How was Miley Cyrus established?

Miley Cyrus became a teen idol for her portrayal of the starring character Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana in 2006; her father Billy Ray Cyrus additionally starred in the show.

Miley signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2007 for her debut studio album Meet Miley Cyrus which was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for exceeding three million shipments. In 2008 Miley released her second album Breakout and launched her film career as a voice actress in the animated film Bolt. She also starred in the feature film Hannah Montana: The Movie in 2009.

In 2010, she released her third album Can't Be Tamed, which stands as the lowest-selling record of her career, and starred in the film The Last Song. During production of the movie, she began a relationship with her co-star Liam Hemsworth. Cyrus focused on her acting career in 2011 and 2012. Her sexually explicit behaviour generated widespread controversy while promoting her fourth album Bangerz (2013), her first under her recording contract with RCA Records. Cyrus' independently-released fifth studio album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015) deviated from her traditional pop style for more psychedelic experimentation.

She was announced as a coach for the eleventh season of the singing competition series The Voice, in 2015. With Bangerz, Cyrus achieved her third number-one record on the U.S. Billboard 200, and fifth overall including the soundtrack albums for Disney's Hannah Montana series. She has logged seven top 10 entries on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with "See You Again", "7 Things", "The Climb", "Party in the U.S.A.", "Can't Be Tamed", "We Can't Stop" and the chart-topping "Wrecking Ball". Cyrus' catalog has earned numerous awards and nominations. Cyrus ranked number thirteen on Forbes' Celebrity 100 in 2010,and in 2013 was declared "Artist of the Year" by MTV. She has been included on the Time 100 list of most influential people in 2008 and 2014.

Miley Cyrus' History

Miley is frequently shown in her online videos and performs in tours all around the world. Miley used to be presented and associated as a role model for young girls due to Hannah Montana, and her classy behaviour as a young women. Over the last 5 years she has dramatically changed her image to show her audience versatility and confidence. Some critics, disagree with her behaviour as it may influence young girls to display the same behaviour.

Miley frequently presents close ups of herself in her music videos, although she never used to.

Camera work and editing is used to reinforce and develop the image of Miley Cyrus as there are frequent close ups of her in her music videos, highlighting that she is the main feature of the videos.

In her faster videos the pace is faster and there are more shots. In contrast 'Adore you' is a slower video, as she portrays herself in a more seductive manner.

This develops her image as we see her in detailed close ups which help us to get more of an idea of who she is.

I think that Miley Cyrus signifies 'Girl Power', but is also popular to men as she portrays herself in a seductive way supporting the male gaze theory of Laura Mulvey. Miley is popular currently because of her amazing songs and attractive body. Many young girls still look up to her because of her history in child TV programmes such as Hannah Montana.

In conclusion Miley is an extremely talented and for-nominal woman who creates expressive and impressive music. However i understand how some people criticize her behaviour as it isn't good for young girls to be influenced by this. I enjoy listening to her music and think she needed to grow up and change her style at some point, although i do think it was a bit dramatic how she went about it.
