Miley Cyrus, famed pop diva and daughter of Billy Ray, recently released her new album containing the song "We Can't Stop." While song lyricists can't determine if this song is about an immoral party lifestyle or someone's battle with irritable bowel syndrome, one thing does remain clear. Miley is deevolving. Coming from a strong religious background and performing on a PG level, Miley has been reported to loosen her morals with each song she writes. Here is where she is currently in her ethical standings.
"To my homegirls here with the big butts
Shaking it like we at a strip club
Remember only God can judge us
Forget the haters cause somebody loves ya
And everyone in line in the bathroom"
Notice that her admission that large rumped females have the same rhythm as an exotic dancer is followed by a request to the God of Jacob and Abraham to cast judgement down on her. This confession shows us that Miley is still fighting her inner demons to stay innocent within the music business. We know from the progression of her songs that she is slipping toward PG-13 crowd.
Take a look at Miley's previous songs early in her career. Notice that her inklings toward ill conformity.
" I throw my hands up, playing my song
The butterflies fly away,
Waving my hands like yea
Corporately embezzling millions from
Fake non-profit ventures."
It is very subtle, but it is the tip of the iceberg of a musical styling that has followed in the foot steps of Pink, Jessica Simpson, Amadeus Mozart, Rihanna, The Friar Community Band and Britney Spears.
If we take her deevolution of musical kid friendliness and apply it to a pop star algorithim of common lyrics we have a forecast of what her next song will look like in 10 years. She actually just reads the script to Boondock Saints. We would continue the analysis, but Miley gets very pro-Nazi in her later songs and it makes us uncomfortable.
Look how she mocks poodles with her hair. |
What can we attribute to this slide into moral decay? Perhaps it was the pressures of balancing a conservative household with the diva lifestyle. Maybe it is the trends of today's internet society infringing on Judeo-Christian beliefs. Most likely it is because Miley Cyrus bathes in money daily feeding off the souls of impressionable tweens. Whatever the case may be, our hearts break as another foundation of values gets Jay-Z'd right in the face. We are praying for a stop gap to this epidemic.
