Miley Cyrus at her best (Original Post) backwoodsbob Oct 2013 OP
She still has her voice antiquie Oct 2013 #1
she is a trainwreck happening backwoodsbob Oct 2013 #2
I think she is more self-aware than that. antiquie Oct 2013 #3
I tend to agree davidpdx Oct 2013 #16
I agree. Great voice and having fun! bigwillq Oct 2013 #7

I'm not thrilled with her phrasing, but... TreasonousBastard Oct 2013 #4
seriously?...really? backwoodsbob Oct 2013 #5
Really. OK, she "disco'd" it and doesn't have that background pathos... TreasonousBastard Oct 2013 #15
She sings it better than Dolly Parton! B Calm Oct 2013 #6
They rushed through that. She needs to slow it down a tad. Tuesday Afternoon Oct 2013 #8
Oh, I like this one too! GreenPartyVoter Oct 2013 #11
yeah, there is the difference in a soprano(Mindy) and an alto(Miley) but, I think Miley's version Tuesday Afternoon Oct 2013 #13

The only downside to that video is an appearance of **! GreenPartyVoter Oct 2013 #14

I find it amazing how judgemental people can be towards a 20 year-old. Chan790 Oct 2013 #18

she does OK-- for a wedding singer. She's good, but not golden good.

For a great cover, check out Olivia Newton-John's...



This is one of the most covered songs around, and even though Dolly herself likes Mindy Smith's the best, nobody, nobody-- does it like Dolly.

but she does sing the hell out of it.

btw, Allison Krauss does it right...



And, finally, Miley and her godmother, so there is something to be said for her...


Miley will do it right if and when she gets that final pro polish.

All she has to do is work like this for the rest of her life and she will be considered one of the greats.

Sticking her tongue out and twerping (sic), not so much.

It's like they don't remember being 20.

20 is doing crazy shit for the lulz because you're still certain you're invincible. 20 is experimenting because you're not really sure who you are or what you stand for. 20 fucking sucks because you're just old enough that old people expect you to be responsible for yourself but you're not yet responsible enough to legally buy beer or rent a car. 20 means you're an adult but people older than you feel liberated to treat you like a child.

The girl's gonna be fine.

Most of y'all were a lot worse a lot less publicly and you turned out fine.
