Wrecking ball by Miley Cyrus 

In wrecking ball Miley is presented as naked/very little clothing. Stuarts Hall theory is all about media language being used to create representation and how stereotypes are often used to assert power. In wrecking ball stereotypes are used and also gone against. For example, Miley is naked on a wrecking ball gives of the stereotype that women are vulnerable. Miley goes against the stereotype that ‘blonds are dumb’ as she shows herself as a strong independent lady. Wrecking ball is part of the hip hop genre the song is about Miley getting her heart broken so she wrote a song expressing how she feels this also goes with the stereotype that ‘women are very emotional’ once again going with Stuart Halls representation theory. 

If I were a boy by Beyoncé 

In Beyoncé song she is presented as strong and powerful in the life of a man. George Gerbner theory is the more we see the same representation and messages the more we believe they are true, this applies with the stereotype that men are more powerful/stronger the boys. Beyoncé is going against the typical stereotypes and living in the life of a man’s day. But at the end of the video it shows Beyoncé showing the typical emotional women side of her as her partner is flirting with other females. Georges theory its goes with this music video because it shows that the more men flirt with other girls the more other men will think its acceptable too.
