Unraveling the Hidden Stories of The Masked Singer

How The Masked Singer Briefly Acknowledged Robin Thicke’s Performance With Miley Cyrus

During The Masked Singer Season 12, Robin Thicke had a golden opportunity to shine on Miley Cyrus Night. One might have expected him to make a significant moment, perhaps even surpassing his previous appearance with Ken Jeong in The Masked Singer Season 7. However, when Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg opened the floor for him to comment on the infamous 2013 VMA performance with Miley Cyrus, Thicke played it cool and stated, "Uh, no. Miley and I have never met." This unexpected response led to a big laugh from the crowd and the panel. But interestingly, this was the only mention of the VMA performance for the rest of the episode. At first, it seemed strange, considering the magnitude of that event. But upon revisiting the aftermath, it becomes clear why Robin Thicke and The Masked Singer chose not to dwell on it.The 2013 VMA performance was a significant moment that left a lasting impact. Miley Cyrus has shared in the past how it affected her confidence and how she felt needlessly sexualized on stage. Despite her current acceptance, it would have been inappropriate for The Masked Singer to focus too much on that moment with only one side of the performing duo present. Moreover, Robin Thicke had his own share of scandalous events surrounding the song "Blurred Lines."

Why It’s For The Best The Masked Singer Left It Out Of The Episode

Although the 2013 VMA performance may seem like a laughing matter now, it was a painful experience for Miley Cyrus. Her words and actions since then show that she has been working on reclaiming her confidence. By not dwelling too much on the past, The Masked Singer is able to maintain a respectful and appropriate tone. Thicke, on the other hand, wants to have a long and successful tenure on TMS. By keeping his opinions and career references as noncontroversial as possible, he increases his chances of remaining on the panel.The Masked Singer Season 12 continues to captivate audiences on Fox every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. ET.
