Controversial music videos - 2

Miley Cyrus - We can't stop


'We can't stop' was the lead song from Miley's album 'Bangerz' which was released June 3rd, 2013. Originally Miley was seen as a young role model of America, speaking out against drug use, etc. However this song is a pop/R&B song, talking about a house party and using recreational drugs. Ironic as just a few years she seemed to be totally against what now she seems to be interested in. The music video was directed by Diane martel, (who also directed Thicke's controversial video) which depicts an ongoing house party, doing unusual things. This is what creates the controversy, as we see Miley 'twerking', and performing other sexual foreplay. This gives the wrong message to a large proportion of viewers, especially the young. I believe the main reason to the controversy surrounding this song, and Miley herself, is the dramatic change of an american sweet hart gone bad.
