Just Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus pole dancing at Teen Choice Awards (photos & video), did it cross the line?

Miley Cyrus is known to cause drama with photos and video, but her pole dancing at the Teen Choice Awards may just take the cake or the ice cream cone. Miley was performing her song “Party in the USA” at the Teen Choice Awards and her performance was going well, not too provocative until she jumped on an Ice cream cart. Once on top the cart she started pole dancing a little.

Miley was dancing on a stripper pole disguised as a Ice Cream truck and her performance has crossed the line in the eyes of many. The debate has now started. Should 16 year old Miley Cyrus be pole dancing somewhat like a stripper on national television? Many are now question why Miley parents would approve such a provocative and suggestive dance routine.

After Miley’s performance, some are comparing Cyrus to Britney Spears. Miley has taken the comparison as a compliment. She said on Twitter “For all the people calling me the “next Britney” THANK U. I couldn’t ask for a better compliment ”

In 2008 Miley Cyrus did a photo shoot for Vanity Fair magazine. The pictures were taken by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. The photos appeared to show Miley nude only covered by a sheet. Although the photos were tastefully done Miley had to apologize. She released a statement to People magazine that said “My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed.”

The Disney Channel also released a statement denouncing the Leibovitz photos. The statement read in part “Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines.”

What a difference a year makes. Miley was embarrassed for taking the semi-nude photos for Vanity Fair, but dancing on a stripper pole at the Teen Choice Awards is okay?

We presume an adult was the one who choreographed Miley’s dance routine. Is the choreographer to blame, Miley or her parents?
