In Defense of Miley Cyrus: Blogger Spotlight

Would you let your child or teen watch a Miley Cyrus video? Or listen to her music?

Owings Mills Patch blogger Joni Reynolds wrote in defense of Cyrus, who has made headlines this summer for her controversial performance at the 2013 MTV VMA awards. Cyrus also recently released a new video, called “Wrecking Ball,” which is making headlines, as Cyrus appeared nude in some parts of the video.

“Cyrus is not crazy,” writes Reynolds. “She is an entertainer. We might not like [her] choices, but we all have the choice of turning away, tuning off the set or turning to another teen star. Hannah Montana is dead. She has gone to sitcom heaven never to return, and we are left with reality and that is adult entertainer Miley Cyrus.”
