I found this lyric video for Childish Gambino's (aka Donald Glover) new single 3005 extremely interesting because instead of your typical lyric video affair, it is set up as a online chat, with Gambino's lyrics being posted as the messages he's sending to the girl in the chat, who occasionally posts responses, and dances around to the music. It is an interesting and clever use of the lyric video

I guess Miley has some new photos out that are pretty risque.  This post just writes about how Miley is all about the controversy and getting people to talk about her.

I agree with the post, i guess is easy to say that Miley is always fame hungry and wants people to talk about her. But surely if people keep talking about her won't they just get bored.

One of my friends just posted this on Facebook. It talks about this new trend of younger girls posting videos on YouTube to get validation on being pretty or not. I didn't get thought the whole article because my laptop is going ot dye in like 3 minutes! But check it out, it's pretty interesting and the include some videos that the girls make. 

A college student turned in a blog post we read early in the term as his paper.

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."

This blog post talks about how Miley Cyrus is a genius because "she doesn't just talk like a bad girl, she behaves like one...if you're a musician, that's an incredible place to be."  Sinead O'Connor also wrote a letter to Miley about empowerment.

I feel Cyrus' response to this letter so shocking by talking about Sinead O'Connor having had mental illness and re-tweeting post O'Connor said whilst mentally ill. It appears O'Connor meant well and Cyrus' reaction was uncalled and down right mean. This however may be said for the shock value that it is been made clear Miley Cryrus is all about now!!

Zoe, I agree that Cyrus's response was awful--that rather than deal with issues, she taunts and resorts to attacking her for her mental illness, which especially bothers me.

This YouTube video ties into the discussion about discrimination and post-racial america. By watching this video it gives an amazing insight from the point of view of the youth and how gay marriage is perceived today. It would have been great to find a similar interview with children of the same age from 30 years ago and compare the opinions, just to see how perspectives have changed over the past decades. But what i found most intriguing is that some of the kids reactions where of confusion but when they were asked why they thought gay marriage was weird or 'crazy' they didn't actually know why. Is this because they don't understand what is going on, or is it because they actually think it weird? 

This post includes a file with all 150 of the complaints sent by viewers of MTV's VMAs about Miley Cryus's performance. These complaints focused on the sexuality of the performance and often express being "traumatized." Unfortunately for the complainers, the FCC does not fine or regulate cable television like it does broadcast television.

A posting about Beth Ditto.  After her interview with Hattersley, someone commented that she was promoting obesity.  Stewart writes about this comment.

Another post from Rolling Stone this time a recent photo shoot. Interesting to see visually how Cyrus is flaunting her new edgy, grunge look.

Wow, I didn't even know she was going to be on the cover. It's especially interesting how, in one of the photo captions, Cyrus herself points out that there was a double standard at the VMAs.

I don't know if you guys heard this (actually I might post it) But because of her performance at the VMAs, Vogue withdrew Miley's chance to be on their cover in... November/December because of how disgraceful it was.

Post on the best "We Can't Stop" Cyrus parodies

This blog post talks about Lady Gaga's video for "Born this Way."  Horn believes that while Lady Gaga establishes herself as Queen Elizabeth I in the opening of her video, Lady Gaga is an "anti" Queen Elizabeth I because of the gender issues between the two.

Miley Cyrus's new video for "23"

But... but I already posted this... :(

You did! And your post was much better than mine!

This post shares images from Project Unbreakable, an exhibit of photos that feature people holding signs with words their rapists said. The signs show a lot of similarity to Thicke's lyrics.

I did not post this necessarily for the article itself, but the comments. Look at the hatred towards her, as well as a few comments about her right to do as she pleases, because she is a grown up woman.

Thanks for the plethora of comments to read through, Neil. I had to stop reading them... I do find the original post interesting for it's title: Why are we concerned that she "violates" objects? Shouldn't people be what's inviolable?

Cyrus responded to O'Connor's open letter (see my last post), and the've escalated into an internet fight.

As we watched in class, i thought i'd re-post it so everyone can enjoy the brilliance that are Bratz! They are real people too!

Following our conversion on the post-racial america, Bethenny Frankel and and Omarosa have had a dispute in regard to Bethenny supposedly having better opportunities because she has 'white privilege'.  It's sad to see that this type of prejudice is still apparent in today's society, 

Interesting tumblr postings.  It seems that the author of this certain tumblr doesn't support Lady Gaga and other divas.  An interesting viewpoint, especially from Jennex's article.  

I read about this too while writing my position paper! I totally agree how it's kind of the total opposite of what Jennex said in his article!

I think this tumblr is brilliant - why should all gays be categorised into liking Gaga, like they advertise; they can see through the marketing machine,and they do not want to just settle for being a target market for artists to try and conquer as if the LGBT community is something that needs to be won!

I watched a video that someone else posted of the Pepsi commercial with Beyonce, Pink, and Britney Spears, and I thought it would be fun to post an older commercial that Britney did for comparison. I remembered that she did a variety of advertisements for them, but here's one of the first ones I found on Youtube.
