Miley Cyrus & Robin Thicke's VMA "Blurred Lines" Performance Not A Shock

Miley Cyrus & Robin Thicke's  VMA "Blurred Lines" Performance Not A Shock Miley Cyrus' performance on the VMA's was gross but not surprising. After listening to every news show rant about Miley Cyrus' performance on the VMA's, let me add a little logic. 1) The performance was screened at rehearsal by MTV. It was no surprise to them. They generated days of free publicity. It generated more post-show talk than Lady Gaga's performance and the N'Sync reunion performance. 2) Miley is a multimillionaire 20 year old with an adult publicist who is "advising" her on how to lose her child-star image and appeal to a high school and college age audience. This was a planned performance built around the lyrics of a hit song about a man who has "blurred lines" when looking at a "good girl" he wants to have sex with. 3) Her performance, while risqué (and unappealing to me), fit the risqué lyrics of Robin Thicke's song.
