    • @StellaWaldvogel
      @StellaWaldvogel 4 года назад +4

      I agree that the vitriol directed at Miley is undeserved. But these days, as long as the public is talking about somebody, it doesn't matter if it's flattering or not. She knows that.
      There were a few years between Hanna Montana and the Miley we know now where she was trying different things, "throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks." (I remember seeing a somewhat cringeworthy "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on youtube, and some video with a lot of props and effects - I think she had wings or something.) But the big breakout was the tongue and twerking at that awards show. So she went with the crazy hypersexualized persona.
      It's the era we're in. Kind of a reality TV/sideshow mentality. Maybe if this was 1996 she could just do a Shania Twain-type thing, catchy songs and videos, and that would be enough. Not any more.
      Strange times we're living in. The latest incarnation of Keith Moon or even Hendrix is probably playing in a dingy club somewhere, not even getting noticed much other than by a small core fan base.

  • @loripond1839

    I have to say I have compassion for Miley. IMO her father capitalized on her talent and her ability to cultivate a career with her Disney TV show and music. And if you know anything about her history she railed against that and was angry with her father for forcing her to stay on the Disney TV show she wanted to get away from. Her Rebellion is quite natural if you consider that situation first. No one is saying she's Dolly, she's not! No one can ever be Dolly! She is Miley and she does Miley beautifully! I do agree with comments above that she has to play the game of the industry and that requires publicity stunts. To each his own, that being said there is no denying her talent! Fil you always educate me on so many different areas of the music, that myself as a lay person, in production would not know anything about....Thank you!

    Miley is still only in her 20's and has reinvented herself a few times already. She started out as Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel and was forced to stay on an extra yr due her father signing a contract on her behalf which estranged the 2 of them. She's done Pop music, what I call "Dare to bare" music and now she's finding herself coming back to her roots. She was a judge on "The Voice " here in the USA for 2 seasons and showed her brains as well as her talent. I didn't care for her antic's but she's growing into who she really wants to be now at 26. This video I believe she helped produce which I can see her doing more of in the future.

    There are some great versions of Dolly and Miley singing Jolene as a duet - there is also an interesting version of Miley with Jimmy Fallon doing a “subway busking” segment for the Tonight Show. She has some real talent - I first heard her when my daughter (who was 3 or 4 at the time) discovered the Hannah Montana show on the Disney Channel. Funnily enough, think one of the first episodes I watched was one where Dolly Parton made a guest appearance and they sang together - which is why I watched. Thought she was a cute kid with some talent and crazy good family connections in the industry who was mostly singing relatively generic songs geared towards the tween market. The post Disney publicity craziness, well, hey - unlike way too many “child stars” who have been in an intense spotlight during their pre-teen and adolescent years, she’s not spending time in prison for multiple felonies nor does she have a frequent customer discount for drug rehab. As far as acting out goes..yeah, know a few folks who have done way worse than gin up some questionable publicity while trying to navigate the transition from teenager to adult. Just thankful cellphones and constant access to recording devices weren’t available when my friends and I were making our own questionable choices. Just something to consider - can’t say she’s my favorite singer ever (she’s not) but the level of vitriol aimed at her in the comments is excessive.

    Great Analysis... She’s very good... Not my genre or taste but she is excellent... I’m concerned about her voice from some stuff I’ve heard that’s more recent...
    She was exploited very badly when she was young by adults who were supposed to be supervising her... Many people think they would come through the same blender she went through completely intact but just surviving that kind of thing is an achievement... Plus she’s still working and successful into young adulthood...
    I was watching a video of her when she was a teenager being harassed very badly by the paparazzi... Disgusting stuff... She endured it until they went in on her mother and Miley went off and defended her mother with great intensity, focus and control... I really respected her for standing up and defending her kinfolk in this way... These people are humans at the end of the day.

    Your analyses of Miley Cyrus shock value is spot on, and when you watched this video you do find her to be a true talent, she can sing. She tends to go up and down with shock performances then back to more conservative videos and songs. She is fighting to stay relevant in music, which when she grows up she will find one can do with talent alone, and again she has the talent.

    "Jolene" being one of my favourite songs, when I heard this the first time, I thought it may be too "clean" for an outdoor recording.

    As a sound Engineer, its amazing the difference from having a focused recording where the freq's are absorbed by the padding on the walls. In this video the freq's die out in the wind and trees, which personally for me, makes the sound seem more shallow than the profound deeper sounds in a studio. If it was recorded outside to give a more country appearance, she captured that essence.

    The first time I listened to this I thought she'd done a better job covering Lilac Wine (how crazy is that?).
    I love Miley's voice (it's her own music I can't stand), but I don't like any of her covers of Jolene.
    It's a polished, tamed version of the original.
    The lyrics are pretty humiliating, yet Miley doesn't sound like she's pleading.
    Dolly's version conveyed raw pain, fear and despair, also a sense of urgency and an impressive resolve.
    It's a weird mix of strength and helplessness, and both get lost in Miley's interpretation.

    Besides Miley Cyrus's country roots showing in this song, the background accompaniment is what makes it so exceptional. Taken as an entity, this version of Jolene stands by itself and should NOT be compared to the original as done by Dolly Parton. I'm keen on instrumentals and the accompanying players have produced an exceptional sound that fits perfectly with the way Miley delivers her vocals. This is probably the first time (and the last time) I've seen Miley Cyrus and not pictured her naked and riding a wrecking ball!
