Miley Pole Dances At Teen Choice Awards, More From The Web

August 13, 2009/by Sarah Skates
Check out the reaction of the fan in the crowd.

If she was trying to get attention, I guess it worked…

Miley Cyrus’ pole dance at the Teen Choice Awards (of all places) is being bashed by bloggers all over the Internet.

EW.com says, “But the stripper-esque choreography, coupled with Cyrus’ questionable red-carpet attire, came off completely inappropriate and ill-advised.”

The LA Times blog has the headline “Miley goes too far (and too low),” followed by, “There are so many things wrong with this performance of ‘Party in the U.S.A.’ The too-short shorts, the exposed bra and, oh yeah, the stripper pole on the ice cream truck.”

These quotes may not phase the star, who won six surfboards that night, mainly for her work as “Hannah Montana.” She also won for best music single for “The Climb,” written locally by Jon Mabe and Jessi Alexander. Billy Ray Cyrus won an award for Choice TV Parental Unit. Other big winners were David Archuleta and all things Twilight related.

Several other locals rocked out that night, too:
Choice Music Female Artist: Taylor Swift
Choice Music Rock Group: Paramore
Choice Music Rock Track: Paramore – “Decode”
Choice Music Album Female Artist: Taylor Swift – “Fearless”

With the Tennessee Lottery offering Tennessee Titans branded lottery tickets…would country music  tickets be such a stretch? The football theme tickets, available Sept. 1, kick off the season offering prizes ranging from the chance to win Titans Club season tickets for 20 years, to $100,000 cash, to merchandise.

A new documentary focuses on Jimmy Page, Jack White and The Edge. It Might Get Loud tells each guitar hero’s story, explores the power of the electric guitar and shows them jamming together.

And if you prefer more sophisticated dance moves…Nashville Ballet will open sales of single night tickets on Sept. 7. Season highlights include the new Nashville based Nutcracker, American Originals with Hal Ketchum, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Tickets start at $23 at www.nashvilleballet.com.

    HitFix.com’s Melinda Newman also posted a scathing editorial about Miley’s, um, “performance” at the Teen Choice Awards. Read it here:

    So Miley dresses and acts like a hooker for every american teen, and Billy gets an award for Parental Unit? That’s a far cry from parenting-award worthy, but I guess that’s where we are today. Sick.

    I thought it was what everyone wanted. Music Row aside, the media ONLY wants this type of story, because it seems this is the thing the people want.

    Not a new discussion I know.

    The answer? Quite frankly, we need to emphasize how important modesty, purity, and morality are. Say that is impossible?
    Well, kids Miley’s age who follow the lead of pop culture are KILLING themselves at the highest rate ever!
    At the end of the day, our religious and political leaders have set a very poor example. I do not mean censorship, people can do that on their own. I mean by TEACHING and LIVING the values they SHOULD be espousing. Instead, they PANDER to the lowest common denominator.
    This has lost them ALL credibility.

    They do not come any sweeter than Miley and her family, but to stay relevant, it seems performers and those behind them are pushing ever harder and are being pushed by US to do these things to catch our attention.
