Kylie Minogue defends Miley Cyrus's X-rated stage antics

Kylie Minogue has revealed that she admires Miley Cyrus' crazy stage antic.

The 45-year-old Australian singer has backed the 21-year-old American recording artist and said the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker has been made a "scapegoat" for what might be happening in a broader sense in pop music, the Daily Star reported.

Minogue added that the critics are turning on Cyrus for her X-rated stage performances because she is a woman, as there has always been sex, drugs and rock and roll but the male artists are allowed to get away with it.
