Miley Cyrus’ performance with Robin Thicke at the MTV Video Music Awards 2013 was the most talked about moment of the night, with many saying she should be ashamed for pulling such a stunt. Not so Britney Spears.

In her Good Morning America interview to announce her 2-year Las Vegas residency, Britney also talked a bit about Miley and how she personally believes she did a great job.

“I think anytime you do a performance that is that memorable, you're going to have criticism. I think she's doing her thing. She's being herself, so I give props to her,” Brit says.

Of course, Britney knows all about being criticized for a VMAs performance.

Back in the day, she too set tongues wagging by showing up on stage in a nude-colored bodysuit, performing with a snake and, how could we forget?, kissing Madonna on the lips.
