Finally, Papa Cyrus speaks out in regards to his daughter’s pole dancing at the Teen Choice Awards.

When asked about Miley Cyrus‘s provocative performance (the 16 year-old jumped on top of an ice cream cart, where she danced with the pole attached to it), her dad saw it all as part of the business.

“You know what? I just think that Miley loves entertaining people. She loves singing [and] songwriting. I always tell her to love what you’re doing and stay focused for the love of the art and not worry so much about opinions.”

Is it just me, or does it seem as if he missed that particular performance altogether?
