Blurred Lines controversy
Some people see Robbie Thicke’s “blurred lines” as a song
which symbolises rape. Recently, the song has been banned from 20 universities
because of its sexual lyrics figuratively implying forced sexual activity (“I
know you want it”). With all the controversy it has stirred up, its hardly surprising that blurred lines has earned Robin the sexiest of the year title from a poll conducted by the Violence against women Coalition which is comprised more than 60 women's rights groups.But on the other hand, some people do not see the song as so
called rape song. Blurred lines is not about rape there same way cop killer is
about killing cops. It depends on an individual’s interpretation of the song.
Robbie thick himself has been defending the song in many of his interviews. He
said “What’s wrong with being sexy?” That could be because, unlike Eminem or
Body count, he didn’t mean to be outrageous. It was conceived and directed by
Diane Martel, who said it forces men to feel playful and not at all like predators. I directed the girls to look into the camera.
The 36 year old smashed the records with the single which sees him T.I and Pharell enjoying a multitude of practically naked women dancing around them. Thick has defended his single implying that mostly young people will understand the concept of the track more than adults.
Wrecking Bull Controversy
"Wrecking Ball" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Miley's first chart-topping single. It also broke several Vevo records. The way this all happened is a combination of factors. On one hand, credit goes to the talented people writing, producing, and promoting her material. They have done a great job of hyping up the young artist. But the artist gets credit here, too. By any means necessary, Miley has kept her name in the public discourse. In modern pop, if people are saying your name, they're probably listening to your music, too.
Miley Cyrus single wrecking bull has sparked a controversy. Her single involves her riding on a wrecking bully fully naked for the majority of the song. The wrest of the song involves her licking a hammer. This video is known to be an absolute outrage but also a sensational video because of its charts success.
But why would Miley Cyrus even attempt to make such a strong video like this? The reason may be to show that the is a woman and no longer a girl. Cyrus has completely burned the faint image of the so called Hannah montana and replaced it with a sex object.
Miley explained that her inspiration from this song came from Sinead Oconor's single "nothing compares 2u". Sinead did not mind the fact that miley sees her as a role model but is not happy with the chart topper. The irish star believes mileys transition from hannah montana to sexy cyrus is absolutely disgraceful.
