I think Miley seems pretty cool in general and was thinking I’d let all you Even Bro’s have it for being so closed-minded, but I decided to actually click on the clip first and...hoo boy. 

Though on the other hand...it might be the case that this is just what you would get if you asked someone born in 1997 to do an impression of Eddie. 

Anyway, bring on the Billie Eilish cover of Man Of The Hour. 

I went in with an open mind or I wouldn’t have bothered. The fake country twang in her voice is hilarious.

I know Miley has lost  a close friend to Cystic Fibrosis; I have a niece and nephew with CF; CF affects the lungs and the digestive system.  I believe she did this to honor her friend.  I also believe she has a tattoo of Just Breathe, trust me folks, if you were at all familiar with CF, you would get this 100% and not be offended that someone outside your musical spectrum covered a song of your favorite artist.

How would I know that? I am not saying she can’t cover the song and I certainly wasn’t offended. 

All you said is very touching and I have a family history with CF myself. 

Having said that... just because her heart is in the right place doesn’t make her version good. 

rummy

Rolling Stone actually just wrote that she injects more life into the song then Vedder did in the original.
🤔 

Please. We must never mention that magazine. I’m still reeling from omission of Vs and Vitalogy (and Superunknown and Dirt) from their recent Top 500.

(And the performance is terrible.)

I never said it was a good cover, I was just relating to why she covered it.  Everyone is so ready to attack this artist because they don't care for her, fine.  I was pointing out her possible reason for covering the song in general. 

Too much hatred around this board anymore.  So much for the Pearl Jam message of love, acceptance and tolerance.  Watch out for each other, take care of each other . . . that message went way over the head of most members here today.  If any of you have that much hatred and general disrespect for your fellow human beings in your heart, you're not getting it, not the music or the message in the music.

I think you are over reacting. I don’t see a single post here attacking her personally. Basically everyone was saying what you said in bold above. I did actually laugh out loud... not because it was the offspring of the Achy Breaky Heart guy covering PJ ... I laughed because it was sooo BAD. 

Better than my karaoke version? Probably. But I’m not on MTV. 

It wasn’t hatred... and your attack on the “community” at large is hyperbolic.

Are a lot of people hearing her sing for the first time? That's her sound. I wouldn't declare that the definitive version but it's cool hearing her do a Pearl Jam song.

I thought it was cool... She's been doing music her whole life, she gets it and appreciates it. Shit, she did a song with Dolly Parton, that's cool stuff. Good on her for singing a song she enjoys.

away better than original

She has a great voice - nice cover. And I liked her version of Sweet Jane earlier.

I love miley cyrus. Her last single is FIRE!!!

EDIT: That cover was off.

Agree.
I held off from sharing words around how I really felt about it.
I don't dislike Ms Miley at all.  I think it is cool that she does her own thing.
Also, just coincidentally, I volunteered for CF for a period of about five years, as one of my friends ran an office for their org.  Did all sorts of work and raised lots of money to try and help, met hundreds of kids with CF.
Really odd attack on personal opinions of a song cover 
Nothing but love, acceptance, and tolerance in my view of her....I just think the rendition of this song is not anything I will press play on ever again.

No. The original is still the best:

Just Breathe by Pearl Jam is #50 on iTunes rock songs chart. http://bit.ly/PJamJustBreathe

tschav

I was onboard until the :30 mark, then did that thing that goats do when they freeze and fall over.

if it wasn’t unplugged and the band was at the same intensity level I’d be less offended, but that was...

RS is a joke on all fronts. Reviews, opinion pieces, lists, ... all a joke.

I have no interest in hearing any versions of this song.

Prolly a good thing contemporary artist cover PJ, because before long the fanbase will twindle and young people will say “Pearl who? What did she sing?”

That's what I've been saying. Especially when people here or on the fb groups don't want PJ to do anything that will keep them in public view. Or us voting for them in polls or the like. But when they're not in an RS or whatever list of top 100 of something they get upset.
