“It should be harder to be an artist. You shouldn’t just be able to put a song on YouTube and go out on tour. I don’t lip-sync. I would rather someone say I sang like crap than have people see me lip-sync.”
Miley Cyrus on, I’m assuming, the recent fame of Rebecca Black.
I know that little Becky Black didn’t exactly attain fame in the conventional way (you know; dragged to every cattle call and modeling agency on both coasts by money-hungry parents who regretted their every decision once they saw what a big, toothy monster they created), but you weren’t exactly received as a ‘real’ star back in your day, either, Miley. I’m, in no way, sticking up for Rebecca Black or that fucking awful ‘Friday’ business, but please. Let’s try to get BOTH feet in the real world before throwing other little girls under the bus for wanting what you have.
