Three weeks after his eye-opening, jaw-dropping, scandalous MTV VMA performance starring a twerk-happy Miley Cyrus, an abused foam finger, and a Beetlejuice suit — Robin Thicke, the striped-suit wearer and Blurred Lines mastermind, finally chimed in about the most-talked about performance of his career.

In an interview with Star Magazine, Thicke finally revealed that the motive to involve gasps from audiences all over the world as a reaction to his teaming with Cyrus several weeks ago was all part of the plan. “We knew what we were getting ourselves into,” Thicke said. “We’re entertainers, and the VMAs is the perfect place for a little shock and awe. Yeah, we kind of knew when we were in rehearsal and we were like, ‘OK, if you touch me with your foam finger all over my crotch, obviously a few people are going to have something to say about this.’ But that was the whole point. I mean the whole point was to excite and provoke and entertain.”
Coming to Miley’s defense on her overtly sexual moves on the small screen, Thicke maintained that even though the provocative performance was shocking to some, it was all in the name of fun.
“I totally understand everyone comes from different places and has their own opinions, but when people use the word sexual, I didn’t feel anything sexual about the performance,” Thicke said. “I thought it was silly and funny, she was being humorous and naughty, but it wasn’t sexually charged at all. That’s who she is, that’s how she likes to dance, she was just being herself and I was just being myself.”
Sure, Robin.
I agree with what he said, but it was a very sexual performance.
And all the people saying he should move on, if an interviewer asks a question, aren't you supposed to answer it? People still talk about stuff from years ago, especially if it's controversial. As this was.

This lmao... why are you guys acting like he started this topic? It was obviously controversial and people are still talking about it (especially about Miley and her twerking) on Facebook, twitter, Youtube. People are overreacting with this performance you can clearly see it was a silly act
Even this interview was planned to occur at this time. Notice it came after Miley's new single release and on the way to possible #1 Hot 100.He has had many opportunities to comment before. Robin and Miley planned it everything perfectly,
okay Robin okay
