Miley 'Twerking' Cyrus: A Great PR team or just true desperation?


Mileys tounge is now as famous as her
After this years lets say 'controversial' MTV VMA performance, Miley Cyrus has been the subject of discussion everywhere. It only seems like yesterday she was at the top of the charts with her cheesy pop songs and clean cut image and now she could not be further from those days. At first I, along with the majority of people, believed it was a very desperate and extreme attempt to rid herself of the Disney 'good girl' image. However after the release of her new video 'Wrecking Ball' where she is seen riding naked on a wrecking ball (as you do) she has admitted she wanted the video to be the most viewed YouTube video ever, and of course she is well on the way to achieving that title. I have personally only just watched the video (you can here - brace yourselves!) as I am still reeling from how cringey the VMA performance was, however now I have come to the realisation that maybe Miley isn't just going crazy and trying to be 'gangster' and failing miserably, but actually she has a great team of PR's that have used this opportunity to get people talking about her - and it is working!

Her new single Wrecking Ball, as previously mentioned, hit a VEVO record reaching 19.3 million views in 24 hours; knocking the mighty One Direction off the previous record - quite a feat for any artist! As shocking as her new image may be, and I do cringe everytime I watch her thinking she is sexy by sticking her tounge out like she is off her face on drugs - she has got people talking about her worldwide, and that is what has made her so successful and I am sure her new single will do well because of this.

What are your views on Mileys new image? Do you think it is a desperate image overhaul or a very clever PR led image? Leave your comments below!
