Miley Cyrus, Madonna
Madonna and Miley Cyrus shared the same stage earlier this year on MTV Unplugged, collaborating on Madonna’s 2000 hit, “Don’t Tell Me.”

Madonna rides this disco ball on her Confessions Tour in 2005.
Miley Cyrus
… just as Miley put her own twist on in the Terry Richardson-directed “Wrecking Ball” video that was a smash last year.
Madonna
Madonna’s been sexing things up with booty-related antics for years, raising serious eyebrows with her racy Oct. 1992 tome, “Sex” — the month before Miley was born!

Despite that, the media couldn’t stop squawking about the sexy schtick Miley brought to her winter tour, bumping and grinding on Santa.
Madonna

Miley pulls a similar move during a 2013 concert. Oh Hannah, what happened?

The “We Can’t Stop” was seen in a similar light in her clip for “Adore You” last year.
Madonna
Scampering around with her male dancers? Madonna did that on the ’90 circuit …
Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus
And Miley was quick to copy — make that pay homage to — incorporating the provocative pose into her stage show.
