Miley Cyrus, of Hannah Montana fame, is barely recognizable these days. The new punk/urban/pop princess loves to twerk. She first showed off her dance moves in the music video We Can't Stop and, more recently, at the Miami Music Festival.
Miley was having a blast at the Miami Music Festival. Check out this:
In response to the criticism her music video and dance-floor twerking has caused, Miley issued the following statement on The Today Show:
"Some funny things that have gone down in my life she said. So it's just been great to let people see that side of me and not just be the glammed-up, beauty shot girl, because that's not who I am. I'm just about having fun."
"I feel like people need to know that we can't stop with everything going on in the world being the way that it is," she added.
"I think people just need to hear something that's inspirational, but also it's just about having a good time. And I feel like everyone that's in my age group right now, that's all we're trying to do [IS]...have fun, and not stress out and not worry about being judged."
If you haven't checked out her video, you can catch it below. But, be warned...
SPOILER ALERT: Even by OFFBEAT’s standards, the clip (featured below) qualifies as Not Safe For Work.
But, you should totally check it out anyway.
The video opens with Cyrus, dressed entirely in a skin-tight white number, cutting an ankle-monitoring bracelet off of her leg. She then turns up the music on a radio that is shaped like an adult toy. But, before she can start singing, she has to do one more thing--put a ‘grill’ in her mouth.
That's when things start to get waaay crazier. One of Cyrus’ friends dance with a fog machine between her legs, giving the impression that her crotch is smoking. Then someone eats money!
After a confusing couple of scenes, where a skull is made out of fries and then destroyed, the twerking goes into full swing--with Miley grinding on top of a bed, for what felt like way too long.
The weirdness continues as a girl pantomimes cutting off her own fingers. But, instead of blood pouring out, it’s some kind of pink liquid. Later, she is revealed to be fine.
Get it? We don’t either.
Logically, those scenes fade into an all white room where four people with 5-foot-tall bears strapped to their back, dance, carefree. Sure.
More twerking. More grinding.
The word "twerk," itself, appears in a spoon of alphabet soup--which naturally leads into three girls with gigantic butts, slapping Miley’s rear end.
More twerking. More grinding. More taxidermy. Wait...what?
Miley drags what appears to be a stuffed mountain cat behind her, while she carries a taxidermied deer in her arms. Oh, now i get it.
The video starts to wind down when a pinata is broken and blunts (or maybe hotdogs?) starts pouring out. People jump into a pool and then the sunset comes up.
This will probably seem pretty crazy, but OFFBEAT gives the video five stars.
