The video's premise is Miley is a rare, wild creature, newly found, on display at a museum. Miley has huge wings, dark makeup and very flexible dance moves. It's super hot and sexy, definitely. It reminds me of Britney Spears' "Oops! I Did it Again" and "Circus." It seems like an appropriate transition from "Party in the USA," but then I remember, the girl is still 17 years old!
Now now, this reaction is a little more harsh because Miley is a Disney star. So, I remembered past Disney divas:
Ashley Tisdale's "He Said, She Said," made it to #1 on TRL. The music video was Ashley's raunchiest, so far. However, the video's not even raunchy. Ashley's just at a night club, and she was about 20 when it was released. She does wear a bikini in "Aliens in the Attic."
Hilary Duff's music videos are still clean. She did have that threesome on Gossip Girl recently, but this is years after her Disney affiliation dried off. She was about 21.
Britney Spears was a member of the Mickey Mouse Club. She can be considered a Disney girl. She is still definitely one of the biggest female acts ever. Yes, "Baby, One More Time" and "Oops! I Did it Again" were definitely images parents didn't want their daughters imitating. However, they weren't as wild as Miley's latest. I compared those first because they were released about the time Britney was Miley's current age. Looking at Britney's discography, it seems her label/management waited for Britney to at least become legal before they allowed her to bring in the sexy with "I'm a Slave 4 U."
Of course, everyone grows up at a different pace. Maybe Miley has just matured faster than all of those other girls. Another thing that makes this video different is the fact that there is no hint of the young, Hannah Montana girl. It's all Miley. The video matches what's out there right now with Lady GaGa and Ke$ha. I do like the song; the chorus is a little annoying though.
