Some parents put in calls to Cyrus’ management and record label, saying the singer went ‘too far’ on her tour, according to TheFIX.

At this point it's expected that a Miley Cyrus show might include a bit of shock value.
But after being subjected to more skin, salacious moves and surprising stunts than they bargained for — some parents are apparently calling for the "Wrecking Ball" singer, 21, to pull the plug on her "Bangerz" tour.
The ‘We Can’t Stop’ singer kicked off her show on Valentine’s Day in Vancouver.

Cyrus's management has reportedly been "flooded" with complaint calls from parents saying the "We Can't Stop" star went too far with the sexual innuendos during her 2-hour-long concert, according to TheFIX.

"Her team, including management, record label execs and the entire tour staff including the director, costume department and choreographers — have been called for an emergency meeting as arenas across the U.S. threaten to pull out of the show," a source told the website.
The pop star’s tour kicked off on Valentine's Day in Vancouver, and right off the bat Cyrus made clear that bringing mom and dad might have been a bad idea.
Some parents reportedly  labeled Cyrus’ concert a ‘porn show.’

Some parents reportedly labeled Cyrus’ concert a ‘porn show.’

She broadcast a "parental advisory," warning explicit content, before going on to ride an oversized hotdog, simulate a sex act on a dancer dressed as Bill Clinton and wear a costume printed with cannabis leaves. Souvenirs from the experience include $40 gold-embellished rolling papers for the pot enthusiast.

Some have even branded it a "porn show," TheFIX reports.
"The problem is Miley loves to shock so she decided to take it to the extreme for her Bangerz tour, but this time she may have taken it too far," the source added.
Cyrus’ concert antics may be affecting her ticket sales, according to a Forbes magazine report.

Demand for tickets has softened, according to a Forbes magazine report.
Interest in Cyrus peaked the week of Aug. 25, following her scandalous VMA performance, the money magazine notes, citing Google trends.
The singer’s concert graphics include a ‘parental advisory’ sticker.

"By the time tickets actually went on sale for her 38-city Bangerz tour, 'Miley Cyrus' searches has dropped by 80%, to the same level it had been at over a year ago," the mag reports.
At least one magazine lauds Cyrus’ singing chops: Rolling Stone’s review said the music was ‘front and center,’ though some parents disagree.

However, concert promoter Live Nation is disputing the claims of issues concerning ticket sales. 
“There is no truth whatsoever to any stories or rumors of venues pulling out of the Bangerz Tour. Miley has created a tour that’s big, spectacular, entertaining and everything you would expect from Miley Cyrus," the statement, obtained by the Daily News, read.
"Reviews have been amazing and most important, fans are loving the show and having a great time."
Last month Cyrus previewed her stage show in a televised MTV “Unplugged” special, which the singer said was an opportunity to showcase her vocal talent. 
While much of the “Bangerz” tour news involves what Cyrus has been doing on stage, several reviews — like one by Rolling Stone magazine — laud the pop star’s singing chops.

A song will cost nothing to streamon smarphones and tablets, but must be listened to as part of an album in shuffle mode.


 

Spotify announced free streaming services for mobile gadgets as well as an exclusive deal with Led Zeppelin, pictured — so music lovers can get their fix of the British metal precursors no matter where they 'Ramble On.'

 
Spotify’s got a whole lotta love for free tunes.
The streaming music company launched a new free service for smartphones and tablets Wednesday and inked an exclusive deal with Led Zeppelin as it aims to turn up the volume in an increasingly crowded industry.
Its mobile service had previously only been available to users who paid $10 a month for a subscription.
Now, users can pick tracks they want to hear and listen for free — with commercials.
 
The caveat is that they can’t listen to the exact song they want to hear, exactly when they want to hear it. Instead, they’ll need to play tracks on playlists and albums randomly in shuffle mode.
Spotify users can now stream music free to their mobile devices.

Spotify users can now stream music free to their mobile devices.
Spotify, which has 24 million active users, already offers a free service on desktop computers with commercials.
The Sweden-based company is betting offering more free services will tempt users into paying up to avoid ads.
It’s battling fierce competition in the streaming music space from rivals like Pandora, which has 70 million active users, as well as Apple’s iTunes Radio, Rdio, Sirius XM and others.
Spotify also announced it’s launching in 20 new markets for a total of 55 worldwide, and it has partnered with Led Zeppelin to exclusively offer the band’s entire catalogue.
