Nothing but malice and mockery for Miley Cyrus: At this year's MTV Video Music Awards in New York, the 20-year-old caused a real scandal. Dressed in nothing more than skin-colored underwear and tongue out, the former 'Disney' star lolled so provocatively on stage that even boy band N' Sync's long-awaited comeback faded into the background.
Miley's show couldn't be topped when it came to embarrassment. First she landed on stage in a giant teddy bear and then presented Robin Thicke's megahit 'Blurred Lines'. Her most important accessory, along with the singer, who repeatedly had to be lasciviously danced to, was an oversized glove. Because she couldn't let that go during the whole show.
What was that about your tongue, Miss Cyrus? Whether from the stage or the red carpet: there is almost no photo in which the young singer cannot be seen with a washcloth stretched out. Sexy is definitely different.
The reactions to her performance were accordingly. 'NBC' compared the singer to a stripper and called Miley's performance "embarrassingly vulgar" and country star Josh Gracin tweeted: "Thanks Miley Cyrus. Now I have to explain to my 11 year old daughter why she can't pursue your career."
For months now, Miley Cyrus has been proving to the world in an impressive way that she is fed up with 'love' and her image as a cute 'Hannah Montana' actress: with cropped, platinum blonde hair and always scantily dressed, Unfortunately, the former teenage idol only attracts attention with her daring and embarrassing performances.
