Miley Pays Tribute To MJ - And Flies!

Last night in Portland was the kick-off to Miley Cyrus' Wonder World Tour.

During the show, the Disney pop princess paid tribute to Michael Jackson with a short rendition of the Thriller dance.

Short and sweet, nothing too embarrassing. We think she did a decent job.

Skip ahead to the 4:05 mark to watch her strut some MJ moves.

Watch the whole thing to see the elaborate stage set up for her song Fly On The Wall. She effing FLIES!

      i don't see how anyone like that song. "Fly on the wall" is garbage.



    2. 2

      AWESOME!



    3. 3

      …I sometimes lose sight of just how many people MJ has inspired.



    4. 4

      p.s. - this tour looks funnnn! i must get tickets!



    5. 5

      good performance. it amazing how people who can't sing with crappy songs can simply put on a good show with effects and all that and it makes it good.



    6. 6

      LMAO wtf was that!



    7. 7

      That was surprisingly good, but the frog thing was a bit weird at the beginning. Very sweet of her to do that though. Job well done.



    8. 8

      That was a 4 min. waste of my life.



    9. 9

      damn miley was gettin it .. kudos to her



    10. 10

      she's cute. not bad for a teenie boper



    11. 11

      Please you call that a tribute??? Girlfriend can NOT dance!



    12. 12

      i cannot wait for her to disappear.



    13. 13

      wth was she wearing?!?!?



    14. 14

      that was really gay…try the whole song next time



    15. 15

      oooh that was fun to watch… but i couldn't understand the words… the frog thing took too long.. miley's so young and she got to work that harness thing. envy!



    16. 16

      Those were Michael Jackson moves? Could have fooled me ..



    17. 17

      Amen! Regardless of his personal issues, Michael was a musical genius.



    18. 18

      A cute tribute, kudos to her! MJ was such an inspiration! He is certainly going to live in our hearts and music forever.



    20. 20

      I LOVE HER!!! Go Miley!



    21. 21

      Amazing! Vocals rocked, dancing rocked and holy wow at the flying!! You go Miley coco!!!



    22. 22

      Re: Soda-Pop-Lover – pretty sure you credit more of that to the producers and folks that put the performance together than her though.

      also, where is the other half of her outfit? FUGLY.



    23. 23

      That "Fly on the Wall" sound copied from the B-52's.



    24. 24

      You used to rag on her all the time & now you're her best friend?!?

      Regardless of how much you rag on her, girl can certainly give a great performance.



    25. 25

      BFD, Garth Brooks did this bigger and better years ago and he is no slight teenage girl. Why doesn't she try to do an acrobatic act while singing like Pink did? Didn't think so!



    26. 26

      Madonna did it. Drowned world tour.



    27. 27

      the flying was terrible it should've been more graceful
      and she should not have done a michael tribute



    28. 28

      the part where she flys is unexpected and sick as hell! and i enjoyed the MJ part, i like the last move, looks like fun to do….hahah:_)



    29. 29

      i dont like miley cyrus too much.



    30. 30

      Re: Yellow Peeps – …agreed…it's always about the music to me. I keep people's personal stuff out of my mind as best as i can and zero in on the talent.



    31. 31

      that was KICK ASS. Okay her vocals weren't great. But do you know a 16 year old that could kick up that on stage? the jo bros are hardly doing it are they?



    32. 32

      How old is she? 16, 17? And look how short the front of that dress is. She must be desperate. Beautiful girl, wrong decisions. But it was very nice of Miley to do a thriller bit. RIP Michael



    33. 33

      This is what happens when two musicians fornicate, the offspring of Michael Jackson's Thriller and Madonna's like a little Virgin…

      She is well on her way to becoming a Britney Spears tragedy.



    34. 34

      wow
      this is why she is my ROLE MODEL

    35. bee85 says – reply to this


      35

      WHAT IS SHE WEARING????



    36. 36

      As usual, the ghostwriter, aka Barbara is wrong again. Asshole. The tour did not kick off yesterday. It opened Monday the 14th. Can't you idiots check your facts for once without posting mistakes and misinformation.



    37. 37

      I LOVE UR USERNAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      38

      EPIC! fail.

    39. Paty says – reply to this


      39

      Pathetic.
      Her dress is lame.



    40. 40

      LOL YEA!!!!!!!!!!



    41. 41

      the lil thriller part was kind of cute



    42. 42

      WAIT !!!! is it just me or does that song sound EXACTLY like ROCK LOBSTER by the B52s - of course any Miley fan would be too young to know but my old crusty ass wanted to see her MJ moves. Someone call the B52s they are being ripped off and need to sue.



    43. 43

      i like miley but what the hell was she wearing..



    44. 44

      uummm…. miley is lame
      and cant dance.



    45. 45

      that sucked horribly. i dislike miley even more by watching this.

      46

      This video takes way to dang long to load for crying out loud!



    47. 47

      She SUCKS live!! But OMG!! "When I look at you", "Obsessed" og "Party in the USA" are simply awesome (when not live)



    48. 48

      haha hmmm



    49. 49

      cool

    50. liisu says – reply to this


      50

      Don't know about the skirt. Wasn't it a bit too short?? But the performance was cool. Kudos.



    51. 51

      awesome. i didn't like her much, but lately, i'm completely changing my opinion of her.



    52. 52

      NICE JOB!!! LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON!!!



    53. 53

      The thriller thing is fine, but Miley in the outfit just looks ridiculous



    54. 54

      i bet everybody got a nice view up her slutty dress with her flying through the air like that.



    55. 55

      Sorry but WHAT THE FUCK is she wearing?!



    56. 56

      what a bitch.
      do NOT incorpoorate slutty pumping moves into a classic.



    57. 57

      her outfit was too short (as always) and did you hear the difference between her song and michael's? YES: her song sucks. A LOT!



    58. 58

      YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE COME TO REALIZE? JUST ABOUT ANYONE CAN DO WHAT MILEY CYRUS DOES. THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYTHING SPECIAL ABOUT HER. SHE OBVIOUSLY TRIES TO EMULATE EVERY PERFORMER SHE'S EVER SEEN AND HER "PERFORMANCE" IS BASICALLY A "ROCK ACT" OR WHAT SHE THINKS ONE SHOULD BE. IT SUCKS WATCHING HER. SHE ACTUALLY MAKES BRITNEY LOOK LIKE AN ARTIST.



    59. 59

      God I love her, haha.



    60. 60

      LOVES IT. the choreo was sick for her song, and the staging was great. so what if the beginning was a little bizarre - it set the mood for the rest of the piece. not even really a miley fan, but i liked it.



    61. 61

      it was cool.

      Re: DawnRiot87 – sorry honey you are gonna have to wait a loooooongg time haha



    63. 63

      Re: Nelly_In_SJ – OMG exactly! she is one of the stupidest ppl i no. her and her goldigger mom and money obsessed daddy need yo LEAVE pls! i hate how u fans try to stick up for her. we aint gonna change our minds. PS rnt all u miley fans a lil to young to be on this website? ? rnt u like 9 and under?



    64. 64

      what the fuck was she wearing? that wasnt even long enough to be a skirt in the front…what a slut



    65. 65

      it was pretty decent, but what she was wearing looked horrible.



    66. 66

      aawright Miley!



    67. 67

      Wth, what kind of song is that!? She sounded bad btw, along with the wardrobe. The flying was cool, minus she looked like an idiot doing whatever she was doing in the air. Anyway, she kinda failed at Thriller, but props for at least doing it.



    68. 68

      they song is not that bad, but i don't get what she's wearing! like the skirt… it's fugly!



    69. 69

      i have a very love/hate feeling for miley cyrus. while i love her new songs, i hate her. why should she be famous? she CANT act, or sing live. there are people out there that deserve this much more than her. to me it feels as when i see her in interviews she takes everything for granted. and as for her dress.. i feel sorry for the front row who got to see her front bum. i hope she was wearing something underneath.. not appropriate at all for a role model!



    70. 70

      Have you ever heard of such a thing as SAMPLING— most of your favorite artists do it so please don't hate on Miley for doing it… She is justrying to have a career… the glorification or bashing of artists should stop..just let them do their thing, and if you like it, buy the CD or go to the Concert and buy the t-shirt, if not, then don't.



    71. 71

      i ENVY her real bad. life's not fair. she isnt even that exceptionally talented!

    72. diya says – reply to this


      72

      loved the MJ tribute but wtff was she wearing????



    73. 73

      why did perez do a complete 180 with this girl??



    74. 74

      Soooo stupid



    75. 75

      That was fucking AWESOME 0.0 but WTF she was wearing!!



    76. 76

      that outfit is so ugly! and that flying is so stupid and cliche! didnt britney do that in one of her very first tours?!? god ridiculous! that was no mj tribute either it was just a bunch of skanky pevlic thrusts for a 16 yo hooker



    77. 77

      what the hell was she wearing? a cotton candy skirt with the front missing??



    78. 78

      oh my gosh this is cool!!!



    79. 79

      i don't like what she is wearing it looks like she is rapped around toilet paper



    80. 80

      wtf?!
      "decent job" my ass… she looks stupid!



    81. 81

      miley cyrus is the biggest hoe in the world. she cant sing, she cant act, and she DEFINATLY cant dance. this shameful to poor michael. gross. she looks like a hooker and acts like one too.



    82. 82

      She did a great job.
      I am actually getting less sick of her by the day.
      She's doing something nice.



    83. 83

      I absolutely cannot stand this white trash slut.



    84. 84

      well its nice that she's letting the little kiddies. know what thriller is.

      yea about that outift. lol

      but yea miley just stick to the best of both worlds from now on and dont ruin

      thriller and i love rock and roll. okay

    86. 86

      Love her



    87. 87

      LOVE the song!!! its sooo amazing and out there! =D i aso love the way Miley never fails to surprise!!! the dress and her flying into the audiance are gutfull and turn out AMAZING!!! the Thriller tribute is the perfect way to end the song!!!
      even if u hate her u have to admit she is unique!!! its her constantly different performances that make her concerts so brilliant!!! =D



    88. 88

      SHE LOOKED AMAZING FLYING AROUND! Soooo epic!!!!!!!!
      Def getting tickets to this in the UK



    89. 89

      she CAN NOT dance, she copies everything from former artists, i know so many people who are so much more talented then her, BUT she deserves her money because she's worked for it, no discussion about that!!



    90. 90

      The worst MJ Tribute I have ever seen to date. EVER. WTF was she thinking. Michael is probably glad he is not alive to witness such a pathetic "homage" to him. RIP Michael. Leave the tributes to talented performers Miley… wtf.



    91. 91

      i cant believe i just wasted 30 seconds of my life on that.



    92. 92

      :) that was sweet… but i didn't like all the fly on the wall thing :S



    93. 93

      God Perez. Seriously. Why can't you just say that she made a tribute other than you pretty much being a Munt?



    94. 94

      Re: jocelynbabiii – I know you're tryin' to name drop but you sound lame. jealous much? talentless much? that sums you up nicely I bet



    95. 95

      her outfit makes the world slut come to mind, don't get me wrong i love her music but she needs to clean up her image



    96. 96

      Wow, she's about as talented as - Brooke Hogan! She sucks.



    97. 97

      wtf happened at the very beginning of this video? that scared the shit outta me! i was like wtf is up with the frog ribbiting for 5 minutes and some guys climbing up walls; dramatic much? it was totally not nessisary!! but watever; her outfit looked like something Lady Gaga wuld wear and only Lady Gaga can pull off her style haha and that Thriller dance sucked ass i only reconized like 2 dance moves and the other shit was all whorish like. i hate her shes a skanky little hoe that needs to just go away



    98. 98

      um…wtf was she wearing O.o
      but it was ok…i guess



    99. 99

      Her song is garbage but her tribute to Mj amazed me, u did a pretty good job miley
