When Disney Channel Fails

Innocence is Bliss GIRL POWER right, note the African American girl that isn't Raven Symone. Check out your daughter/little sister/niece's favorite role model now!(More importantly listen to the lyrics!)



I remember when Cheetah Girls was my favorite movie. It was so empowering and all the Cheetah Girls were sooo pretty, with gorgeous voices and could do no wrong. Oh Disney Channel why do you diminish my role model down to nothing? If the video filmed for this song isn't bad, the lyrics will sure make up for any raunchiness that wasn't added into the video. I am truly concerned about this new 'Kiely Williams' and what it means for younger generations. Fair enough many Disney Channel stars have branched off to develop music careers, such as Hilary Duff, Raven Symone, the Jonas Brothers, Ally and AJ and others. However, having appeared on Disney Channel the music that they make has always catered to younger audiences in an effort to maintain viewers of their television shows and movies. But what audience is Kiely trying to reach here? The sexually-active youth of America? Sadly, there is no positivity in this song! The basic gist is that she got excessively drunk, and had really good sex. She's not sure if she was drugged or if she even used a condom! Now what kind of example does this set for America's teenager? If this video and Kiely's actions are believed to be the Hegemonic Norm, there are going to be large numbers of underage females running around getting extremely drunk so that they can have tons of fun and experience the "spectacular" sex that Kiely has. The world has already shown that it falls easily into false consciousness, and since Kiely was a former Cheetah Girl and role model, will younger girls be influenced by this new image? The teen pregnancy rates will tell...
