As a seasoned gamer of life and pop culture, I found myself intrigued by the way The Masked Singer subtly acknowledged Robin Thicke’s history with Miley Cyrus during “Miley Cyrus Night.” It was an interesting choice to have Thicke brush off the connection, considering their infamous VMA performance that left a lasting impression on us all.

This week, The Masked Singer Season 12 resumed its course following the removal of a contestant who was unaware she’d be performing. Another performer was exposed, and despite my regret seeing Ice King depart (revealed as actor Drake Bell), I couldn’t help but notice the conspicuous presence concerning “Miley Cyrus” themed night. Panelist Robin Thicke has a substantial television link to the Grammy-winning singer, but it wasn’t surprising that the show chose not to dwell on this connection.
If you’re unfamiliar with this reference, I’m talking about the 2013 VMA performance featuring Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke on stage. Let’s discuss how the event handled that memorable performance and possibly why it might not have been given more prominence.
How The Masked Singer Briefly Acknowledged Robin Thicke’s Performance With Miley Cyrus
Robin Thicke was given an opportunity to shine during Miley Cyrus’ special event, potentially even outdoing his past momentous appearance with Ken Jeong on “The Masked Singer” Season 7. Interestingly enough, when Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg initiated a discussion about the controversial VMAs performance, Thicke gracefully sidestepped the topic and made this statement instead:
Uh, no. Miley and I have never met.
Initially, the moment brought a huge laugh from both the audience and the panel. However, it was never mentioned again in the rest of the episode, which I found puzzling given its significant impact at the time. Upon reconsidering the aftermath of Robin Thicke’s performance on The Masked Singer, it now seems clear why they chose not to linger on it further.
Why It’s For The Best The Masked Singer Left It Out Of The Episode
2013 VMAs might be remembered as a humorous event by many, but for Miley Cyrus, it was an uncomfortable experience. In subsequent years, the singer has shared that this incident made her hesitant about wearing shorts, and while she’s regained some of her confidence from the foam finger performance, she still appears to feel that she was unnecessarily sexualized during her stage appearance.
Regardless of her current feelings, I understand why it might be inappropriate for The Masked Singer to focus excessively on that particular moment when only some of the performers are available to discuss it. Moreover, Robin Thicke has had other questionable incidents associated with his hit song “Blurred Lines,” which could also warrant attention.
Thicke aims to keep his spot on TMS for an extended period, and by keeping his views and professional connections as uncontroversial as feasible, he increases the likelihood of staying on the panel for a longer time.
The 12th season of “The Masked Singer” carries on every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. ET on Fox. In this series, TopMob has been privy to some fascinating tales from the contestants, and if you’re curious about such stories, don’t miss out on Andy Richter‘s narration about his encounter with Conan O’Brien’s late-night competitor, Jay Leno.
