Kelis: "Leave Miley Alone!"

SINGER Kelis reckons the world need to cut Miley Cyrus some slack!

The Acapella hitmaker says she can relate to the 17-year-old starlet.

“People kinda need to get off her back,” says Kelis. “If you’re an artist and if you’re any good, your feelings are on your sleeve.

“Who wasn’t like that at 17, 18? People forget that just because you are in the public eye they think you’re supposed to temper yourself…’I'm living my life out loud.’ I remember that. You’re finding your way.”
