Miley Cyrus Relies on Teleprompter on Bangerz Tour

 

While many aging artists rely on teleprompters to help them remember to say things or their

 lyrics or for other assorted cues during live concerts, Miley Cyrus, who is just 21 and in the 

prime of her life, was seen making use of the device during her Bangerz Tour.

While Cyrus’ has taken heat for her show’s sexualized content and for making out with fans and 

Katy Perry, the notion of using a teleprompter is decidedly less scandalous. It’s more or less 

surprising, but not hugely so.

A concert goer told Radar Online, “I was at Miley’s Vegas concert and took these pictures

 because I couldn’t believe she needed a teleprompter with lyrics to all of her songs throughout 

the entire concert. And it’s not like they were just there for nothing — I caught her looking at 

them more than a few times!”

Ease up, Smilers, ease up. It’s not like she was concealing her support system, so to speak.

In the twerker’s defense, there is a lot going on during her concert. Songs! Costume changes! 

Fan interaction! Banter! So she might need a little visual boost to keep it all straight. Go to the

 show and have some fun regardless

AND THE RECORD GOES TO... Adele !

Adele has had a bit of a quiet 2013 – relatively speaking since she did, you know, win an Oscar, in addition to enjoying her first full year as a mother. She managed to notch another accolade without doing much, though.

Her 2011-released smash ’21′ is the first album to sell 3 million digital copies. The album, which landed in January (in Europe) and in February (in the U.S.) of 2011, has sold a total of nearly 11,000,000 copies, landing it at the plum spot of No. 13 on SoundScan’s best-selling platters since the organization began keeping score in 1991.

Yahoo! reports some intriguing facts and figures. Like the fact that ’21′ has sold 7,757,000 copies on CD format – which is just under 75% of the total haul. That’s interesting, given the rapid decline of the compact disc. The 3 million digital copies accounts for about 28% of the total sold, while 40,000 were sold on vinyl LPs, which tallies less than 1% of the total. We must add that Adele’s voice on vinyl must sound like a dream!

Perhaps the fact that so many copies of ’21′ were sold on CD speaks to Adele’s demographic, and proves that most of her fans are of an older demo that still purchases CDs?

Or maybe it’s just the fact that ’21′ is one of those albums that you have to own in hard copy form? Could be!
