Counterargument
Although people will argue that Miley Cyrus's VMA performance is lewd or inappropriate, many people will argue that Miley achieved her goal of creating a memorable performance effectively. As a young, successful performer, Miley Cyrus knew exactly what was needed in order to have people turn heads. The intention of the performance was to not disturb her audience, but to keep the limelight. It is the performer's duty to entertain their audience, even if it was inappropriate, there are many other singers and artists who objectify and sexualize themselves. One example is Lady Gaga who dressed in a thong at the VMA's. It is common sense for people to understand that sex sells.

Miley Cyrus did achieve her goal of creating a memorable performance, but was this the right way to go about it? Miley Cyrus didn't really seem to think the whole situation through and the results/consequences that would follow it. Her performance appears to have done the opposite of what she had hoped for, only thinking of the present and not the future outcome. As a result of her performance, she has ruined her reputation and her fans loyalty, at least mine. Sure she got the limelight she was looking for, but where is she now? I don't really hear as much news about her as I use to leading up to, and shortly after her performance. I still love her early music, and one later song (23) but her performance during the VMA just still doesn't sit well, in my stomach, to this day.
