![]() ![]() The same can be said for her powerful rendition of Jolene, "written by my Aunt Dolly (Parton)," in which Cyrus demonstrated not only her country roots but also a deep respect for the musicianship that accompanies the genre. When she belted out Adore You off her oft-sampled Bangerz album, Cyrus imparted a passion, clarity and sensitivity that stands in stark contrast to eye-rolling foam-finger antics. ( Sex the coffee-table book anyone?) Cyrus is likely intent on the doing the same.īut not without reminding people that inside the Disney-raised phenom lurks a bona fide singing talent. ![]() Madonna was twerking before Cyrus was a gleam in Billy Ray's eye, and pointedly ignored all the finger-wagging that her jaw-dropping antics inspired back in the day. There is an obvious message to be read into a moment that finds these two mavericks singing in unison, "Please don't tell me to stop." Those in the studio audience got a bonus Cyrus forgot to wear her white cowboy hat to contrast with Madonna's black one, so the two went at it again. Madonna, dressed like a glittering mashup between a gun slinger and a swashbuckler from Pirates of the Caribbean, joined Cyrus to bump and grind through Madge's infectious Don't Tell Me. Striding onto a stripped-down stage with country touches – hay bales, wooden risers and a giant wagon wheel looming overhead – Cyrus pounded through 10 songs that showcased her prodigious pipes and ended with a pop-culture bang.

But never one to take a break, the pop singer is keeping up the momentum with yet another cover - this time, of the beloved Cranberries track "Zombie."Īs part of NIVA's Save Our Stages Fest (where she performed at Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles), Cyrus performed a three-song setlist which included her disco-infused single "Midnight Sky" and a cover of The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry." But one would be hard-pressed to think about either of those tracks after hearing her tackle The Cranberries' "Zombie." Covering one of the most beloved song by one of the most beloved bands in the world, Cyrus ups the ante by bringing her typical gusto and signature sky-reaching vocal flair, attacking the impossibly high " in your heeeaaaad" parts with noticeable aplomb. Over the last few months, the pop star has covered everything from Hall & Oates' " Maneater" to Billie Eilish's " my future" to Blondie's " Heart of Glass."
