  • 1.Theorists linked to Miley Cyrus We cant stop music video

2. Goodwin He believed that the lyrics and visuals must link, and I believe this video has aspects of this theory as the lyrics suggest a party that cant stop and lyrics such as its our party we can do what we want to match the visuals of odd events happening such as the close up showing somebody cutting off their fingers. 3. Fraser His theory suggests that star image plays an important role in music videos, and I believe that Miley has a presented herself with a new star image in this video as she was previously known as young, innocent Hannah Montana and this video shows a great contrast and shows how she has grown up. The shots where Miley is wearing sunglasses emphasise her star image and success, and her style such as the tight fitting, skimpy costumes may be inspiring to her fans. Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus now 4. Archer One of his ideas is that the music videos serve a role in advertising the artist, song and other products through synergy. This is present in the video as beats speakers are advertised at the beginning and eos lip balm is later on. Showing a popular artist using these products is great advertisement for the companies, and they will advertise Mileys music in return. 5. Dyer His idea was similar to Fraser about star image, and how a star must be ordinary yet extraordinary. The way in which Miley is shown beautifying herself, shows typical teenage girl behaviour and this allows her to appear as ordinary, but other aspects of the video show her as an extraordinary character such as dancing with the huge teddy bears or carrying the stuffed animals. 6. Adorno The video supports his theory of people devoting their time and care on media and social medias through the shot of Miley twerking as this has recently become an internet craze through videos on social networks and YouTube, and as this is represented in the video, it shows that people will understand it as they worry about media more than real issues.
