From dancing on a pole to cutting her hair and changing her entire style in her career, MTV has covered it all. That's right, the lovely Miley Cyrus. As I come to find out, a lot of things went down during the unplugged episode.
MTV has done unplugged episodes for years. They have covered everyone from Katy Perry to Thirty Seconds to Mars. They have even done a European one with Phil Collins. This year they decided to cover Miley Cyrus.
"Smilers" were extremely excited as you could imagine. Smilers are fans, so you can understand why they would be excited. Other people may have thought, "oh my lord, what could she possibly do now?" Well, I thought both. There was the question if she would use this as an opportunity to show she still has her old sensitive side through with her old songs. There was also the question of if she would use this to go even more extravagant and do something people would be talking about for ever and only judge her more for.
Well, guess which one she did. She used this opportunity to have a country theme and perform all sorts of her music. Including the very famous wrecking ball. There was also a duet with Madonna! She could have used this to do so much more to better and further her career. Miley said herself that she is expected to go on stage and stick her tongue out then twerk. She said she would not be doing that again. Well, surprise again! She went on stage in her cowgirl get up with a blonde wig, yelled yee haw, then proceeded to not only twerk on a horse but grind on Madonna.
While her performance was thought of as still amazing as she always does, it was a little obscure. The main things you hear about are not the ones that she did well, but the ones that were a little out there and that people will remember and gossip about for weeks later. The horse was definitely a big part of this. Miley used this horse as a dancing partner, twerking on it multiple times. She also sang to it about how it is sexy and she would do things to it. After that, she got on the horse and started sexually dancing on it.
This is not the only thing people found offensive! Miley often performs with a woman with severe dwarfism. Normally there is a line drawn for what she will do while she performs, but she smacked this woman's butt. Apparently unplugged also meant unmannerly as well. There were a few more shockers such as giving herself a minor mammogram and genital grabbing in front of the entire LIVE audience!
While yes, these things are odd, well, she is still an amazing performer and people will love her no matter what she does.
Shocked but still loving,
