Wrecking ball; mess? Or art?

Another short and quick post but I would love to get opinions. Miley Cyrus' new music video has gained a lot of negative views. But, it was directed by one of my heroes; Terry Richardson. The video falls in line with his normal work which is all controversial and I love his work because it provokes emotion and reaction. Compared to a lot of his work, Wrecking Ball is probably pretty tame. 

However, the issue people have is that she used to be "Hannah Montana" on Disney Channel and it's not what kids want to see. But, everyone changes and grows up. She's not trying to push Disney away, it's just part of how she has matured. One of her biggest idols is Lady Gaga (another person who I adore). She is known for provocative and shocking outfits people have adjusted and expect this now, maybe it's time we accept Miley as this too? 

I personally think the video is brilliant, but I am bias so please, feel free to comment on what you think of the video :)
