Miley Cyrus is getting tons of feedback about her naked “Wrecking
Ball” music video which debuted on Monday. Below are three major insights that are
noteworthy.
1. The man behind Miley Cyrus' naked "Wrecking Ball" music video:
Fox News points
out that the director of the Miley Cyrus' “Wrecking Ball” music video has a
“checkered past.”
After the naked “Wrecking
Ball" shoot, Terry Richardson tweeted a
photo of himself “hugging a robe-clad Miley Cyrus.” He also posted a series of
pictures of the starlet smoking, cutting her hair and even eating a salad.
Cyrus retweeted one of the photos of herself posing with Richardson.
2. Why Miley Cyrus would do a music video like "Wrecking Ball" or a VMA twerking dance:
The Guardian agrees
with Fox News that Terry Richardson, the director of “Wrecking Ball” is “repulsive."
“A man whose work gives the impression that he looks at a woman and can't help seeing a blow-up sex doll – as director.”
“A man whose work gives the impression that he looks at a woman and can't help seeing a blow-up sex doll – as director.”
Apart from the director issue, the
author of the Guardian’s article, whose 13-year-old daughter used to be a Miley
Cyrus fan when she was Hannah Montana, is expressing his concern about how a
teen star breaks into being an adult star. By being over the top sexy?
The Guardian's analysis does not only fit Miley Cyrus' naked "Wrecking Ball" music video but also her most recent VMA twerking performance.
Last but not least, the Guardian highlights some of the
scenes that do not involve Miley Cyrus swinging naked on the wrecking ball. “Miley
orally pleasuring a sledgehammer! Yes, you can watch – of all the sights in the
world – Miley Cyrus simulating fellatio on something you'd find in a garden
shed. What next? Selena Gomez giving a handjob to a strimmer?”
3. The reward -- for fame and money:
Quite interestingly, CBS News presents
non-judgmental facts about Miley Cyrus’ naked “Wrecking Ball” music video.
“The
singer's 'Wrecking Ball' which debuted Monday, has earned the most
views on Vevo in a 24-hour period. As of this writing, the Terry
Richardson-directed video has racked up more than 17 million views. ‘Wrecking
Ball’ is the second single off Cyrus' upcoming album, 'Bangerz,' due

insight into Miley Cyrus naked “Wrecking Ball” video – but the readers’ comments
under the article do.
