Cyrus’ version of “Jolene” gives us an opportunity to point out what we realized for the first time last night - if Stevie Nicks and Dolly Parton had a daughter, she would sound like Cyrus. 5 Shocking discoveries from Miley Cyrus’ new will.i.am video >Ĭyrus told the audience she wanted to give them a taste of Nashville, Tennessee, with a song from “Aunt Dolly” (Dolly Parton - Cyrus’ godmother). We don’t quite adore Cyrus yet, but we didn’t roll our eyes once or blurt out a single WTF during the mini-concert, and that is really saying something. This bikini top was the skimpiest thing she wore during the MTV special, and she kept the jacket on for the entire show. Has Cyrus finally “gotten it right?” 5 Ways to describe Miley Cyrus’ porno - er, video - “Adore You” >Ĭyrus left the nude underwear and camcorder from her “Adore You” video at home and sang a memorable rendition of her newest single (from her latest album Bangerz). And guess what her lack of suggestive theatrics did? It gave us an opportunity to focus on how good she sounded and how great she looked. Seriously? That’s it? Compared to what we’ve been conditioned to see from Cyrus, this display made us feel like we’d tuned into the Cartoon Network. The most provocative thing she did during this number was twerk against the horse. If ever there was an opportunity for Cyrus to gross us out during Wednesday night’s show, it was when she sang “Get It Right.” With lyrics like, “I been laying in this bed all night long, don’t you think it’s time to get it on, but we gotta get it right, we can’t get it wrong, don’t you want to feel this fire, before it’s gone?” Cyrus had a golden opportunity to shock us. Miley Cyrus skips the Grammys: What was she doing instead? > The song is catchy, her vocals were strong and she looked fantastic. Joined by her aptly-named backing band, The Social Distancers, Cyrus performed a set that included inspired covers (her rock remix of Britney Spears’s “Gimme More” turns the song on its head), a duet with little sister, Noah, and tracks from her upcoming studio album, She is Miley Cyrus.Miley Cyrus set the tone for her Unplugged performance on Wednesday night on MTV by opening it up with the not-so-subtle message, “I’m gonna do my thang.” Dressed in a blond wig and an adorable country western getup that (gasp) covered her from head to toe, Cyrus belted out the song while slapping a small person on the rear and flirting with two guys in a horse suit, but that was as “edgy” as it got. Cyrus could have grabbed a guitar and played to a webcam, but, showman that she is, she turned her garden into a stage instead. Staged at Cyrus’s Los Angeles home, the event draws inspiration from the “Unplugged at Home” web shows that have been happening since spring and Cyrus's own popular Backyard Sessions series, but takes things up a notch. Tonight’s MTV Unplugged Presents Miley Cyrus Backyard Sessions offers a modern update on the concept.

Fans have long been eager for an Unplugged reboot, and in a rare 2020 bright spot, MTV has provided one. The show may have concluded in 2009, but its legacy lives on in classic sets from Nirvana, Jay-Z, Eric Clapton, and many more. The stripped-down concerts featured the era's biggest artists playing acoustic versions of their hits. If you grew up in the ’90s or early ’00s, you likely remember MTV’s Unplugged specials.
