Miley Cyrus performed a cover of "Gimme More" on MTV Unplugged: watch

[redacted statement]

This is amazing (bar the chorus - that part is a bit awkward). I love Miley's voice in general - those deeper tones, that rasp and that country twang... I love everything about it.

Gimmie More is so Iconic it’s not even funny. One of Britney’s best produced songs period! Miley did a great job spinning the song to fit her. That chorus is a tough one that only Danja could accomplish to sound fresh!

Queen of singing Britney’s song live more times than Britney.

it's ok until it reaches the chorus.

There's just no other way to make it sound good besides the original, and by good, I mean "good" 

Yeah its to repetitive and it needs production plus that Britney angelic touch. It only works well that way.

Merged your topic into the original one @MakeMeFweaky! Hope that's ok 🙏. Thank you for posting it!!

Yes! Same. I think she nailed it  It was super original. That song is hard to cover

[Invitation]

I also like it until the chorus part, but at least it's not a rock Womanizer cover.

Oh she D I D that!! I trust in Miley's vocals though so I'm not shocked.

This proves what I’ve thought for years: it’s impossible to sing the Gimme More chorus without sounding cheesy/funny/bad. I don’t know how Britney, Danja, and The Incredible Lago managed to make the actual chorus of the song sound cool, serious, and interesting, because it just sounds so comical when everyone sings it live

I think what makes the actual chorus so catchy are all the different voices and manners they used to say "more". When I was like 8, I found it so addicting to try and memorize and then mimic the pattern of the voices:

 

Britney (intonation goes down) > male voice > Britney (intonation goes up)

male voice > siri voice > male voice

Britney (up) > male voice > Britney (up)

male voice > siri voice > male voice

 

Obviously, I've known this pattern for over a decade now, but it's still just as catchy to mimic it 13 years later.  When someone sings it without doing the pattern, it loses all of its catchiness.

This proves how AMAZING and important the production of Gimme More is, despite traditional vocal talent.

There's nothing like it - The mix of dark, gritty sexiness - An iconic classic.

Period, luv. It's the only way I sing Gimme More. If you aren't doing all the different mores, are you really singing Gimme More ?

the way you spilled 

[PrinceAli89]

I think she did a great job. She took the song and made it her own. 

[Snowwhite]

Sounds great, really different from the original. But yeah the chorus, I waited her to skip some gimmes and sing longer notes, playing with her voice etc. Would have been better that way! 

[LaLohan]

kween served on a gold platter  give us more ms. Montana 

[warioaddams]

I like it 

[Marcanthony]

I like it. I din expect to like it but i like it.

[Soysaucechicken08]

[Barajas]

Wow. I don’t even think I’ve ever heard all of these.
