The last we heard from Miley Cyrus she was saying that her music wasn’t shallow like other pop music and that she wasn’t a sellout. She also dissed the show Glee despite never having watched it and said “Honestly, musicals? I just can’t.”
In an earlier interview, Miley said she wasn’t going to college anytime soon and mentioned that her grandmother went to college at 62, so she had plenty of time. She also defended her racy new song and video, Can’t Be Tamed, by explaining “My song is clearly about breaking free and being out of a cage and being able to be truly who you are.”
Miley is showing us who she (thinks she) is by giving us her version of aggressive sexuality. It’s frankly disturbing to watch from a 17 year-old. At a concert in Lisbon over the weekend she wore a skintight tiny gold leotard. I guess it’s nothing new for a teen performing artists, but there’s still something so wrong about it. She’s pole danced and donned short shorts in several performances, so it’s nothing new from Miley, either.
On Saturday, 17-year-old Miley Cyrus performed in Lisbon, Portugal for an excited crowd of kids, tweens and teens.
Her outfit? A skimpy, skintight olive-colored leotard plus studded leather jacket and black high-heeled peep toe boots.
The ensemble is an envelope-pushing follow-up to the $25,000 silver-scale corset and dress she wore in the music video for “Can’t Be Tamed,” which premiered earlier this month.
At the Lisbon show, she sang her song “Full Circle,” a paen to her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas. “It’s about two people,” she said. “They’re always gonna come back together no matter what anyone says or the bad people that try to keep you apart. Surprise surprise, it’s about a Jonas brother…you didn’t hear that.” Cyrus is currently dating her The Last Song costar Liam Hemsworth.

So is Miley back with Nick Jonas? Does she see him as her fallback boyfriend, the one who will always be there for her when she ends another relationship? We always got the feeling that Nick hurt her something fierce, but we also think that Miley is all about Liam Hemsworth, her current hunky Aussie boyfriend. The girl is 17, she has no clue. I guess I also thought I was different and tough sh*t when I was 17, but no one was around to pay attention to me except my tolerant parents. They kept me in check, unlike Miley’s mom and dad who think that they’re her friends first. That’s how you end up with a daughter with camel toe on stage telling the world that she’s different. No, she’s just 17 and Miley.
I’m sorry but I just can’t get over how ugly she is. Not that it would matter to me normally, but she’s just so smug and refferred to as pretty it’s annoying. Sorry once more (to everyone who thinks she’s pretty).
Fecund.
Since when did Marissa Tomei become one of her dancers?!
Oh my God, she looks like Chucky. Terrifying!
Hey teeth disturb me the most. Put those things away Mr.Ed!
Imagine how she’s going to act when she’s “legal”? Yikes.
Perhaps someday Miley will stun the world by creating a few songs that have nothing to do with: sex, penises, boning, wanting to bone someone, how she’s all grown up and ready to bone, etc. Perhaps she’ll perform one of those songs someday and not have to: writhe, use a stripper pole, orgasmically groan, flash camel-toe, etc.
But I’m not holding my breath, either, because it appears that’s all she’s got.
I actually don’t have an issue with the costume. I adore this shade of green.
I do suppose that I do have qualms about the fact that she was performing in that for tweens and kids. I’ve spoken at length before about the tired-ass pussy parade. Post Madonna, this mess has become rather prosaic. Of course, her justification for it will be that she’s growing up and asserting her feminity and womanhood – the shibboleth of all mariginally talented,, insipid pop starlets.
So, I guess here’s my problem: it’s not the outfit so much as here’s yet another snake salesman selling self-esteem as sex to young girls.
(That was some damn good alliteration.)
the ugly comments are confusing. she has gorgeous eyes & hair (even if they’re extensions). yes her mouth is kinda tragic, but is she ugly overall? umm.
that said, she & beyonce need to realize their legs are not their best feature & cover them up a bit. my eyes immediately go to her average looking legs & flat ass. if you’re going to rock the bare legs costume, they need to be like…tina turner fabulous.
Yeah, the pussy parade is getting tired. I was watching some Shania Twain and Celine Dion, and a whole pile of other singers of different genres, and you know, it was just as enjoyable, if not more so, to listen to them sing great songs without the sexay. It’s waaaay overdone. Looks silly now. But maybe it’s a generational thing. When I was a kid, I thought Madonna was the greatest. Now, I’m like, ok, lady, I get it.
she actually dated Nick, not Joe. Joe’s the douche that dated Swifty and dumped her over the phone (for Camilla Belle supposedly).
I can’t believe I know this crap.
Yeah, Nick’s the one that saw that camel-toe up close and personal. Yuck to me for even saying it.
There was something different about Madge though. She always had a lot of layers, think Lucky Star and 80’s Madonna, Like a Virgin…. She was completely covered. 90’s Madonnna when she was a full grown Woman is a different story. Miley is taking a page from the Britney book….. which is give it all away at 16, 17 years old….. and look where that got Brit Brit. Where as, Madge is in complete control of her image and has never lost her flippin mind, at least not in public, Britney I don’t care what anyone says, continues to look like a train wreck. MILEY YOU ARE STILL A BABY, get over it. Wait a couple years. You are turning people off!!!
are those veneers of what?
she could chew her way out of concrete.
Dear Lord. She is so unbelievably inappropriate. And frankly, not attractive at all. She is 17 going on 45. Yuck.
urgh, really..
its a bit errrrrrr but cool kinda…….
i saw the camel-toe pics on the superficial, & i nearly pissed myself laughing at the article. aside from that, miley tries way too hard. it’s starting to become aggravating, to be honest.
While I agree that the olive color is gorgeous, it’s the leotard-camel toe that is the turn-off. Even a catsuit like that thing J.Lo had on New Years Eve would look better than this. She should be thinking more like Gwen Stefani than Madonna at this point. Gwen has style with attitude and can use it to cover up but still look awesome if she wants.
And yes, she has a skinny little teenager body with no curves, because she’s still a skinny little TEENAGER. Her wardrobe people need to find a better way to finesse her image than this.
seriously, do her parents even bother to check in to see what she’s doing anymore? it’s like she’s just running wild these days. if miley were wearing a leotard in a dance recital that would be one thing, but this is meant solely to titillate. but then again she can;t sing and seems kind of dumb, so i guess she has her camel toe to fall back on.
second to last pic she reminds me of Carmen Electra.
It’s her 2 front teeth that bother me most. You would think with the money she (unfortunately)has, she would get them straightened.
I used to hear her music all the time when I was a nanny. So, I do want to point one thing out that everyone seems to be reporting incorrectly. The “new” song she sang about the Jonas boy isn’t new at all. It was on her breakout album maybe three years ago.
I have no idea why she would suddenly announce to the crowd that the song was about her ex though. But, she’s 17. She probably thinks it makes her look “mature” to act like her boy problems are meaningful.
Anyway, I don’t hate Miley. I think her hair looks great and I will at least give her credit for singing live; screechy, out of breath and barely in tune though she may be.
Meh, she’s 17. Very few people are totally likable at that age.
Sorry but there was not “something different” about Madonna. She was a not-that-good pop singer who showed that prancing around nearly naked was a good way to cover up her mediocrity. It wasn’t self-esteem, it wasn’t empowerment, it was just the lowest common denominator: sex sells.
Seems Toothy Cyrus is learning that lesson herself.
What would be more shocking is if artists like Gaga, Rihanna and Miley actually WORE pants! That would be eye catching and shocking!
No pants is a little overdone these days 😉
@ Blahblah: LOL! & I couldn’t agree more.
Miley is fugly and has no substance. No wonder she’s such a success in this country. That’s what we seem to love… *eye roll*
Oh, and – that olive green is tres FUG, but I have major issues with any shade of green. I also want to send her a diflucan, because it looks like she’s gonna need it…
I have also wonder why her parents did not get that girl a set of braces when she was 12.
They had the money.
And lord knows she needed them.
It is a shame that now Miley will have a mouth full of veneers, at triple the cost, that the braces would have been.
What I adore about being old as dirt… is to see these idiot 17 yr old girls thinking they are cutting edge. Fully believing that are soooo much smarter than the old people. (anyone over 25)
She will be dang lucky if she can still get hired, for anything, by the time she is 20.
And for Madonna.
Do you think she regrets that SEX book she did? How does her new uptight British butt, explain that very graphic book to the teenage daughter she is raising.
@ViktoryGin—you nailed it!
viktorygin – yes, very nice alliteration.
“it’s not the outfit so much as here’s yet another snake salesman selling self-esteem as sex to young girls” – amen.
i dont think, all else aside, being a sexual 17 year old girl is so bad, it’s quite normal at that age – but not so much the having been doing it for several years already and selling it and portraying it as power and self esteem for young girls (altho miley is hardly solely to blame for that one)
altho this is completely unrelated, but it pisses me off that andre leon talley is ok with vogue’s anna and co. given how large he is when it seems that all females that get within 100 yards of vogue’s offices must be underweight.
@all the peeps saying sex sells, duh!
Plzzzzz! Sex C-A-N sell, but most likely, you still need good hooks to go with sex to actually sell concert tickets (which is where singers make most of their money). Otherwise, there would be whole lot more crappy singers out there making money by flashing some flesh.
Madonna was not a good singer in technical terms, but boy could she sell records and tickets.
BTW, on the person who mentioned Shania Twain as an example of good taste… Hahahahahahahah
hahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahaha
That’s a good one. That woman shot to fame by adroiting mixing sex and catchy hooks… just like Madonna.
Those veneers are like 2 meter long, lmao
I agree, JJ. If she was actually talented, she wouldn’t need the skank-wear or cliched lyrics. I wish Christina Aguilera would realize that she doesn’t have to try so hard, because she can actually sing.
This is torture. Everything Miley does is low hanging fruit to ridicule. I really do hope there is someone standing at the pearly gates with a clipboard wanting to ask Billy Ray and Trish a few questions; They did this little hillbilly girl wrong!
*sigh* Ok, I hate to sound like I’m actually defending her again, but…have you guys seen the bathing suits teen girls wear lately? She’s got yards more material on than most of the people in her audience wear out in public to the beach, their friend’s pool, even their church group car washes. So, while I think she should put some damn pants on when singing for 12 yr old girls, it could be alot worse…
It’d just be sort of refreshing to see this girl take the stage dressed like a semi-normal 17 year old, grab the mic like she’s a real singer and proceed to belt out a few tunes that someone might actually remember after they’re over. But I guess that’s not happening, so she’s going to focus on reminding everyone where her (now nearly legal!) vagina is located instead.
It’s a bad idea, not only because she doesn’t do “nympho” very well but also because it’s hard to imagine her now almost high school aged fan base is going to eagerly embrace this new grinding, writhing, booty-shaking Miley the same way they did with her “Hannah Montana” character.
shes another one that never wears pants…
Somehow I think Madonna will regret all the crazy things she did in the past when her daughter starts dating or is fully in the eye of the hurricane called “Teenager”. Miley will experience the same thing one day. Karma has a nasty habit of biting one in the backside when you least expect it.
As long as they’re not running around looking like prostitutes and sniffing coke in some bathroom of an LA nightclub, I say, let the 17 year olds wear what they like and the tweens like who they like. As far as role models go, they could do a hell of a lot worse.
I am just too damn old to have an opinion more elaborate than that on this girl, and not yet old enough to give a real f-ck about the implications of generational differences, maybe. I’m claiming apathy, this time.
GUYS! it’s an honest mistake… she obviously could not locate the booty shorts the wardrobe team picked out for her. sheesh.
She’s 17…Get over it! Soon she’ll be 18 and no one will make a big deal about it.
Is it just me, or isn’t a leotard *supposed to* be skintight?
This is the kind of crap that is going to be make it hell on earth for me when my daughter gets to the age where she will be wanting to wear this sh!t. I’m beginning to think Taylor Swift is the only pop star that is appropriate for teens anymore. It’s depressing to think what’s ahead.
@ViktoryGin. Amen to every thing you said and a high-five for the awesome alliteration. 🙂
To me at least, there’s a big difference between wearing a bathing suit at the pool, and wearing this while performing on stage.
I get that she thinks she’s so hot and edgy, but it all comes across a bit desperate for attention, if you ask me. If this is how she wants to sell herself, then that’s how people are going to treat her. And someday she’ll be pulling a Megan Fox and whining that no one ever sees past the T&A.
MaiGirl, I totally agree about Christina Agulera. She’s one of the few pop stars who can REALLY sing, but she’s too concerned with image and trying to push boundaries. Just sing, dammit!
Approximately three percent of people her age like her. I don’t know where she thinks she’s going with this, but she’s ostracizing her demographic and frankly, the demographic is all she has.
Plus she’s super skanky and if I had a child I wouldn’t even let said child listen to her music, let alone go to her concert. I think at this point that a heavy metal show would be more appropriate for kids than she is.
What the hell? Disturbing because she’s 17?
In a few months when she turns 18, you’ll all be drooling over her and talking about wanting to screw her.
What a bunch of hypocrites.
One last comment before I leave. You did the same thing to Brittney. You trashed her & tore her to shreds when the inevitable occurred. By that I mean that everyone grows up. Making the transition from Lollipops to Perfume is a treacherous adventure. From what is read, Miley needs to toughen her skin & lean on her family for the next few years, unless she be driven down the same path as Beautiful Brittney.
Should have shown the Camel Toe
Why are all you people judging her, when it is the older people who set the standards, Beyonce wears the same thing but do you people complain, Not so many years ago lady marm, came out and those girls, Pink, Christina, & the rest of them wore skimpy stuff. Not to mention Madonna, the list goes on. Miley is only six months away from her 18th birthday. You all complain about this but have you ever complained about the leotards gymnasts wear, or what balarina’s wear, how about the clothes on dancing with the stars, she is a preformer just like them, Go Miley! it is BS how it is okay for a grown woman to walk around like that all the time and then have the chipmunks do her song and all these parents get upset with you for one show, please that is all Beyonce ever wears in videos. Besides the ones who are complaining are the ones that are so strict thier kids are sneeking out windows or changing clothes when they get to school or they don’t have kids at all and have no room to talk.
To bad more teen and tween stars do not become role models like the Olsen twins who are both going to college and really don’t need to. These teen and tween stars deciding not to go to college even if they don’t need to sends the wrong message to their fans. If the truth be told most probably don’t have the grades to get into any college other than a community college, but that would be better than no college at all.
You who criticize and talk so ugly about what Miley looks like….I wonder what you look like? You’re probably fat, toothless or have such low self esteem that you criticize anyone you can…..you type people are pathetic.
I wish Disney would be more selective about who they recruit as their representitives, to the kids of this planet. They need to be focusing on selecting kids that want to make a postive movement for other kids. The ones being selected by Disney, to represent Disney, are instead becoming alcohol/drug addicts, pushing early sex, and poor choices. Miley should consider taking time to further her future and education. Hopefully she has someone to manage her finances and life decisions, outside of her Dad and Mom who are riding on her coat-tails, or should I say her crotch tail.
Now that she shown everybody she cant sing, has a deep smokers voice, not attractive ….what’s next…..she will get knocked up to show she is a adult at 17. Her parents will be so proud of her.
What makes any of this worth opine?
When she reaches the legal age to do so, she just needs to do a playboy spread and hopefully get the whole “sex sells” things out of her system.
Right now she just appears to be another teeny bob heading for a crash and burn because she doesn’t have enough real talent to keep her career afloat…think Britney.
@Honey:
We complain about what Miley wears because she is/was specifically marketed toward younger/tween girls. And as a role model to these young girls, they, in turn, want to emulate Miley. So yes, I DO have a problem with her scantily-clad fashion choices, whereas, Beyonce et al are marketed toward an older audience–that is the difference.
Why not pick something that covers a little more and is more age-appropriate and let the singing (if you can call it that) be the highlight?
Even though she looks like a maniacal, deranged chipmunk in some of the photos, she does have beautiful eyes.
i think everybody should stop hating on miley cyrus. she is a beautiful girl with a great body. she looks great in the green leotard. if she wants to show off her camel toe i am all for it.
I think this concert was called Rio in Lisbon or something like that. I’m no Miley apologizer and I think she’s growing up way too fast in the wrong direction, but I think a ton of clothing in anything with the word “Rio” in it would have been seen as a bit puritancial…
Yep…next it will be the nightclub scene for Miley, alcohol, drugs and a sex tape. She will have then completed the perfomers circle and can hang out with Lindsey Lohan.
She is a disgrace to Disney – I’m glad I do not have teens, especially girls – I abhor that she thinks she is a good role model for todays “sex sells” society – a little more morals and values are needed – we already have enough “crap” to contend with. Her parents should be ashamed. Obviously when her father was called Cyrus the virus the public was not informed that is was a spreadable disease for which there is no cure. This Kentucky family is totally absent of family values unlike most Kentuckians.
I’d read all these comments but I’m sure they’re incredibly vapid and outrageous, given the subject is still pretty much a child.
All I’m going to say is – that’s not a catsuit.
Carry on.
I don’t get it. The day she turns 18, is everyone going to suddenly be okay with her as a person and a singer? I don’t know about you, but just turning a certain age doesn’t make you mature all of the sudden, some people know who they are long before then.
If she let her career at age 13 define who she is at 17, almost 18, she would never have broken out into the kind of music she wants to do. Yes, her fans first knew of her as the child-star Hannah Montana, but she isn’t Hannah Montana any more, or almost anyways. She is Miley Cyrus, she always has been, she always will be.
People do you really think she gives three shits about what you think of her hair, teeth, camel toe etc? I think not!! If you all are so perfect where is a pic of you in a leotard with your shiny “normal” teeth, camel toe and long sexy legs? Please take a look in the mirror I bet you will be sadened by what you see.
Ok so my issue with Miley isn’t so much that she is 17 but the fact still remains that her base fans are young impressionable girls. I would never allow any child of mine whether 17 or 27 to prance around in a thong leotard with her tooshie hanging out of her jeans. Its tasteless and quite gross. You want to throw out names just because Beyonce did it does not mean Miley should. What about singers like Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain, Celine Dion etc? They are gorgeous women who never had to bear anything to gain attention or acceptance. I don’t remember stripper poles in any of their videos or tour shows.
