It's her party she can do what she want Miley Cyrus performed her hit summer song We Can't Stop at the 2013 MTV VMAs.
Cyrus was among a parade of stars who appeared on the Barclays Center stage at this year's Video Music Awards along with Justin Timberlake Kanye West and Lady Gaga. (Katy Perry also performed but underneath the Brooklyn Bridge.)
Cyrus' VMA performance featured a bunch of dancers in bear costumes but not the song's signature auto tune. The singer's racy track includes references to molly and cocaine but MTV bleeped the molly reference during the performance. (Kanye West was also muted by the MTV censors when he rapped molly on the Yeezus song Blood on the Leaves. )
After We Can't Stop Cyrus and Robin Thicke sang Blurred Lines together with Cyrus embracing her scandalous side. From MTV
Miley embraced her role as the new twerk queen as she stripped off her bear emblazoned leotard to cavort with Robin Thicke for a performance of the singer's Pharrell Williams produced mega hit Blurred Lines which is in the running for Video of the Year. With Thicke clad in a black and white striped suit Miley gave him an up close and personal private twerk show as the song climaxed.Cyrus was tied with Thicke Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars for the second most 2013 VMA nominations with four Macklemore and Ryan Lewis led with six nods.
