Lohan, Cyrus, Prince, and Isley... what they all have in common

So, the VMAs were last night, and every one is up in arms about Hannah Montana sticking her tongue out and shaking a non-existent backside.  That girl is twerking nothin but bones, but that's not the point.  The point is the transformation and everyone's commentary on it, along with faces contorted at the display of twerk and tongue from the no-ass-atall youngin'. https://twitter.com/graciejenkinss/status/371989237773926400/photo/1

However, I'd like everyone to remember that we are all people who stoop down on the porcelain throne, put our pants on one at a time, and all have awkward moments of growing pangs.  Miley is actually a talented young lady who is trying to come into her own.  Don't know who remembers this great version of "Lilac Wine" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFZsunzjDXU

So, the VMAs... Cool song, crazy performance that leaves odd feelings of pedophilia and longing for some auto tune.  However, good effort at making a show not mind numbingly boring.  Every artists who is making new music, longer than 5 years must reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant to the mainstream.  Take a look at Prince, Ron Isley, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lindsey Lohan.  Any artist must let go of their childhood roles and make new works of art that reflect the time that is most relevant to keep selling new material.  Otherwise, your stuck making appearances using old songs, saying old lines and wearing the old clothes. 

All of us as human beings have to grow, and rarely any of us want to be remembered as our badly dressed, awkward cussing younger versions of ourselves.  I'm sure that as a celebrity and person who makes a living from your brand desires for her image and job opportunities to grow along with her regardless of the path chosen.  So, I say this to say, don't be so quick to judge, I'm sure someone has some awkward photos or videos of not so awesome moments... some may be posted on Facebook this very moment... *disapproving stares*
