This was another great performance. Miley doesn't even come close to Britney's peak.

Well, Miley's performance is being talked/written about much more than Lady Gaga's new single - so mission accomplished, I guess.
i kinda like her new song and i hate myself for it.
If being talked about was the goal, then she achieved it. But if the content of the buzz is what she's looking at, then she has to be disappointed. The comments aren't about how grown up, sexy, and groundbreaking she is. They are about how raunchy and stupid she looked. She sounded horrible. She looked ridiculous. The only boundaries she broke were for the length that a tongue can hang out of a slack-jawed mouth. Miley's "look at me I can do what I want and I don't care what you think" phase is making her look like she's desperate and trying to hard. People who REALLY don't care what people think just go about their business and don't constantly talk about how they don't care. Women who are truly sexy don't try to be sexy, they just are. She could have grown up and gone beyond Disney by working hard and being true to herself, and if this is who she really is, then so be it. But I think she is trying so hard to convince everyone she's grown up that all we're seeing is a petulant brat with limited talent.
When I saw those bears it made me think of my roomies in college who were Grateful Dead-heads. Looks like the acid-paper "bears"... However, I'm sure there's a more modern meaning.
Although, come to think of it, Miley's all on the drug cliches with these new songs.
^ya i think that's more along the lines. i was reading about the set design and what not and the artist who designed the bears said that miley would send in photos of herself with her tongue out so he could design the bears in her image. he called them 'selfie bears'.
^Thanks, y'all. I was wondering what in the heck the bears were about.
Totally random observation, but now I feel really old - in 2001, there are no iPhones or whatnot instagramming everything from the audience.
Also, I wonder if that snake got nauseous?
Miley's problem, or one of many, is that her music sucks way too hard to become pop legend. Britney could get away with idiotic lyrics/miming, etc because it was catchy as hell.
So I was in Toys R Us today picking up something for the baby bombshell's birthday in a few weeks. As I was wandering around, I saw two end caps crammed with what appeared to be every last Hannah Montana piece the store had. And every last one was on clearance.
Yes, I smirked.

She just not sexy. You can't manufacture it. I was embarrassed for her. Robin Thicke creeps me out.
Here's a high-quality version of this performance:
I was writing this tl;dr post about how much sexier her performance was than Miley's, and then my browser crashed.The gist of it was that Britney's performance used many different dance styles to create a Britney style, the raunchy moves were part of a cohesive whole rather than the sole focus, and Britney and her dancers more than earned their sexiness and publicity with hard work and passion for the performance.
Also, remember parents' reaction to this performance? They freaked out about her nude bodysuit, and her response was, "I just wanted to be sparkly."
