Flowers is amazing? I keep watching the video and thinking she's fabulous. I've never liked her before but this is wonderful!

I like the song and her but I think it’s a little pathetic that’s it’s aimed at her ex 😬

all those ‘fuck my ex’ songs make me cringeeeeeee

You think a song about an ex is pathetic?

Have you a list of appropriate lyrics because there are thousands of songs out there about exes Confused

Picklypickles · 04/02/2023 23:06

She has a nice voice but the song is so boring, not a fan.

Miley is one of the best female vocalists out there. Her live version of like a prayer puts Madonna to shame and I say that as a lifelong Madge fan.

I totally agree!

Love the song ended up down a rabbit hole of Miley Cyrus songs.

She is so unbelievably talented and so underrated.

Have a watch of her singing with metallica on the Howard Stern show. Wow.

Just watched it, amazing. A brilliant rock voice, reminds me a bit of Stevie Nicks but deeper.
I didn’t realise I realise I was a Miley fan till I read this thread. 🙈

AngeloMysterioso · 04/02/2023 23:07

YABU for making “To think Miley Cyrus“ your thread title and not “To think Miley Cyrus Flowers is amazing?”. Needlessly click bait-y.

SquashPenguin · 04/02/2023 23:08

Loved Miley since her Hannah Montana days. I’ve seen her live and she was amazing. Metal is my go to music genre but Miley has always been my exception! I recommend her cover of Jolene, it’s on you tube x

badgergirly · 04/02/2023 23:10

I really love her voice, always have.

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 04/02/2023 23:11

I feel like a lot of people discovered her as a 'proper' singer when they caught her Glastonbury set in 2019.

BlackFlyChardonnay · 04/02/2023 23:13

Love this song. Future classic, for sure.

nca89 · 04/02/2023 23:13

Her version of Nothing Else Matters is amazing, my Metallica loving husband has had it on repeat this last week since we discovered it!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 04/02/2023 23:20

I thought you were talking about the perfume ( in the advert with all floral images )

I used to watch HM because my DD liked it , but only to catch a look at Billy Rae

At least she's stopped poking her tongue out in every photo of her

hellosunshineagainxxx · 04/02/2023 23:26

Regardless pf anything else her voice is absolutely incredible. Her covers of like a prayer, zombie, heart of glads and also 'edge of midnight' which samples edge of 17. She has such a rock voice

flabbygoldfish · 04/02/2023 23:32

The sugarbabes did a really nice cover of it on bbc2 piano room recently. The band Inhaler’s cover is good as well.

whumpthereitis · 04/02/2023 23:32

Her cover of Hole’s Doll Parts on Howard Stern was phenomenal.

Evasmissingletter · 04/02/2023 23:33

She’s a great Rick singer. Done some good covers such as Metallica and Nirvana

Crumpetdisappointment · 04/02/2023 23:34

i love the song, love the lyrics,
i can love myself better!

Dontblinkatme · 04/02/2023 23:34

I loved her in black mirror.

I thought I was alone, I love this song, I love the video.i keep replaying.

Never really paid much attention to miley, but now after this self love song I am a huge fan.

I've seen interviews recently, off the back of this song, and she comes across as quite intelligent too. I think she is underestimated.

badgergirly · 04/02/2023 23:36

Has anyone heard Miley and Ariana's cover of Don't dream it's over by Crowded House?

It's fantastic and on YouTube.

Oblomov22 · 04/02/2023 22:56

Like the song. Can't stand her, she is so fucked in the head emotionally I dislike her.

I don’t get that at all. She has a very famous dad and started professionally herself early. Mostly she’s just done the normal stuff modern self confident women do
only in front of a world stage.
The drink, drugs, divorce have all been background to a solid working career. She’s not been offensive to anyone .

Check out Miley's Backyard Sessions on youtube.

I love her voice. I also think she's extremely savvy... she knows how to shock and also how to reel it back in. Think how Wrecking Ball was such a hit and her outrageous behaviour just sent sales soaring.

She has done some amazing songs and has real talent.

Yep, she does jolene barefoot, emotionally, it's a killer song. I'd never heard her do it before. That and with Metallica on some show, brilliant. I'm now this fortnight a huge fan and watching older stuff. Some I'm not keen on, others are new faves.

TheVolturi · 04/02/2023 23:43

Just seen it! I love it. She's amazing.

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 04/02/2023 23:44

Her voice is incredible. I think Slide Away is so beautiful. Her singing with Dolly is great to watch. I hadn’t seen her sing live until she was doing carpool karaoke with James Corden, she’s phenomenally talented.

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 04/02/2023 23:45

She's the one nepo baby that has far outstripped their famous parent's talent.
