In reply to the discussion: I am a died-in-the-wool old fuddy-duddy, and i don't get all the fuss over Miley Cyrus. [View all]The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)56. Probably because it sucked and people expected better
Some of her videos are really well done.
In this case: Her hair sucked, her outfit sucked, her singing sucked, everything about that number was a train wreck.
Still like her, check out her tweets and such time to time (although this one was a bit weird: Having a moment with Boo ❤ http://instagram.com/p/dc7AieQzFC/# )
She seemed liked a talentless hack. I liked Lady Gaga's performance better and I don't even like her music all that much (I don't go out of my way to listen to it).
Glad she had fun. I think she is trying to find her way and is having a blast doing it but she didn't exhibit any real talent last night.
Just another old dude's opinion.
PS--- Music VIDEO awards. Where were the videos?

Madonna has been shocking since day one, because when she does it, it works.

Yeah that's really dated and untrue these days. What a performance at that moment could have been?
