be looking at her and thinking, “This what I should do to be popular.” She is only furthering the objectification of women as sexual objects that are only there to fulfill a mans fantasies  The part that saddened me the most was that, while everyone was up in arms about her, almost no one was placing equal blame and/or criticism on Robin Thicke. Robin's song glorifies sexual abuse and Miley is only adding to that stereotype. Miley needs to come to the realization that she doesn't have to twerk or swing on a wrecking ball naked to get attention. Instead she could be doing things that benefit humanity.
