Miley Cyrus released an official video for her single "Who Owns My Heart" in October of 2010. The song is a cut off of Cyrus' 2010 album Can't Be Tamed.
WHO OWNES MY HEART
Within days of its release, the video had come under fire from the Parents Television Council for being too racy. Parents Television Council President Tim Winter was quoted by the celebrity gossip blog TMZ.com as saying, "It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one." Who Owns My Heart Video" "sends messages to her fan base that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point." Whether this is envelope-pushing or not depends on your frame of reference. Compared to most other dance-pop videos, it's standard fare, if not downright tame. Compared to the videos being put out by other underage girls and/or stars who still have sitcoms running on the Disney Channel, it's provocative. Hollywood Life, the site run by former tabloid queen Bonnie Fuller, recently ran a story allegedly quoting a "Cyrus family insider" as saying, "We're concerned for her. She's 17 years old, but is the one who makes the money and calls all the shots in the family. No one tells Miley no." Fuller wrote a separate editorial noting how Cyrus has been seen partying into the wee hours in clubs she can't legally enter, and addressed Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus directly: "Your daughter may be a big star but she's still your little girl and that means you need to be her parents." So far, Cyrus' image change has been a bust, at least when it comes to affecting her music career. Of course, she's only one smash single away from having a chart comeback and having her accelerated maturation perceived as a brilliant career move. The problem is, the smash single that will turn it back around for her probably isn't "Who Owns My Heart," and probably isn't anywhere else on the Can't Be Tamed album.
