Campus has to take down wrecking ball sculpture due to Miley's video - 0 views

  •  
    Similarly to the Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' ban at a Scottish university an American university have removed a sculpture of a wrecking ball due to many parodies of Miley's now infamous 'wrecking ball' music video. Although it is noted that this was because of wear and tear of the structural cords.
  •  
    Too many people were making Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball parodies, so Grand Valley State University had to take down their sculpture. They are calling it a safety hazard. Do you think it is because they don't want the attention due to Miley's video drawn to their campus?

    This tumblr blog post contains images of various female artists who have appeared nude in their videos, noting the reaction to Miley Cyrus's "Wrecking Ball" has been different than to other artists' nudity, who have been called "artistic," "beautiful," "cute," and "sexy," while Cyrus gets shamed as "slutty."

Wrecking Ball Parody by Greg James. - 0 views

    British Radio One DJ creates a parody of Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball. An interesting way of subverting the message of Cyrus' and its use of nudity.
  •  
    Personally, I think Miley Cyrus' video is very powerful, and this parody reinforces my feelings about that. It's definitely interesting to see a guy in her position, I won't deny it. I understand where everyone is coming from with the complaints about her nudity, but in my opinion, there's a much deeper meaning behind it.

    As a huge Isosine fan, I was super excited when one of the articles we read posted the mash-up of Taylor Swift & Korn. So, I thought I'd share with all of you guys his newest release: "Little Wrecking Ball." Hope you guys enjoy it. :)

    A beautiful mash up between Miley and Mumford. Personally, this mashup makes Miley's song more authentic and powerful.

▶ Panic! At The Disco: Girls/Girls/Boys [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    I bookmarked this video as a comparison to Miley Cyrus's 'Wrecking Ball'.  In both, the lead singer sings to the camera and it is slowly revealed that they are completely nude.  Yet, there seems to be very little controversy over the Panic! At the Disco video whereas the media is still talking about Cyrus.

▶ Lady Gaga - "Applause" PARODY - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    Kind of late, but I was remembering the conversations we were having after watching the Monster Ball. We talked about Lady Gaga wanting the attention and constantly telling the crowd to cheer and scream for her. I think this parody of her song "Applause" touches on a lot of that and throws a little Madonna in the song as well. And it's pretty funny. Enjoy!
  •  
    This was amazing! I think it is so relevant so the point about authenticity. At first Gaga was considered new, original and exciting but now people have gotten bored of her. Maybe it's because she has lost her authenticity and originality or is it just because people can see through all her make up, clothing and persona, therefore diminishing her as an artist.

▶ Amanda Palmer - Ampersand [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    The music video for Amanda Palmer's 'Ampersand', and I thought of it as a comparison to Miley Cyrus's 'Wrecking Ball' - in both, the singers strip down to show vulnerability.  The difference is that Cyrus's is overly sexual, and Palmer's has a distinct lack of sexuality to her nakedness.

School Removes Wrecking Ball After Student Imitates Miley - 2 views

  •  
    I thought this video was pretty interesting! I believe it might be the principal who said they removed it for "safety" reasons, but I kind of don't believe that. At the end, a lot of students were around the area of the wrecking ball as if they were protesting it to come back or mocking its absence? haha I don't know! It was interesting!

Miley Cyrus: "I'd rather be naked in front of people than cry in front of people" - 0 views

  •  
    Here is a new interview with Miley Cyrus posted by the NY Daily News. In it, Miley shares information about the "Wrecking Ball" shoot. Interesting read, I'd say; contains details I didn't know about the making of the music video.
  •  
    I think this article is really interesting but at the same time it makes me view Miley Cyrus is a skeptical light. I feel that she's often contradicting herself, making all her shock and awe tactics seem, to me, to be a very childish and not very well thought out publicity stunt.
