Miley Cyrus sings about undressing

Being one of the most popular teen stars around, Miley Cyrus is no stranger to being the subject of controversy.

She has been slammed for posing in a Vanity Fair photoshoot which some deemed as too risqué for a 17-year-old. Next, her act of gyrating around a pole on an ice-cream cart at the Teen Choice Awards sparked off fresh controversies.

The latest controversy surrounding her stemmed from the new track she recorded with rocker Bret Michaels.

The rock country number, titled Nothing to Lose, consists of this line of lyric: “We both know better than this/Still we can't resist/Slowly get undressed”.

While many expressed that it is inappropriate for the 17-year-old to sing about stripping, Michaels, who is also the frontman for American glam rock band Poison, thinks that people are merely making a mountain out of a molehill.

Describing this as being “blown out of proportion”, he said his mobile phone inbox has been bombed with texts asking him about it, since the controversy was first reported.

Michaels, 46, said, “ I was like, 'What the f*** is going on?' Everyone's going nuts!”

“As God is my witness, there is nothing I have to be defensive about ... I just thought it was a beautiful song,” he said.

The single, penned years ago by Michaels, caught Cyrus’ fancy when he played it for her, he explained. And from there began this collaboration between the pop princess and the rocker.

On the other hand, though she has yet to respond to this, what Cyrus told MTV earlier on might offer some insight to what she thinks.

The Disney darling said she should not be blamed for how her fans act, even if she is one of the most influential teen stars these days.

“Everything is so dramatic in the world. My job is to be a role model, and that's what I want to do, but my job isn't to be a parent.

“My job isn't to tell your kids how to act or how not to act, because I'm still figuring that out for myself. So to take that away from me is a bit selfish.

“Your kids are going to make mistakes whether I do or not. That's just life,” she said.
