I think it's only mildly shocking (to some people) in Miley's case because she is a former wholesome Disney child star. In reality, by being so outlandish, Miley is laying the foundations for her career as an adult.
I do think Stevie's right in one regard, though: Miley will be around for the long haul. She seems exceedingly bright, and I can tell she actually has some talent, too. People like Britney Spears who have come from a similar background have faded because they don't have any substance behind their antics. I think Miley does. And unlike Lindsay Lohan, she seems to be centered enough to not spin out of control. It'll be interesting to see what she has to say now that she's garnering the world's attention.

Britney Spears hasn't faded. Wasn't her last single with Will I Am number one? And her last album was a huge success... I mean, it's not 1998. But it's not as if she has faded into obscurity.
I think Miley knows what she's doing but I don't think she realizes the majority of the general public is laughing at her. I think she is bright but unfortunately I don't think she is all that self-aware, probably due to having been surrounded by yes men from the age of what, 11? And I say this as someone who has been a huge fan of Miley (actually, I worked on a set with her years ago.)
