We thought Miley Cyrus' MTV VMAs drama felt familiar.
The 21-year-old singer has recruited Madonna for her "MTV Unplugged"
special, and the star admits that she takes some inspirational cues from
Madonna.
"I grew up listening to Madonna, and a lot of what she represented
for me is what I try to represent to girls now, not being afraid of
sexuality and being who you want to be and doing what you want to do," Cyrus told MTV, which will air her "Unplugged" special tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
During Cyrus' set, the two pop stars collaborate on a mashup of
Madge's "Don't Tell Me" and Cyrus' No. 1 hit, "We Can't Stop." According
to MTV, we can expect plenty of Madonna-on-Miley grinding - which,
given her reason for having Madonna on in the first place, makes sense.
"'Don't Tell Me' is basically the same message that I'm telling my
fans with 'We Can't Stop,'" Cyrus said. "I feel like 'We Can't Stop' is
the 2013 version of 'Don't Tell Me.' ... She understood why that was
important for a lot of our fans, especially those that are young, who
are trying to figure out their freedom. I really wanted her here because
I wanted that energy ... she's so about making a statement."
To refresh your memories, we've dropped both music videos below - do you think Cyrus has a point?
