Is it just a wrecking ball or is Miley wrecking her reputation?

     ABC News reports Miley’s dramatic break down during her performance of her hit “Wrecking Ball” at the iHeartradio festival in Las Angeles. Tears rolled down her cheeks taking mascara with them creating black lines, Miley rushed to find her mom offstage and sought solace whilst crying. The populous believes that the origins of this song are rooted in her recent break up with fiancé, Liam Hemsworth. ABC News also commented on her scandalous music video for “Wrecking Ball” and her even more provocative performance at the recent music awards show. Liam and Miley had been dating since 2009 and their relationship appeared to be on the rocks by 2012.

            The histrionic lives of celebrities never seemed to catch my attention throughout the first 17 years of my life, and today is no difference mind you. This article appeared to be worth my time because I had been noticing how awful the press is toward Miley and no one besides a mass murder deserves that type of attention.

I remember when she had that god-awful show on Disney channel that I watched as a guilty pleasure because there was a really cute guy in it, and I couldn’t understand how a twelve-year-old girl had caused such a huge scandal, I seemed to forget that famous people age.

 I then watched her video of the song “Wrecking ball” and realized what was making people so upset. Miley is actually conveying emotion through this video and how ever cheesy this may sound, the video actually makes the viewer understand her pain. Under no circumstance would I show the video to a person under the age of 13, but Miley is not making this video for that audience she is making it to connect with people who have given boys everything and gotten nothing in return. By watching this video it was easy for me to see how hard it would be for her to sing a song about her boyfriend of four years without breaking down. This goes to show that even the most know people are still gravely misunderstood. It also goes to show how messed up our government is when the top headline is about a breakup not about the innumerable crisis in the world.
