Despite all the fireworks on last night's episode of "Dancing with the Stars," Miley Cyrus still grabbed the biggest headlines of the night with the short preview of the "Party in the U.S.A." video. This morning, the entire clip premiered, and it features Cyrus in short shorts and cowboy boots hanging on the back of a pickup truck and singing in front of an American flag (in a scene that reminded MTV News' Jim Cantiello of the opening scene of the 1970 biopic "Patton"). The buzz surrounding the video — the first from Cyrus' new EP Time of Our Lives — was mostly about Cyrus' sexier approach to presenting herself on video.
But we never really know what the general public is thinking until we ask them, which is why we grabbed our trusty cameras, took the elevator to the lobby and headed out into Times Square to play the video for fans and get their reactions to Cyrus' latest video. Is it a winner, or is it just too much?
The painfully unscientific results are in, and it looks like "Party in the U.S.A." has people sharply divided, with 71 percent of those polled coming down on the side of "Not feeling it." Most people found the clip to be "too sexy" and several aren't buying her transition from Disney diva to actual diva. Still, a handful of people did enjoy the video's energy and thought that the added bit of sexiness was a healthy progression for Cyrus.
