The Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O'Connor, who was the voice behind the massive 1990 hit single "Nothing Compares 2 U" which was originally written and composed by Prince, gave some words of wisdom to Miley Cyrus in an open letter after being told that Miley's music video "Wrecking Ball" was inspired by Sinead's video "Nothing Compares 2 U".
The open letter draw numerous comments from readers worldwide, majority of which agrees with Sinead O' Connor's genuine motherly concern towards Miley.
Sinead started her letter with these words "So this is what I need to say ... And it is said in the spirit of motherliness and with love."
She told Miley that she is extremely concerned for her, "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. It is in fact the case that you will obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether its the music business or yourself doing the pimping.
O' Connor, who have been in the music business since the late 80's warned Miley that the music business doesn't really care about her or any other artists, and that all they care about is making lots of money at the expense of the artists' innocence. "They're there for the money .. we're there for the music."
O' Connor believes in Miley's talent but advised her that she does not need to let the music business make a prostitute of her and that she ought to be protected as a young lady. "You ought be protected as a precious young lady by anyone in your employ and anyone around you, including you. You are worth more than your body or your sexual appeal."
She further encouraged Miley to send healthier messages to her peers ... "That they and you are worth more than what is currently going on in your career."
