You know who haas a fucking great voice? Miley Cyrus

This drama with Miley Cyrus made me check her out a little more.

She has that 1981 Stevie Nicks nasally vibrato

I am listening to this live version of Wrecking Ball/cover of Nothing Compares To You and it kills.

And I really liked her cover of Heart of Glasss

Totally agree. Great vocalist.

by Anonymousreply 1July 27, 2024 10:38 PM

You have got to be kidding. I saw her sing live on TV two separate times and each time she was off key and out of tempo.

by Anonymousreply 2July 27, 2024 10:55 PM

I think she is a good singer. I do wonder what caused the drastic change in her voice though. Smoking? Cocaine? Bad technique? All of the above?

She started to lean heavily into covering rock songs a couple of years ago, maybe because her voice as it is now is better suited for them. I liked her cover of "Doll Parts". A bit more vocally embellished than what Courtney is capable of, though I still prefer Courtney's singing on the original by far.

I wouldn't call myself a fan but I realized she was a real deal when I saw her on an episode of "Black Mirror", which ended with this cover of "Head Like A Hole" by Nine Inch Nails.

No joke- This 2022 live "album" on Youtube is a fucking revelation. I like this bitch!!!!! Like really like her! She is better than Taylor by 3000 light years-

I have stuck with my core artists for a long time (Tori/Father John Misty/Kate/Daughtry- don't laugh! Chris rules./Oasis/Beach House/Joni/Fleet Foxes/Old Beck stuff--I finally started listening to Taylor and like some of it- but Miley's voice is peak Stevie Nicks- just a GREAT fucking voice. I am impressed!

I want to try out some Halsey soon-

But I am a new Miley fan for life I think.

I wasn’t a Miley fan until the break-up/voice change, but I must say she consistently impresses me nowadays… her cover of Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” with Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma (!), WATT and others from Elton’s phenomenal The Lockdown Sessions duets album is utterly spectacular.

Miley is one badass bitch who has it all together. She's a natural star with a boatload of confidence beyond her years and the talent to carry her through an entire career. I loved her flirty sexy Grammy performance of Flowers at this year's Grammys. What did that stud Liam Hemsworth fellow do to make her leave?

She does. Even if it’s not technically up to specs, her voice is unique and recognizable.

It’s why all the qualified singers who win the Voice don nothing. You need a signature tone.

She's losing it though and it's becoming quite noticeable. She smokes like a chimney and drinks like an Irishman. Still a great talent, and I can't stand her but she's good enough I can admit it, too bad it will be gone soon.

Liam didn't leave Miley, Miley left Liam....they made it one year as husband and "wife," a term Miley hates.

Liam's alleged partying habits ultimately led Miley to leave their relationship. "Everyone always thinks Miley is problematic and immature and a hard-core partier while he’s this chill surfer dude, but that’s actually [not accurate]," the insider said. "Liam parties with his friends, and Miley thinks he should’ve grown out of that by now."

Plastic Hearts is SUCH a great album. The inspiration was Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, glam rock 80s realness and she pulls it off flawlessly. She even got legendary punk photographer Mick Rock to shoot the cover. It was fairly infuriating to watch her blow up with the following album instead, which wasn’t nearly as good.

by Anonymousreply 36July 28, 2024 1:23 AM

I do want to throttle her for her version of Heart of Glass. Heart of Glass is all about sophisticated song about ennui in a long term relationship. Miley sings it like it's the last time she plans on using her larynx.

R37 I don’t know, I appreciated that she leaned into the Miley-ness of it all and just went balls to the wall. She would never be able to replicate Deb’s icy detached delivery.

Is it sacrilegious to say I prefer her version of “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me” to Elton’s?

I love covers. I usually never get bugged by them. I love different interpretations but her cover of Heart of Glass is just so off that I can't. Not to drone on about it but it's one of the most sophisticated songs to ever top the pop charts. The song didn't deserve that beating Miley gave it.

I do think she’d be a better fit for “Call Me” than “Heart of Glass.” She’d kill “One Way or Another” too.

FUN MILEY FACT: she was born Destiny Hope Cyrus, but as an infant and toddler she was constantly smiling, so she was called Smiley, and that nickname morphed into Miley.

And it's no surprise she was cast as Hannah Montana. She has charisma to spare. I don't think nepotism had that much to do with it.

I don't get it- why isn't she out there absolutely *killing* it, career wise? She should be Taylor Swift's #1 competitor. Of course she's worlds better- incredible pipes, incredible intensity when performing live. But.....she just sort of bops around and does mostly covers? I mean they're *great* but why isn't she putting the same time into developing her own genre/sound? I think that's the problem- she seems a bit lost in this regard. The 'Flowers' song is catchy but in an earworm-y kind of a way and doesn't really do justice to her abilities. She needs a great producer to make a pop/rock album of stripped down, my-heart-is-bleeding, gritty songs. Album of the Year- guaranteed.
