Little Bit of Pop Culture

Okay, so I generally don't care about pop culture or whatever. I keep kind of up to date and I love music and listening to new music but I generally don't feel the need to voice my opinions about them with the world but this must be shared. I cannot handle what I just saw. I literally am not sure what I just saw.
Miley Cyrus recently released the music video for her single We Can't Stop. The single itself I like and enjoy listening to, but the video. The video is simply something else. The music video is something my brain can't even comprehend. So many things happened in it and the video is just interesting. No offense to Miley like you go girl, be different! But this video, I don't even know what to say about it. In it she is twerking, grinding, everything. She is making out with an oversized Barbie. She has giant bears. I don't even know! A girl cuts off fake fingers. There is this freakish computer generated white face, mask looking thing, I'm not even sure, my brain cannot comprehend the music video. And her lip syncing is just a touch off in parts of the video, but that happens in music videos. I'm not sure what I think of her anymore, I just, I'm so confused. I mean no hate to Miley but I'm completely grounded, she is so different from what I knew her to be.....
I like the song, it seems like a chill beat,something you can dance to. It's upbeat and fun. But the music video is simply so random. You can check it out on YouTube, it's on her Vivo channel, I'd link it but I'm on an iPad and I'd just screw something up.

Another song I have some issues with is Why I'm Single by Alli Simpson, Cody Simpsons little sister. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Cody, Alli seems really nice and everything but for some reason I don't like her all that much, I feel like its because just looking at her makes me feel bad about myself, haha. But again I like the song, it's a chill beat, something fun to dance to. It's upbeat and fun. The music video isn't crazy. The music video doesn't have much to do with the song though. It's basically her wearing different outfits and dancing around. And talking on a pink corded phone, which I really like. But one line I have an issue with is 'I show them my scars'. Personally when I hear this in a song I think of physical scars, if you understand what I'm saying. She means more along the lines of emotional scars, which are as important but I wish she would use a different line for this.  I know, it's something so trivial. Over all I like this song though, I keep listening to it and am starting to really like it. You can check this song out on Alli's YouTube channel SoAlli.

Overall I like both of these songs!! Please understand that. Sorry for the ranting. I just had to get that out. I couldn't handle it.  I so like both of the songs. This will probably be the only time I post about this kind of stuff. Have a good night!!
