"Miley Cyrus Has Beef With Radiohead The teen queen's still mad that the Brits didn't want to meet her at the Grammys.
By Jocelyn Vena
Miley Cyrus can probably meet anyone she wants to these days. She has a hit TV show, a few hit movies under her belt, and she is the face of the Disney Teen Queen generation.
But there is one group of guys that aren't having any of it: Despite Miley's best efforts last month at the Grammy Awards to get some face time with Radiohead, she failed miserably.
"I'm like, these are the people I really want to meet," Miley said on the Johnjay and Rich morning radio show on Tuesday. "I'd freak out. They're my rock gods. These are the only people I would cry over."
The 16-year-old pop star tried to use her people to make it happen when they were all at the February 8 awards show. ", 'Pull as many strings.' My manger asked and said, 'Miley's really obsessed.' And they were like, 'We don't really do that.' "
Her disappointment was especially hard because "they're the reason I love music," she said. "Just to say you don't really do that — it's not like I was going to bring my crew. I had already texted all my friends that my life will be complete [if I got to meet them].
"We were all freaking out," she recalled, saying their snub was "obnoxious." "This is someone I would cry over."
Devastated, Cyrus didn't even stick around to see Thom Yorke and crew perform during the show. "I left 'cause I was so upset. I wasn't going to watch. Stinkin' Radiohead!" she said. "I'm gonna ruin them, I'm going to tell everyone."
Not all of Miley's celebrity encounters have been bad. "Fergie was the coolest," she said, adding that she was equally impressed by encounters with Paul McCartney, Chris Martin and the Kings of Leon."

I love Radiohead. Love em'
But quite a selection of different celebrities, and not just Miley and Kanye, have reported being snubbed by the lovely brits. Who knows? Maybe they just don't care to mingle with other celebs? Maybe it is a personal thing? Maybe they are actually not that nice of people, eh? I don't want to believe the latter but who knows? Interesting though.

That is true, but isn't that apart of being a celebrity? It's like Kanye West saying "I'm not a celebrity, just a normal guy who is famous." I think anyone who agrees to perform at the Grammys shouldn't mind meeting some of the other attendees, even if they don't particularly care for them. I don't know, it is just a mutual kind of thing to me.

Why is everyone so upset that radiohead didn't want to meet them at the grammys? First Kanye and now Miley? Why don't they leave the real musicians alone and stop looking for approval

I don't think so. Just because you go to a class reunion, does that mean you have to say hello to everyone in your class and hang out with them? But they're your peers and the point of a reunion is to get together.
Further, I don't exactly know what these guys would expect from Thom Yorke. They're choosing the least friendly member of the band who's famed for his existential dread of celebrity and the limelight in general.
just because someone is recognized for making good music doesnt mean they HAVE to do anything. she will understand as she gets older that some people just don't like to be bothered.
And this is exactly why Radiohead has never been to the Grammy's before and will never again return.
Thom and the boys give back to their fans. I know that for a fact. I've met a couple fans that have hung out with them on numerous occasions and they were incredibly kind and generous to those folks. I just don't think they care about the ego maniacal celebrity types. I'm sure Phil would have talked to her, but she probably didn't care to talk to Phil. Everyone wants to talk to Thom, but he doesn't roll that way. Well good on them. God, I love those guys.
I love that only Thom and Jonny actually played, that they played a song they weren't actually nominated for and that Thom snubbed Kanye and Hannah Montana before peforming.
"I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fücking special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here" -Radiohead

lol shes going to be forgotten long before Radiohead is ruined.
but yeah, leave the poor fucker alone. Is it so wrong to just want to be left alone? being an artist does not go hand and in hand with wanting fame. being famous does not equal wanting everyone to know/love you.
Thats great these people hold Radiohead in such high regard, but if you are expecting them to return the feeling you are gonna be disappointed. Thom Yorke seems like one of the coolest people in the world but i would not expect him to get all excited about hanging out with me just because im so excited about hanging out with him, and i wouldnt be surprised in the least if he just didnt want to talk to me at all.
Its kind of sad that she thinks being who she is is gonna get her whatever she wants in life and shes such a brat when it doesnt happen.

The Grammys is much different than a typical class reunion. We are talking about A-list celebrities who are recognized around the world. I don't think it takes much to say "hey, it's nice to meet you" and walk away. I love Radiohead, but if you are playing the Grammys, it should be expected to be asked for a small meet and greet or photos. If you don't like the limelight, then stay away from the light. Don't attend one of the biggest award ceremonies and not expect someone to want to meet you or see you.
Again, I love Radiohead, and I cannot stress that enough. I DO NOT LIKE MILEY CYRUS even though I have known her since I was a child. We grew up in the same hometown and the HANNAH MONTANA movie was filmed here in our hometown, Franklin, Tennessee. I'm not proud and I'm not taking her side. I just think some celebrities don't realize that with great success comes notoriety and fame, even if you don't want it.
If celebrities had to knuckle under to every request for a meet and greet, that's how they'd spend an awful lot of time. This wasn't a charity event or Miley running in to Radiohead in the park; Radiohead was there to perform...a job, if you will. An artist's only obligation to the public is to perform when paid. As a celebrity herself (although I have no idea why she's obtained that status), Miley Cyrus should be more -- not less -- understanding than the general public. She's an unsophisticated, whiny brat with no poise whatsoever.

^But it is not just with Miley, multiple celebrities have had this happen to them from Radiohead. Look, I can't debate this with anyone on here so I shall give up. I LOVE RADIOHEAD! it just strikes me odd that for some reason many different people feel 'snubbed' by them. But again, I love Radiohead, gotta' keep that coming out! Haha.
I understand. It's not Radiohead's M.O., plain and simple, and all the bellyaching in the world isn't likely to change that. Personally, I'd be embarrassed to be complaining about something as trivial as a fellow artist (or whomever) not wanting to meet me, let alone doing it on air or in the press.
I bet if she walked by and introduced herself like a normal person would do, rather than have her ''people'' do it, maybe she'd gave gotten a better response. Totally one-sided article btw.

Obviously its just the way they are, so people should stop taking it as a personal insult every time they are declined a meeting with them. Are you really saying you would rather Radiohead did not perform at the Grammy's because of things like this? Its more pompous/rude if they decline playing the Grammys or whatever at all "because they dont want to talk to anyone". You also have to remember they arent even from America so maybe (probably... definitely) they arent caught up in all the hype of the American media. I would be surprised if they really even know who Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana is. The fact that Kanye/Miley have to make such a big deal over the rejection is pretty sad. I dont think Thom is looking to get everyones attention by not talking to anyone, he just doesnt want to talk to anyone.
i'm actually shocked/impressed that miley is a radiohead fan.
I guess I sort of am too, but the article talks about how she sang some lines to "Creep"...which kinda makes me think she's never heard Kid A-type Radiohead. Who knows.
Think about it......If you were Thom Yorke, would you want your pic taken with Kanye or Miley Cyrus? Ummmmmmm......FUCK NO!!! That's exactly the point. I'm sure it wasn't just a handshake and short chat. I'm sure both Kanye/Miley's people wanted a photo and whatever else. If I were Thom I'd tell em to f*ck off too.
I bet if she walked by and introduced herself like a normal person would do, rather than have her ''people'' do it, maybe she'd gave gotten a better response. Totally one-sided article btw.
agreed agreed. Just be real, don't over do it. and btw she will never ruin Radiohead, she needs to be ruined for saying that. But it is hard to believe that she is a fan.
it just strikes me odd that for some reason many different people feel 'snubbed' by them. But again, I love Radiohead, gotta' keep that coming out! Haha.
Why does that strike you as odd? Obviously they just don't want to play the handshake game. The fact that multiple people have complained about this shows that that's just the way they are (and that there are plenty of insecure people in the music industry). And who can blame them? They weren't at the Grammys to make connections. They were there to rock the fuck out, and thankfully they did!
