Seeing headlines about her antics on tour since she's been in the UK (I don't read the articles and try to avoid her but as someone who enjoys celeb gossip, it's impossible to be Miley free) hearing of how she wanted her audience to flash each other in Birmingham really made me cringe. People have been put on the sex offenders register for less than that! At another show she said she hoped everyone was on drugs.

Her overall behaviour in general seems to be getting dirtier and dirtier and I don't think she'll calm down any time soon, she seems desperate to keep people guessing how far she's going to go. Personally, don't see how much worse she can get.

I feel like an old church lady but I just can't stomach her at all. Does she make anyone else feel sick, with her inside-and-out ugliness?

Miley Cyrus isn't my type of music at all. But if you think she's pure filth then you're quite naive

She's very icky, but she's symbolic of a certain batch of girls within her generation.

She is gratuitous for the sake of it and is neither as shocking or alternative as she would hope it is. It's so staged and controlled than any sense of daring and fun is taken from it and she ends up looking like a child playing at being grown up whilst dirty grown men and women sit behind desks counting the pennies whilst she slides further to future mental health problems.

Oh, I know she's far from the worst out there but as far as mainstream chart music goes, and when she's someone who is hard to ignore because the media report every fart, she overwhelms me sometimes.

It's very sad as young girls think that this is what you have to do to be successful in the music industry - basically whore yourself out on stage.

This isn't the ramblings of some old fogie either - I'm 24.

I think she'd like to be thought of as "pure filth", that seems her aim.

She's vile IMO. Asking kids to take drugs and strip for each other is completely out of order in my book. She has no moral compass what so ever.

Compare Miley's tour to Katy Perry's, I went to the latter's tour last week and was pleasantly surprised at how clean she kept her show. Katy wasn't lewd, she acknowledged it was a school night for the kids and she didn't utter a single swear word throughout the entire concert. It was a show you'd be happy to take you 8/9/10 year old to go and see and that's why I'd happily go and see her live again. It was fun for all the family , which is what Katy promised months ago.

Miley claims her tour is for all ages and encourages kids to go just like Katy does but the difference in content is staggering. If I was a parent who'd taken my child to see Cyrus I'd be properly annoyed with her tbh.

While I appreciate Katy Perry is not perfect and has her own faults she at least kept it classy unlike her peers. Miley and Gaga could genuinely learn a thing or two from Perry.

The thing is, that's true. It is what pop stars have to do.

A lot of girls want to be a popstar, not someone standing in front of a guitar etc they want the performing to a catchy song and seen by millions but to be that type of popstar they have to be extremely sexual. Miley is just living proof of that.

There are different shades of pop of course but Miley is in a league of her, Rihanna, Gaga etc who are commercial pop and need to be admired for their bodies.

It confuses me, really, how some people want this image for themselves. Aside from doing a bit of despairing pearl clutching, I mostly find it desperately sad in a rather upsetting way.

Yes she is a disgusting human being, and I am 29.

She advocates being promiscious, goes around wearing next to nothing and is nothing but a tart. Considering there is a high rate of STIs, Cyrus is encouraging this even more.

Keep this up, she'll be on a mortuary slab when she is 26.

The act is tacky as hell, but it's hardly "pure filth". It's not really that bad, and it seems to me (I don't pay much attention but yes, it is hard to avoid when you frequent sites like this and Buzzfeed) that 80% of it is just words.

To be honest, I direct more criticism at parents who take young children to her shows than I do at Miley herself. They should be well aware of what's to come from her.

Anyway, in a few years she'll shed this persona and adopt a new one. It's a game.

Britney was never trashy like Miley, even in her prime. She managed to pull off being sexy without being overly slutty. Just watch the Slave 4 U video.

Her biggest problem is that she is not sexy. She looks like a boy, thats not her fault shes developed like that. However shes is trying to hard to be something she is not.

In pop music, it's more commonly 27.
Not something I wish on her nevertheless.

Just one thought though...imagine she was a boy......

It's always toe-curlingly cringeworthy when a teeny star tries to be sexy to shed their earlier image. Kylie, Britney, Christina - they all did it and tried far too hard.

What is worse is that young girls seem to think this is feminism in action http://www.theguardian.com/music/201...-love-her-more

What envelope would that be, being trashy and cheap, being as sexy as lamp stand and basically being manipulated into thinking it is somehow cool to advocate being a slut without thought for herself or others. And you just know that there is some exec somewhere pushing her and that is the saddest and most tragic thing of all. She sees it as stepping out on her own but really some dude/lady is coining it at her future expense see Britney, Beiber, Bynes Culkin, Lohan and the list goes on.

Pushing the envelope? LMAO. She's a silly little girl who is desperate to shock so her music will sell, nothing more.

There are many artists who have pushed the envelope in the past but the current crop are all about cheap tactics and attention seeking.
