Thanks for the bust up

Saw this on Pinterest, couldn't stop laughing

Though the performance was goddamn awful, I think she has a nice toned body. I'd rather have her ass than mine at the moment, but I wouldn't try and twerk it in front of millions if I did...

Miley Cyrus has a message for all the haters knocking her twerk-tastic and controversial 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance on August 25 with Robin Thicke: She's just being Miley.
The "We Can't Stop" singer broke her silence in an interview with MTV.com three days after her polarizing number at Brooklyn's Barclays Center and said, "I don't pay attention to the negative because I've seen this play out so many times," she dished. "You're thinking about it more than I thought about it when I did it. Like, I didn't even think about it 'cause that's just me!"

In the MTV video, which is a teaser for an upcoming documentary, the former "Hannah Montana" star claims that she's certainly not the first star to shock the world with a performance. "How many times have we seen this play out in pop music? Madonna's done it, Britney's done it. Every VMA performance… anyone that performs, that's what you're looking for. You're wanting to make history."
She's got a point: Audience members were agog after the "Material Girl" and the "Toxic" singer locked lips at the 2003 MTV VMAs and proceeded to bust a move together. Nearly 20 years before that, Madonna had tongues wagging over her hypersexual performance of "Like A Virgin" at the 1984 VMAs. Neither performance sidelined their careers; if anything, it made each star more famous.
In fact, making a big scene at the VMAs is all part of the game. Van Toffler, president of Viacom Media Networks Music & Logo Group, was definitely pleased with Cyrus's performance, calling it a "huge success" and saying, "It was a wonderfully chaotic mess of unforgettable performances — everything you could hope for as a producer of a live music show."

And it sounds like the 20-year-old star knew full well that she was about to put her stamp on music history when she took the stage with the "Blurred Lines" crooner and a foam finger. "Me and Robin the whole time said, 'You know we're about to make history right now.'"
"What's amazing is I think now, we're three days later and people are still talking about it. They're overthinking it," the pop princess explains.
So there you have it folks, we may not ever look at a foam finger the same way again, but Miley Cyrus knew that would be the case all along.

Yahoo!


Yeah, you "Didn't think about it" That was the problem. The word hater went out the door when people started using it. There is a big difference than that stupid term hater. Nobody liked it. I haven't watch it, and I don't want to. I've only seen the gif's.
Referring to Britney and Madonna only shows what she is trying to be like. History at it's worst. Who gave her the title "pop princess"? Ugh.
Miley says she doesn't pay attention to the negative. I wonder why she needed to compare herself to other performers. Yawn!

[InigoMontoya]

How could people have over thunk it more than she/her team did? They planned it all. Those critics had it foisted upon them.

"What's amazing is I think now, we're three days later and people are still talking about it. They're overthinking it," the pop princess explains.

Because it's so bananas and so poorly conceived that we're trying to figure out how it ever got to point where it was performed on national television.

Yeah, you "Didn't think about it" That was the problem. The word hater went out the door when people started using it. There is a big difference than that stupid term hater.

But "hater" has given birth to so many fun pics and gifs!

Where did she say "haters"?

[Serendipity]

Meh. I can appreciate a good controversial performance if done well. That was just a mess.

I didn't even watch it, I just saw all the outrage over how his wife must feel to have Miley grinding on her husband - have they seen the actual music video with the topless chicks draped all over him? I'm just anti-prude so grind away Miley, slut it up like a mega-rich 20 year old.

This is pretty funny.

Cringe-inducing. Yikes.

Well, given the picture that's come out of Robin with his hand up some fan's ass, I think people can stop worrying about how Miley made poor Paula feel. Frankly, Miley isn't wrong... people ARE still talking about it.

[twitchy2.0]

The thing that really bugs me about this situation is that the big foam hand was a left hand but she was wearing it on her right.

[Mel1973]

well, she probably can't tie her own shoes either...

[Callalily]

That wasn't twerking. You have to have an ass to twerk. She was merely working the kinks out of her enormously long back.

[heart_leigh]

As some of my younger relatives who are into twerking would say, "You gotta have back." Seriously, twerking is a skill and it's not as easy as it looks. You just don't shake your ass like that. Believe me, I've tried! lol! Here's an example, my relatives showed me. Btw, it's killer on the butt, thighs, hips, and works out your core.
