Your so right, you would NEVER see someone like Adele or Emeli Sande go that far for recognition.

one of the greatest shows in the history of show business! the last part that "miley made lady gaga and beyonce look tame" is absolutely true!

it's encouraging to see that a lot of people thought it was horrible

One of the best performances ever

Simply for introducing the word twerking, America deserves everything it gets

If you watch the VMA's….you deserve anything that you see

Honestly, I hold Miley Cyrus up in high regard. She's young, rich, beautiful, and open to new experiences...OF COURSE she's gonna have some fun and explore it, and frankly, you'd be damn stupid NOT to! Now the difference between her and everyone else, it seems, tho, is that Miley seems capable of not only expressing herself and having fun, but also KEEPING HER SHIT TOGETHER while at it.

Love it Miley is amazing

The greatest female vocalist of all time have respect from there voice alone ; never would they have lowered themselves or allowed production to force them into a performance that would encourage the public to turn their back on them in shame.I

When I first saw images of her VMA performance, my initial reaction was: I don't even.

Glad I was asleep before I saw this live, though seeing replays isn't any better. I have no idea what snapped in Miley's head, but this twerking and everything else about it is wrong beyond words

lady gaga may not always be 'tame' but her performances are tasteful and artistic.. not cheap and gross.

no, every country has to wake up and learn from this-something has to be done. This behavior cannot and must not be tolerated anywhere and at anytime!

This is sickening and sad.. but when you think about it, lots of celebrities will do pretty outrageous things for attention whether it's positive or negative. I do agree with all of those people saying this is sad, and disgusting. She should be ashamed of herself but I really don't think she will be.

Couldn't have said it better. The decadence of our culture is disgusting.

we knew what this kid was about while she was still doing her Hannah Montana bit. I feel for her dad.

Hi Martin, The Smiths made those "faces" during Lady Gaga's performance but live viewing showed they actually weren't making faces at all, but rather just chewing yum, wiping their nose, etc. However, we still wanted to play off the image in jest.

I just think she will honestly regret this after some time, and feel really really ashamed.

Respect! Truth at its utter finest!!!

If it freaks people out, I dig it.

And I have to 100% agree that Pop Starts will lead our youth but YOU as a parent have to be the role model and show them properly.

I think everyone is just so disgusted by Miley that they're disliking anything having to do with her..

well at least she did warn us with the words of the song 'we wont stop' if you listened to it on the radio first ,at least she was polite.

You are somewhat correct. That is what will be on tv but just like the concern with childrens clothing now a days. Its not the media or actress that is to blame, if you allow your children to watch it and dont teach them yourself what is wrong and right then it soley lies on the so called parents. Being a mom of twin girls "I" will teach them everything. I will teach them what to and not to do and not blame anyone but myself for allowing them to watch or act like someone else.

she was mature when she was younger that says alot

Her actions may have adverse effects on some girls, but I doubt the numbers will be significant enough to worry over. Under the condition that her young fans are properly educated by their schools, their parents, and peers, such adverse effects will not much occur.

I love the look on Will Smith's family. The same look most people had on their faces when they watched Will Smith & his son's last movie.

all of a sudden I love miley

Makes me sick to my stomach to think of the little girls who adore her from her Disney days and will follow the example she has set for them.

Miley is somewhat a girl of wild nature.

I feel sorry because she could have had such a good future...But oh well. What do her parents say about what she's doing with her life? I mean, she might be of age and all, but family is family. They are supposed to keep you on tracks no matter how old you are. I hope she finds her way back out of this mess her life appears to have become.

Relationships should be built on trust and understanding. If you do not trust your girl enough, then perhaps it is best she leaves.

I just feel sorry for the kids that used to loved Hannah Montana

I wouldn't call this 'fun' it's kind of stupid the way she is behaving. But I quite frankly believe she's getting this reaction due to being Hannah Montana (I think that's how you spell it) and the example she put on that show made her to become a role model for a lot of others. The fact that the kids of my generation think that what she is doing is stupid shows how badly she has fallen from. By the way, many people 'explore' and have 'fun' in a much more respectable way.

What a gentlemen !!!! What a lady !!!

Well I'm not really a fan but I just don't like how so many people who claim to care about her can now call her these vile names and treat her like she's nothing. Maybe you are right but she is the one living in her body so she has to deal with what she does and what comes her way. Child role-models grow up and sometimes make choices we don't agree with or understand but it's no reason to tear them down. She is only human.

I'd love to see ALL the twitter remarks these were hysterical

she made lady gaga look normal on stage!

Miley Cyrus is just one of many so-so entertainers’s where the spotlight has seared her heart’s conscience of morality. These kids start out in gospel music, but without godly prenatal guidance, they end up trading their souls for fame. Pray for her soul, but leave her to her own iniquity--least she infect your children!

Some people CAN be responsible and handle themselves responsibly with all these newfound pleasures available to them -- Miley Cyrus seems to be in this category -- and then you have those who AREN'T responsible enough, who CANNOT keep themselves safe, and who have almost NO CONTROL over what they do -- like Lindsay Lohan. Then you have those people who cannot handle their fame or their potential loss of it and so go crazy that way -- this would be your Justin Biebers of the world -- (cont'd)

britney seems like an angel now

No, they weren't nude selfies that "leaked," nor were there any selfies that she intentionally released. They weren't selfies! (Selfies, BTW, are when you take a picture of yourself with your phone or other similar device.) They were PROFESSIONALLY taken photographs at a professional, erotic PHOTO SHOOT. I believe she did two: one for Maxim and another for some recent charity thing (I forgot what that was, but it's on t-shirts).

Omg lmao the Will Smiths family faces omg I died

I love her voice, and if she wasn't like this and dressed similarly like in party in the USA, we wouldn't have these discussions. I mean, even in Party in the USA, she was known to be a little skimpy, which sounds stupid now, but I rather see that than this! Ughhh, absolutely put her singing career at stake.

Miley's motto: If you don't got the pretty, at least you got the thong.

its sad because I used to watch Hannah Montannah all the time, I looked up to her, I was her for Halloween alomost every year, people even said I kinda looked like her before she got her hair cut

Yes but I seriously doubt young children stay up late to watch SNL. It's her life she can do what she wants but she needs to understand that there is a right way and wrong way to convey her message to everyone.

im sad. i miss the old her SOOO MUCH!

I know everyone is in a hating miley cyrus phase, but you also have to remember, she spent almost her whole career being Hannah Monatana. She is in the process of trying to find herself outside Hannah. Yeah Im sure she's not going about it right, but just like you or me she has made a few mistakes. Nothing worth hating her over. People are just being stereotypical and cruel. Not everyone is perfect but she is trying to rediscover who Miley Cyrus really is.

She made lady gaga look normal on stage!

I mean, she's not some Disney Princess anymore...she's growing up now, and she's in that stage in her life when she's young, curious, and doesn't have too much going on yet to where one can afford to experiment with various things. And not only that, but she's rich and so can actually AFFORD to have experiences that, frankly, not many get to enjoy. Plus, as a hot girl, it's easier for her to get laid. ;~P

well said smartest thing i have read on this for a long time, finally some one else with standards

i didn't think it was all that bad, I think people are only freaked out because she use to be on Disney

Miley, a victim of the "child star curse." When a child is a celebrity, they're forced to live and act a certain way, or they will be punished by the media. Now that Miley is longer a kid, all of her "teenager" is coming out at once. I kind of feel bad for her. Yet at the same time... I don't.

That made me laugh out loud.

Nice response. Instead of expecting others to behave how others deem they should, they should set an example themselves by their own actions. Miley is not enemy numero uno. She's a young woman doing exactly what was expected of her, and hey, so what? It's a raunchy dance routine. Certainly it's not particularly original or interesting but man, the way people react. As if the end was nigh. Talk about being played by the media.

To be fair though someone like Adele just needs a mic and her voice to get attention.

I had the same reaction as Will Smith and his family did.

We know that the Smiths were actually making those faces during Lady Gaga's performance. We were just playing off that everyone thought it was in response to Miley Cyrus. Thanks for the catch though.

actually your right. she hasnt done anything. i apologize for the confusion. i got her mixed up with brittany spears little sister. even though what i heard about her i dont think is true.

True provonono, but I can't help but feel things are going south so fast that all of us are going to feel the pain as a result of the mess that has been created by so few. Makes me ill.

What a sad, debased country America has become. We deserve what's coming to us.

I agree, bro. Quick to judge! Any other female artist would of got away with it.

What about all of the genuinely talented acts that put thought and hard work into their performances? Are they pathetic too?

i lol'd when she decided she couldnt take it anymore and had to settle the itch in the underworld. 0:11, who else thinks miley cyrus is gonna end up breading cats and throwing them at you when you ding dong ditch her house?

will smith family's reaction is epic :p

Lol I love this

okay, now tell me again she wasn't actually sayin "molly" on the "we cant stop song"!

Also, if parents don't like what she is doing, they ought to boycott her by not buying her stuff. I have no problem with that. My problem is with the bitching and moaning about her performance people keep insisting was "immoral."

What was she thinking! I wonder if she is having any regrets about it now that she is seeing the reactions of EVERYONE? She could use her tongue to lift the rock to hide under!

This makes Can't Be Tamed look tame in comparison.

Loved the rest of the show besides Miley. It was uncomfortable for me to see her running thru the good parts.

I'll bet her father is proud of her. Wonder if he talked her into doing this garbage. I would disown my daughter if she did this crap.

I never understood the big deal about Miley. Her music was always pretty sub par, and her vocal talent severely lacking. But seriously, people, if she did this 5 years ago it would have been provocative, but she's a 20 year old now, and she's allowed to show off her sexuality however she feels like. It's her business, period. If she wants to appear slutty, it's certainly not up to you to put her in her place, unless you have some sort of a weird "god" complex.

miley: *twerks* me: -_- *face palm*

Please forgive me if I sound like an asshole in this paragraph, but holy shit...this is the first response I've seen all day that was actually logical; thought out; backed up by reason, logic, or real-world examples; and that didn't resort to appeals to authority (or religion) or personal disgust! Seriously...on that alone, I fell like I should thank and congratulate you.

Here, I'll tell what what ACTUALLY causes these phenomena: 1.) money 2.) fame 3.) hormones 4.) the desire and ability to have some crazy fun This phononenon you see with child stars around Lindsey Lohan's age is a result of nothing more than the young adult suddenly having access to literally ALL the pleasures in this world, without necessarily having the responsibility to handle it, along with the psychological issues that fame necessarily brings. Allow me to explain:

4.) Miley Cyrus is actually someone to look UP to in this regard. She's in there with the rest of them, but she's smart, responsible, and NOT stupid. She's not out there doing fucking dumb shit (like drunk driving or Beiber pissing in a mop bucket), you don't see pictures of her passed out drunk all over the place, the only nude pics one can find of her are pics that she took and released INTENTIONALLY, her career is on the rise, and she's neither in any rehab nor in trouble with the law.

Just look at the " producer " of this gig....it's self explanatory !

She has done some successful viral marketing.

Another classy one w/ the name calling. I'll leave it up to the individual & God as to the morality of it. The point I was trying to make in hopes that it would encourage somebody to maybe save a young girl from messing up her life & an innocent child's is these super rich celebrities & their babies do not have to pay the full price that poor teenagers & their fatherless babies do. It breaks my heart, and should break your's too. Growing up in day care & no daddy, money or pride. Have a heart!

I'm aware they said nothing expressly of Christianity. Many objectors to Miley are religious, most being American Christian. With that in mind, I assumed the commentator was an American Christian.

RIP Miley...that was not her anymore...sad :(

What she did wasn't mature but I wouldn't go so far as to say your society is "dying of cultural leprosy." We're well-ahead from Victorian times. Much rather be graced by this immaturity than to live in a society where skin can't be shown. If you think otherwise, there's always Iran for you

I completely agree.

Those color combinations are also common in Videos and Movies . It Represents Duality in Freemasonry which runs MTV . It's found on floors of Free Mason Temples , in fact Toronto MTV Studios are in an actual Masonic Temple .

Nothing wrong with what Miley did. What is wrong is your indoctrination that what she did was wrong. Don't you EVER equate what she did with something as sickening as murder. There is NO comparison.

gosh.. i can't believe she would be like this, i mean she's so innocent and decent before, and now she turns into something like this.. so horrible!

No, it's not sad. It is a legitimate question. This kind of behavior is accepted, expected from certain other entertainers. Miley does it and it suddenly opens eyes to a problem. Would you find it better if I jumped on the wagon and called her awful names and tear her down? She is barely a kid and entitled to her mistakes, she'll grow up so leave her be and be there for your own kids.

I know that she wants people to take her seriously, bury Hannah Montana image 6 feet under, make people believe that she's already a grown ass woman & be who she is as a person, but tbh this is wayyyyy too much. She has so many ways on showing us that she's already done with those kids' shows but that doesn't mean that acting like a wild child & trying to look like a slut would bring people into this conclusion that she already grow up. Just look at Demi & Selena, just take it slow babe.

jayden has lost all hope in humanity

Amen brother or sister. If it was not for the blood we all would be doom. God is a forgiving God..all we have to do is ask

COMPLETELY AGREE!!!

Who cares what her father thinks? She's an adult, giving the audience what they were waiting for. So many pretend they're shocked but if they're so damned shocked, why continue to watch? How many children find a way to break free of their parents influence by being alternative to their beliefs? It's all been done before, anyway so why does it matter? Arguably, it was done first by Wendy O'Williams, then a few others, then Madonna and latterly, Miley. So what? It's not the end of the world.

Can someone tell me what the big deal is? This is nothing worst then what you see in music videos. She had all her clothes on. I swear I've seen some more popular singers wearing a lot less on stage and nobody freaked out about it.

Duck dynasty is watched by millions and is the most top rated cable show in history -why? Because it is wholesome family friendly fun. I think this display by Miley is exactly what Americans are sick of. That's why you have all the negative comments. The music industry is turning into the Devil

True,God sees the things that men don't see,and with that said....how about you dance like that in front of him?...I bet you wouldn't! We all have no right to judge,yet somehow it still happens anyway.Not all performers put on a show like that,but somehow it still happens anyway. If that was your daughter would you be proud? You would still love her,but I don't think you would be pleased.What is distasteful...ahem....just don't taste good.My Momma taught me that.

Hilary Duff? I thought she was the only disney star that didn't go to extremes? Tell me what she's done.

WHY do you have those "sensibilities?" WHY do you think those things are wrong? You should always critically examine your deepest held beliefs and, if they make no sense, are no longer necessary, or contradict something we just learned about the real world, throw them out. Of course, there is a difference between personal preference and morality. Maybe you just don't like what they are doing, but that's wholly different from it being a "wrong" thing to do, you know?

Goddamn...be MORE of a stereotype! Ya know, this is one thing one cannot say about Miley Cyrus...she doesn't adhere to stereotypes! Lol
