Last night, Miley Cyrus arrived to the MTV Video Music Awards and many were wondering, even without performing, how she would top her antics from last year.
During the telecast, Miley would go on to win the moon man for Video of the Year for "Wrecking Ball", but when it came time for her acceptance speech, she opted out.
Instead, a young man by the name of Jesse took the stage, and this is what he said:
"My name is Jesse and I am accepting this award on behalf of the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost and scared for their lives right now. I know this because I am one of these people,”
"I survived in shelters all over the city. I've cleaned your hotel rooms, I've been an extra in your movies, I've been an extra in your life. Though I may have been invisible to you on the streets, I have a lot of the same dreams that brought many of you here tonight."
Miley was clearly emotional during Jesse's speech, as he seemed also seemed very nervous to be speaking in front of the world. Props to presenter Jimmy Fallon for staying on stage and holding the microphone for him.
Once again Miley, you never cease to amaze me.
In a world where pop stars are clamoring to be on top, deliver performances to be talked about, and leaving fans wondering who will take the torch in pop music?
Miss Cyrus could do just that.
Bravo.
