"   Miley Cyrus has become synonymous with controversy but on Saturday Night Live she put an end to all the bad role-model jibes with a refreshingly raw and rather incredible performance.  We weren&amp;#039;t sure the signer could top her sledge hammer licking and twerking but on Saturday night she proved just why she deserves our attention as she took to the stage on SNL. Our jaws dropped even further than when we watched the MTV VMAs but this time it was for all the right reasons.  SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH MILEY PERFORM ON SNL Miley hosted the show and in her opening monologue declared her alter-ego Hannah Montana was dead, just in case you were in any doubt! She also laid down the law that she was ready to restore her reputation and warned there would be no twerking tonight, she said: &amp;#039;I used to think it was cool but now that all the white people are doing it, it seems kind of lame.&amp;#039; She also refused to apologise for the VMAs but we were anything but sorry when she did an acoustic performance of We Can&amp;#039;t Stop backed by guitars. Miley&amp;#039;s vocals were strong, sensuous and served to show that when you strip back the racey outfits and crazy moves she&amp;#039;s a very talented star.  Watch Miley Cyrus&amp;#039; acoustic version of We Can&amp;#039;t Stop [HD] Miley Cyrus - We Can&amp;#039;t Stop - SNL 10-5-13 by IdolxMuzic But don&amp;#039;t forget this is Miley and she also included some silliness as she did a spoof video, the scene opened in a post- apocalyptic America after Miley&amp;#039;s MTV VMA performance has caused the ruin of America. We also see the former sweet, long-haired Miley warning the present-day Miley that her performance could be too controversial and she should wear more clothes. The sketch was also a way for Miley to justify her recent behaviour as she said: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m only 20 years old, I need some freedom to grow up and make mistakes. What&amp;#039;s so scandalous?&amp;#039;  And the fun didn&amp;#039;t stop there, Miley sung Wrecking Ball but on this occasion covered up in a football shirt that was sheer and showed off her underwear but she resisted temptation to do any racey dance moves.
