Miley Cyrus at the sold-out concert 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 to the bridge of the song 'We Got the Party,' her dancers began to crowd around her," one concert-goer 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 oversize white glasses. The whole time this was happening, Miley's vocals were still playing. The imposter had her back turned while she danced, trying to hide the fact that she was not Miley Cyrus. At this instant, I became very suspicious." "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 Cyrus does indeed rely on a 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. Info gathered from www.eonline.com Also, if you want to see this for yourself: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7Ni2hTOU7Gw Notice in the vid: At around 2:30, the male dancer in the green shirt throws a black sheet over Hannah as she slips in one side of the door on the platform. Then, her double comes out (with sunglasses on) from the other side.
The body double was only on stage for a few seconds, and the switcheroo was relatively innocuous. But since it involved the "Hannah Montana" show - the sold out tour for which tickets have been scalped for hundreds of dollars - even the use of a brief stand-in for its star, 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, was enough to cause plenty of buzz when video of the switch was posted on the Internet. A scandal? Or just needed time to change? Tell me what you think!
