Miley Cyrus Leads TIME Magazine's Person Of The Year Readers Poll, But Will She Win?
Posted: 11/27/2013 12:07 pm EST
Congratulations social media, millenials and pop culture enthusiasts, you did it. You've put Miley Cyrus in the lead for TIME magazine's Person of the Year readers' poll. We hope you're happy.
As they do every year, the editors of TIME magazine pick "the person [who] most influenced the news this year for better or worse." Last year, it was President Obama. The year before, the ambiguous protester. Could 2013 officially be the Year of Miley?
Not necessarily. Cyrus, who currently has 28.7 percent of the votes, might still lose the prestigious cover. TIME's editors are the ones to crown the winner, and this is merely a readers poll to gauge the public's opinion. And even if it were up to the readers, Cyrus can fall off first place later today, tomorrow, or anytime before Dec. 4, when voting closes.

OP
Best "review" of it I ever saw was simply "I didn't realize it was going to be a documentary".

Why not? Cyrus speaks for a populace un-engaged with real issues as well as anyone ...

I'll save my sympathy for real "victims"--not nitwits who can't keep their bacteria coated tongues

Miley would have done fairly well the old 'bump and grind' circuit. I doubt if she will be popular

I agree. Whoever concocted that disgusting picture is a helluva lot more skanky than Miley Cyrus.

Hey, there's no accounting for tastes! And we all like the occasional oddball tunes.

No kidding. We are quickly losing any prestige and honor we might have enjoyed in the past.

That's why for a number of years the online winner doesn't indicate who the magazine will choose. n/

Miley's twerking is not done in an artistic and talented way. Not interesting but merely blantant,
