Voyeurism

Voyeurism
In this video Miley Cyrus is objectified through various different camera angles and close up shots. The video is meant to be outrageous and grab the audience (specifically male) attention and therefore shows off Miley Cyrus' body in a seductive way by focusing on provocative areas of her body. Through her performance Miley Cyrus also arouses the male audiences attention, by licking a sledgehammer. The clothes she wears are seductive and there are moments in the video where she is nude, however through the camerawork the she is still partially covered up.

Noel Gallagher: Oasis/Noel Gallagher's high flying birds:

Is seen as out spoken and as to have a rock on roll attitude:
  • In an interview with the observer in 1995, Noel said that he hoped Damon Albarn, member of rival group Blur, would ''catch Aids and die.'' However he has since retracted his statement.
  • Told BBC Radio 1 that taking drugs is like ''having a cup of tea.''
  • Is seen as being honest in interviews and will say what he thinks people. For example he calls Robbie Williams a ''fat dancer from Take That''
Has appeared in documentaries of Oasis and their albums, showing his importance in the music industry.
Has appeared in more personal interview shows such as Michael Parkinson.

Has claimed that he doesn't need twitter although he has an account, which updates his fans on his whereabouts and his involvement with the business.
Whilst in Oasis he was regularly in the tabloids, he made headlines for trashing hotel rooms, taking drugs, getting into fights onstage, again reiterates his rock and roll attitude.
Has appeared in Various magazine covers such as Q magazine, NME and Rolling Stone, where he gives interviews
Was part of the New Labour campaign of 1998, which showed him to be different to other musicians as well as showing his importance in society.
Has shown himself to be a Manchester City fan, sharing a common interest of football with many of his fans.
Has made appearances on chat shows such as Graham Norton and Jonathon Ross in recent years.
Regularly makes appearances on talk sport as has interviews for BBC Sport and Sky Sports.
In recent years he has shown himself to still say what he thinks, however he is now more subdued, due to his age and other factors. Through his experience he has gained more respect and is viewed as one of the most important musicians of his generation, therefore his comments, views and opinions have a bigger effect and attract more media. For example, in October 2013 his comments on One Direction made news and attracted serious media attention.
