If they ever turn Spring Breakers into a musical, it would look a lot like Miley Cyrus‘ ******* crazy Bangerz tour, which kicked off in Vancouver, Canada tonight (February 14). This weird and wonderful acid trip of a concert documents the adventures of a girl that took a walk on the wild side and — much like the characters in Harmony Korine‘s mind-bending movie — decided to stay. Simply because it’s a lot more fun.
As such, the show is a wholly unselfconscious celebration of Miley 2.0. She owns all her headline-grabbing antics from 2013 (the twerking, that foam finger and those skimpy outfits) and sticks to songs on the new LP — with two notable exceptions. But let’s start at the beginning. Because I honestly can’t think of a better one in recent memory.
Last night in Vancouver, Canada, Miley Cyrus kicked off her much-hyped Bangerz world tour with both her immense talent and self-deprecation intact. In fact, if you approached the night as a drinking game centered around "famous Miley-isms" – extended tongues, strange singing cat animations, frottage and the like – well, you probably passed out long ago, never to remember the show. Cyrus delivered on the campy, the vampy and an assortment of other cheeky behaviors with a clear aim to distance herself ever further from the land of Hannah Montana. That said, looking past the "shock and awe," Cyrus delivered fantastic vocals all evening long.
But if Friday's opening night of Miley Cyrus' Bangerz North American tour proved anything, it's that the time has come to move the conversation about the former Disney star beyond the notorious move she pulled on Robin Thicke at last year's MTV Video Music Awards.
Because there was a lot more happening onstage than just a saucy yoga pose.
There was an awesome entrance, with our heroine sliding down a tongue that descended from the mouth of a giant Miley face projected on the stage backdrop. There were dancers in furry costumes. There were Miley's own outfits, a steady stream of form-fitting (and revealing) one-pieces, bodysuits, dresses, chaps, cowboy boots, bikini tops, rhinestones and fake fur.
If one got bored of watching Cyrus — a possibility, perhaps —- there was also a constant flow of eye-popping visuals on the big-screen backdrop. These included dancing cats, carnival horror-show faces, and animation by Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi (who also had a hand in the design of the furries).
There were a lot of goofy production elements, like the Ren and Stimpy Show-inspired cartoons, the entirety of FU where she is stalked by a giant orange puppet and the flying hot dog she rides to close out the show — but throughout, her undeniable singing talent managed to shine through.
Concertgoers expect music, but the experience is what makes the show. Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz tour is an experience to say the least. Her show on February 22nd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles was comprised of her and 15,000 of her closest friends throwing one of the biggest parties that Hollywood can handle. There aren’t many places outside of LA that you can go and see not only the star of the show, but other stars out to support them. Katy Perry, Hillary Duff, Joel Madden, Christina Aguilera, and Harry Styles, to name a few, were present at the Staples Center, twerking along with everyone else. Guys and girls alike strutted around, sporting Bangerz tour t-shirts, foam fingers, and “Miley buns,” to hear the pop star belt out tunes from her number one album. Gay couples, straight couples, best friends, and strangers of all ages came together to see their idol give it all she had on a trippy stage. However, the set- much of which Cyrus designed herself- never took away from the audience knowing that Miley owned the show. Fans love Cyrus’ antics, but at the same time love Miley for being true to herself and to her music.
The world's most maligned former Disney princess is strutting down the stage, leading a platoon of dancers dressed in (more) preposterous costumes, the most preposterous of them a pair of seven-foot foam finger outfits where the dancers' heads stick out of the knuckles.
It's a direct reference to the moment Miley Cyrus finally figured out how to make an entire society clutch its collective pearls: The one with the Beetlejuice suit and the twerking and the aforementioned foam finger applied to her vagina. You remember.
And this isn't even the first time tonight in Denver that Miley's blown to cartoonish proportion the very things she's most frequently mocked for. Earlier there was the entrance, where she slid down her own giant, inflatable, cockeyed tongue
So she's strutting, and singing "We Can't Stop," one of her many Top 10 Singles. Yeah, it's about partying and how we're not gonna stop partying, basically, but it is a genuinely taxing thing to perform. As the story goes, this one was originally meant for Rihanna, but you need more than her five-note range for that hook. You need Miley's several octaves of diva-quality power, which she can employ so effortlessly she's still got the capacity to simultaneously do things like, say, strut.
The rapid evolution of Miley Cyrus has been met with a smirk. Our nation's news feeds are overrun with jokes about her. Mostly, it seems, they are about her physical appearance. She looks like Justin Bieber or Draco Malfoy or some startled stray animal or whatever thing someone slapped next to some unflattering photo of her. There are plenty of those to be found; Miley does not shy away from unflattering portrayals of herself.
These girls worship Cyrus. Most of them spent the opening sets by Icona Pop and Sky Ferreira on their phones (I noted more mothers than daughters singing along to Icona Pop’s hit “I Love It”). But, by the time Cyrus slid out of a giant projection of her face (emerging out of her mouth, of course), it felt almost instantly like a church inside the Barclays Center. In the first four songs alone, Miley twerks multiple times; gets intimate with the hood of a gold jeep; slaps an estimated 50 butts; and writhes in a pile of money on the ground. She has the energy of a 12-year-old who’s just guzzled a liter of soda, and her moxie and scrappiness is infectious.
“I’mma get you really wet!” Miley shouted, before proceeding to spit water onto the ecstatic bodies of those in the front few rows. She then offered, with a smirk, “For those in the back who I can’t get wet, this is for you,” as she launched into a raunch-tastic rendition of “#GETITRIGHT” performed on a bed with numerous scantily clad dancers. “BAPTISMMMMMM” I typed in my iPhone.
If Taylor Swift is the lead cheerleader, the prom queen, the girl who is never seen without seven other girls walking in file behind her, then Cyrus is the head of the drama club, one of the people who skipped prom entirely, the girl usually seen—if with anyone at all—a gay guy dressed in black. There is room for everyone at a Miley Cyrus concert. During “Adore You,” Cyrus encouraged audience members to make out (“There is no such thing as too much tongue at a Miley Cyrus concert,” she shouted). As Cyrus belted the track (it should be noted that, unlike many of her contemporaries, the girl can sing), kissing couples in the audience were shown on the Jumbotron. Many of these were same-sex couples, and, as Cyrus admonished two men making out (“More tongue! More tongue, now!”), it struck me how awesome it was that all of these teenagers were witnessing this and probably not thinking anything of it.
