Miley Cyrus made a rap video about quitting Twitter. The video received over 3 million views in 3 days. The video was just asking for a parody to be made and Jimmy Fallon jumped on it quickly while tapping his inner Billy Ray Cyrus. Miley Cyrus’ dad Billy Ray still uses Twitter and so Jimmy Fallon made a song about that. Above is a video embedded of the video.
Miley Cyrus is a celebrity that currently has the Midas touch. Every tweet, video, and song that she puts together becomes media gold. Last week I reported that Cyrus quit Twitter because her rumored boyfriend recommended it. However Cyrus made a rap video embedded above that reports the real reason why she quit. That reason is because of tabloids. The tabloids take her tweets and sometimes make reports on them that are out of context. This reasons does seem like a logical, but it is a blow to her fans nonetheless that follow her religiously.
The rap video above hit 3 million views in about 3 days. If Cyrus did not like the attention, then why would she put up a video which she knew would put her back in the spotlight? “I want my private life private,” raps Cyrus. “I’m living for me.” Of course Cyrus wants the attention, but only at a moderate level.
Miley Cyrus does make a good rapper for a Caucasian tween girl. But I still think Taylor Swift’s performance with T-Pain was more upbeat and fun. Beyonce has the greatest video of all time though.
For most of the day today, #mileycomeback was the trending topic on Twitter. This is because Miley Cyrus has quit Twitter. “FYI Liam doesn’t have a Twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason,” was Cyrus’ last tweet. Miley was referring to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth.
Hemsworth and Cyrus are starring in a movie together called The Last Song and they are rumored to be dating. Miley and her mom’s Twitter account are both now offline. However Miley’s brother Trace and sister Brandi are still sending tweets.
Miley had about 2 million followers by the time she quit. All things considered, I think this is a bad marketing move for the singer. She is cutting off a way for her to communicate with her fans directly. I’m sure if she tweeted her Twitter followers to download her music on iTunes, a large number of them would do it. I wouldn’t be surprised if she comes back sometime in the near future.
