How many did it take?

To everybody else was she supposed to stay a “tween” forever.
Even Annette Funicello grew up from mousedom.
I needed shots!
It's the same with almost all of the child chick stars. Britney Spears, whatever.
They are portrayed as virginal, sweet little kids...until they reach the age of 18. In Cyrus' case, they got started early on her. The money machine says it's time to go slutty, because there's more money money money in it.
It's time for her first ex-boyfriend scandal. By the script. Follow the script, please.
Entertainment Tonight, People, Us, and Self Magazines....blah, blah, and blah again.
Went through the checkout lane at the grocery store yesterday, and there was one of the Olsen Twins on the covers. With her dark, sunken eyes, fat unsmiling lips, looking emaciated. Heroin Chic. What exactly is supposed to be attractive about that? I can't figure it out.
And then there are these Kardashian girls that are always on MSN.com and such. Aside from being somewhat attractive, what is their purpose, except that they have an expensive publicist shoving them down the publik's throats? Haven't figured that out yet.
Okay, they all got me to notice their nonsense. But they don't get my money.
BTTT
Miley has joined the Dark Side, or rather, her father has decided there’s many more dollars to be had down that twitchy road.
Can’t be much longer before the “sex tape” is revealed...
Her therapist and one extremely distressed gynecologist...
How many did it take?
“If things don’t change soon?”
Lol, was there ever any doubt that Miley Cyrus would follow this path, just like all her predecessors?
Watched the video. Mean, gross, and funny.
Hmmmmm...
Parents who think this is something new are not very wise.
The master business plan of these young performers are what I call the pulling a Brittany Spears plan, Or more appropriately perhaps the “B.S.” plan
Here is how the plan generally goes...
Step 1: Plan a nice clean goody two shoes initial act or presentation. Something that the parents can trust. And get their kids interested in it. After all its Disney how can Disney possibly be harmless??? And at first of course it is not.
Step 2: Once the child fan base is built up, and the parents let down their guard, the next step is taken. Perhaps a photo or two is released that is a bit more risque, or perhaps the songs will get a bit more “adult”. See some parents won’t take action and pull their kids out at this point because the press always rationalize it as not being “that bad” The kids push their parents because “all of their friends are OK with it”. And the parent and children are pulled further in the direction of total desensitization.
Step 3: The step 2 cycle can be repeated a few times until the performer is old enough to be “on her own”. The press of course aiding and abetting in the ploy all the way.
Step 4: The final step is that once the teen Children are old enough to make their own choices, and that they are separated to a great extent emotionally from their parents by their later teens. At this point then the real shift to the wicked can be done. We all know how far Brittany Spears went, and is sinking even further. And they will take their fan base with them. Parents with young children will to an extent pull away at this point but the fan base that consists of the teens will stick. The people who manage Miley Cyrus KNOW THIS. But by then they have peeled of a generation of mind numbed teens that have been made more desensitized to immorality.
In the end the fan base is built to do to things. Make money for and advance the vanity of the performer. Money and vanity are a dreadful combination.
So you might be wondering how can you protect them from this??? The way to protect them is to raise them in the way that is right, and have them read the Bible and other good books, rather than watch TV including but not limited to Disney. A parent has to control what their children see and hear and read. Not to mention the parent have to pick their childrens freinds.
And for God’s sake don’t let your teen children be alone with someone of the opposite sex ! That’s how babies out of wedlock happen.
If I remember correctly one was enough .......... prolly too graphic to post here!
I thought so too.
So why did they stay? Ticket price or not, I wouldn’t have sat through that, nor would I have allowed my children to sit through it.
Do you remember what happened with disney and the movie ‘powder’? I think that is when disney went downhill and walt disney has to be rolling in his grave.
Says you. As a middle aged father, any music she produces isn't for me. But she can act. The show is tolerable as kids shows go, partly due to her likability. She certainly has more talent than her dad ever had. Time will tell what sort of woman she grows up to be looks wise, but she doesn't match too may people's notion of unattractive.
Yes, but when your daughter is older and understands more about the situation, she will look back and think, “wow, Mom thought that was okay to take an 8-year-old to, so . . .” then she’ll have to draw her own conclusions about the parental judgment you exercised.
You are helping your daughter become an even bigger fan of Cyrus and it won’t be long before she’ll be old enough to pick up on and emulate this pop star.
There are very few “stars” who are worth holding up to little kids as any kind of object of fandom.
You’re surprised? Don’t all of these kid stars go on to trampdom once they hit puberty?
No...it was a link to a site where some poor mom was delusional...was that not clear?
