When I say "deserve" I mean only the crudest analogy of how much I feel their contribution to society is worth versus how much they get compensated for it. I think Miley Cyrus brings literally nothing to the table, and her music and performance harms the overall progression of culture and music in our society. And she rakes in millions for doing so.
It's a purely subjective view that doesn't mean much, but there are a lot of other people doing things that I think are much more worthwhile than her getting paid pennies. I don't mean deserve in the sense of she is getting something for nothing, just that I feel her compensation far exceeds the value of her services.
Which I guess is more an expression at my distaste for manufactured pop music (for the reasons outlined so eloquently by roach in his post) than it necessarily has anything to do with her.
