Terry thinks he's subversive. He's all about taking pictures of skinny white women in dingy places on polaroids.
Right...

Song is not bad, the video is just bizarre though.

Also, I still think she was way more attractive back when she was normal doing party in the USA. I know she's trying to be all hip and sexy, but she just looks gross.

I like what how Mike Will talks about her

"The label set up the session and I was just thinking we were going to knock out that one song [We Can't Stop] and when we got to the studio I saw how strong her voice was and I just saw how cool she was," he tells me on the phone from LA. "I saw how talented she was so I hit up the label and asked for a couple more days with her to see what else we could do. I was like 'okay, you sold me, I'm officially a Miley Cyrus fan'. Before, I knew about her music and shit, but I wasn't somebody who was bumping Miley Cyrus. But when she was cutting these songs I realised that with that voice she could be a person that goes down in history. She could be a great."

This problem of changing people's perceptions is something she's never fully going to overcome, recons Mike Will: "People are opinionated and when we hear about a person that's that young and has had that amount of success on TV for playing whatever character, they're always going to feel like they know you in some sort of way. People are always going to have an opinion as to who they think Miley Cyrus is." One of the reasons he continued to work with her is because she's not "trying to be a puppet". "If she was trying to be somebody who's acting a role or trying to be cool, then I wouldn't stand beside that," he explains. "She's not scared to try anything and she's not going to pigeon-hole herself. She isn't like 'hey Mike, can you make me something urban and cool', it just naturally comes out."

other vid Mike Will talking about Miley

and pharrell


has 1 person ever had so many different opinions from people? You have people who will actually see this with an open mind and draw their conclusions from that. You have the people who just hate her because she's okay with her body or whatever and think that for some reason that is the worst thing an almost 21 year old woman could ever do. You have the people who go hurr she has short hair she looks like a boy

oh wow you noticed her hair that she's had for over a year now good for you have a cookie

inb4 avatar quote leave miley alone typical unoriginal responses


"I think people forget what it feels like to be 20," she said in a recent interview. "People just evolve and that's all that's happened to me. But people think a mad scientist somehow cooked up this potion and turned me in to a different human, which it wasn't. All I did was get a haircut and buy some clothes and everyone thinks that I am made into a robot that changes with what's popular every 10 years."

Catchy tune.

Shitty image she's trying to portray.

Silly video but a lot of music videos are silly.

What happened to this?

you see she did this thing where she cut her hair and she's also older now

you probably never heard of it

I liked the video, screw the haters. Cyrus is pretty damn hot in it.


Where do you think he got his start? You're just showing me more recent work.

You said he's all about taking pictures of skinny white women in dingy places on polaroids. He proved you wrong by showing some pretty great pictures of not skinny white women. Doesn't matter where he got his start.

lol at her being a sex icon/symbol. A woman like Monica Bellucci could pull that off better while wearing a burka than a naked Miley Cyrus ever could.

He was, now he's just some mainstream photog who is overrated and got past being outed as someone who sexually harasses his subjects because "everyone in fashion is a perv." Keep up.
 
guys remember like 2 years ago when someone accused miley cyrus of being fat (which of course she wasnt even close to) and she went on twitter and said a bunch of shit like "just because your thighs touch doesnt mean youre fat" and then she went out and lost like 50 pounds
 
Well, I'm a guy so I guess I enjoyed the t&a and the porn star poses, but man there's such an air of desperation about what she's doing now.

And trying to copy the Sinead O'Connor video with the short hair and the close up on the teary, emotional face. That annoyed me. She looked kind of obnoxious and it felt fake in comparison to the original.

I really can't keep up, you're all over the place. This was about the skinny white women, remember?

that was in 2009

over 4 years ago

and it was jiggle not touch

"I just jiggled my thighs and they shook on their own for 3 mississipis. No more late night lucky charms.

"Talk all you want. i have my flaws. im a normal girl theres things about my body i would change but stop with calling me f*t in post. i dont...even like the word," she posted. "oh and ps if your thighs don't jiggle go see a doctor. thanks. :)"

Fashion models breh. Duh. Anyway not my fault some people don't know about this dude can't read my post well enough to know the context.

Yeah of course I know about the fashion models. What does that have to do with any allegations of sexual harassment? You completely derailed the discussion.
 
devo stop throwing shade, i'm pretty impressed with Miley's Singles and the range of styles she can do. She's more interesting then britney and christina.

Talking about the gross director is derailing. Lol. K.

I didn't know it gives you carte blanche to win any argument or make completely incorrect assertions.


-"Richardson is all about taking pictures of skinny white women"

- *Someone shows you some pretty great pictures of non-"skinny white women" and I agree*

-"But sexual harassment allegations"

-"How is that relevant to the discussion?"



Yeah....

Considering how much she fucked up the last few months I'm quite surprised by the song and videoclip. They're very well made and (using pop's low standards) they seem quite meaningful too.

How is this dude's work and typical portrayal of people/women relate to the video? How does talking about a subject you actually know about work with people who are clueless? Not very well I guess.

Are you seriously trying to analyze a pop video and its director? It's got a couple of decent metaphors, plenty of semi-nudity and a wrecking ball breaking shit up. Still better than most pop videos.

What? No, I'm saying this is more his thing than her thing. Why this is lost on you I haven't a clue.

Cyrus has been begging for attention for months now. It is obvious that she wanted to do something controversial and I wouldn't be surprised at all if she insisted to add as much nudity as possible. After all you've seen from her are you seriously trying to imply that Cyrus was forced to do that or something? Seriously?

He's a pretty disgusting guy known for sexual harassment of underaged models. Why cant we analyze a guy who is known to be a creep and an overrated artist at that? Everything she's doing in the video is very Richardson, didn't know he had directed the video, but I totally see it now.

Also, I've probably seen his penis more times than any other "celebrity". Thanks oldterry.tumblr

I'm talking about the things I know. I don't know about Richardson's history with sexual harassment or if he has been convicted of any crime. What I do know is that Cyrus did a photoshoot for him a month ago and she obviously liked him enough to let him direct her video. Devolution is trying to make her look like a victim which is bullshit. She's not some helpless girl that needs protection.

You mean you didn't imply Richardson pushed the idea of nudity? You're being cryptic, jump from one subject to another and then accuse me of making shit up. You know what, screw it I'm done with the discussion.

I've been talking about the director being a sleezeball. Always has been. Nowhere did I say "omg Miley is being victimized the poor girl." Jesus. Stop projecting shit.

So, your posts had nothing to do with the videoclip or the skinny white females or any discussion here and your sole purpose from the beginning was to tell us that the director is a sleezeball and that you don't like him. OK, it's my fault for thinking your comments were relevant in any way. Bye.

Fuck off Miley and Terry Richardson.

That was a really good song, thank you devo.


power of getting people MAD for YEARS

since she was 15 on vanity fair


I am pretty sure she paid for this video btw. That is why it isn't expensive looking and stuff and why there is no product placement.

She got funding for the WCS video but she didn't tell RCA how it was going to be. There was no shot list for that video it was just her and Diane Martell filming lots of stuff. The only set shots were the beats and eos lip balm of course


Miley is rich as fuck btw and her team doesn't really tell her what to do

Miley Cyrus: Haters Keep Me Motivated


look, Miley needs some refocusing on what music she's good at, and right now she's doing music that she isnt good at.

It's almost like the director is a part of the thread and relevant to the discussion and seems like you cannot handle discussing. However the truth is the director is 100% relevant to the discussion and devo should be allowed to criticize him as much as she wants to
