With the extreme difference between the music they make, it might come to surprise how legend and former Beatle, Paul McCartney, came into Miley Cyrus' defense after critics slammed her VMA performance.
There might be an endless number of Miley Cyrus haters, but Sir Paul McCartney is not one of them. Time reported how the music legend watched Miley's 'Wrecking Ball' video and her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards and the Beatle was not fazed or alarmed at all.
"I don't think it was explicit at all. You couldn't see anything," said McCartney in an interview with Sky News, as reported by Time. McCartney, who knows the business and the industry a whole lot better than most of Miley's critics, seems to be nonchalant about the whole Miley Cyrus fiasco.
McCartney also took the time to watch Cyrus' MTV performance and defended the ex-Disney star with the sudden change of her image. Not to be fooled, McCartney did say that younger people living in Miley's generation live for "all noise," and less substance.
"I watched it as an experiment to check, but you look at it and you say, 'What's everyone shouting about?' She's a young girl - she's like only 20 or something - and she's just having a go. Someone said to me that the world that people like Miley live in is all noise and they've got to get above the noise. So they've got to do something," said the legend in the same report by Time.
McCartney added that although the whole "twerking" thing is not his cup of tea, he does not view the performance as "shocking" or surprising.
"I think it was only mildly shocking. She was dancing with Robin Thicke at the awards. So what? C'mon, we've all seen worse than that." added McCartney in the interview.
Truly, McCartney and Cyrus are living in two separate spectrums of the music industry, and it is only fair to Cyrus that she gets the kind of criticism that counts, whether positive or negative. Having Sir Paul McCartney on her side might make her ego blow up, but it only means not everyone who matters in the industry loathes what she does.
