Miley Cyrus Goes Viral For Covering Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" at the iHeart Radio Festival

At least she can sing, which a lot of these pop kweens can’t.

I actually don't mind her vocal style for this song. The screaming southern rocker thing weirdly works for Blondie songs.

by Anonymousreply 2September 25, 2020 1:25 PM

Her band sounds good, but I'll stick with DH's original vocal. Miley's is way too aggressive for the tone of the song. I like her outfit, though. She looks good.

I mean, she's no Debbie Harry, but there is a quality about both her singing and her performing that isn't terrible, especially compared to the likes of Ariana Grande and her ilk.

I think it would have been better if she'd altered the soundtrack away from disco, to suit the way frustrated and angsty way she delivers the vocals. Maybe another Blondie song would have been better for her to cover. This is Debbie's signature song.

by Anonymousreply 28September 25, 2020 2:32 PM

Blondie sound and Debbie everything achieved a very chic louche. And that's practically an oxymoron but there were groups in the 70s 80s who could do it. Mick Jagger in his calmer moods did it. I can see why Miley wanted to do it because she is always trying louche but she's always failing.

You're not very familiar with Blondie if you think they had one aesthetic. "One Way or Another" is worlds apart from "Heart of Glass," and that includes vocal delivery.

MIley's version is very punk although she should've swallowed some of the words since her pronounciation sounds weird. Still, it's a different take on a classic. At least she's not trying to be Debbie Harry.

And she does have a great voice. I only now found out Dolly Parton is her godmother.

She's the poster child of corporate entertainment all packaged up in free-spirited punk aggression toward the establishment. She'll never have to exist with the idea of losing anything because of the "rebellious" things she says or does. She performs "Heart Of Glass", and her cover of "Jolene" for that matter, with posed authority & understanding but has neither for either song. All show. She is the fabrication of planning, styling & accustomed indulgence.

I think the singing is kind of excellent, but this is karaoke. Kind of a disappointment that Miley did not get more creative with the source material and give it a sound more of her own. Covering is something that Blondie did well. Hanging On the Telephone, Denis, The Tide Is High are all covers and are Blondie classics in their own right.

I've just watched these videos posted here and I have to say, she is a great singer. She's really transformed herself from Disney-pop kid. Maybe I'm not a big fan of the hairdo but she's definitely her own person- way better than the Morticia Adams hair that every other Hollywood woman wears. I also think if she sang Heart of Glass less aggressively everyone would complain that she was trying to copy Debbie Harry. In the infamous words of American Idol, she made it her own.

Blondie also recorded a more stripped down almost Raggae version of the song (I think they called it Once I Had a Love) and it accentuates DH's voice beautifully. I have to agree with rest of the comments that Miley's is way too strained, too much all at once and I generally like Miley.

Blondie handpicked their covers spryly, they chose lesser-known but good songs, polished them up and made them sound bigger somehow. It didn't hurt that they weren't a covers band and wrote their own biggest hits.

It's Miley being her usual tryhard self. From her unnecessary caterwauling to her busted catsuit (Mugler at his tackiest) to her excess jewelry to her wig-like mullet, she's always been extra. I'm surprised she didn't stick out her tongue.

[quote]. . .but she's definitely her own person-

I disagree. If, like Madonna, you have to regularly sell a new persona (twerker, stoner, country girl, punk-lite, heavy metal screamer), you're hiding behind imagery, not being consistently yourself.

by Anonymousreply 60September 25, 2020 4:12 PM

Something I noticed from Maneater and Heart of Glass video (aside from the fact she is REALLY channeling Debbie in both), is that Miley puts most of the effort into the first 2 minutes and can't sustain the intensity. She's a good singer and she should learn to conserve more of her energy for the rest of the performance.

I love Miley, I love that she's paying tribute to one of the best bands and best songs of all time. I also love her outfit, hair and makeup!

All of those things are "Fuck yeahs" in my book.

But honestly, I hate the vocals and wish they had done something original with the arrangement.

Debbie Harry's vocals were so sweet, smooth and ethereal. Given how intricate the wordplay is, I don't think Miley should "Janis Joplin" the shit out of them. Some of those stretched notes are really grating and off-key.

And I always want to hear original sounds and styles in covers. I guess that's asking too much. Nothing feels better than those power rock chords, though.

But if you insist, I'll have you know that punk rock and Blondie CAME from Glam Rock.

The New York Dolls are considered the ultimate, proto-punk band that influenced all later punks. And Joan Jett originally modeled herself after glam rockers — it was the press that labeled her "punk" and pointed her to the bandwagon she should ride.

by Anonymousreply 71September 25, 2020 4:48 PM

And what does a "punk" song have to sound like in your tiny, little mind, r52?

Blondie's version sped up the tempo, changed the language and sang it with attitude. It's absolutely punk, because it was harkening back to roots rock instead of trying to overwhelm you like other 70s sounds.

I swear to God, if I read anymore TOTAL IGNORANCE and denigration of punk rock by prissy Dataloungers this year, I'm going to Rip Her to Shreds.

It didn't happen organically. Debbie had been on the scene a long time. She's even referred to the "Blondie character." She'd been in a Mamas & Papas rip off (Wind In the Willows) and a girl group (The Stilettos) before she and Chris Stein put Blondie together. Both were very savvy.

Blondie recently sold all the future royalty rights of their music to a hedge fund, so that will probably mean a lot more Blondie covers. The deal may have something to do with the complicated way Harry and Stein got ripped off by so many terrible business deals in their careers.

R97 Debbie signed with Geffen in 1985 (Cher's label) and then with Sire in 1987 (Madonna's label) in the US after her break from music. She stayed with Chrysalis internationally and the UK to distribute her, probably out of loyalty and because they had been good to her.

Deborah refused to work manically as Blondie had done, and her solo records did not fly together in the studio with ease, so only one solo record every 4 years as opposed to a new record every year with Blondie, she became an expensive artist for them to keep financing.

I think it’s a respectable and a respectful cover. The clip of Cyrus covering Dolly Patton’s Jolene is excellent (the keyboardist is distracting in his handsomeness).

Deborah Harry’s giant face was so beautiful and she was extremely engaging as a performer. She didn’t really know how to move on stage, and just sort of twitched, shuffled and hopped, but that is part of her appeal.

Miley pushes her voice so hard. She might need to go off to an island and stay silent for a month like Annie Lenox did, or have surgery like Adele. She’s talented, but I wonder how her voice will hold up over time. She must be a smoker, right?

A friend went into a record store in a supposedly cultured major city to inquire if they had any Early Music in stock, and the adorable clerk responded, uhhh do you mean Motown?

r123 On the BBC America show Killing Eve the character Villanelle played by Jodie Comer sings a bit of One Way Or Another in one of the episodes in season 2. Debbie Harry tweeted her appreciation and support right after it aired.

So far nothing from Debbie on Miley eh?

r121 being ancient and dusty means we are used to hearing real talent. It means our introduction to music included the icons these younger singers wish to emulate. We are used to originals not poor copies.

r53 it's a reggae song.

r1 that's not a live mike to my ears.

R131 Debbie’s simply jealous

Deborah Harry is used to young artists copying and covering her band. I’m sure she appreciates their reverence.

Miley has such a really annoying voice, a kind of prison warden's voice.

Miley unfortunately has a rather mundane voice that she desperate to somehow make interesting

R146 I think her voice sounds good here, especially the talking parts.

This hooker was also performing with autotune plus a supporting lead vocal. Talent, my ass. And put your mosquito bites away, we've seen them too many times already.

R149 - is there another lead vocal blended into Miley in Heart of Glass? Is there a moment in the song I can hear it?
