Raged Miley Cyrus Fans

I'm sure by now all of us have heard of Miley Cyrus by now (that is unless you live under a rock), and all of her (to say the least) fascinating changes since she's removed herself from her previous show/act of Hannah Montana. Since, she has showed up in many articles and conversations concerning her complete transformation, but one thing that isn't so much on the headlines is stories of her extremely crazed fan. Well, in contrast with that, I recently found an article pertaining to one of Cyrus's fans sneaking backstage as a cleaner during a show ( http://www.eonline.com/news/589998/miley-cyrus-fan-sneaks-backstage-at-singer-s-concert-dressed-as-a-cleaner). This raised a thought that I think many of us have wondered about at least a few times before.

Towards the beginning of Cryus's change a lot of us looked at her as too "out there", just too much of a leap from innocent teen to raged adult. Instead of following her, many of us rejected her behavior, saying that it just wasn't appropriate and that it was totally against everything she originally said she believed in. We even went as far as making short clipped video's of Cyrus stating that she wouldn't do (such as drugs) then, that cut into pictures of her doing such things now. What I don't understand is why over the course of the last year many changed their minds and followed her and continued being her fans.

If you ask people, many of Cyrus's fans will tell you that they love her because "She isn't afraid to be herself, no matter who is watching", but my question in return is, How? How does someone change that much within a span of a few months. I mean, she went from an engagement with a very flattering co star we worked with in her film The Last Song and a sturdy fan base, to a break off in the engagement and  a not so stable fan base within a very short period of time. She has gone against everything she preached to young kids in her younger years. She used to be such a respectable person for people of all ages to look up to, and what has she turned into? How are you supposed to find a person that rides hot dogs half naked smoking weed attractive and respectable? In my opinion, she took the adult role of a performer a little to far, because I can guarantee you no respectable adult would ever think of doing half the things she's done.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Miley Cyrus's and I do believe there is still a good person somewhere in there, because that person still shows up once in a while. I feel as if over the passed month or two she has calmed down a little bit and has been trying to change her image a little bit, which is good, because  I don't think that if she continues to do what she did/does that many people would stick around.

Grey's Anatomy

Since I was a child I have watched Grey's Anatomy (as I'm sure many others have) and have continued to be amazed at the work of the television series and how it continues to lay out. Recently there was an article posted about a specific recent show aired, about why many of Grey's viewers are giving the specific show a side eye (http://www.eonline.com/news/589338/why-we-re-giving-tonight-s-grey-s-anatomy-a-lot-of-side-eye-our-rants-and-raves). Many are enraged about the outcome of the revealing of Meredith's past, accusing it to not make sense. In my opinion however, it as just another factor in being a television show.

So many seem to not understand why Meredith supposedly just remembered her mom giving birth to this supposed child and then giving it up until now, but if they were willing to look at the bigger picture of the series itself, they would draw a better understanding. Repetitively in this show different members of the cast face obstacles the often times find to hard to bare, and so instead they embody it and try their best to ignore their knowledge of the situation, much like what happens in real life. In my opinion this was a rough time in Meredith's life and instead of  providing the situation some closure, she decided to hide it in hopes of never having to face the situation at all. In return, considering this is a television show, it was the main source of the viewers interests, it drew people in, which is what many television series strive to achieve. I feel that all of these issues were factors of the show, and other viewers disappointment is rather unnecessary.

These sort of situations have appeared countless other times in the show, and the answer/reasoning behind one's problem is the revealed later on.  Although other people may have hoped for a better outcome or answer, considering the wait and suspension in the whole situation, they shouldn't be near as upset, as it does correspond with many of the other situations represented on the show. I wouldn't worry to much though (being someone who often watches the show myself) I'm sure that one episode gone wrong won't convince it's viewers of many years to not tune in again next week.

How to Get Away With Murder

Recently a new article has sparked the interest of many of it's viewers consisting of the new television series How to Get Away With Murder, (http://www.eonline.com/news/589441/how-to-get-away-with-murder-is-changing-tv) and I for one am one of those people. The new series is proclaimed to changing TV as we know it, and this exciting statement (in my eyes) couldn't be any more true.

I portray this series as a show about a group of college students that partake in a class about law and end up getting themselves dug into a deeper hole than they ever expected. Viewers such as myself get sucked into a series of different murder cases that they are all supposed to help the attorney (their aw teacher) solve. Throughout the show I as a viewer have been able to form many of my own outlooks and opinions on the cases in the show based on the evidence provided and in turn get to watch the rest of the mystery unfold as they continue on to reveal the truth. I believe that this in many ways is the reason this show is in fact considered to be changing TV as we know it. The excitment of getting to form your own opinion on a case and really bringing not just the cast in but the viewers as well to solve such mysteries is quite intriguing.

There's is a highlighted case in the show that seems to be sticking around as all the others fade away, as this particular case involves many of the main characters. Flash forwards of the case are presented in every show and give an insight and another clue as to what is going on and who in fact is to blame in this case. My friends and I often find ourselves talking about the show on our free time, quite often more than we have any other show at any other given time. I agree with this article that this new series presented to the public is in fact swaying the it's audiences opinions on the quality of other shows based on this one. I myself, since watching this show, have never been as satisfied with other murder mystery shows as I have this one. This is in fact the source of the change of the way we watch TV. It is incredible to me just how fascinating a show be, fascinating enough to be able to take one show and change its audiences opinions on everything. Now that my friends is powerful beyond belief.

Bruce and Kris Jenner

I'm sure by now many have at least glanced at the popular television series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and in it have been able to get at least a slight taste of the relationship between Bruce and Kris Jenner. Their "high drama" relationship pulled many viewers in as it pulled the family apart.  Recently in the news headlines a new story has come out about if Bruce Jenner is in fact dating one of Kris Jenners best friends now that his and Kris's relationship has been terminated (http://www.eonline.com/news/589596/is-bruce-jenner-dating-kris-jenner-s-best-friend-find-out). In my opinion, I just don't see why we cant let it be.

Every viewer of the Kardashian show must know of the drama and tension between Kris and Bruce during and after their relationship, and I'm sure talk amongst social media and the press didn't help. I believe that it is/never was any outside sources business to use their two  cents in about the relationship itself considering the issues it cost. Yes, it is a reality television show and yes, they must know that part of partaking in it is the lack of privacy from other parties, but that doesn't mean others thrown in opinions of the situation didn't cause more stress and drama on the relationship than necessarily needed. The mutual agreement of the divorce and deciding to live separably after the divorce had to be hard enough after raising a family together (despite the many issues and complications involved) but the constant stream of others opinions slashing into the situation had to take a toll on the two as well.

This new article specifically stated that the two agreed they were living happily and more content on their own, and that they had come to be at peace with the situation, so I don't understand why we have to continue to make a big deal out of it. After years of arguing and hashing complicated situations out, they have finally come to be at peace with the situation and it's outcome, so why do we have to continue to fuel the fire?
