Billy Ray Defends Miley's Provocative Performance

And is this really the kind of stuff the TEEN Choice Awards should be advocating as cool for TEENS?

Disgusting.

Disgrace, her Dad should be ashamed of himself. What an enabler..,

Man Miley didn't stand a chance did she? With her parent's defending her inappropriate behaviour, what else can we expect? Good luck, Miley. You're going to need it.

people are taking this way out of proportion.. is not like she is 9 please !! and I saw the dancing and it was not sexual for me so I guess everyone see what they want to see...in their little dirty minds ..come one there are more important thing to criticize like war or corruption ..that is nothing ..you people amaze me . surely you are so perfect in your life to think like that

right... Daddy sees nothing wrong with his daughter being a 16 year old skank on a show aimed at teens? Not great parenting, Billy Ray.

Her parents are nuts anyway they let her sleeping with them when she wants it even she is already 16???They are finding it normal!!!So with parents like this how a jung woman is going to behave normaly???Poor kids an other one who will finish creasy soon!

Miley's performance was fine, I mean....if you guys people call that performance provocative or sexual...damn....ur sex life is lameeee

I feel bad writing this b/c i KNOW she reads this - h ell, she lives on twitter u know she scours the web for this stuff about herself. but, still, wow, what a lost kid...a real ska nk hillbilly with a voice that gives me a migraine

that's gross....she prob loves it, SL UT

she is non stop on that twitter blog she really thinks she is the most important person in the world, it's amazing what an f'ing narcisistcan't wait until her 15 min is OVER and she gains 120lbs and lives in a trailer

continues to write these stupid one liners trying to get at justin what an idiot she's just embarassing herself why do'nt her parents stop her

she sings very good...and i liked her performance too..if father is agree,then why make so much noise??????????

So Britney could dance like that in her teens and people worshipped her. But let any other girl get up there and try something new and we rip her to shreads!!! What the hell?!? She's growing up for crying out loud! Leave the girl alone. She's trying to get away from that "Disney" stereotype I'm sure. I realize they were a main contributor to making Miley as big a star as she is today. But she has to get away from that bubble gum image at some point.

buck tooth hillbilly

Of course he's not ashamed. Have you seen how he let's the little ones dress?!?!?!?!? They look like baby hookers!

I HATE MILEY DUMB CYRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUCK TOOTH HILLBILLY with NO VOICE! Billy MUST have to PIMP her out for money!!

com on it wasnt that bad at all. y is everybody blowing this way our of poportion. get over it wasnt bad wut teen doesnt dance like that.

I want to blast a hot thick load deep into her tight, slippery pussy. Tug her hair like the reigns of a horse as I pump the living daylights out of her doggy-style.

I totally agree with Mariana, B, and others. Whether you (or myself for that matter) like her or not, that wasn't a sexual dance. I mean, what would happen if she (or someone else) wears a camouflaged outfit? Everyone would start thinking she's going to war!!! Not everything is about sex!

I want her to wear a John Travolta mask then have crazy alien sex with her a**hole while wearing a Tom Cruise skin suit...

SOMEONE NEEDS TO FING THIS L.hUBBARD GUY & PUT HIM AWAY. I AM SO SICK OF READING ABOUT HIS MAN YOGURT - MEAT STICK - MAN GOO - A** F*CKING - AND TOO MANY TIMES IT INVOLVES THESE YOUNG GIRLS. HE IS SICK AND SCARY AND NOW SOUNDS LIKE A NUT CASE.

his daughter sighns his paychecks DAHHHHH there is NO defending this at anyage she was/is dancing like a slut!!!!!!!!!!! she is already outta control get some morals and decency little girl you dont have to be a whore or dance like a slut to be famous YUK!!!! YUK!!!!!yUK!!!!

How can they go to church and then say this is ok!!! Read the Bible Billy Ray.
You money grubbing dirt legg! Its gross and embarssing for our young children to be subject to this overlty sexual be havior F- YOU!

WELL, HE IS A PEDO ... WHAT A SHAME...

i don't understand that father. usually dads are protective of their daughter, but that one... i just don't get it. the girl is a minor and he allows her to do things not her age...and even going out with a some older guy.

Can this family get any more hillybilly white trash??? Our society has sunk to a new low when this is considered apporiate behavior for a 16 year old...or anybody else for that matter. Stipper Poles are for strippers and whores...end of story. Pole Dancing is NOT "empowering women" as I have absurdly heard it described as. Pole Dancing is dirty, trashy and low class. Pole Dancing has one purpose: to exploit and objectify woman. It's almost as if the Women's Movement has had no impact on young women. They see nothing wrong at all with being exploited and seen a mearly a sex object. I am showing my age, but I remember an old Continental Airlines TV ad from the late '60's that featured flight attendants (then called stewardres's) in mini skirts and hot pants singing "Fly Continental Airlines, we really move our tail for you". Women at thet time became so enraged that they protested and the company pulled the ad off the air. Young women today have no idea of the way women used to be treated in the workplace and in society in general and they seem to welcome going two steps backward. Very, very sad.

WTF you two are talking about?!!! How old are you? That stripper pole is a sexual suggestive symbol, all right? Don't try to say the contrary, okay? Do you know about the age average of Miley Cyrus fans? It's young girls around 12 years old. Many of her fans are not teenagers, they are younger. She is 16, she is very young but as a celebrity, she becomes a model, somebody a lot of poeople wish to copy. So acting like that on a show for teenagers and knowing well that younger kids are also part of your fan club is totally irresponsible and unacceptable. Mr. Cyrus Dad is very bizarre as a father...

For sure war and corruption are things we need to criticize, but we don't have the power to do it because these things are politics and us, what can we do concretely to change that? But things like that, when it comes to social manners such as education, things that influences our children, WE CAN CHANGE THAT! And it's our duty as parents and citizens to stand up and say "We disagree, and it's not good." Television is a public thing that belongs to each of us. So when we see crap, we have to say "no more" because we pay for it.

Oh please Mr Cyrus, you are exploiting your daughter for the mega bucks and you know it. A good parent wouldn't want their 16yr old daughter parading around in skimpy short shorts and trying to dance in a provocative manner around a stripper pole. He calls it art?, what a joke.. this man sits on the same perv/pimp/money hungry bench as Joe Simpson. Totally disgraceful, he needs help in the parenting department when it comes to raising his 16yr old because so far he has totally failed as a parent and mentor. Another one let loose in society with no boundaries because hillbilly daddy sees all the dollars coming in....sick!

3.57 calls it just growing up,dancing round a stripper pole and wearing hooker mini skirts and short short. Boy I hope you dont breed any of your spawn coz I just want to lock up my young daughters from people like you, your a disgrace and we can all see what kind of up bringing you have had...white trailer trash!

girls as young as 8 are part of her fan club..very disturbing when she is parading around and dressing like a WHORE.

3.29 is clueless. She is 16 and dancing round a stripper pole like a whore and you think there is nothing wrong with that? Go take a cold shower and get off the drugs!

Famous or not there is no way in hell I would let my two daughters dress like a whore and then say it's all art and it's acceptable. Mr Cyrus you are a complete MORON... a pathetic, disturbing part of society.

It really wasn't that bad. I don't know where all this hype is coming from. Go to a high school sporting event and watch the drill/dance team perform. Same moves if not worse.

billy must be getting tips from pimp-daddy joe simpson

Billy Achey Brakey Heart almost made it but didn't. How can you do this to your little girl? Get her out now you idiot and save her before it is too late.

HAHA look at that girl's face in back of her!

Miley looks like a monkey and she's has reached the peak of annoyance.

check out her twitter she's still up pontificating as usual

she didnt even pole dance. this whole thing is ridiculous. Did anyone watch the TCA's? She held onto the pole, went down to be at the fan level, came back up and got off. That is not pole dancing. Watch a Pussycat Dolls Video if you want to watch pole dancing.

does she ever shut up?
and I agree 10:35pm she does look like a monkey, a buck tooth monkey

2:04 AM Miley, go to bed! you're Dad is a pimp and you're a sk ank

MILEY HAS GORGEOUS LEGS AND GYRATING AROUND THAT POLE MADE MY POLE HARD! SCUSE ME WHILE I GO WATCH IT ON DVR FOR THE THOUSANTH TIME AND PLEASURE MYSELF AGAIN! OUCH!!!!!!!!! IT IS SO SOAR.

A girl HER age shouldn't perform pole dancing, not even in the doubtful name of "art".
And her dear father should start urgently to discover what NO spotlights are. He is addicted to attention and uses his daughter for his own purposes.
Do we really have to appreciate all that, to serve his purposes??

quit acting stupid hick you know sex sells shame on you

quit acting stupid hick you know sex sells shame on you

Her voice is awful, she honestly sounds like a chipmunk.And I noticed her black bra is showing as she dances round a stripper pole, oh my lord this girl is only 16yrs old, what is her dad thinking. He is clueless as a parent.

I am a big believer that you shouldn't care about other people's opinions. However, when a 16 year old GIRL dresses like she did and uses a pole to dance on, my 4 year old daughter shouldn't be exposed to that. And people will say that my daughter shouldn't be watching it (and I did shut it off once I saw how she was dressed) but all I have to say to them is that my daughter watches the Disney Channel and that is where she got to know Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers. Her dad needs to take responsibility and say that this was wrong and it should have never happened.

OMG! I would love to punch the writer of this in the face. "Provocatly dance" GOOOOD she danced in tha freackin pole for about 20 seconds, that wasnt a whore pole dance, first she has clothe on, second, she just stayed beside the pole and sing and then she made some cool moves and that was it, OMG!!! And she's 16, she's less than 2 years away from legality, she's not 12, she's all grown up! LEAVE HER ALONEEE!!! She did an amazing job, she's a performer, she's sopoused to entertain in a big way, she did her job awesomly!!!!! LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE AND GO GET A LIFE!

YEAH ADRIANA! Your so right. But I must admit being a 60 year old male I must say that young girl got my joy stick in GEAR!

Pole dancing and what she did are two totally different things. People that call that pole dancing have been way to sheltered. it was a platform for her to ride across the stage on with a pole on it to hang on to. She squatted down and sang to the audence 1 time (gasp!) and that was the most stripper like thing she did, she freaking wiggled her foot like twice after that once while saying she something about stellettos and not getting a memo, so not stripper like, You all need to grow up!

She did not pole danced. Watch the full video and you'll see it's not. Grow up, jealous freaks!

This is discusting...she is waaaaay too young to be screwing a pole especially with the little girl that look up to her, when she got into the singing buisness she knew she was going to have to keep up a good reputation especially for the little girls who look up to her, like they look up to her what do u think their ganna wanna do when they go home after they see this!!!!!! WOW she really needs to stop this crap.

I saw this performance on T.V when it came on. People are taking it out of context. A snapshot doesn't explain an entire performance. She wasn't dancing on the pole, she was literally holding it and standing 99% of the time.

that little dip she did while holding on to the pole does not constitute a pole dance. you people are jerks get off her back. have some balls and stop posting as anonymous
