Miley Cyrus' booty-shaking VMA performance gets quite the reaction Updated 1:35 p.m. There's a lot to say about Miley Cyrus' provacative booty-shaking, twerk-heavy MTV Video Music Awards performance from Sunday night. This was one performance that won't be forgotten very quickly. This after Cyrus gave Robin Thicke a lap dance, paraded around with dancing bears, twerked her butt off and grabbed her crotch a few times. Not to mention the tongue. We saw a lot of that.

Take a look at some of the other reactions: According to MTV News, despite reports to the contrary, Will Smith and his family weren't watching Cyrus when a snapshot was taken of them looking surprised at the VMAs; they were actually taking in Lady Gaga's performance -- and seemed to be enjoying it. MTV has the footage from its All Access Cameras here. Here was the shot that initially went viral, but was falsely attributed: Tell us: What did you think about Cyrus' performance?
