Warning! The next accommodates spoilers from The Masked Singer‘s “Miley Cyrus Evening.” Stream the episode with a Hulu subscription and skim at your individual threat!
The Masked Singer Season 12 was again on observe this week after eliminating a contestant the earlier week who did not know she’d be singing on the present. One other contestant was unmasked, and as unhappy as I used to be to see Ice King bouncing (after being revealed as actor Drake Bell), I could not recover from the elephant within the room surrounding “Miley Cyrus Evening.” Panelist Robin Thicke has a giant TV connection to the Grammy-winning singer that would’ve been additional acknowledged, however I can perceive why the present wasn’t eager on bringing it up.
For these in the dead of night, I am referring to the 2013 VMA efficiency the place Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke shared the stage for a efficiency. Let’s get into how the present acknowledged the second and certain averted giving it a greater highlight.
How The Masked Singer Briefly Acknowledged Robin Thicke’s Efficiency With Miley Cyrus
Robin Thicke had an opportunity to take the highlight on Miley Cyrus Evening and possibly even make a second greater than when he and Ken Jeong walked off the stage in The Masked Singer Season 7. A lot to my preliminary shock, when Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg opened up the dialog for him to touch upon the notorious VMAs efficiency, Thicke performed it off and mentioned the next:
Uh, no. Miley and I’ve by no means met.
The second made for a giant snigger from the group and the panel, however then it wasn’t referenced for the remainder of the episode. I initially discovered this unusual, contemplating what a serious zeitgeist spectacle it was, however after revisiting a few of the aftermath of that efficiency, it is fairly clear why Robin Thicke and The Masked Singer did not wish to dwell on it.
Why It is For The Finest The Masked Singer Left It Out Of The Episode
Whereas the 2013 VMAs might really feel like a second that the world laughed at, it was a foul expertise for Miley Cyrus. The singer has talked in previous years about the way it saved her from carrying shorts, and although she’s reclaimed a few of that confidence from the froth finger efficiency, she nonetheless appears to really feel as if she was needlessly sexualized on the stage.
Regardless of any acceptance she might really feel now, I can see why it could nonetheless be in unhealthy style for The Masked Singer to dwell an excessive amount of on that second with solely half of the performing events current to talk about it. And it isn’t like Robin Thicke did not produce other scandalous issues occurring surrounding the track “Blurred Strains.”
Thicke needs to remain on TMS for a very long time, so remaining as noncontroversial as attainable in his opinions and profession references can solely assist him stay on the panel.
The Masked Singer Season 12 continues on Fox on Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET. This season has been one the place CinemaBlend has discovered all kinds of untamed tales from its contestants, and if that is of curiosity, remember to take a look at Andy Richter telling us concerning the time he bumped into Conan O’Brien’s late-night rival Jay Leno.
