Yesterday, OK! reported that some Miley Cyrus fans were upset about the apparent use of a not-very-convincing body double during a portion of the 15-year-old singer’s concert performance. (CLICK HERE for story). Now, a rep for the teen sensation has reached out to OK! to explain just why the double is utilized.
"To help speed the transition from Hannah to Miley, there is a production element during the performance of "We Got the Party" incorporating a body double for Miley," the rep explains to OK!. "After Hannah has completed the featured verse on the duet with the Jonas Brothers, a body double appears approximately 1 to 2 minutes prior to the end of the song in order to allow Miley to remove the Hannah wig and costume and transform into Miley for her solo set. Other than during this very brief transitional moment in the show, Miley performs live during the entirety of both the Hannah and Miley segments of the concert."

Even though teen sensation Miley Cyrus was able to weather a recent minor scandal involving some semi-racy pics of the Hannah Montana star and a female friend, some fans of the 15-year-old are feeling cheated following some apparent on stage shenanigans.
According to several fans who dished out hundreds of dollars to catch the young singer perform live on her current sold-out national tour, it appears Miley may be using a not-very-convincing “Hannah” double to cover for her during a mysterious mid-song disappearance from the stage.
“When it got the to bridge of the song “We Got the Party,” her dancers began to crowd around her,” one ticked-off Miley fan tells OK!. “Then they covered her with a black sheet and she went through a secret door. Within a second, a new ‘Hannah’ came out of a different door wearing oversized white glasses. The whole time this was happening Miley’s vocals were still playing. The new imposter had her back turned while she danced, trying to hide that fact that she was not Miley Cyrus. At this instant I became very suspicious.”
“Needless to say I was furious!” says the irate fan. “I paid good money to see the concert. I was disappointed and I felt like I was played for a fool.”
Calls to Miley’s rep for comment have not been returned.
