Is Miley Cyrus forgetting the lyrics to her songs? According to Radar Online, the 21-year-old controversial singer, who is a few weeks in to her "Bangerz" tour, has been using a teleprompter to help her remember the words to her songs. Reportedly a fan who attended a Mar. 1 show in Las Vegas spotted the teleprompter sitting on the edge of the stage and snapped a picture of it.
"I was at Miley's Vegas concert and took these pictures because I couldn't believe she needed a teleprompter with lyrics to all of her songs throughout the entire concert," the fan said. "And it's not like they were just there for nothing - I caught her looking at them more than a few times."
As Wetpaint pointed out Cyrus does sing covers of other popular songs like Lana Del Ray's "Summertime Sadness" and Dolly Parton's "Jolene," so the additional help could have been used during those sets. The site also says that her setlist for the tour includes two dozen songs that she has to memorize.
Regardless, the fan who spotted the teleprompter was less than impressed with Cyrus.
"The show was entertaining, but she didn't sound good," the fan said.
Her shows have been heavily criticized because of Cyrus' overly-sexual antics. She was photographed kissing Katy Perry, who was seated in the front row at a recent show. Soon after another picture surfaced of the "We Can't Stop" singer kissing another girl in the crowd.
Cyrus has also been seen riding giant hotdogs, mimicking sexual acts and she also was caught on video grabbing what was believed to be an alcoholic beverage from a fan, taking a sip and handing it back. Not to mention the time a fan threw a thong on stage and the former Disney star picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth.
Whether Cyrus is going for shock value or just having some fun, her concerts have managed to stay in the headlines - however mostly for the wrong reasons. Even though there has been backlash over her concerts Pharrell Williams came to her defense during an interview with Capitol FM.
"Like to me [her tour] has way more pertinence and gravitas then like pictures of her showing her stuff," he said.
Cyrus also addressed the backlash tweeting last month: "You can't say I didn't warn you. Now sit back relax & enjoy the show. #bangerztour."
