In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Miley Cyrus noted Sinead O'Connor as one of her biggest influences, saying that her music video "Wrecking Ball" is modeled after Sinead's hit single "Nothing Compares 2 U" with the close up face shots and similar haircuts...

O'Connor is NOT amused and has issued an open letter to the singer, basically telling her to STOP whatever she is doing.

Here are some of the Highlights

Sinead O'Connor said:
"I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way 'cool' to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos.

The Letter, posted to the Singer's Website continues:

Sinead O'Connor said:
"It is absolutely NOT in ANY way an empowerment of yourself or any other young woman, for you to send across the message that you are to be valued (even by you) more fr your sexual appeal than your obvious talent."

Miley seems to have a different view, telling Rolling Stone:

Miley Cyrus said:
"We could have even gone further, but we didn't..." [in regards to her VMA performance]

"America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong.."

Sinead O'Connor believes Miley Cyrus to being "prostituted" by the music business.

Sinead O'Connor said:
"The Music Business doesn't give a shit about you, or any of us. They will prostitute you for all you are worth and cleverly make you think it's what YOU wanted."

"Yes, I'm suggesting you don't care for yourself. You are worth more than your body or your sexual appeal...I repeat, you have ENOUGH talent that you don'tneed to let the music business make a prostitute of you.."

"Real empowerment of yourself as a woman would be to in future refuse to exploit your sexuality in order for men to make money from you."

"The message you keep sending is that it's somehow cool to be prostituted.. it's so not cool Miley...it's dangerous.."

"Kindly fire any motherfucker who hasn't expressed alarm, because tey don't care about you..."

An interesting turn of events, wouldn't you say?

What's your opinion?

I know LOL..

I mean, I DO support Miley because I think she IS talented...but comparing arguably one of the most awesome music videos EVER (Nothing Compares 2 U) to "WRECKING BALL?"

Take a seat you crazy infantile baby hooker! Sinead's video was close up the entire time, she captivated people using ONLY her face and her emotions, and YOU got naked in about 25 seconds... and you were riding a WRECKING BALL for god's sake and making love to a SLEDGEHAMMER... You are out of your LEAGUE little girl...

Sinead's video was the OPPOSITE of "sex"
