    How authentic is she when she keeps switching up her style of music, etc.?

    Also, lmao at bow wow. Ha ha ha !

    • fgh says:

      She’s what, 25? When are you supposed to change and evolve if not at this age? It would be sad if she stayed the same as she was 3-4 years ago.

      • hmm says:

        most artist’s evolve. I still don’t understand how she was culture-vulturing black music before if you actually listen to her music.

      • me says:

        Is she “evolving though”? So going from “black music” to “lazy pop” is evolution?

      • Merritt says:

        There is a difference between evolving as a singer and exploiting another culture for money.

      • Bridget says:

        Is it evolving when you go backwards? What’s feeling weird to me is this return to her old “nice girl” image.

      • I don’t think it’s evolving. I think it’s reinventing to stay relevant.

    • Pixelated says:

      Have y’all heard her unplugged sessions? If she could just release an album of that, I’d love it. This song is boring and sounds like something that would be played at Hollister or Abercrombie.

  2. Sigh... says:

    #bowwowchallenge = further proof how ppl on Twitter are sooooo much more creative/entertaining than most of HW and what it belches out

  3. Bridget says:

    That Bow Wow story killed me.

  4. effy says:

    Her voice is so nasal, it’s awful! I’ll never understand how people like her singing…

    • lisa says:

      all i hear is nose singing

    • minx says:

      I can’t stand her singing. She does look cute in these pictures, though.

    • vespernite says:

      Yup! Shittiest voice out there followed by Madonna, Britney, Lana Del Rey, Noah Cyrus. I wish Miley would just disappear and just become a Mrs. Hemsworth too.

    • QQ says:

      YOOOOOO THANK YOU I literally compare her voice to a Lot Lizard that smokes too many cigarretes

  5. Aarika says:

    The #bowwowchallenge is the best thing ever. Oh God freaking Bow Wow.

  6. mar_time says:

    I personally really like the song, maybe I’m into “lazy pop” 🤷🏻‍♀️

  7. slowsnow says:

    So Lana del Rey believes in happiness and shed her morbid hipster persona, this one is no longer an edgy, gender-fluid weed smoker and became a nice, tall (almost) blonde cup of boring.

    They’re the future Madonna’s (at least Lana, Miley not so sure): a few good years and we’ll be listening to the rest of their future non-descript music and huge egos until the end of time.

  8. Chaucer says:

    I would like her music so much more if she could pronounce ‘s’ instead of ‘sh’. Every freaking song and when she talks. is it a lisp? A retainer thing? I have no idea. But I wish she would stop.

    • slowsnow says:

      So true.
      But have you noticed Brad Pitt does the same thing?
      I was showing the awful Legends of a Fall to my daughter the other day – we gave up when the native-american girl decided not to study to “wait” for his character (!!!), when I noticed it.
      It’s really distracting. And his baby-face-ooooopsie expression.

    • RuddyZooKeeper says:

      She had an insane overbite as a kid — you can see her major orthodontic hardware in Hannah Montana episodes. She wore that metal for a very long time to correct the problem, as much as mouth / jaw issues CAN be corrected. I’d say it’s a carryover from that. I don’t think it’s a conscious affectation to sound a certain way. It’s just the way her mouth is after the years of orthodontic work.

  9. Sam says:

    Remember when Hole released their Hollywoodified album Celebrity Skin and the cleaned up Courtney Love sang the song Malibu. Is there a prerequisite for drugged up people to sing about Malibu when they are clean?
    Not in any way comparing Miley’s weed to Courtney’s heroine, just thought it was an interesting correlation.

    • AmunetMaat says:

      OMG do I remember that. I was in high school at the time and really liked Hole despite it not being the type of music that black urban girls were supposed to listen to. I actually liked the Malibu song to in a way.

  10. tw says:

    3 words. GET IT KOURTNEY.

  11. Ramona Q. says:

    Anyone else watching The Voice this season? I love Alicia Keys. She is luminous.

  12. BooRadley says:

    Yes art is about life and life is about change, but what in your flying f*** is that garbage????

  13. Me Three says:

    Have to say the few times I caught her on The Voice, I found myself liking Miley. Her music? Not so much.

  14. QQ says:

    If you all live for Bow Wow Challenge SEEK Desus and Mero shpw on Vice from Yesterday, They SLANDERED him, BUT they slander him in nearly Monthly Basis, like a check in Bodaga Boys Podcast.. Is Just Flame Glory

  15. Snazzy says:

    I didn’t even get through the whole thing. That song is terrible

  16. Sara says:

    I don’t know which is worse- the song, her hair, or the fact that the video looks like a Jenn Aniston perfume commercial…

  17. NorthernLala says:

    So boring. So disappointed. The video boringly self-centered too. She can do better.

  18. NoKiddingCats says:

    This gets a resounding” Meh” from me. She was more interesting in her twerking days…

  19. robyn says:

    I like the scenery and her toned-down more “wholesome” look. A little too Britney Spears from very long ago though. Somehow Miley’s real and powerful voice didn’t come through in this video.

  20. Guesting says:

    He needs to just go ahead and roll with it and post along with Bow Wow challenge.

  21. Turtle says:

    Jay-Z trademarked a specific shade of blue with Pantone a decade ago. I wonder if that’s the only shade of blue that Blue Ivy is allowed to wear. You gotta golf-clap that kind of entrepreneurial vision.
