Miley Cyrus covers 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'Miley Cyrus isn't done digging through the crates quite yet. Following her duet with Bret Michaels for her “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” cover, the former "Hannah Montana" star has tackled Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Cyrus, 18, performed the track during a concert in Ecuador last Friday. “I have a lot of fans come up and tell me that I inspire them and make them want to follow their dreams, and so for this tour I want to be able to do the music that inspired me and made me want to be here on this stage tonight,” she told the hyped audience. “It’s hard being on the road because you miss your family back home,” she continued, “and this song is something I always sing with my little brother…so this song is also for him.” And with that, the opening chords to the iconic track began and Cyrus launched into her rendition. Check the performance in the video below if you dare.

I was never a big fan of Nirvana’s, but this is a really bad cover.
http://www.quickmeme.com/make/caption/#id=224470248&name=Musically Oblivious 8th Grader
Hilarious meme about this! Miley should be seen and not heard
what's this girl's talent, again??????????
kurt should have saved that shotgun shell for her.
im so disappointed. im a miley fan, but after this.. this was horrible! sorry miley
Wow. Not bad at all. Way better then the guy on American Idol that sang this. Her low husky voice works well with this song
She clearly doesn't realize that we have the internet in the united state(except what ever trailer park billy ray raised her in). God awful. I hope kurt haunts her for the rest for her god forsaken life
That girl is on drugs and Kurt probably killed himself AGAIN!
Alright Taylor Momsen or someone who actually knows a thing or two about ROCK needs to do the song and show this amateur how its done. Seriously SOOOOO Bad!
oh that was painful to watch. i could sing smells like teen spirit better than this. and i sound like a bad robert plant. miley, stick to the pop music grunge is not for you.
I smell something.....but it's not team spirit!
Miley sucks!!!
I'd like to know who told this girl she could sing?!
This is why he despised this song.
please stick with your own crap music and leave the classics alone. I wonder how much they pay the band to act interested.
That was SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!
She sounds like anyone sounds who's trying to sing a song too low for their voice. Why didn't she transpose it up half an octave or something?
Why..........WHYYYYYYY
As if that song wasn't bad enough already.........
One of the most Iconic songs of my generation destroyed by one of the greatest stars of the current one (judgement on quality notwithstanding), Kurt is taking turns laughing and crying in his grave.
Thanks for liking Nirvana but really Miley you should change to the song to "Stinks Like Teen Spririt". Please don't sing this song if you ever come to Seattle.
Well that song sucked already, nothing but emos making annoying noise.
God, how awful ...
nuke it from orbit
Well made it through the first 10 seconds of singing. I hope she is managing her money well!
Nirvana isn't even that good of a band I don't understand why everyone is freaking out.
Kurt Cobain is rolling over in his grave over this one...
what a freakin' travesty
I think music died a little....
That was as bad as Celine covering ACDC, just stop now and go away!
Smells like teen gym locker.
it is a sad day when someone like miley could do something so stupid first we never marter a musican whom kill,s him or herself 25 years we just dont do it . and never ever promote songs of a guttless cowered .
Wow. Just when I thought I could dislike Miely, now my dislike has turned to flat-out disgust. Some songs are not meant to be redone/rewritten/remade – there are many examples of this rule throughout music history. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a flat-out classic tune from a great album marking the introduction of good ol' Seattle grunge. I haven't listened to Miley's cover, and I really don't care to. Just shows what levels some folks will sink to, in order to better their so-called careers. Good luck with all that.
Abysmal.
I don't know....the band was pretty ok.
I hate it I hate it I hate it. Hannah Montana is the only fame this girl is ever gonna see- The Last Song great book horrible acting, the songs are becoming trashy and whatver I am a rebel I can sing and do what I want. Please the song from Hannah Montana " The Climb" way better than anything else she is trying to sing. Please please please take a dang reality check pill, look around and see all the other girls who have gone down the road of trash are getting no where- maybe try following Selena Gomez instead....
That sounded awful.
She hits the bong one time and now she thinks she can do a nirvana cover
#whatistheworldcomingto
This should be illegal like when Vanilla ice got in trouble so should Miley Cyrus. Singing another persons song and putting it off as your own is lame.
I am sorry, but I think she is OK! This is a erfect song for her voice. This may not be the best live version, but in the studio she can really lay it down.
I did poopy in my pants.
What's that noise....it's Kurt Cobain rolling in his grave.
good lord, that's pathetic. Kurt is rolling over in his grave right now and for good reason.
Miley...Miley..Miley,...some things..YA JUST GOTTA LEAVE ALONE!
Aghhhh. Call in SEAL Team 6.
Mario blurted out without thinking: "All you haters are just mad because you can't make millions of dollars doing something you love to do!!"
No, Mario, we hate the fact that people with little talent, like Mylie, are making millions from gullible and culture less fools, like you.
Not that it makes a difference, but her name is Miley, not Mylie.
Like I said, not a big deal.
Longer Hair, Shorter Pants and Lower Waistline...never was a Nirvana, fan still not.
Miley does what she does.
She's not a minor anymore so people can't ragg her about that now so they look for other things.
Just Remember Boys & Girls...She Doesn't Care One Bit What Is Said About Her, 'Cause She Is Laughing All The Way To The Bank $$$ and then Laughs More As She Spends It
Yes, Sam, you are probably correct. It is yet another sign that the world will soon be over.
I'd be willing to bet if Kurt were living he'd be flattered she's even interested in covering his old rocking-chair classic. So many people out there are quick to dog on Miley because they're jealous of her, simple as that. What had the Beatles done at age 18? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. They were in their 20's before they made the cover of teenbeat and onto little girls' lunch boxes, which gave them the foundation to later go on and become all artsy, independent and "non-commercial". Cut the girl a little slack – what were YOU doing at 18?
I finally understand the line "I feel stupid and contageous"
Kurt Cobain, in his grave, is wishing he'd bought a three-barreled shotgun. Miley Cyrus is an abomination.
I wonder if her tramp stamp will pay homage to Nirvana.
I'm not a miley hater , BUT THIS GIRL CANNOT SING, dance or even head bang. Her daddy should quit lying to her , saying she has talent. Hell IMO her daddy never had any talent either. Hope I did'nt Break Achy Breaky Hearts. LMAO
Rock and Roll has definitely taken over country music. I'm tired of seeing all these ex-rock and roll studio guitarists suddenly on stage with some country band, toting these large belt buckles and cowboy hats. Go where the money is, I guess.
Sounds like a cat caught in a lawnmower.
OMG YES KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! OMG !!! WTH!!! she is awful... and to take an iconic song like that from my teens from one of my all time favorite singers and bands.... and to just pop a squat on it... oh the huge manatee!!!
She sings this to her little brother?? really?? I remember watching Nirvana on their first appearance on Saturday Night Live and thinking just how ground breaking it was. It definately didn't sound like something you would sing to your little brother or sister unless you wanted to freak them out. Kurt, please accept our apologies.
Someone sue her for public indecency (her voice) please
I couldn't watch anymore after 13 seconds.
smells like ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER to me!!!
Really not a good idea to even attempt to put your teeny bopper spin on one of Nirvana's most popular songs. I think my old Nirvana shirts and hole covered jeans have lit themselves on fire in protest.
No, no, no, no, and no.
Oh yeah. Indeed it smells. Not like teen spirit. It smells like poop.
Too bad Kurt didn't save the shotgun shell for this lady
F*#k that, she needs to stop! If anyone like the murdering of a classic song then you SUCK as bad as her!!!!
Wayne Newton and Barry Manilow are the only two people who could've sung this worse than Miley Cyrus did. That's four minutes of my life I'll NEVER GET BACK.
Please make it stop!
great job on the song miley! no one (alive) does it better!
I wanted to like it, I really did. But she really does NOT capture the spirit of the song with her vocals - she is better suited to country or pablum pop. Sorry, I really don't want to be hating on a kid young enough to be my daughter but there it is. Not a fitting tribute to Kurt Cobain. Perhaps she should try covering the Monkees?
I'm SHOCKED that Courtney Love has let this happen! That woman takes away writes from Kurt's own band, and MILEY does a cover...going to pass out now. This is ridiculous...and offensive.
"Smells like teen spirit?"
More like, "Smells like teen puke."
That was gawdawful!
Where are you Courtney Love?! Destroy her!
Well, let's face it; Nirvana was bloody horrible to begin with. They were aweful in the studio and even worse live. Add Miley to the equation and you have one incrediblly untalented act. I would much rather see her cover an already bad song rather than butchering Van Halen.
keep kids away from drugs and Miley Cyrus
It was cool. Don't know why so many people have such a problem with it.
911 - help me!
Kurt Cobain just rolled over in his grave, shot a hot dose of heroin, and died again...
Kurt Cobain was just as talentless as Miley is. The only reason Nirvana go air time was by being in the right place at the right time. Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple Pilots were all ten times the band that Nirvana was. The best thing to happen because of Nirvana was Dave Grohl being able to get enough money and recognition to form the Foo Fighters. Now THEY have talent.
I was actually glad to hear Rebecca Black following this...
Thanks goodness Kurt Cobain killed himself, cause if he didn't after seeing this video, he would have done it anyway. I mean, stop to the cat from choking...please?! This just shows how untalented this girl is! Wow....just WOW is all I got to say!
Oh, the horror!
That could be the worst cover I've ever seen. Seriosuly.
BAD, BAD, BAD, REALLY BAD!!!!! Curt would kill himself over that if he hadn't already!!!
Not bad Miley. I was expecting a train wreck....instead I was pleasantly suprised. I am not a Miley Cyrus fan at all (I clicked on the link because I really like the song "Smells like Teen Spirit" and was curioius). I don't know any of her songs, but as a vocalist, I can tell you thatll the "Kurt is turning over in his grave comments" are not based on the musicality of Miley's cover, but rather on emotion and personal preference....Though the thought of Miley Cyrus doing a cover of this song might give some the heeby-geebies, it really wan't that bad.
As a musician myself that has recorded 6 album around the country, I am basing all my judgment on Miley on a purely musical aspect, and she SUCKED! It amazes me the inability of people to distinguish what GOOD music is. No wonder so much crap makes it out on the radio. As far as 'musicality of her cover', the musicians did great, her voice was HORRIBLE!!
Wow. That was really bad. Really, really bad.
Last summer, I saw a 13 or 14-year-old girl carrying around a tote bag with Kurt's Rolling Stone cover copied onto it...with sparkles. That about made me cry. This makes me angry.
I cried when I read your post because you are such an arrogant moron... Maybe you need to go see ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER to bring you down to size
I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for $117.37 and my girlfriend snagged an awesome $1299 MacBook Air for only $111.93, its being delivered tomorrow. I would be a fool to keep paying high retail prices at places like Walmart or BestBuy, when I even sold a 37" HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for. I use two sites, both are good, SwipeBay.com
and SnagBids.com
How much do they pay you to post this stuff?
What are you going to do when the boss finds out it doesn't work?
I hear you can work from home doing medical transcription.
Disgrace, thats all i can say. Kurt "really" would have killed himself were he alive today!
I bet Dave Grohl could do "Best of Both Worlds" and make it not suck.
That was just terrible. Kurt Cobain would be sick to his stomach if he was alive.
Can the FCC fine for that?
With the sound off it's less dangerous.
I thought she was having a seizure. Then the horrible music started.
I feel that a little piece of me died after watching that...
That was absolutely dreadful.
I am on my lunch hour and just about tossed my lunch listening and watching this pop star tear apart a rock anthem. I am pretty sure Kurt would have hated this version. You have to love those dance moves she does or whatever she calls it?
Didn't Kurt Cobain suffer enough?
First American Idol Now Miley Cyrus If he was still alive he'd kill himself.
Her fat head and face in that picture make her look kinda like a Jack-O-Lantern. Happy Halloween!!!
she sucks but at least she didn't quit on life like looser Curt did.
Apparently you quit reading comprehension since his name is spelled Kurt.
Oh, how PRECIOUS! ...But my inner Kurt is just sitting in the corner, rocking back and forth and sobbing.
Cobain hated this song, and probably would've found this hilarious.
This just breaks my achy breaky heart.....
gross
Who doesn't want to smell her teen spirit?
I would disown my daughter if she did this. And she's only 11.
She dances like Elaine from Seinfeld. Also, this dreadful video was so bad, it actually caused the Flash plugin in my browser to crash...no lie! What an awful piece of ****. Muffy Cyrus blows!
Isn't there some sort of legal injunction we can impose to put a stop to this?
i threw up in my mouth when i read this headline
And this is news WHY?? Most bands or artists do covers of other artists songs, so I hardly find this to be reportable news. If you are gonna go report on her doing a cover of this song, then you might as well do stories on every other artist/band when they do a cover of another artists song
That was just terrible! Maybe it inspired her and she she sings it with her brother but keep it there, come up with something original. Why cant all of these little pops like Selena Gomez come up with their own music...
Just terrible!
Wow....and I thought no one could top Sheryl Crows cover of Sweet Child O Mine.
Congrats Miley....you continue to show just how talentless you are. Stick with pre-fabricated songs made by Disney for girls under 12.
BTW.....was she having a seizure on stage or is she that bad of a dancer?
I heard it, it's not the best song ever remade. Probably a publicity stunt and it worked. Look at all the attention she is getting
This upsets me beyond measure. I grew up with Nirvana when Kurt Cobain was still alive and... well, perhaps not "well" but alive and kickin'. Nirvana were not the musical gods that the media seems to want to mark them as but they were important, intelligent and unique. -This- is none of those things.
I don't mean to be MEAN but that was absolutely hideous! Her horrible dancing reminded me of Elaine Bennis from Seinfeld. Wow – that was bad. And her singing? SHE CAN'T SING! Why in the world is she so popular??? GAG!
She should be barred from remaking or making anything including children. She is the annoying loud, obnoxious girl that few ever want to hear. Just go away.
This is SACRILAGE!!!! a crime to 90's MUSIC .....
Clearly, Kurt traveled to the future in a time machine, saw this performance, and killed himself immediately upon his return.
Taking a large knife and stabbing myself in the ears now....
In other news, scientists have just discovered a new source of renewable energy. Electricity can now be generated by Kurt Cobain spinning in his grave.
My problem with this is not so much the performance, but the principle. I just really hate seeing material born in defiance being consumed and regurgitated by the mainstream. What's next, Bieber covering Rage Against the Machine on Sesame Street?
That would be the same principal Cobain & Nirvana followed when they sold out to the record company and went commercial, right?
This was not bad at all. She did a good job. Even in the original the hardest part about the song was the music, not the singing. Purists need to relax and stop hating all the time.
And to those who say kids today dont know who Nirvana is.... that's like saying kids in the 90's never had a phase where they were interested in 70's music.Plus with games like Guitar Hero, you never know what the kids are enjoying music wise.... so people stop hating for the sake of hating
I'm not hating for the sake of hating.... but I did hate that performance because it was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!
in mouth
Can she not come up with her own material? She is not talented at all.
Shouldn't she be covering her dddy's "hit" achy breaky heart? She can't ruin that one anymore than it already was.
Smells like rotten ass...
I am sure she can identify with the lyrics '...I'm worst at what i do best... '
That was so bad I think it just gave me cancer!
Miley, I never hated you...just couldn't care less. Now, I hate you. You are so far beneath Nirvana. Get over yourself, and NEVER fo that again. Poor Kurt Cobain.
And I thought it was bad when Paul Anka did it...
Since she likes imitating Kurt Cobain so much, I have a .12 gauge Remington she can borrow.
She did it better than any of you as*clowns could ever do.
Wow, that wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. Not as bad as the Tori Amos version. Sounds like a really bad Hole cover, frankly. But she really can't sing or dance, so what's left?
I just threw up in my mouth a little
Lets hope that this is a transformation. Shes trying to be more like Cobain. Hopefully this means she is just that much closer to blowing her brains out. On a side note Miley, if you happen to stop in a walmart to check on your ugly cheap cloths line, they are selling shotguns again. (hint hint)
Why did I sit through this whole thing?
She also smells like Salvia and fear.
It's probably the only real fun her band has during the whole show.
I feel bad for the backup band because those guys are never living this down with their friends. Oh well, it's a paying gig.
How much would you bet that this moment was the lowest of that backing bands life? I wouldn't be surprised if the #1 deadliest job in America is being Miley Cirus's guitarist – On that note, what an ironic twist that these musicians will be killing themselves after playing a song written by a man who killed himself
looks like she was dancing like Elaine on Sienfeld......horrible rendition of the song as well
I want to pull her pretty little panties off and bang her while calling out her daddies name
Nuke it from orbit. It is the only way to be sure.
Are we sure this girl isnt one of the Judd sisters?
She sounded like she was singin to the actual song in the car? No originality at all! She needs to come down of her high horse and back down to reality. That was bad.
Aren't those the same tights and heels that Kurt wore in the original video? I wonder if she had monitors, or was just singing flat as hell, and lifeless to make a point.
The key thing here is that her fans loved it and that is all that really matters to her anyway. It takes a lot of guts to get on stage and put yourself out there in the first place. She is very talented just maybe not at grunge music, but it still took a lot of guts to do it.
Hmmm....Actually, that smells like a vicious yeast infection...
Wow. I am really glad I am not a cow. Because if I were, my third stomach would have just thrown up into my second stomach.
This is sad!! Kurt Cobain is probably turning in his grave! If he were alive, he would never let Hannah Montana cover his song...never!! And she knows it too!! She should be ashamed of herself.
Even sticking two tampons in my ears couldn't stop the bleeding...
one over-rated hack covering a song by another over-rated hack. the music industry being the music industry. nothing to see here, folks.
What a disgrace....Kurt Cobain left more talent and musical ability in the toilet than this sl#@ could ever dream of
Someone send in Team 6 to take care of this....
911 call: (panic) "Yeah, you guys better send paramedics FAST! Some chick is having seizures on the stage! Doesn't look good!"
Lots of comments ~ leaves me dazed!
.
Who is Miley cyrus?
Ican not believe she did that to cobain memory!!!
o
Here we go another michael bolton wanna be. Her day can not sing and she has followed suite. I apologize to the memory of Kurt Cobain who wishes now that he hadn't killed himself to keep a no talent from butchering his song.
I guess she will now do a duet with pat boone. Gessh!!!!!!
If anyone needs me, I'll be spinning in my grave...
NOT NEWS
BORING
smells like fish.
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.............
Jesus Wept...
@beenz I don't care what anybody says that thar is funny!!!!
Kurt just reloaded his shotgun.
Wow. This rates up there in my top three worst covers ever. The other two are Insane Clown Posse covering "Amazing Grace" and Alan Jackson doing a twangy rendition of The Rolling Stones "Paint It Black".
Lord have mercy
Is she gunning for a stage show on Vegas? Wow – that was terrible.
Miley has a HOT PU SS Y!
A few observations....
1. Nobody was forced to watch the clip.
2. I didn't hear anybody in the audience booing her.
3. Give the gal some credit. She's covering a tough song, and is openly paying homage to the music "that inspired her". So many modern day rockers don't respect the bands and music that helped them get where they are, and refrain from even attempting cover songs.
4. Do I think another band or singer could have done a better job? Sure. SFW... Miley could outsing me any day, and likely many others here.
And I'm not even a Miley fan...
Lighten up everybody.... Cheers. Now, let's find someone to write a good rocker about ... the Navy SEALS
Kind of Objective dude:
A few observations as per your post:
1: It was in Equador. She tried that here I bet there would be boos.
2: Outside her genre. She's pop fluff, Nirvana was groundgreaking.
3: People can post what they want.
4: She looked idiotic, convulsing like she's having a seizure. MEDIC!!!!
Please don't have Miley do a song about our brave Navy SEALS!
Great! Just great. Now I'll never be able to listen to that song again without hearing her voice doing backups out of key. Glad I didn't stick around for the whole thing.
What was that thing she was doing during the intro? Somebody put a belt in her mouth, STAT! LOL!
Lots of short memory spans around here. Does no one remember when freakin' Pat Boone and Paul Anka covered this song?? Suddenly people are worried about artistic credibility? Yeah, right. Whatever rebel cred this song had 20 years ago is, for the moment, gone; I say let Miley Cyrus and every other mediocre artist out there milk it for all it's worth, if there's anything left. It'll become a nice "F.U.-mom-and-dad" anthem again in another 10 or 15 years, believe me.
Tori Amos covered this solo at the piano many times! So much better than this version. Kurt and T were friends.
She has a face meant for radio and a voice meant for a monestary.
Well I certainly didn't think it was her father's that inspired her to be a recording artist...
Those poor kids in the audience were so traumatized they were screaming to try and block out the sound. At least we could press 'stop'. They had to endure the whole thing. Thanks CNN for making our ears bleed. If you think that was bad, you just wait – next she'll do Stairway To Heaven....
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Yech! Raw grunge angst is NOT the way to go for Ms. Cyrus. Choosing the right material takes some maturity and a streak of inspired craziness. Miley ought to try something like THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP5ggZRsNh8
I think I just threw-up in my mouth....yes , yes I did.
Kurt Cobain was a SH!Tbag loser.
Prefer David Garrett's violin version.
My daddy was a coward and a butthole. He now rests in Hell with Princess Di, Elizabeth Taylor and The Kennedys. Screw you Daddy!
Well, at least her backup band did a serviceable job with the instrumentation, unlike Avril Lavigne's band, with pretty much any cover she attempted. See: their cover of Metallica's Fuel, or System of a Down's Chop Suey!
I'm not a fan of Nirvana but even I know that this is the most horrible rendition I had ever heard.
Ok no she should stick to the songs she already sings....she sounded horrible and the accent made it worst
Oh, please God no.
Kurt Cobain rolled over in grave
Her fans are too young to even know who Nirvana is... makes me sick to see her sing this.
Disgusting..what a travesty. Plus why does she have a smokers voice??
If Kurt Cobain was alive he would kill himself again after this....
I enjoyed william shatners rendition of rocket man more than that stink pile
That was so terrible I think she gave me cancer!
I wish Albert Fish or Ted Bundy were still around, they could take Miley out for a midnight stroll, or better yet, just take her out...
Either way "I'd love to sniff on them panties."
You shouldn't debate with yourself son. But since you do, you should take the winning side just so you can say you won.
That sucked ........ stop ruining good music Miley.....stick with teeny bop.
Wrong. Just oh so wrong on so many levels. I'm unable to express both my feelings and the fact that this is sacriligious. God help us.
most of her fans dont even know who nirvana is...they weren't born yet!
She purposely sang this song to annoy all the nirvana spazzes, just to get a laugh out of your childish comments. "curt is turning in his grave!!".. No he's not!! Reality check, nirvana fans are old, grow up!! You all r like around 30 ... get back to work, your b-bopping Hannah Montana loving children needs to get the newest Justin beiber cd!!
i just turned 18 and i love this song. its just sad taht couldn.t have saved that shell for miley cyrus. im glad her dad disowned her im embarrassed for him.
I thought it was ok.
Miley sang her heart out like whitney houston.you go girl!
This was horrible. I couldn't force myself to suffer through it. Her voice is too nasally for this genre. Back to Disney. Please!!
This was absolutely horrible, just as i expected.
Not as bad as I thought. It sounded like Courtney Love doing the song......
Nirvana was as mainstream as she is, please folks.
LOL she looks epileptic on that song.
Doesn't anyone remember Tori Amos covering this song about 10 years ago?? It was at a much slower tempo and on the piano no less. But it was interesting. Leave this poor girl alone!
oh please.. it was crappy when Amos sang it too.. she killed it.. both of them!!
She's trying to hard and needs to stick to the bubble gum stuff she did. G
Makes me want to kill myself.
well, its time for all of us who ever believed in anything, ever, to retire and/or kill ourselves. Later, world!!!
Between the two, I would rather listen to Rebecca Black's Friday than this. Between the three, I would kill myself before listening to either one of these.
That was the worst thing that happened to Nirvana since Courtney Love. Please someone take her and justin bieber and just burn them alive for the murder of music. I wouldn't be surprised to read headline "Kurt Cobain returns from the grave only to beat Miley Cyrus to death with a microphone"
You know I honestly think if she really tried she could actually do it justice. This wasn't terrible but not something that stuck with me. I can honestly say she does have an ability. I do believe she could do this song right if she really tried and not do it off the cuff as it seems she did. She did seem to want to sing it but with practice I think she could do something legendary.
She has no talent She use auto tune on her cd. Thats why She sounds nothing like her cds live. Kurt cobain would never let a no talent Disney hore song his timeless music.
Río kurt cobain sorry u saw that.
First let me say kurt cobain would never approve the use of his Timeless song to be sung by some one who always sounds terrible Live, wonder why that is,why would some who sound one way on a cd and not the same live. yea you guessed It auto tune. She needs to come clan. she has no musical talent
I love ALLCAPS. It shows my dominant side cuz I am a butch lezbo and I iz lookin for a lipsitck dyko to party down with! I wanna do some butt slammin!!
Cobain just violently spun in his grave, in a desperate attempt to shut her up! ><
Leave her alone she's a young Adult she will learn And mature.
I hope she shaves her head and goes nuts like Britney. That would be priceless.
I loved it. In her version I can understand the words. She sings great and is beautiful. At least she meets fans on occasion. Most of todays stars wouldn't bother to do that. Miley Cyrus is a Great Talent.
Whatever you say poop dick!
ugh HOW DARE YOU!!! she killed th
Just another example of a child riding the coattails of a famous parent. If Mileys dad wasnt famous I doubt she would be either.
Kurt Cobain is rolling in his grave.... Sing your own Disney music kid, leave other people's songs alone. Especially if you butcher it.
MILEY NDS TO STICK HER DISNEY SONGS. COUNTRY WHATEVER. HAVENT HEARD IT AND DONT CARE TO. THINK SHE SMOKED TOO MUCH REEFER...
I iz lookin to hook up with a jig-aboo so I can take his big ol meat stick right into my poop chute! Dat is da bomb when I can pump dis chump in da rump with my little stump!!
i think miley is just too mentally retarded to know any better.
really, people? why is this the anthem of a generation? the music is great, but the lyrics are meaningless babble. it was a cool song in its day, but it is not sacred. miley is not the best singer in the world, but her fans loved it, so why not?
She sings the lyric, "I forget just why I taste…" which is a reference to shooting heroin in the muscle instead of the veins. Strange. She is saying a bunch of words she doesn't even understand. This might as well be in Spanish for all she knows.
Kurt Cobain sucked and Miley sucks... Just sayin.
I couldn't watch more than about thirty seconds of the video. Not because of Miley, but because of the incredibly horrid quality. What is the deal with people not being able to hold the damn camera still in these videos? Ever heard of auto-focus? The majority of these kinds of videos on Youtube are of the same quality. As for Miley, I'm not her biggest fan, but she has done some decent work. If you're into the whole semi-pop, psuedo-rock, glam-shock genre of music. And I'm not. I'm just sayin'.
OMG....SERIOUSLY??? WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING? HOW COULD YOU JUST COMPLETELY TRASH A CLASSIC SONG LIKE THAT? KURT COBAIN IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE RIGHT NOW YOU HACK! WHY DONT YOU GO HOP ON A POLE SOMEWHERE..YOU KNOW YOU WILL END UP THERE EVENTUALLY ANYWAY...AND LEAVE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY TO THE REAL ARTISTS!
WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I'm only listening on my phone, so maybe I missed something, but she really seems to drop into that song pretty darn well. Seems likes she's actually getting out of the teenie bopper voice for a bit, and I think that's an improvement. She didn't sound completely out of key either.
I know, i'm going to catch hell for being so damn supportive! I could care less if I never again hear "ho down show down," or whatever its called.
I love the Whitesnake song Slide it In. It reminds me of the fruity games I play with my gay buddies and Mr Sockpuppet: Hide da salami in Tommy!
Schlobbin da knob with Rob!
Wackin da pud with Judd!
Hittin da chute with Lute!
Strokin da pole with Cole!
And last but not least:
Pumpin that fairy, Jerry!
We got a massive train rollin here for all you gayboyz!!
wow really? that's the best you can come up with? I'm not even a MAN, you loser. Try again.
why ? why? why?
little pop tarts should stick to what they do best and not try to actually sing or play real music.
i'll never get that 5 seconds of my life back.
If she bends over, she can cover any songs she wants.
Wow a bunch of you are immmature.... leave the girl alone... Jesus wouldn't appreciate your down talking.... either would God... I pray you all change and learn to love one another like Christ loved the church.... in jesus name
amen
I can never listen to this song ever again. this USED TO be my favorite now ill find something she wont butcher.
we need a navy seal team to take her out...
Do you...do you hear that noise? Oh its Kurt Cobain rolling in his grave.
I be a ho-mo and I be a fruit. Every time I get reamed it makes me toot! I bend over for my buddy and I cannot lie. I went for da dudes and gave up the pie! Now I just wanna take a monster schlonger right in my pooper!!
A child scribbles her version of the Mona Lisa. Cute, little Miley. Give yerself a hand, yay!
~gag~
Horrible.
punishable by death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish the Navy SEALs would take HER a$$ out and bury her @ sea right next to Osama. How DARE she.
Ok, that's enough Internet for you, now get back to your chores!!!!
I don't see how kids my age and yougner can look up to her..
VOCAL TERRORISM, STOP THIS HORRIBLE BEAST PLEASE
Nirvana has been my favorite band for over 20 years now – and while I'll admit that Kurt Cobain is throwing up in his grave right now, I actually didn't hate it. Video quality is poor but you can hear it well. She did her best and I think there were good intentions.
I think Kurt would use a bigger gun if he heard this.
I wish Billy Ray Cyrus was gone and Kurt was still here. Miley could cover Achy Breaky Heart instead of slaughtering an anthem of our youth. This girl is completely forgetable on so many levels. I'm amazed that she has lasted this long. I had a dream that Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber all performed in Ciudad-Juarez without security.
I'll grab the Delorean and Doc!!
I really dislike a majority of the music being made today. In Miley's defense she's a hot little piece! I'd love to stuff my hog in her anus.
here we go again with all the "grown ups" spewing out venom and hatred on an 18 yr old former Disney star...whom you shouldn't even CARE ABOUT IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU are NOT her target audience. I am just surprised she knows and loves the song. Who wouldn't love to get up and sing their favorite song like a rockstar if they had the chance? Does it matter if she did it well or not? NO because she performed it in front of an audience of her own fans, not Nirvana fans. Stop your whining and go work in your gardens or something, you bunch of losers.
A little bit of venom to go with that?... loser?....
Ha! This one's a funny comment. Everyone, stop throwing a tantrum like the big babies you are!!
hey, I'm just sick of seeing so-called adults attacking kids (yeah she's 18 but people have been attacking her since she was pre-pubescent)...and yeah I have a bit of venom about it–I would like to kick the a$$ of all these pathetic people that think it's a big freaking joke to be cruel to young people
I found Nirvana at Three Tribes Walmart in Reno for $7 I got the last one. Its got a red cover and and the drummer couldnt be better.
Yep – That is one fine drummer.
Why kill Bin Laden? Just make him listen to this over and over.
Smells like Bong Smoke...
Down with Cyrus. She should just keep to smoking the bong and slowly killing herself.
If I ever have to hear this again, it will be too soon.....I am not a huge fan of others re-doing covers in general, but this is not even a positive tribute to Kurt Cobain. Sad.
Give me a fat f#&king break, to those that think Mr Kobain was god, get a f'ing life, he sucked, don't like Cyrus myself but she didn't sound any worse than him, he knew he sucked and did us all a favor and ceased to go on. LONG LIVE REAL ROCK AND ROLL.
So lame !!!!! She couldn't have song this first in run thru's and thought she nailed it. LMAO
Well, if he hadn't killed himself in '94 he woulda killed himself after hearing this......
Wish he would have, done us all a favor.
Oh my. Why oh why?
People like Miley Cyrus are why Kurt killed himself in the first place.
Thats enough to make me wanna puke. She needs to stop pretending shes talented
I am here with Billie Joe Armstrong and Billy Ray Cyrus!!So exciting!!I am going to do them on the bed!!
Now she should do Radiohead's Creep....
I think this was an awful rendition of the song. I don't quite understand the attacks on her appearance, she's very pretty in my opinion and she may do well with some different rock songs. But...yeah that was bad. Leave Nirvana alone. Unless she's out doing karaoke and I would definitely take her out for some karaoke.
Terrible.
oh yah, well good for her, I didn't like kirt cobain anyway, the only song he did that was really cool in my opinion was hairspray queen,
IS NOTHING SACRED!!!!! DAMN IT!! BLASPHMER!!SHE SINGS WITH FORKED TONGUE OF SATAN!!
highly disturbing
She is doing Enter Sandman next in Mexico City, which will be followed promptly by Big Pimpin.
Damn, time to kill myself...
I understand why she wanted to cover it live, but she shouldn't have. As the great Joan Cusak once thoughtfully stated: 'Sometimes I dance around my living room in my underwear. That doesn't make me Madonna and it never will'. Someone in the Cobain 'camp' had to have given thumbs up to this which is really the most disturbing thing about it.
I can't believe I actually watched this... she somehow managed to butcher SLTS....
How dare she???!!!! She can't sing as it is, and she has ruined music, and now she is tainting Nirvana?
Somewhere Kurt Cobain is rolling over in his grave!
Well...it's better than the cover Flyleaf did...but it still bites. She needs to stick to bubble gum pop
Jazzy – can't tell where you are coming due to your inabilty to articulate a clear thought. I'll ask again: are you really threatened by Miley Cyrus?? Do you have some sort of self-annointed diety by way of 'Punk Rock'? There are 2 things you should know about Mr. Cobain. 1) He loved pop music. The Beatles and John Lennon in particular. 2) He was OPEN-MINDED. Clearly you are not.
Open minded does not mean "deaf". Face it, she stinks (and her singing is bad too).
Thats your opnion. I personally don't like MC. But to say 'she can't sing' or 'she stinks' is stating an opnion not a fact. Besides I've never heard anyone say that KC was a great singer. He emoted as good as anybody and had an incredible amount of soul and feeling in his music and lyrics, but a great singer? Probably not. In my opnion.
Whats wrong with you guys
Boo! She just doesn't have a great singing voice period.
And Kurt did??? Give me a break, HE SUCKED.
Jiga-boo. Jiga-boo. Jiga-boo. Jiga-boo. I luv you! I want some of dat giant schlong!! I wanna sing a song about your dong. It can't be wrong when we get along. Let's hit da bong and it won't be long till we play ping-pong with your sac!!
Gotta love when a commentor tells others to be thoughtful and that they claim to be so "sure" of such and such! What are you the "thoughtfulness relativity police?"
I agree with litenup, Jazzy. It's actually good to be a little thoughtful and open-minded, and sometimes even a little understanding.
LoL !!!
I agree with jazzy, if you're so thoughtful, why are you telling other people what to do?
It was kinda cool. Undeserving of so many harsh comments. I liked seeing her get down with her bad self and the performance, while not quite as good as the original, was very good. I'm not familiar with her other songs but this was cool and I'm sure Kurt would not be unhappy about it. C'mon people. Be a little thoughtful before you comment...
I wouldn't be so "sure" that Kurt would have no problems with his song being covered by Miley Cyrus. What makes you so "sure" of that?
Why.... why did I listen to this!!???
I can't get the sound out of my head.... it hurts.... it hurts so much!
Echoes of Avril singing Metallica ... atrocity.
I thought it was OK actually and I liked the original.
can we have her go away yet? i may never be able to hear this song again, which sux b/c it is one of my all-time favorites.
GOD WAS THAT HORRIBLE!
The band was great, the music was very good. I'm impressed.
Sure, she's young and it's sacrilege but everyone tries something they're not ready for. Her voice was a bit off but what pains me most is, by her delivery, she has never really *listened* to the song.
She delivered the lyrics like they were read off of a teleprompter. Those words have meaning and the song is a commentary but for her, it's just a song that she enjoys but never studied. (Ya gotta *listen* to the song, not just hear it.)
Had she prepared more and been more passionate, she could have wowed us. Too bad. The band? They were great!
(Appalled this is on CNN. More appalled that I was compelled to comment.)
The original version of this song was awful, as nirvana is terribly overrated. That being said, it's hard to find anybody who can make it worse... But Miley found a way.
And to think all courtney love had to do was play this and Kurt would have killed himself... And she could have skipped the whole fake letter and murder thing.
FAIL.
I think y'all need to take a chill pill... It's just a song. Psshh. I won't let Hannah Montana ruin my day... What you all wear your emotions on your sleeves today??
Do you even know what a "drop" is??? You think it has to do with a mosh pit? Haaaaaaaaa haaaaaa what a dork!!!!
She sounded great. At least she sounded pretty close to Kurt. Kurt may not have liked it, but a) Kurt is dead and b) Kurt MARRIED Courtney Love, so I guess it doesn't really matter what he thinks. You did good Miley.
There is truth in what u said.. Ha!!!!
Ewwwww litenup you seem to be a violent person – maybe you need the jackboot. You sound scary. Have fun with yourself.
Sounds about right to me. Let's face it folks, Nirvana wasn't famous because Kurt was any kind of great vocalist. Grunge was a reaction to glam metal. Miley is a flash in the pan. So was Nirvana. It's all just disposable crap waiting for the next trend.
Amanda, amy, and litenup probably tell their kids the mud cookies they make taste good too!
"It's okay you got an "F" in school – and "F" doesn't just mean failure, it means fantastic and you are fantastic even though I'm to stooopid to teach you right from wrong because everyone is a winner even though I am to namby pamby to teach you the ways of the world. Yay!"
Miley is what happens when schools and/or parents say "everyone is a winner".
And How!
And how!!!
Is there supposed to be some sort of irony in that the poster child for child-oriented mass media consumption is singing a song that basically slams that whole ideology?
We have a winner!
BAM!
I like "Smells like Bowser". It's the best parody of this song so far (counting Miley's as a parody, since that was obviously NOT the song by Nirvana).
And before you start bashing me, I listen to plently of classic rock. So don't say I have a bad taste in music.
The fact that you listen to Classic Rock tells me you have bad taste in music! lol!
However, I agree with your take that Miley's version is a parody!
You're welcome ben
I'm glad someone finally did this song justice.
Kurt would get a kick out of this? Yeah a "kick" like "kick me my millions for stealing my song."
Have you ever even been in the trenches with teen spirit? You would probably run away and call your mommy to come pick you up.
Drop a drop or two and let us know when you become enlightened.
Jazzy – sounds like you've had a jack-boot or 2 in the head you mosh-pit poseur. Are you really threatened by Miley Cyrus?? Have you ever read anything about KC? I'm assuming you can read...
Wow, @litenup, that was kinda heavy.
Any requests?
um – leave Nirvana alone. really, really awful. don't try Ozzy, either, please.
Show me them t.itties
I know I know!! "i F-–g hate you " – Godsmack perfect song for you
I puked.... After I finished losing my lunch I realized stepping on a cat is more pleasing to the ear than her voice. Really this is bad. Washed up, if she is so original why did she need to do this? Thanks for ruining a great song Miley. You could NEVER be as great as the song you totally destroyed.
I for one believe miley is the songbird of our generation............hahaha almost held it in
What's the big deal? The band is great, she sounds great, it's a concert for ***k's sake. It's not like she's releasing it as a single and calling it her own. Kurt Kobain would get a kick out of this.
Exactly. Its really sad to see this much hatred and negativity over such an unimportant issue.
To be honest, the entire performance was lackluster for me. There was no real soul to the song, and as someone mentioned earlier, difficult to pull off live. She should have left the song alone and avoided the controversy as Kurt has such a rabid following to this day. BUT, as they say, any publicity is good publicity!!!
Mr. Ed rocks!
An interesting poll would determine who is more well-known: (a) Mr. Ed or (b) Miley Cyrus.
I would rather smoke salvia with Mr. Ed – he'd be funnier!
Come on reach out for your dreams..what she talking about ? She got a chance to be on the spotlight cause of her dad...
Do any of you not have anything better to do she is like any other celeb who is tryn to make it u need to think do u really know how this human being real heart feels hey yes she is out there but why not pray for as we do the person next to u she is a person to....I am a mother dont slam for having a mothers thoughts...we have so many more things to put our energy into.wow what abetter place this world would be if this many comments was put into action for that child the motjher dont know where they are, if they r dying on drugs, had food, have shelter and thinking if I just find her or him....
I am a mother too... If I was her mother I would have NEVER let her be a singer. Obviously for her own protection from herself.
I pray Miley just quits singing (if you can call it "singing).
Punctuation is your friend Amy.... Try it
I'm sorry...who is "untalebted?
Kurt Cobaine is rolling in his grave at this monstrosity. Kill her with fire is the first thing we should do.
Wow! does it really make you all feel better to talk about an 18 year old girl like that? At least she is doing somthing with her life instead of tearing others down! I have no respect for cyber jerks!
She doesn't need any to tear her down– she's doing a perfectly good job of it herself.
She has no talent. Maybe YOU should have your hearing checked. She can't even play her own guitar. My niece has a video of Miley in concert and the guitar that MILEY is playing has NO strings!
That is why you are commenting... To show the rest of us that you are so much more "holier than thou" that you rather slam strangers than celebs... Phahaha get over yourself... Miley fans ....
You don't like "cyber jerks"? who tear others down? Hmmm.
I heard her vocal coach is hearing impared and is paid to just say "sounds great"......
Entertainers like Miley remind me of plastic flowers. Looks good from a distance, but upon closer examination one discovers that there's really nothing of substance there.
Is that Elaine from Seinfeld dancing at the beginning? She sure has the leg kicks down! Stick out your thumbs girl!
It sounded Okay until she got to the chorus.
After listening to her do the chorus, I said aloud: "Pass the shotgun over here, Kurt".
And don't give me that "She a kid" shtick so don't criticize her. She is a millionaire and can pay people to tell her that she sounded great.
Holy cr@p that was bad. My ears have just sucked inside my head and turned themselves inside out. She has NO talent. Rosanne can sing better than her. She sounds constipated. Mr Methane can sing better than her with his butt-holio-a-lil-bit. Her "singing" just plain stinks. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Horrible!! Miley needs to get singing lessons and take some estrogen to get rid of her horse/man voice..she is butt ugly too...her face could stop a watch.
I think it technically sounds okay (although it was getting a bit flat towards the end), I think people just abhor the IDEA of miley cyrus, teeny bopper pop icon singing a song that's just not meant to be sung by people like her.
And that little dance or whatever you want to call it in the beginning was a little awkward....
Does "technically sounds ok" translate into HORRIBLE? I guess by your definition, Kirsty alley's figure is "technically ok".
I didnt think it was awkward – I was touching myself the whole time and it felt perfectly natural
So I love all the talentless and insulting comments about an 18 year old girl who makes millions of dollars with millions of fans, by unknown, untalebted people, whos greatest accomplishments lie in collecting unemployment, welfare, etc, that my tax dollars supply
Now this should be the comment of the day!!!
I work in a hospital. When he popularity wanes in 2 years I will still work in the hospital, which to me sounds more important that stringing along dippy teens and robbing them of their parents money. Pretty sure I win here.
Hate to break it to you. I have a job and a good one. She just sucks is all. Wonder how much of my tax money pays or has paid for some thing you needed? Been to college?
They dropped her in the bin ladin compound singing this and he shot himself.
Nice....perfect. I laughed so hard my beverage just went up my nose.
Ehh...the better part of her trickled down billy's leg....can we please stop giving this chick attention
Just laughed coffee all over the damn screen.....
All you fools making fun of how she looks know that if she gave you the time of day you wouldn't even hesitate to get with her. And to all you ladies making fun of her, you're just jealous.
I don't like your music Miley, but keep doing what you do girl. Haters can eat a fat one
Get with her....let me think....uhhhh......no.....
With teeth like that she'd probably bite it off. Only difference between her and Mr. Ed is that Mr. Ed can sing.
Ah the old "Jealousy" comeback. That tells me you are likely a pre-teen or early teens, and have no idea what you are talking about. Sucks to be you.
I just threw up in my mouth a little. And Kurt just rolled over in his grave.
She has not talent and she speaks funny. She is insulting Nirvana.
Eh, could be worse...maybe...
If Miley married Osama, she would be a widow now.
If an american was somehow married to that d******b*** she would have been advised on how to "take care of him" (as in "take care of the problem") and be a hero. Do you want that?
Elton John once said that a song cover is a compliment, but I think in this case, he would agree this was an insult to everyone involved.
Oh lord, baby Jesus. Please make it stop.
Her dance at the beginning made her look like she was having a seizure....really sad
ah, let as all remember the years before 2006, BEFORE we were even aware of her.
Man, poor Kurt ! And he thought he was depressed BEFORE !!! sigh
She should be locked in a portable toilet and set on fire.
LoL u r a Fa-reak!! What other crazy thoughts u got stored up in that frying pan of yours??
I see what you did there.
You call that a microphone I'll show you a microphone "OOOOOhhhh"
very good. only an idiot would disagree.
Are you talking about Miley or Tori? If you mean Miley, I'm happy to be considered an idiot for that cause! It isn't simply about hitting the notes, you know.
Miley is almost making me chop my ears off by her voice.
BLASPHEMY!!!!! BLASPHEMY!!!!!! KILL THE INFIDEL!!!!!!!!!
man these comments are effin great. didn't even need to bother with the torture vid
So first Bieber says he is the Kurt Cobain of his generation.....now Miley is coveing Nirvana songs.........now all they need to do is each get themselves a shotgun and a few shells an complete the transformation....
Yeah and let's all collect chicken heads in our closet as u do. Chillax y'all are freaks.
New Summers Eve makes a product that can help her with her problem of "smelling like teen spirit"
Miley, just stop...
the comments are almost as funny as this tool is...what was she possibly thinking...baaad career choice.
Will someone please tell me that this is just a bad dream...
my life is over..she looked like she was having some kind of attack..her outfit made me vomit a little..i wanna meet the people who told her it was ok to kill kurts song like this so i can shove a fire stick up their !@$..this is torture not entertainment, some things are better to sing in ur room NOT INFRONT OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D-:< ..if she keeps on with this nonesense she will not last..stick to performing on disney channel! stay out of real peoples world!!!!!!!!!
Glud, don't buy a ticket to her concert or one of her cd's, or click on her video. It is that simple. Not worth dying over or posting rude comments about her. Try to get over it.
Why are you picking on GM? Most of the comments on this board express the same thing. Miley didn't do the song justice, and she looks like a spider or something while she's singing. The hunched posture is doing the girl no favors, and the clothes were atrocious!
omg...just awful...and im not a big nirvana or kurt cobain fan...she just absolutely killed it (& not in a good way).
So totally awful!
What the hell was she thinking? Really, what was she thinking? She had to know she was going to get slammed for this for SO MANY reasons!!!
Miley covers Nirvana, which means you should cover your ears!
ha
This is one of the hardest songs to cover just because the "sound" of the original cannot be reproduced. It's an easy song to play but it's tough to hit that dynamic like the original had. Miley fails but so does everybody else including half the time Nirvana performed it live. Try to think of your favorite band playing this song, then tell me that their version didn't suck too when you heard it in your head. Just try.
Made it her own, and it was good.
This, this is just embarrassing, regardless of who is performing it.
Tyler, please review Just Sayin's post.
That said, covers are like sequels, never as good or the same as the original. .
P.S. Tori was friends with Kurt & he liked her version... Just sayin'
I'm not sure if Kurt and Tori were friends, but he and the rest of Nirvana HATED Tori's cover. It was brought up a lot and always made fun of it (Cobain called it the great "breakfast cereal version...). Kudos to Tori though for having good ears, as she covered it before it was released as a single. Good foresight.
At least Miley's version was true to the original. It's about as good as a teenaged girl can do it. I don't hate it an have to give her credit for the attempt. This is coming from a person who wish the entire Cyrus family would find a remote island and disappear
But Tori Amos is an artist and has a beautiful singing voice ... and I don't dare listen to the abomination of MC singing this anthem of my generation ...sometimes what is heard cannot be unheard!
((((((
I just threw up in my mouth...what a meat head!!!...she is the biggest looser in entertainment..! Spoiled little girl...feed her to the dogs!
Kurt Cobain changed my life with his music. This is sacrilege and he’s surely turning in his grave. This Miley cover embodies EVERYthing he fought against! I paid homage to him on the anniversary of his death with my portrait of the grunge legend on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/04/in-memoriam-kurt-cobain-and-lane-staley.html
Dude, he was just a man... Find something else worth spazzing over...
This was an insult to Gen Xers all over the world. Really? She didn't even change the song up to make it her own. Horrible.
I'd like to smell her teen spirit
And how dare she steal another piece '90s nostalgia by doing the 'Elaine Dance'!
If Kurt was alive he'd shoot himself again.
verrrry good
She is nothing compared to curt cobain and he is throwing up in heaven. That girl gots some nerves
certainly more nerve than talent...she is god awful
Checked out the video. I agree, this was really bad.
To say that was wrong is an UNDERSTATEMENT
You people are awful human beings...
This is true. While Miley's talent is lacking to say the very least, she's still a kid. Take it easy people. No one made you watch the video or listen to her music. Move along.
I agree. I would hate for someone to make fun of me for singing something I liked because they thought I was trying to be a poser or something. I have no problem with her singing a song that is meaningful to her, but being as this song was very meaningful to me as a youngster I do wish I hadn't listened to her version.
Up next, justin bieber covering raining blood.
HAHAHA!!! How about "F*** the Police" next, Miley?
After hearing this I now believe the end times are here
i fell into depression after watching this
Wow how original she is ,,, NOT! Now go back to your trailer park and don't forget your fake lips injection appt for your fake self! Seriously? May think you are "cute" but even Liz Taylor was better looking than you last year! You appear to be washed-up and haggard-looking already. Some people age better than others, and you are going the Gollum/Yoda route.
This suit is blacknot. This suit is NOT BLACK!
Best Post of the Day!!!
Plus extra points for working both Gollum and Yoda into a post on Miley Cyrus.
NOOOOOOOO!!! ..... I just died a little inside .... soooooo awful ......
Nothing is sacred, who really cares about cover versions of this or any other song? The only reason we don't see other artists and bands kill songs is because people (including me and you, yes you) wouldn't watch. I only got through a minute but that's because 1. this song is so dated at this point I wouldn't listen to it if Kurt comes back from the dead to do a Nirvana reunion concert, and 2. the song does nothing for her voice. She should've done Wicked Garden or Rain When I Die instead.
Why on Earth would you VOLUNTARILY suggest she decimate even more classic music from the era? Rain When I Die is all but sacred to some AIC fans; although, she's probably never even heard the tune, so I guess I shouldn't worry...
She is quite awful in general. She reached a new special level of atrocious with this cover. She can barely belt out her own soupy-faux-sincere-dreck and she claims to have written most of it. Now she's trying to cover Nirvana?!
Dear Miley. Stay in your lane until the road runs out. We hope that's soon. Thanks, Disgusted.
The sad part is that none of her fans have heard "smells like teen spirit" or Nirvana for that matter.
We sound like our parents now... :0
Nooooooooooooooo! Who in the world do you think you are Little Miss Wannabe??? Try that song in Mountainview or at Soldier Field and see how that goes!!!
Step off!!!
Please!!!
Nooooooooooooooo! Who in the world do you think you are Little Miss Wannabe??? Try that song in Mountainview or Soldier Field nd see how that goes!!!
Step off!!!
Please!!!
Smells like .... well you know.
What in the hell did Nirvana do to deserve this?
it's a good thing Kurt killed himself back in 94...because if he hadn't I'm sure he would have after seeing this dumb b!tch having epileptic seizures while trying to be a rebel. Also...I thought she was a singer... she doesn't appear to have any more talent than I do when singing the song in my car...
MILEY!!!!!!!!! I am begging you, please stop. You are butchering a masterpiece to GEN X. STOP!!!!
HOW DARE HER!!!!! I cant believe she was allowed to get away with this!!
Can we torture the Taliban with this?
you mean "enhanced interogation". The US is against "torture". Why don't we just show them hannah montana instead? Ten times worse as this.
I've got two words: MUFFIN TOP!!!
What a silly comment. She is an extremely thin young girl.
I'm not going to bash her or her successful attempts at completely destroying her vocal cords (which she has already done), I'm just embarrassed for her...mostly because she probably will never realize how embarrassing she really looks...or behaves...
No no no......nfw.....hell's no, people are turning in their graves.
wow this was TERRIBLE
You guys are harsh. Her cover is as good as Rosie Perez doing It's a Hard Knock Life.
I bet Courtney Love is getting paid for Miley to sing how bad she smells.... LOL
Congratulation to Miley. She did marvelous rendition of song. Kurt, while we all know he is in the hell, is very prow of her.
BOOOOBB AHHH LUUU!!
You have just showed anybody who reads this that you know nothing about music. There should be a shack somewhere in the hills of Wyoming where you can isolate yourself from the rest of society.
LOL! Great comment.
She was far better than Kurt, and I can't stand her either.
Kurt's #1 gift to music was blowing his brains out. Seriously, WORST BAND EVER!
I am SO glad he did that, I just wish he would've taken his wife with him.
@tenderitis
Kurt was in horrific personal pain, mentally ill. You just showed everyone what kind of compassion you have cheering the death of some who was no longer able to deal with what his brain was doing to him. Pray that neither you nor anyone you care about gets a mental illness. If you do, you too will be spit at and laughed at. I did not care for Nirvana though I could understand what kids saw in it. I do not have to like someone to feel compassion for them. Laughing at suicides is, in my opinion, about as low as it is possible to sink. I don't care for Courtney either but I do not wish her to be hurting so bad death is the only cure.
What exactly does "prow" mean?
Is it just me or does she look like she is having a seizure at the beginning of the song? That display was just frightening! I won't even talk about the song lest my fingers burst into flames as I type my true opinion.
What was she thinking? Stick to pole dancing "Party in the (fill in the blank)" cuz she refused to tour in the US.
That was horrible. I love that song and she ripped that song up. Awful. Awful. Awful.
I am appalled at this news! As a former punk rock teen, I find it funny that this teeny bopper is attempting to recreate an iconic alternative rock song. Poser!
That was worse than Casey!
Yes it was!!! Lol
She just RUINED this song for me. I now have to listen to the Nirvana version over and over again until I forget that she actually attempted to sing it.
Blasphemy. Kurt would be rolling over in his grave.
Did Courtney Hole actually give her the rights to cover that song?? To all suicidal musicians – make sure your crackhead, worthless wife doesn't get the rights to any of your music in the even that you off yourself!
She may Smell like teen spirit....But She Sounds like Dog Sh*&
Jimbo, I worship you! Miley has a mouth full of caca-doody!
I AGREE
I have always thought her mouth or smile was deformed. She might be sligtly tarded.
Is it just me or does she look like she's having a seizure and sounds like she smokes a pack and a half a day. I'm sure somewhere up there Kurt's trying to kill himself again after hearing this abomination.

Comment of the day
Agreed! That comment should get a prize or something!
congrats for the getting the "golden snark" 4 the snarkiest comment of the day.
When she dances, she looks like Elaine from Seinfeld.
RS ... Get out!
Why do these people insist on wearing platform shoes with long spiky heels and then try to prance around? Do they realize how stupid they look?
Yea Im sorry her shoes are the last thing I'm going to look at.
It is hard to miss feet flopping around on the end of twig legs because they are bulky and heavy. Women should get someone to video them or watch themselves in a long window to find out if they are actually capable of walking in heals. Many are not and they stagger down the street with a supercilious look on their faces and their feet taking on a life of their own.
We are having baked beans and fish sticks here at school today. All of my 4th graders are happy ! After lunch most of them will have to go make a miley cyrus in the restroom.
AHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! thank you so much.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yes, Sue you made my day. I guess that makes Miley "number two" and Bieber "number one"...
Sue, you are nothing short of awesome!
Baked beans and fishsticks???? Isn't that child abuse?
Sue, please come to the front office to accept your award. You have won the internets today.
she has a potty mouth. that is why it is always full of dooodoooo.
What are you, like, 5?
YEAH ! SHE SMELLS ! REALLY REALLY BAD ! This is the perfect son for this smelly cow !
what about you learn how to spell buddy? i doubt you know how she smells...just sayin'
Val,learn how to capitalize your words, just saying.
Josh, learn how to use proper punctuation. I'm just saying.
She can't sing; just sayin'
...Just sayin'.
Best thread evar!!1
Don't worry, James. I see what you did there you slick bastage.
As I recall, Teen Spirit actually smelled pretty good.
sounds ok to me.
Well its the only good song that she has EVER sung so I give her that and she did okay. I hate her, but at least she has some good taste in music.
I take that back, I dont hate her I just extremely dislike most of her music and tv shows.
HORRIBLE! what a disgrace.
Sounds as good as Nirvana's version, minus the taking itself so seriously bit.
It sounds better than the original to me.
PLEASE! whatever.. she ruined it!
Kill it... Kill it with fire...
Yeah! Fire! Fire!
Wow... this was pretty bad.
LOL. I'm old, so I felt that way when she did duet with Joan Jett on Oprah last week.
I really hoped she didn't slay that song like I thought that she would. Thanks for being predictable Miley. That was just terrible.
I didn't make through five seconds of the clip of her "singing"... she should go back to covering Mickey Mouse.
On another note, I find it funny how she says the song inspired her to get on stage considering it came out before she was born.
oh the humanity. stick to your bubble gum sound. your no where near ready to take on nirvana.
why? why? why? is this girl so popular? she's terrible from her singing , delivery , dancing? all the way down to her cheap crappy clothes line at walmart.
WOW that was really really bad
Having personally attended a Nirvana concert I can report to you that Miley nailed Kurt's "runway walk". Miley Cirus? More like Miley Stage Presence.
Yikes! Kurt is going to haunt her until she stops singing that. And what's with the Elaine dance at the beginning. "It's like a full body dry heave set to music."
I think I heard Curt Cobain rolling in his grave....
No, you have to nuke it from orbit..it's the only way..
I give it about an 85%. Not bad at all really.
Wow. Elaine Banes called......she wants her dancing moves back.
I was not even into music when this song came out. She was not even born yet. Sure the music may have inspired her, but she has no idea of the cultural values that inspired it.
Cobain is trying to kill himself a second time after listening to that.
It wasn't that bad, it wasn't that good
She makes the girl that sings the Friday song look talented.
What the hell was this???? Horrible ...she needs to stick to smokin the pot thats all she is good at!
LMFAO Someone broke out the Elaine dry heeve dance before i did..so so true
All you haters are just mad because you can't make millions of dollars doing something you love to do!!
I could not watch past her on stage seizure and the first few notes. I seriously feel sick to my stomach. It's like Barney covering a Beatles song. Perverse. At odds with nature. Evil.
Such a disgrace. She doesn't he deserve to be singing a remake of that song. He must be rolling over in his grave right now.
Ijust threw up a little in my mouth. . .
wow really? we killed Bin Laden but that shouldn't make people think that anything is possible. some things should be left alone... JB
She's a loser, please go away.
I was afraid she was having an epileptic seizure when the song started. Apparently, she was dancing?
And this is why Cobain offed himself. He knew this is the crap that was going to happen to his music once it went popular mainstream. At least he wasn't here to experience it first hand.
Anyone else notice that the little popup from the person who uploaded this video shows how mentally challenged Miley Cyrus fans are. Spend less time skipping school and getting your "hair did" and more time reading a book.
I am more than positive NONE of her fans know what band the song originated from let alone the actual song, nor do they care cause they are teenie boppers who know nothing about real music
sounds just as bad as courtney love...
I think Kurt Cobain just killed himself again...
Where does she get off insulting Kurt Cobain like this? Is she totally brain dead? People like her are what he sang against. She and her father should just get a hotel room together and stay away from the rest of us.
If there is no fire available, maybe she can borrow Kurts shotgun!
Oh my, Miley... Go back to Disney. And someone please inform her she owes Elaine Benes royalties for the spastic dance moves. How embarassing!!!
That is possibly the worstNirvana cover that I have ever heard. Where is a hijacked plane when you need it....
Courtney Love is going to kick Mileys A$$!!!
smells like fish
LOL! That's so close to what I was going to say!
