I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

As unfortunate as it may be, this first post is about the infamous Miley Cyrus. More importantly, her video that I recently watched, "Can't Be Tamed" Huh? It seems tome that I am not the only one questioning Miley and her new "look."

Maya Angelou says, in her poem "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,"

"But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage

can seldom see through his bars of rage

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing..."

Perhaps our not so dear Miley feels as if she is trapped inside a small, narrow cage

of 

oppression 

from the millions of tween girls who idolize her and her "Disney

image?" Who knows, all I can say is that she is doing a terrible job of imitating

Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Ringling Brothers Circus.

Addressing another aspect of the poem, "...he opens his mouth to sing..."

Now, I am not sure if this bird is an alto, soprano, or any other kind of mobster

but I can guarantee that it has a better sound, and better consistency in terms of

songs. Seriously MIley, are you a country star? No.. a pop star? No.. What is next,

Miley Cyrus rapping with T-Pain? Oh, wait I have just been informed she did

make a rap video about why she deleted her Twitter... I follow that with who

cares? Okay Miley what is next... a new CD titled "Miley Cyrus: Polka!"

Perhaps deep down Miley is a good girl, perhaps we should find fault with

Cobra Starship for making this good girl "go bad," but perhaps maybe just maybe

Miley is trying to fit her music and self into a different demographic? My guess is

that we will never know; MIley will still be Flip Flop Miley and wont be caged

for long...
