Miley Cyrus used to be somebody I allowed my daughter to follow but over the past couple of years Miley has steadily followed the Britney Spears way of doing things. In this latest move she is dancing in shorts that barely cover her and wearing a top where her bra is clearly visible all done before a group of 10-16 year old kids. The sad part is i like this song..but if i don’t allow my daughter to wear that kind of clothing I can’t in any conscience allow her to follow this person anymore. I now have the unenviable task of letting my 9 year old know why I am taking this action as well as showing her the several examples that are readily available.
I have two versions. The first one is the tv performance. The second one is raw footage form the stands where you can see not so much Miley’s actions but the actions of the supporting dancers around her which is where i have another problem. I now consider Miley to be an adult artist. I’ve been watching her for a couple of years and she wants to “grow up” but this isn’t the way to do it.
Here’s the lyrics to her latest song that was performed for a group of 9-15 year olds at the teen awards show and the final thing at the bottom will be a link to watch or download the video. To watch double-click the video. The url for download is http://www.hescominsoon.com/video/usaparty.mp4. Also I have found raw footage that shows the whole performance before it got edited for tv.

I hopped off the plane at LAX
with a dream and my cardigan
welcome to the land of fame and sex,
am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab,
Here I am for the first time
Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous
My tummys turnin and I’m feelin kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I’m nervous,
That’s when the taxi man turned on the radio
and a Britney song was on
and the Britney song was on
and the Britney song was on
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
Theyre playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
Theyre playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody’s lookin at me now
Like whos that chick, thats rockin kicks?
She gotta be from out of town
So hard with my girls all around me
Its definitely not a Nashville party
Cause all I see are stilletos
I guess I never got the memo
My tummys turnin and I’m feelin kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I’m nervous
That’s when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune
and a Michael song was on
and the Michael song was on
and the Michael song was on
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
Theyre playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
Theyre playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Feel like hoppin’ on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me every time (every time)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
Theyre playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
Theyre playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
So I put my hands up
Theyre playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
Theyre playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
