Miley Cyrus Sings Just Like Daddy: New Achy-Breaky Single Released

HerBadMother — Tue, 13 May 2008 20:27:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus is trying to get things back to business as usual after the Photo Scandal That Shall Not Speak Its Name, and she's already having some success: her new single, "7 Things," premiered yesterday. The song, though - which has a sound that is totally in the tradition of her dad's pop-country style - is already stirring up a little controversy of its own: it's about a failed relationship. Nick Jonas, maybe?

In the song, Miley - who, let's not forget, is just fifteen - sings about the seven things she hates about her ex boyfriend: "You're vain, your games, you're insecure/You love me, you like her/You make me laugh/ You make me cry." Things she likes? "Your hair, your eyes/You made me laugh…You made me love you!"

I could make some crabby, curmudgeonly comment about she's only fifteen, what can she know about love at fifteen, blah blah blah, but I won't. I bitched enough already about the Lolita photo shoot, and truth be told, this song pretty much sums up love as understood by fifteen year olds, so whatever. At least she's moving forward. Kudos for that.

Listen to the single HERE.

MTV Asks: Was Jamie Lynn Raped?

Actually, they're framing the question more as "is Jamie-Lynn's pregnancy which may or may not be the result of a rape legal?" Which, really, it's a bit late and a lot pointless to be asking that question, isn't it? And, also, you know, maybe a little bit alarmist?

Sure, nobody seems to be quite sure of Casey Aldridge's exact age - he could be as old as nineteen, which complicates the legality of his, erm, relations with Jamie Lynn - nor do they know where, exactly, those relations took place (both which have a bearing upon whether those relations could be called statutory rape) but please - isn't the whole legality of the relationship that probably* spawned this child kind of beside the point? I mean, she's a teenager who's about to have a baby and who may or may not be equipped to deal with the pressures of having said baby, so aren't there bigger things to worry about here?

It's not on the scale of Miley-Cyrus-Gone-Topless, granted - we are, after all, talking about a knocked-up girl who's hiding out in Louisana, and not dropping her clothes for major magazines - but still. New baby for a girl who's terrified of becoming a mother? That's the real hand-wringer here, not the question of whether her boyfriend is 18 or 19 and whether or not they did it in Louisiana.

*(Probably, because nobody ever did really dispute those rumors that there was another, older man in the picture at the supposed time of conception. Which, yes, eeewwww, but worth pointing out here.)
