There were mixed views on whether or not Miley should have received this award for this video. In my own personal opinion i think no. This is because she does not promote the correct behaviour or example to her fan-base, (before and after her transformation) Miley had a previous history of being a Disney channel children's show actress to her hit series Hannah Montana and has now been shown in recent news grinding on celebrities and performing half naked. For a woman with so much previous respect i don't think this new image suits her.
Back to the original point of whether or not she should have received this award; the real question should be what makes a good music video and does she fit the criteria . what makes a good music video is:
- A good setting
- Good costumes (does it match the mood/tone)
- Good lighting
- Good Choreography (was it in sync)
- A variety of camera angles
If each category was assessed then her video would be good for an average music video but there is nothing that makes her a candidate for best music video. Miley has given into the male gaze theory and there is no question to whether or not her message was positive as i along with many other critics believe that her song had a strong message that was then tainted later by her inability to keep her clothes on. In the video there was no actually reason to why she wasn't wearing clothes apart from trying to please the male viewers. After reading many reviews on whether or not Miley should have received this award, I came to the final conclusion that Miley is clearly crying out for attention in this video and MTV has done nothing more than promote her behaviour. There was nothing that made Miley Cyrus stand out more than her nudity and if that is what the award is for, then surely many more celebrities will be removing their clothes for the fame which is not new but has ruined many young peoples view on success.
