People in the blogosphere are freaking out because while singing gargling out her song “7 Things” in Louisville, Miley Cyrus appears to change the lyrics from “You’re game” to “You’re gay.”
Listen to the clip: I can’t figure out if she’s intentionally saying “gay,” or if the strangled way she sings just makes the end of the word “game” drop off.
What do you think? Do you think it’s wrong if she said “gay?”
Tell ‘em, Hilary!
guest
Stop stretching the matter for God’s sake. Maybe it was just accidental. What kind of idiot would intentionally try to lose any kind of fan base?
guest
@TequilaKisses@xanga - What the hell, she can “stretch the matter” if she wants too.
guest
She probably didn’t say gay. She probably lost the end of the word from lack of breath because of all those head flips. Jeez! That girl is gonna get whiplash! When you say ‘game’ and forget the ‘m’ it sounds like ’gay’. Not a big deal.. Gay means happy too. She could be saying ‘your happy’.
guest
@TequilaKisses@xanga - (I don’t think she’s intelligent enough to realize that this would cost her fans to begin with.)
If you listen to the clip, I think it’s pretty apparent that she’s not trying to be offensive – she just can’t speak (and hence, cannot sing either).
So moral of the story: Miley fails either way.
Yaaay for crappy music…
…And not wearing pants on stage…what the hell was she thinking?

It was probably accidental.

hey if they can change gay from meaning “happy” to “one who lusts after their own flesh” than I don’t see why we can’t change it’s meaning to “stupid”

and she probably does use gay as an insult (as all other

@coffeeishappinessinacup@xanga - hahahha “lusting after your own flesh?” really?
guest
@coffeeishappinessinacup@xanga - It’s highly offensive, that’s why. If someone throws “gay” into a conversation, it gets so easily passed off as nonchalant slang. But if someone began to substitute “stupid” with something like – oh, I don’t know – “straight” or “hetero,” I can guarantee you that all hell would break loose.
Double standards really piss me off.

Lol, we live in a free country…don’t we? She should be allowed to say whatever she wants! If singers can sing about drugs, sex, and murder then why the hell should Miley take ANY heat from possibly…maybe…we don’t know whether she did or not..almost saying, “You’re vain, you’re gay,” in one of her songs? Loosen up! Maybe people shouldn’t get so offended and bent out of shape so damn easily, lol… Don’t take everythink so personally!
rose / 807 posts
it sounds like it was unintentional. really tho, it’s part of the word game and it’s kind of a quick song. It’s not right if she said it on purpose but I won’t kill the girl for it. It’s all about context. :/
dahlia / 2747 posts
she ran out of breath? like i’m not a fan of miley by any means at all, but this is mad nitpicky.
guest
Who really cares? She can say it if she wants. Being gay isn’t right, AT ALL.
sunflower / 329 posts
@LiquidityOfSelf@xanga - It shouldn’t be offensive. I don’t understand why people feel like they are always under attack…when really, I doubt people even think about the fact that they are gay nearly as much as they think other people do in the first place. I’m straight, so what…you can say that something is straight as a sub for saying something is stupid if you want to. I wouldn’t get pissed, because frankly…your opinion doesn’t matter enough. Also, I think that I’d probably laugh about it a little. That’s what people need to do, just let things roll off instead of getting SO upset about something to insignificant.
guest
@LauraG0929@xanga - amen to that.
guest
Gay and Game have the same linguistic beginnings, you can’t scream the m sound in game. She probably slipped. . .
Sidenote: She looks ugly singing like that. >.>
guest
i honestly dont care if she uses gay as an insult. i mean tons of people do that even gay people do so i dont see why we care anymore it is gay
guest
@TequilaKisses@xanga - when it comes to miley, i dont shes intentionally trying to lose her audience, but actions speak louder than the words her songwriters write for her… on many occasions she’s shown her true age and ignorance.
orchid / 155 posts
Not a Miley fan, but I can’t imagine her saying ‘gay’ as an insult on purpose. It just doesn’t seem appropriate, and with all the criticism she gets it doesn’t just seem plausible.
guest
Why should it matter? She’s just another disney star turned pop robot, who will probably lose her moment in the spotlight in about a year or so. Unless she makes a sex tape.. let’s hope she doesn’t.
orchid / 155 posts
@iseetheworldinhiseyes19@xanga - that wasn’t a relevant comment. The question was about Miley Cyrus using ‘gay’ as an insult, not if being gay is right or not. I recommend you keep your views out of where they don’t belong, as it’s very obviously insulting to some people.
guest
@tinyxballerinax3@xanga - Of course she can, but the matter is so minor that it shouldn’t have been stretched at all.
@LiquidityOfSelf@xanga - Well, we don’t know that yet. And it sounds like she just lost her breath right there. I don’t like her either, I’m just trying to be unbiased. I guess, we’ll have to wait and see what her manager has to say later
@Delia712@xanga - To each of their own, I guess. I just think that the word “gay” is so commonly used to describe something as bad, ugly, fugly, stupid etc… that it can be accidentallty flipped out anytime even though we don’t like it.
guest
@CuriousiTea@xanga - I recommend you minding your own business. I have the freedom of writing whatever I want on Xanga. Many people write about what my comment pertained to every single day. People are insulted everyday, it’s not normal for them to be that way, so they have it coming.
guest
@TequilaKisses@xanga - Haha, I know right? I’m sure he’ll come up with something interesting…
@LauraG0929@xanga - It shouldn’t even be SAID – I’m actually really curious as to where it’s roots began – who started subbing “gay” for “stupid” in the first place? I really do detest the intolerance it conveys. Lawsuits and edginess wouldn’t be necessary if the people themselves simply stopped using that phraseology – it’s sad that it even exists, you know?
guest
I hate miley cyrus, but honestly, who cares?
guest
fucking really? i hate miley cyrus with a passion, but i think she was just singing a little crazy. i heard this and didnt think twice about it, sounded like game. and i would be the first person to point out her flaws because i feel like she is the epitome of declining culture and a terrible role model for children. but cmon.
and when it comes to using gay as an insult, i think its getting out of hand how much people freak out about it. when its said its not (usually) used comparing a gay person to something you think is stupid. i know many gay people who use this term.
also, not saying gay should be used as an insult, but do you people who are so against the use of ‘gay’ use the word retarded in your statements? because thats just as bad, if not worse, than using gay.
orchid / 155 posts
@iseetheworldinhiseyes19@xanga -
You are entitled to your views, just not where they are irrelevant.
I just don’t understand how one human being could hate another so much. It upsets me, because I love peace and when people are accepting and get along. I find it disheartening to know that there are people in the world that have so much hate in their hearts for other people.
And yeah, a lot of people write about it in their blogs. However, this blog does not pertain to it in ways you’re speaking of it, and I find it extremely inappropriate that you would try to use it as a vehicle to put in your two cents on something vaguely mentioned.
guest
No, I’m entitled to my views anywhere I want. I never once said that I hated gays, did I? I said it wasn’t normal, it wasn’t right. Don’t put words in my mouth.
guest
@AznFier@xanga - I think she always looks constipated when she sings. Doesn’t she???
guest
The word gay used to mean “happy”…so, I don’t see what the big deal is…calm down guys, she probably mean you are HAPPY. Isn’t that a GOOD thing?
guest
It sounds like she was out of breath, I doubt it was intentional…
guest
…I’d rather read posts about why Megan Fox is the devil, makes me feel insecure, or is ugly.
guest
Hilary > Miley.
guest
Why are so many people bashing Miley for something she might have said, but no one bashed Taylor Swift when she sang Picture to Burn? ” So go & tell your friends that I’m obsessive & crazy, that’s find I’ll tell mines you’re gay. … ” Does that sound like an insult ?

OMG SHUT UP, YOU AND YOUR POST IS “GAY” STOP INSTIGATING…DAMN MAAANNN
ANYONE WHO MAKES A POST ABOUT MILEY FOR NOW ON IM TELLING U IMMA JUST COMMENT SAYING “SHUT UP” CUZ NOW EVERY DAMN THING THAT SHE COMES OUT WITH IT SEEMS TO HIT THE FRONT LINES OF XANGA. LET IT HIT THE NEWS FIRST FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

there’s a thing called FREEDOM OF SPEECH, dudes. chill outtt.

considering the context of the song, I think I’d hate it if a guy I was in love with was gay. just sayin

omg, like it even matters. people need to get over miley. she’s sixteen. when your sixteen i’m sure you weren’t politically correct.
daisy / 630 posts
@iseetheworldinhiseyes19@xanga - that’s a pretty bold thing to say, and wasn’t really related to this post at all. It wasn’t asking if you thought being gay was right, or anything like that.
guest
Good grief, chill out people. She said “GAME.” You can’t hear it too well because it’s a concert. Jeez.
guest
@bittersweetSarah@xanga - wow good point! Even if she did say “gay” it would be appropriate.
guest
everyone knows no one uses the word ‘gay’ to describe clothes.
guest
Who honestly cares?! If she wants to use “gay” as an insult, let her! If people really have nothing better to do than critique the way celebs act than thats sad. No, actually, you know what? Thats gay! People are too pc these days. I’m quitee sick of it.
guest
iono it was hard to tell…
guest
i mean it’s annoying. obviously using someones identity as an insult is never okay.
guest
It doesn’t sound like it.
Why haven’t more people commented on her headbanging thing?
guest
the lyrics are,”youre vain, your games, youre insecure..”
chill the fuck out people.
guest
I don’t like her, but she can say any word she likes. Hell the music I like has some “bad words” but it will still rock your fucking face off.
guest
she’s definitely saying “you’re game” she just sucks at talking so it’s whatever
guest
miley is a telentless hack.
but i don’t think she intentionally meant to say it.
guest
I don’t like the word gay being used as an insult, but I think a lot of people have done it, including me. Everyone’s only freaking out about it because it’s Miley Cyrus. She shouldn’t say it because she needs to be a role model but maybe she was out of breath and couldn’t get the “me” sound out?
guest
@LiquidityOfSelf@xanga - I think that, from now on, I’m going to replace the word “gay” with the word “hetoro” in my vocabulary, just for shits and giggles, and because I’m curious as to what will actually happen.
guest
@LauraG0929@xanga - Yeah, we should probably make n***** a common word too because I’m sure African Americans aren’t offended by that at all.
Really? Wow. It’s not a personal attack, it’s an attack on an entire group of people, which seems worse. And the fact that gay is casually used to replace stupid saddens me. It’s just like saying faggot to insult someone. I had a friend that did that once and I told her it was offensive and she asked me why and when I told her it was an insult to gay people she didn’t believe me.
This generation is narrow minded and selfish. It’s disturbing.
guest
I couldn’t honestly understand a damn word she said…wtf?
guest
@coffeeishappinessinacup@xanga - the meaning didn’t change. like many other English words, it simply has multiple meanings. “stupid” isn’t listed as a definiton in the dictionary as far as I have seen, unless maybe you use Urban Dictionary.
guest
First off, its obvious she isn’t saying gay and trying to insult anyone at all.
Second off, like others have mentioned, even if she did say gay, it’d fit the lyrics. I mean, hell, she’s listing the reasons she shouldn’t like this guy…I think gay would be at the top of my list.
Third, to all those people saying that if we used “straight” as an insult the world would end, uh, I know people all the time that say “straight” in the same context as sayings “thats gay.” Hell, people at my mom’s work do that! And people talk about the meaning changing..well, how did it change from “happy” to “homosexual?”
guest
its just like when katy perry said the word gay in her song
i dont think its a big deal, its slang and used as an expression
guest
@Soul_Pizza@xanga - Haha, I would LOVE to see the looks that you get
guest
i think you’ve got nothing better to do.
guest
UGH…who cares??!
guest
She might have. Who cares, she’s an idiot.
guest
Like some people are saying, I think it was just an accident to, but I don’t know!
guest
I don’t think I care if she said gay or not, she probably didn’t even think about it…and that’s just another way to make people talk about her. But why the hell is she dancing like that…and with that clothes on she doesn’t look exactly like the teen she is…eeek =/
guest
WOO LOUISVILLE!
my home town
guest
I loathe Miley Cyrus with a passion, but I actually think she just ran out of breathe here.
guest
It was probably an accident and if it wasn’t, who gives a shit?
guest
Worst live performance EVAR. Couldn’t tell what the hell she was saying. She’s could’ve been throwing in racial slurs and terrorist threats, for all I know. Less head-swinging, more English please.
guest
This is RIDICULOUS. Obviously she was not trying to say the word “gay,” that makes absolutely no sense. Just because it seems like most of the people on Xanga hate Miley, doesn’t mean we need to take it this far. Come on now.
guest
It was most likely an accident.
She probably ran out of breath cause she’s singing through her nose. :3
guest
@LauraG0929@xanga - Yup, I agree!
guest
I think it’s hard to tell with a person who can’t sing worth their pay and with such poor audio quality.
guest
Hahaha this post made me laugh
guest
hahahahahhahahah!
oh man. i actually think it’s really funny.
she obviously isn’t using ‘gay’ as an insult intentionally and if she is, get over it. 99% of the population uses it, stop being such sensitive sallies.

Sounds like gay to me. What’s with the head banging, she trying to be “hardcore”? god that girl drives me nuts, anyone watch family guy last night? I wish it were true and she’d be dead.
guest
This topic is gay
Nah but seriously Miley uis a good person. And still just a kid really. Even is she did, big deal. The people attacking her are worse people for attacking than she would be for saying it.
guest
This is honestly obsessive. It wasn’t like she was screaming out obscenities directed towards homosexuals. It’s not that big of a deal.
guest
SERIOUSLY. has nobody ever heard of a homonym???? wtf…when you say gay..it also means happy. so does that mean all gays are happy? no. Half of my family is gay and if they take it offensively then thats their problem. Maybe they need to be more secure with themselves. I dont have gay people in mind when i say “thats gay”. I could really care less if someone is gay. go for it! do what makes you happy! So what if miley said it or not. quit being so defensive.

Um..if her “boyfriend”in the song WAS gay, i think that would be enough reason to break up with him. And that’s what the song is about…the 7 things she hates about him are things that she doesn’t like in a boyfriend.
okay that didnt make sense. this doesnt matter anyways, its miley cyrus.
guest
Wow, if there was ever asking for a flame war, it’s this post.
guest
I don’t even care, let people talk however they want. If it effects you, then you’re weak.
guest
i think she was just struggling on her pre written words.
guest
That was defiantly “game”. And if you haven’t noticed “gay” and “game” both start with a ‘ga’ and sometimes diction is lost when you’re singing.
Diction is done with the tip of the tongue and the teeth.
Stop trying to take things out of context people.
guest
ummmm. i say gay to call people stupid all the time. they know what i mean.
It’s not like i’m saying. you such a fag homo. that would be insulting.
I say gay and i’m going to continue to say that. And i’m a lesbian by the way. (:
So i’m not insulted. The only way you’re insulted by it is if you’re insecure about your sexuality.
guest
HAAAAAAAA! miley is an idiot. She probably did mean it in an insulting way. She mocks almost everything, remember the Chinese face thing? Yeh, people didn’t think that was ‘stretched’ now did they. I really don’t see why she’s still famous. She’s as worthless as they get. And a big fat LOL at her preformance XD wtf is she doing? that’s not even singing.
Anyway, miley is an idiot, can’t blame her, she’s just a slut who obviously never got any proper education, with her parents being busy exploiting her and making money. miley is bound to be found dead in the gutter raped and then all the little kids will be free from her demonic whore spell!
As for Hilary Duff, YOU GO GIRL! Now SHE was a true role model to kids, i grew up with her shows, amazing! I couldn’t last 5 minutes ( i’m not over reacting) watching Hanna montanna. Atleast Hilary wasn’t running around like a coked up hooker dancing on stripper poles when she was mileys age.
guest
Personally, I hope she was intentionally saying “gay”
rose / 781 posts
Seriously she sings so bad. And it does sound like she is saying gay, but I don’t know.
guest
Frankly I don’t care. Whether she said it or not, we can’t change it. It’s already happened. Over.
guest
@LiquidityOfSelf@xanga - I’m pretty sure that there’s a song entitled Cheap and Cheerfull equating “straight” to boring, prude-ish, goodytwoshoes, anal. Basically using “straight” in a negative way and I haven’t heard anyone give a hoot about it.
Maybe because doing so would be too un PC and theatening of free speech.
I don’t like double standards either.
guest
@noree_n@xanga - haha, yeah if he was gay then I would break up with him. It’s giving him freedom and even if she hates him, it would be the most loving thing to do.

Can someone give her singing lessons?

She definitely said GAME .
guest
what the heck?! I guess I could care less what miley is saying considering she is 16 and dressed like a gogo dancer with her legs spread, throwing her hair around as if she’s giving a lap dance. How disturbing.
guest
they basically sound the same… and when she’s singing live its hard to enunciate every word.
if anyone is really mad about this, they’re an idiot.
guest
Here’s the real question: what’s the big deal?
guest
If people can through around “gay” as an insult, I don’t feel bad when I call the black chick who cut me off a nigger or the Chinese woman who annoys me at the bank a “chink.”
Bottom line: If “gay” is okay, then all of the other insulting words should be okay. All or nothing. No double standards.
sunflower / 480 posts
wow talk about stretching the truth. when you’re singing on stage and swinging your head around, you tend to lose your breath and words blend together or trail off. geez people. her lyrics are “you’re vain, your games, you’re insecure….”
guest
it’s probably just accidental. chills out
sunflower / 286 posts
Must people always have to be bitching about everything she does? I’m by no means a true Miley fan or anything like that, but I think the girl gets more scrutinized than she should be. Give the girl a break. So, she made a mistake. Oh well. It’s not the first time someone has. Also, as much as I agree with the idea that people should not use “gay” as a word for something that is bad, people should stop being so hypersensitive about it. The English language has so many words that have taken so many different meanings that sometimes it’s hard to keep track of what we all are really saying… Just my opinon; take it, or leave it.
guest
Lol. Just lol.
guest
i know im a guy who is 21, but i must say leave the girl alone. she has good music and cares about her fans, she would never do anything to lose fans..which is why she did not take the 1 million dollar deal for a condom commercial.
guest
And seriously you guys are just mad, she makes more money than you..
guest
I use gay as an insult ALL THE TIME.
I have lots of homosexual friends too, and they use it just as much as I do. It only matters if you’re easily offended and seriously, chill out it’s not like she actually is making fun of homosexual people.
that would be an understandable thing to blog about, but people who seriously watch her videos and look for something to bitch about has WAY too much time on their hands.
daffodil / 1569 posts
@LoveofChristaddict@xanga - that song is by The Kills! They’re an amazing band, gender politics or not
guest
yeah, she’s definetly saying gay.
guest
Just sounds like a slur.. not a purposeful thing.. maybe some guy she went out with was gay or something.
daisy / 556 posts
I think it was either an accident or maybe she really just said it in a way that made the end of the word “game” drop off like you suggested.
However, if she did it on purpose, it shouldn’t surprise anyone. She’s a teenager and most teenagers do use the word “gay” as saying something is lame or bad. And while it is insulting and it isn’t something someone should do, she’s not the first teenager to do it if she did. And she probably does when she’s just talking with her friends alone and nobody else is around.
And yes, I know. She’s an entertainer and a role model to young girls, and she shouldn’t be promoting the use of such a word in such an insensitive way. However, truthfully, it doesn’t help or hurt that she said it. Mostly because, kids have been saying it for a lot longer than I’ve ever heard of her. If we’re going to get outraged that she did it, we are going to have to get outraged about every single kid, famous or just the kid next door, does it and we’d have to speak out against them too. No, they aren’t famous. But, a child’s peers have just as much of an impact on what they say and how they act and how they view issues as a famous role model does.
Do I think its right if she said it on purpose? No. But, like I said, if we’re gonna make an issue out of it, we have to make sure to speak out loudly to each and every kid that does it, individually, whenever we hear it, or to their parents, too. Because, while its insensitive and rude and insulting for her to say it, especially while singing, if she did so intentionally, I don’t think its going to cause the word “gay” to be used in that context any more often. Just like if she hadn’t said it, it wouldn’t make it any less popular to say it.
Considering how many people rag on her for every tiny little thing she does, though, it doesn’t surprise me and shouldn’t surprise anybody else when she does something unpopular or something that practically everyone might deem as inappropriate. :p
guest
To me, it sounded like a mess up of words so accidental rather than intentional.
People need to get over it, anyway. It’s so ridiculous how people get so upset over the different meanings of words all the time. The term “gay” used to mean happy, rather than a sexual orientation.
daisy / 661 posts
i think it unintentionally sounded like she said gay when she was flailing around up on stage amidst her sad attempt at head banging ( if that’s what it was )
guest
i was at the show, she was noticeably losing her voice… so i’m pretty sure she didn’t mean gay.
guest
Its always hard to tell what people are saying (or singing, whatever) at live shows, so I don’t know really, but when you’re with Disney, you’re supposed to be good little robots, so I highly doubt it.
guest
First of all, people need to find better things to do than scrutinize and pick on a 16y/o girl constantly. Second, if we want to stop insulting the gay community by using “gay” to mean “stupid,” maybe we should just take it back to its original meaning. Words are worthless until we give them meaning and importance.
guest
I had to listen to it a few times to hear gay. I wouldn’t have noticed it if no one had said anything about it, but then again I wouldn’t be looking for it. Nor would I be at a hannah montana concert.
When I go to concerts everything they sing sounds a little distorted..they are sweating and jumping and out of breath, that’s kind of the point. Plus they are usually stoned.
She looked like her head was about to fall off, actually.
I don’t think she would be stupid enough to do that intentionally. She knows how much shit she would get for it, she’s in Hollywood.
…and what are we gonna do if Hannah Montana did say gay, anyway? Write her letters and boycott her concerts? OHHH NOOOO!!
guest
She’s out of breath, did you see what the hell she was doing? Anyone would mispronounce words after doing all that. =/
guest
she says gay, but I am sure she didn’t mean too. Cut her some slack.
guest
Hillary Duff needs to drink a Cyanide Smoothy.
guest
people need to cut her some slack, she’s 16 for God’s sake and people do stutter or mess up when they talk / sing.

um okay… what about katy perry’s song “ur so gay”?
guest
@LoveofChristaddict@xanga - If the song was on the radio station or got some publicity, I would love to see the response it would get…it would be very revealing
guest
@LiquidityOfSelf@xanga - It’s actually by the Kills and has been featured on several TV shows including HOUSE in that lesbian hook up scene, as well as a recent episode of 90210.
I’m pretty sure it’s on the radio everywhere and I haven’t heard anyone say anything about it.
guest
@Jessica - Thanks! Yeah, I like their sound. I’m always getting band names mixed up, and both them and the Killers are on my ipod a lot and it’s not like I check the artist name while driving. haha.

@LoveofChristaddict@xanga - Then I’m very disappointed in the American public
guest
This whole thing is just so… gay. (as in, dumb.)
guest
i definitely hear gay, but it was probably an accident, idk.
guest
The fad of saying, “That’s so gay” [or its illiterate equivalent, "That's so ghey"] has been something that has irritated the living hell out of me for quite a time. Then, I read the story of Eleven-year-old Jaheem Herrera, dead by suicide. I figured it was time to speak out and wrote back in April. I’ve also been the annoying one in parties who corrects these “figures of speech”.
Now, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana and “most” current Disney brats irritate me in general – I’ll make no bones about saying that much. What did her song say? I have no clue, but her bouncing about the stage, and the tendencies of most lesser-skilled musicians of blurring their enunciation naturally makes the confusion easy to make.
I believe that neither she nor her contractual agreements, nor her father’s contractual agreements, would allow for such a potentially dividing statement to be sung.
That aside – drop any other potentially dividing word into place – one of denigration to any other race, color, religion, or nationality – and you’d initially begin with a startled moment, then a flinch, and, over a period of time, it would wear on you.
Just a matter of manners. Racial stereotypes are slowly being eradicated from the daily lexicon – quite slowly – there is rarely heard the racial slur for jerry-rigging machinery together, nor the nationality – based slur for lowering a given price down, nor more than a dozen others: this is the generation that has seen the end of much of those.
Just another fad that needs to fade, fast…

I originally thought she was saying GAY, but she’s saying “You’re vain, your games, you’re insecure.”

I would call it accidental. And even if it wasn’t, it’s really not pronounced enough to worry about. As much as I dislike Miley Cyrus, this issue really isn’t reason enough to freak out over.

Maybe the boy she is singing about is actually “gay”…like he likes other boys.
xD
It’s really not a big deal. I think people have been desensitized to it.
And who the hell takes advice from Hilary Duff of all people….

gay is slang for a lot of things…. including homosexual so how can you get mad if slang is being used improperly because it’s improper in the first place. It’s like getting uspet that f*cked is being used to mean both sex and messed up… among other things
and I have heard poeple use hetro to imply boring before…
