While taking a moment to promote her first Australian tour, Miley Cyrus took a stab at Justin Bieber and other artists who launched their music careers by posting clips to YouTube. Among the dissed stars is the latest viral sensation Rebecca Black of ‘Friday’ fame, who Bieber himself has already made fun of. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph about her upcoming tour in June, Miley was asked about the influence YouTube held over the music industry. Her response was less than thought-out.
“It should be harder to be an artist. You shouldn’t just be able to put a song on YouTube and go out on tour,” the daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus said.
Really?! Hopefully they’ll set the bar even higher for those that got their start as ‘Hannah Montana’ and Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter. The fact that Bieber started out with nothing but a YouTube account speaks wonders of his talent level. YouTube stars that are doing their thing without the backing of the Disney Corporation deserve the utmost artistic respect.
But we’ll let you decide for yourself about Rebecca Black…
She’s right about Black but she forgot to include many others, including herself. If it were any harder to be an artist, Miley would be an unknown herself. Miley went on to discuss how excited she is to tour Australia because, “Australians are a lot like southern people. [They] love BBQ as much as we do.” Um, she does know Australia is not in America, right?!
