WATCH: Did Miley Cyrus’ performance at the MTV Video Music Awards go too far? Peter Kim reports.
TORONTO — Miley Cyrus stole the spotlight Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards with a sexually-charged — and slightly bizarre — performance that left everyone buzzing.
She straddled a giant bear with her tongue out, “motorboarded” and slapped a woman’s buttocks, touched herself with a giant foam finger and paraded around in flesh-coloured underwear — all before bumping and grinding against married father-of-one Robin Thicke.
“That performance should’ve NEVER been allowed!,” tweeted singer Teddy Sandman. “@MileyCyrus is a disgrace to the art of music! Get ur daughter under control @billyraycyrus.”
Rapper Ilych Sato opined online: “Miley Cyrus is a perfect example of whats wrong with the world today…I mean everything. Content, costume, etc. This is whats IN…”
Here are more reactions from notable tweeters:
“Things I learned watching the #VMAs2013: There’s nothing you can do with a foam finger that you can’t air on MTV.”
“Remind me to never let my kids into showbiz… Thanks.”
“I just watched the #VMAs & I know I’m going to have nightmare about Miley Cyrus playing a tiny harp where her ‘red light area’ is.”
“Alan Thicke and Billy Ray Cyrus now under genetic arrest.”
“Watching VMAs. Haven’t been in a strip club in a while, but good to see nothing has changed.”
“Miley Cyrus made a lot of people pregnant tonight.”
“Is it just me or are the #vma up to this point like what watching japanese porn must be like?”
“Thank Christ! The internet has stopped bitching about #BatFleck to bitch about Miley Cyrus’ #MtvVMAs performance instead… #SentientTongue
“It’s nice that Miley is comfortable with herself.”
“Why’s Miley Cyrus the villain? Because she’s got the guts to go out and say ‘Hey guys I’m trying too hard! Sorry it shows!’ #screweverybody”
