9 Ways Madonna And Miley Are Kind Of The Same Person

When Madonna took the stage to perform a mash-up of "Don't Tell Me" and "We Can't Stop" with Miley Cyrus during the young pop star'sepisode of "Unplugged," a few similarities between the two jumped to mind — aside from their matching cowgirl outfits and protruding tongues.

"I grew up listening to Madonna and a lot of what she represented for me is what I try to represent to girls now," Cyrus told MTV News. "Not being afraid of sexuality and really being who you want to be and doing what you want to do. And that's what 'Don't Tell Me' is about....I feel like 'We Can't Stop' is kind of the 2013 version of 'Don't Tell Me.' "

And, in a lot of ways, Miley Cyrus is the 2013 version of Madonna. Granted, Cyrus has a long way to go before she reaches Madge's icon status, but she certainly does seem to share some of the Queen of Pop's DNA.  MTV News breaks down their shared traits below...
