Billy Ray Cyrus has no problem with the fact that his daughter dances around and dresses like a stripper.
After all, it's all in the name of entertainment!
"You know what? I just think that Miley loves entertaining people," Billy Ray told Access Hollywood when asked this week about his daughter's pole dance at the Teen Choice Awards. "She loves singing [and] songwriting."
Hmmm, we guess this means other young artists that actually dress appropriately for their age - such as Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato - must hate entertaining, singing and songwriting.
Overall, Billy Ray said he teaches his kids to dance to the beat of their own drummer; or to strip in the name of their own ego, as the case may be here.
"I always tell her to love what you're doing and stay focused for the love of the art and not worry so much about opinion," he said.
Ah yes. Because that's exactly what Miley Cyrus is all about: art.
Do you think her pole dance - which can be seen in its entirety HERE - was inappropriate?

Wow...everyone is so super critical of this girl. Take it easy. The only similarity between
this and a stripper was the pole. The first comment was way more inappropriate than anything
Miley has ever done. Get a grip people.

The only part of her "pole dance" that looked anything like a "pole dance" is in the still pic shown above. If I were a man in a strip club and I saw this, I'd demand my cover charge back. For the rest of the dance, she was just balancing herself by holding on to the pole atop an ice cream cart that was being moved around the stage. It wasn't very smooth because she looked like she was afraid she was going to topple off of that thing at any mintue. I'd fire the choreographers. What perpetuates the redneck stereotype that she might want to break away from a little bit is that at the begining of the performance she and her little dancing-girl buddies emerge from a trailer. I find Miley to have a reasonable amount of talent and have not banned my daughter from listeing to her music.

Speaking as a 16 year old girl myself, everyone needs to lay off Miley Cyrus. everyone is calling it a striptease dance, well i saw the dance on the teen choice awards and it was no where near that. first of all she never stripped and she wasn't even dancing on the pole, but more using it for balance. everyone always talks about how they hate Miley Cyrus yet nobody here has even met her, so you really can't say things like that. And as for the attack on her parents, that was WAY to far because I'm guessing you don't know them either. Miley is just having fun, like all teenagers do, and let me tell you she's not nearly as bad as the kids at my high school.
