For those of you who have an irrational hate of Miley Cyrus (much like my dislike of Taylor Swift) and call her a talentless hack, I present to you her performance of Jolene, a brilliant tune originally sung by the incomparable Dolly Parton. While I'm not a fan of Miley's current methods to shed her bubblegum-farts Disney persona, I stand by that she is a talented performer who can actually sing when she's not humping foam fingers and disgusting, chauvinistic men who are way too old for her.
Just watch the video below and let me know what you think in the comments!
Peace.
Stef.

I personally find Miley's voice to be highly unique. Yes, she has a bit of Minnesota Mush Mouth, but that adds to it's uniqueness in my opinion. The raspy quality is also easily recognizable, especially in the bubblegum pop world with ingenue-type voices.
No, I'm not a die hard fan, but I do like some of her songs.
Here's my take: she's growing as an individual, coming into her own, and honestly... I think she's going to be a major force to be reckoned with once she finds what that is. Technique might not be there vocally, but since when has technique ever mattered in pop music (hint: the answer is never)?
So... respectfully disagree good sir. I personally am excited to see her find herself and create her brand, technique be damned.
