How Miley Cyrus silenced her critics on SNL – except for Republicans:
Miley Cyrus didn’t twerk or make any inappropriate gestures with a foam finger on last night’s edition of Saturday Night Live, but she did display a deft comedy touch beyond her years, delivering at least one oh-no-she-didn’t moment. Oh, and she sang two songs.
Love her or hate her, girl’s got game.
At only 20 years old, Cyrus has already spent more time in front of the camera than literally all of the current, mostly rookie SNL cast combined.
When she first hosted SNL in March, 2011, she was a gawky 17-year-old and forgivable shaky among the more experienced comedy players. During last night’s hosting gig, Cyrus was sharp, funny and focused, even though she was reading all her lines off a teleprompter. That’s a pro, y’all.
More importantly, and completely belying her seeming hell-bent behaviour of late, Cyrus was firmly in control throughout her SNL appearance, both in the sketches she appeared in the management of her public image as America’s redneck sweetheart.
How did she pull it off? Let us count the ways.
