Not to get all philosophical about pop, but when Miley Cyrus starting singing “It’s our party, we can do what we want” in her MTV VMAs appearance, the question that comes to mind is: oh yeah Miley, whose party? Because by the time the We Can’t Stop/Blurred Lines medley is up, Cyrus has been stripped down to a supporting role in Robin Thicke’s show.
Dressed in latex pants and bra the colour of her skin, like the models in Blurred Lines’ Benny-Hill-goes-to-American-Apparel video, Cyrus ends up bent over in front of a suited Thicke, wiggling and hanging her tongue out the side of her mouth. Is what you want definitely such a close match with King Leer behind you, Miley?
