Miley Cyrus

I think Miley Cyrus has changed a lot throughout her career. She started her career by staring in Hannah Montana where she played the main character Miley and Hannah Montana. In Hannah Montana she played a double life one being a normal girl who lived a normal life the other being a pop star. She started doing concerts being Hannah Montana and that’s when her music career really took off. As Hannah Montana she made pop songs and still does as today as Miley Cyrus. I her early music videos she was seen as a good girl who was glamorous most of the time with back up dances and big crowds. Her early image was the Disney good girl who was in the spot light a lot and was a role model to many girls across the world. As the program went on her wealth and fame grew and she turned into a teen idol. In her Hannah Montana videos she was always in the spot light, one of the main examples being the video nobody’s perfect where she is in the spot light the majority of the time. The camera is either on her with her backing dances or the crowd cheering her name or singing along, another thing which happens in the video is the two people taking photographs acting like paparazzi on stage during the performance. On April 23^rd 2007 the second season of Hannah Montana started and on the 12^th October 2008 it stopped then shortly after she signed a 4 album deal with Disney owned Hollywood records.  As she started doing more tours and shows she started to change a little bit one example is she started dressing slightly more revealing by wearing a tartan pink short skirt on the Best of both worlds tour. Another time we see her dressing more revealing is on the gypsy heart tour in 2011. In 2013 Miley hired Larry Rudolph as a manager, who had previously worked with Britney spears. In that same year she left Hollywood Records and joined RCA records. When with RCA records she released her fourth studio album bangerz which was released in October. On the album “we can’t stop” was serviced as lead single from the record in June. The track reached number 2 on the US billboard hot 100. Mileys second single from bangers was wrecking ball. Its accompanying music video was released on the 9^th of September 2013 and set yet another vevo record by having 19.3 million views in the first 24 hours of its release. The video of wrecking ball was one of the craziest videos of her career, it featured a her licking a sledge hammer and kissing it then a wrecking ball going through a wall, shortly after you see her sat on a wrecking ball half naked then fully naked. This video shows that she has gone from a good girl who was a role model to many kids, to a bad girl who has tried to lose the good girl Disney image. The wrecking ball video has defiantly shown this because of the fact that most of the video she is half naked. In the video one of the close ups shown is her sat on a wrecking ball like the picture above but with no clothes on and the chain and her leg blocking her private areas. I think the close ups are used so the artist can reveal as much as she is allowed to and to show that she isn’t scared the show off her body. I think Miley has broken out of the good girl Disney image and crept in the bad girl image. I think she has done this because she is sick of being the good girl and wants to leave the Disney image behind her.
 In conclusion to what I have wrote I think Miley Cyrus has changed immensely over the last couple of years, going from the Disney good girl to the bad girl who is not bothered about breaking the rules. She went from being Hannah Montana, acting and singing living a double life then to getting slightly wilder by dressing more and more revealing then to being completely naked on a wrecking ball.
