Miley Cyrus Dissapoints Fans By Using Body Double
Fans of Miley Cyrus paid big money to see her in her tour where she shows herself as both Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus. The concert – which is sold out – features some of her biggest hits including the debut song with the Jonas Brothers. One eager fan that went to see the concert was disappointed when he noticed that she was using a body double through certain parts of the concert.
The singer, who performs both as herself and her Disney Channel alterego on the sold-out tour, was accused in an OK! magazine report this week of using a body double during a brief portion of her show. “When it got the to bridge of the song ‘We Got the Party,’ her dancers began to crowd around her,” one concertgoer told the magazine.
“Then they covered her with a black sheet and she went through a secret door. Within a second, a new ‘Hannah’ came out of a different door wearing oversized white glasses. The whole time this was happening Miley’s vocals were still playing. The new imposter had her back turned while she danced, trying to hide that fact that she was not Miley Cyrus. At this instant I became very suspicious.” (See video of the switcheroo.) “Needless to say I was furious!” the irate fan added. “I paid good money to see the concert. I was disappointed and I felt like I was played for a fool.”
In the wake of the report, a rep for the Hannah Montana star confirmed that Cyrus does indeed rely on body double for a brief part of her set in order to allow her to transform from Hannah back into herself. “To help speed the transition from Hannah to Miley, there is a production element during the performance of ‘We Got the Party’ incorporating a body double for Miley,” the rep said in a statement.
“After Hannah has completed the featured verse on the duet with the Jonas Brothers, a body double appears approximately one to two minutes prior to the end of the song in order to allow Miley to remove the Hannah wig and costume and transform into Miley for her solo set. “Other than during this very brief transitional moment in the show, Miley performs live during the entirety of both the Hannah and Miley segments of the concert,” the rep added. The body double debacle is just the latest mini-scandal to affect Cyrus, who last month spoke up to defend herself over a series of so-called racy photos of her and a friend that were leaked on to the Internet.
