The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards had many show stopping moments, but there was only one performance that will be the subject of water cooler talk in the office Monday morning, and the honor goes to Miley Cyrus.
Miley Madness took over the Internet as soon a she came out in a Teddy Bear swimsuit thing. Don't get me wrong; when I first saw Miley's video for her new single, I thought it was fun and hilarious. She looked as if she wasn't taking herself too seriously, and was on set to let loose and have a great time.
Then the VMAs happened. Before the show began, multiple reports said Miley would be performing with "Blurred Lines" singer Robin Thicke.
"They're friends and she loves the song," a source told US Weekly. Another source added, "It's amazing. She comes out of a giant bear wearing a very provocative outfit."
I thought, "YEAH! That'll be entertaining." However, the performance went from weird to uncomfortable fairly quickly. She took off the Teddy Bear romper thing to reveal nude underwear, and Thicke joined her onstage, who reminded me of Beatle Juice in his black and white, thick-striped suit. (Is anyone talking about that? NO!)
Miley bent over in front of Thicke, and began twerking on him, losing the audience completely at that point.
Here are some of the best reactions of Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke's performance:
Oh, and these are just a few of possibly millions of posts around the Internet. I am still shocked it is Miley's performance we are talking about, not Gaga's or Kanye West's.
Critics' of Miley's performance were cruel. They posted unflattering photos of her backside while dancing. Trending topics were created about her twerking on Twitter, but the one hasthtag that took off was #Mileyasssmallerthan.
