Who else is hiring those people as pop performers? Could that musicians/dancers get hired by any other top tier celebrity anytime soon? How much of the outrage of the way she is "using" those people comes from the way she is portraying them, and how much comes from we as a society being unconfortable with them? If she isn't the only person doing those stuff (and she isn't), why she is the only one being called out on it?
Questions...

I would say a lot. On top of that, people don't want their ignorance to show, so to hide it, they get overly upset when celebrities "use" them, when the issue really has nothing to do with them. I feel like Miley is just doing the same.
Really, I see this whole Miley issue to be very similar to something Eminem said: That he only does things that will upset people because people get upset. If people didn't get upset, give him the attention that he was seeking, he wouldn't do it.
