Elton does u-turn over Miley's antics

Elton John thinks Miley Cyrus is "a terrific girl" and is flattening her competition.

The 66-year-old British singer, who blasted the 20-year-old singer last week as a "meltdown waiting to happen," following her recent performance at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in New York, claims he isn't a fan of the 'Wrecking Ball' singer's tongue but respects her as an artist.
