Blurred Lines
Early into 2014, he has already figured in yet another controversy that will rock his and wife Paula's boat anew.
Twerkaholic artist Miley Cyrus and Blurred Lines singer Robin Thicke crossed paths once again but this time backstage at the downtown Los Angeles event and with a good measure of awkwardness.
Back in August, R&B singer Robin Thicke filed a lawsuit against the Gaye family, who claimed that the singer’s song “Blurred Lines” copied Marvin Gaye’s classic “Got to Give It Up.” The case hit a lull with no major developments, until now.
First she stole summer, then she stole the show. Just last spring, she was known as the “Blurred Lines” chick, and now she’s Esquire’s “Woman of the Year.”
Despite the harsh backlash from his racy “Blurred Lines” music video, which features topless models prancing around Thicke and fellow musicians Pharrell Williams and T.I. as if they were gods, the R&B singer finds himself right back at the center of attention after a recent interview with Elle Magazine.
Many "Blurred Lines" criticisms revolved around words such as "misogynistic," "belittling" and even rapey,” but fans and critics alike are also curious of how the star model, the brunette everyone fell in love with, dubbed the “girls who stole summer,” Emily Ratajkowski, took to the video's fame and infamy.
Robin Thicke, a mature, well respected artist who has long been in the music industry, agreed to partake in such the unsavory VMA performance with Miley Cyrus. However, he dodged the bullets of mainstream media.
Not only did "Blurred Lines" propel Robin Thicke’s career to unfathomable levels, but it’s also provided the video’s head model Emily Ratajkowski with a plethora of new opportunities.

Back in August, R&B singer Robin Thicke filed a lawsuit against the Gaye family, who claimed that the singer’s song “Blurred Lines” copied Marvin Gaye’s classic “Got to Give It Up.” Thicke, and many other musicians, agree that musical influences can be heard in nearly every song on the radio.
Cyrus got the attention she desired, and now in response to the mass criticism, Cyrus finally speaks out for the first time since her VMA shindig with Robin Thicke.
Gaye vs. Thicke, the ultimate copyright infringement showdown of the century.
Luke Bryan's album 'Crash My Party' topped the charts as the number one album, and Katy Perry's 'Roar' dominated as the number one download.
"Best Male Video" is one of the most coveted and cutthroat awards of this year's ceremony.
While the majority of frustration and anger has been directed towards Thicke, the singer is now on the other side of the firing squad.
