    11 Things I Overheard During Miley Cyrus' Bangerz Tour

    I went to Miley's show Saturday at the Staples Center and these were some of the things people said.

    1. "She's definitely doing the tongue thing."

    2. "It's awesome."

    3. "Wooooooooo!"

    4. "Of course."

    5. "Do you know what song this is?"

    Yes, it's "Can't Be Tamed," the 2010 hit in which Miley first attempted to shed her Disney image, though less successfully than she did this time around. She sang the song while dancing around a large dog. I often catch myself forgetting Bangerz isn't Miley's first post-Hannah Montana album, which I guess is exactly what she hoped we'd all do. The unfamiliarity with the few songs she performed off of earlier albums really highlighted what a big deal Bangerz has been for rebooting her image and career.

    6. "Katy Perry's here!"

    7. "I was hoping she'd trade out the weiner for a wrecking ball."

    Same. For "Someone Else," Miley rode a giant hot dog through the air. Unfortunately, it was the only thing she rode through the air during the show. There were no actual wrecking balls.

    8. "Wre-cking-ball! Wre-cking-ball! Wre-cking-ball! Wre-cking-ball!" (chanted the same way we chant "U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!" when we're proud of our hockey team)

    Miley saved most of the big hits for the end of the night, so there was a lot of pent up demand for "Wrecking Ball" and the handful of songs people have actually heard on the radio.

    9. "U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!" (chanted the same way we chant "U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!" when we're proud of our hockey team)

    Miley closed the show with "Party in the U.S.A." There was red, white, and blue confetti; people dressed as the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore and Abraham Lincoln; and everyone sang along. It's the closest our generation has to its own "Proud To Be an American." Or something.

    10. "That bitch is grown-up."

    Yes, it seems she has. The show was everything you've come to expect from Miley Cyrus.

    11. "I love Miley!"
