A Badass Performance by Miley Cyrus of This Country Song Honors George Clooney

Miley Cyrus’s father is the legendary country music performer Billy Ray Cyrus, which probably explains why there are strong country influences in her songs. Miley Cyrus is a well-known pop musician because to hits like “Flowers” and “Wrecking Ball,” but her work is also known for its pop influences.

This may be the reason for Cyrus’s outstanding 2018 rendition of the country/bluegrass song “Man of Constant Sorrow” at the American Institute; the video has received over 8 million views since going viral.

Cyrus’ performance was part of a tribute program honoring actor George Clooney, who was given the AFI lifetime achievement award.

George Clooney’s movie “Oh Brother, when Art Thou?” contains a scene when the lead character sings a song that has become famous in the history of movies. Cyrus gave a new level of intensity and fire to the song with her deep, country-tinged vocals, which wonderfully captured the moment.

It was clear that everyone else was enjoying it as well since Clooney clapped passionately and grinned widely when the singer nodded to him and when Cyrus ended, the live audience screamed and whooped. Cyrus’s versatility as a performer has been lauded by many viewers, and the show has received close to 4000 comments on social media. A stunned onlooker exclaimed, “She really can do it all!” as they were mesmerized by her extraordinary gift, distinctive voice, and limitless imagination.

Just look at Cyrus’s 2019 Glastonbury performance of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”—a renowned country music song—to hear her live powering it up. As she walks around the stage, adding her own pop-infused touch to a song that is now regarded as a paragon of country music, Cyrus embodies feminine power in her leather trousers, white crop top, high-heeled boots, and heaps of gold jewelry.
