Well, if attention Miley wanted, attention she got. Question is: will this serve her well in the long run? She certainly stole the spotlight from Lady Gaga and Katy Perry for the night! Booty-bumping, grinding her ass into co-performer Robin Thicke's crotch after she stripped down to a bikini (as if to test his thickeness), her sleaze factor went off the filthometer! Miley's tongue lolled about from her leering ruby lips as if she were having a seizure. All in all, she almost made Ke$ha look Puritanical. Especially when she used the foam-hand, big pointing finger in a faux-masturbatory manner! Good Lord, is nothing off-bounds? Sacre bleu! Even Madonna must have been aghast, grinding her newly bejeweled teeth! (While taking notes.)
Reception was mostly negative to say the least. Cyndi Lauper decided there was a limit to girls just wanting to have fun! Reported E! online: "'That was girl gone wild. So sad, so sad....
"'She's in a song that literally says that the blurred lines allowed you to—when a woman says no, she means yes—and that's frightful because that's date rape,'" noted Lauper.
"The 'She Bop' singer wasn't done, however. 'And there she is, a young twentysomething trying to prove she can hang with the big boys and girls, you know, basically simulating a Girl Gone Wild video onstage. And I just felt like that was so beneath her and raunchy, really raunchy,' added Lauper. 'It wasn't even art.'"
Adam Lambert dissented, also according to E!: "Listen if it wasn't ur cup of tea—all good but why is everyone spazzing? Hey—she's doin something right. We all talking,"
