1. Hard to ignore 0.2% of world's population dominate US Media
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.13.13)
2. Miley Cyrus
judith bell ,   canada   (10.13.13)
She is not taking aim at the "Jews" No wonder non-Jews believe that Jews cry antisemitism too often. She is pointing out, rightly, that a girl her age has a better finger on the pulse than some old executive, sitting in his office. She mentioned Jewish because a lot of these guys are. If they were mostly WASP or Italian she would have said that. By mentioning ethnicity, she painted a more vivid picture. Slow news day?
3. Old fogies, trying to put music back in music industry
The Musician ,   Israel   (10.13.13)
can't fight the popularity of bathroom graffiti set to the beat of an African drum. Ahhh, that's bad, "dude". And they say that culture is deteriorating.
4. This is American culture circa 2013
(10.13.13)
It isn't a pretty picture.
5. Funny, 5 min. ago I was finally watching the "most famous"
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.13.13)
woman in the world to understand what the fuss is! She's struck me as not very attractive or sexy or genuine despite following some career executive's (old Jew probably) advice to be "provocative". So she's decided to take the Mel Gibson route...hmmm....? Will be interesting to watch her "progress" from now on. On the other hand, there's much more independence in the music industry nowadays, so who knows: a huge arena-show in Riyadh? In burka?
6. Beiber must be relieved...
Even Balance ,   Beit Yehoshua   (10.13.13)
...that Miley has shown-up to take the 'most air-headed young musician' prize from him.
7. MC - you are your own worst enemy
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (10.13.13)
You are self-destructing yourself. Even celebs like Sinead O'Connor and Annie Lennox say your style is over the top. Get back to just singing, put down some good songs, then start dancing again. My thoughts: you are trying too hard - maybe you are trying to top Madonna, but you can't, babe !
8. #2 - a better finger on the pulse
(10.13.13)
Bet she knows where her pulse is, and had many a sugar daddy along her way
9. #1
Jarvis ,   Joseph USA   (10.13.13)
MC needs a hug. The 0.2% percent of the world population are not the reason MC sucks. Plain and simple she is terrible. The Jews made her look like an ass? Its funny how those that make anti-Semitic rants do it to exploit controversy for their own personal financial gain. Stop giving immediate attention to these leaches. Overly sensitive Jews bite that bait every time. Crying anti-Semite at everything will back fire when no one else cares. Its a dead guilt trip for most.
10. I don't know what is worse, a bleached
lili   (10.13.13)
talentless singer or the music industry moguls who make fake promisses to idiot bleached girls.
11. #2:You're trying to make yourself denser than you really are
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.13.13)
If all she(MC) wanted to point out, was the age-discrepancy between executives & "Stars", don't you think "Old Farts" would've been more "vivid"? Really lady, what do you take us for?!
12. two words...
ej ,   tlv   (10.13.13)
train wreck
13. one race - the human race
bc ,   tallahassee, usa   (10.13.13)
This prejudice stems from parents neglecting to teach their children on the importance of one human race
14. #2 racist remark aside... the jews
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (10.13.13)
have been writing a lot of the pop hits for the last 50 years. Its no wonder that they are controlling the music industry. Especially, after discovering that writing a hit song lands you a few thousand dollars, while everyone else up the food chain including the brain dead singer reaps all the profit. So complain all you want, but fair is fair.
15. now she's done it...
oferdesade ,   israel   (10.13.13)
move over mel.
16. Stars" turning on those that made them
UngratefulRacists ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.13.13)
A very old story Jews in the entertainment business that made many many a star only to have those same people when they reach success turn on them an old story not only in entertainment but in world history as well by rulers and nations.
17. Who controls the music industry?
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (10.13.13)
Back then we had REAL music. Now it's controlled by violent, misogynist rappers.
18. (2) Judith from Canada
tiki ,   belgium   (10.13.13)
A nice try to put a spin on a 'simple girl without too much talent trying to get more ''momentum'' with the oldest selling trick in the world...... JEWS!
19. don't worry about her -
gingimax ,   istanbul, turkey   (10.13.13)
listen to the good music from the states; ty segall, black joe lewis, mac demarco (canada), foxygen, the allah-las. pop is dying...
20. She should team-up with Mel Gibson
Judd Rusnak ,   Sydney Australia   (10.13.13)
May be she should let Mel Gibson run he music career, may be she will do better by bashing Jews (As Mel did). Now Mel is out of work. I think that what will happen to her when she bites the hand that feeds her.
21. Miley ! You forgot your brain again !
(10.13.13)
22. Jews responsible for 90% of American song hits..
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (10.13.13)
23. # 4 Syria and Muslim massacres are faaar worse.
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.13.13)
not to mention 'honor killings and female mutilation....
24. # 6 LOL Are you serious or on drugs?
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.13.13)
or ' thrown up' air head.
25. One in a line
zznhl   (10.13.13)
what will be next?.....who really cares! Shes just one in a line of mediocre pop singers who tries to get ahead by using sex and provocation. She make a few million, and after 2-3 years fade into the background. In ten years people will be asking....“Remember her? Silly young thing!“.
26. #21...did she ever have a brain to forget????
benjy   (10.13.13)
27. Whatsaname?
Raoul ,   Herzliya Israel   (10.13.13)
Sorry, am over 70, so have forgotten who I was writing about! Who? Mily Cyrus? Never heard of her.
28. Miley Cyrus
h.s.cohen ,   N.Y.C.   (10.13.13)
She should be put in reform school. To late to just be spanked.
29. 20 y.o. "knows" clubs? yeah right.
mea   (10.13.13)
too bad she wasn't patient enough to work her way to the top (as if she could). Instead she took the short cut--trash.
30. And the test is: What if you say ... instead
Marcohoe ,   San Francisco, USA   (10.13.13)
And the test is: What if she had said "I'm not going to have a 70--year old Muslim man tell me ..." instead. Death threats? CD burnings? Condemnation by the media?
