Justin Timberlake praises Miley Cyrus

Justin Timberlake has spoken out in support of Miley Cyrus , insisting while he may not agree with her raunchy image, he still admires
her musical talent. The ‘Mirrors’ hitmaker has defended the 20-
year-old singer from critics – who have
objected to her performance at the MTV Video
Music Award s and her ‘Wrecking Ball’ video in
which she appears nude – but admitted while
he admires her as an artist, he isn’t entirely
convinced by her image.
He told Matt Lauer on ‘Today’ : ‘ I don’t know
that I have a definitive thought in one
direction or the other about it. I think she’s
really smart, and I think she’s really talented.
‘I’m not saying I agree with the presentation,
but I also feel like every 10 to 15 years we pick
somebody that this is what we’re going to do
with them, is we’re going to make them the
model of who we want our daughters to be or
not be.’
Justin has spoken in the past about Miley’s
duet with ‘Blurred Lines’ singer Robin Thicke
and insisted it was fine given the context of the
event. He previously said: ‘Listen, man, it’s the
VMAs – what did you guys expect? I like Miley.
I like her a lot. ’I think she’s young, she’s
letting everybody know she’s growing up. I
think it’s the VMAs, it’s not like she did it at
the Grammys.
‘It’s the VMAs, let her do her thing. You know,
Madonna. Wedding suit. Humping the stage.
Britney . Striptease. This is not an uncommon
thing.’
