– If you have no idea of the genre, then you probably shouldn't listen to this song –

WHAT A TRULY MORONIC THING TO SAY. IF SOMEONE IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE GENRE, I WOULD THINK THAT YOU WOULD ENCOURAGE (RATHER THAN DISCOURAGE) THEM TO LISTEN.

like the song. hate the comment about if you don't know the genre you probably should not be listening to it. perez thinks he is such a music enthusiast and knows so much. whatever, you suck perez.

I like the reference to Visage. She's aiming for "art" which is cute, but it's not as authentic as Stina Nordenstam (or other geniuses that everybody forgot). I shouldn't be commenting on just hearing one sing. I will probably try to look for more.

Very nice, We are getting some very talented women from the UK these last couple of years. Actually it seems as if women in general are starting to pick up steam in movies and music. I don't mind it, I am tired of colliding with these male egos all the time, to much arrogance for no reason at all. Time for women to bring the balance back.

Miley Cyrus Insists Alcohol Is 'Way More Dangerous' Than Weed! Shares Her New Priorities As An Adult & Artist!

Perhaps Amanda Bynes would have been better off giving Miley Cyrus her bong!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.

Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:

"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."

That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."

She added:

"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."

Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...

As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
