First came Britney Spears with the song My Prerogative, then came Lindsay Lohan with the song rumors and now Miley Cyrus with Cant be Tamed. Britney and Lindsay have a lot in common in terms of their star- base and extra-curricular activities,.hence it made alot of sense when they came up with songs like these. At that time when i heard these tracks, i always interpreted them in terms of how they are suppressed and these females have been a target of baseless rumors and they need to let loose and be themselves. Now Miley Cyrus has come up with her track, Cant Be Tamed, which shows her as a bird caught in a cage and once she lets loose she becomes aware of her self , she is free to do crazy things because she cant be controlled anymore.
She has been given this innocent minded next door girl kind of image, same was the image for Britney and Lindsay, until it came crashing down and they felt the need to come up with songs like these to show that they are finally letting loose of their strings. With these songs, just followed a bunch of sexual and wrecked behavior. Is that whats going to happen to Miley, was this song a signal that a new wrecked Miley is in the making?
These Pop stars are role models for millions of teenage girls all over the world, and when they come up with songs like these, it serves as a signal to all these girls on how they need to let loose and get out of control. Teenagers are already in their own rebellious phase and music like this aggravates it even more. Every year, a new pop star comes up with a number like these.There has been a trend and Miley Cyrus's new track just adds into it. The purpose is quiet obvious, once these pop stars stand up as labels of freedom from control , they became ideals for these teenagers because teenage girls believe that they can relate to them.Once this mutual feeling is developed, they start relating to all the other activities these pop stars indulge in. Its simply good branding and good advertising.
