Hit Me With Your Best Shot

So it's been a while since I've actually wrote a blog post, so here's something on a topic that I have been silent on far too long:

10 reasons why Miley Cyrus is awesome:

Honestly, I'm a big fan of Miley. And let me tell you why

1) She actually is talented. She can sing. Check out her singing Dolly Parton's "Jolene" in the backyard sessions.

2) She is super fit. Claims that it's "yoga" and never sleeping. Sure man...

3) She has completely transformed herself. She took her good girl image and then what seemed like overnight (which really was a series of incidents and warnings- see TMZ video of Miley twerking at a Juicy J concert months ago before the VMA incident) and transformed herself into a pop commodity. Is there anything really wrong with a girl shedding her image of the past? Take chameleon extraordinaire, Madonna, or for a milder example, Rihanna - From "Breaking Dishes" to "Umbrella." People grow up. People change. Except it.

4) She is not afraid to show off her body. Some people may think that she is being slutty, gross etc. Or using her body to sell records. But I say, get it girl. You're young and 20. Take your clothes off if you want. Wear what you want. Dance however you want. Take risks.

5) She appears to not listen to anyone but herself. She claims she is in 100 percent control of her career. Whether this is true, she sure is dancing to the own beat of her drum.

6) She openly reps smoking weed. Just one more on the Kush train with Snoop and Willie.

7) So far, she has yet to have some type of mental break down. And that's pretty good being a product of the Disney machine (see Britney Spears, Demi Lavato etc.)

8) I don't think she is overly "artsy" but she does attempt to make something artistic (like her music videos for "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball" as opposed to just pumping out hits from Doctor Luke (again see Britney Spears latest creation.)

9) She is candid. She speaks her mind, laughs, sticks her tongue out, swears, smokes, whatever. She shows us she is human and that really is super fun up in Miley's world.

10) She can apparently hold her own in the hiphop world. Somehow she has won over hiphop artists like Mike Will Made It, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifia, and French Montana, oh and Pharrell Williams. That speaks volumes. If they are willing to work with her, she must be packing some heat ( I mean some talent.)
