    Thought it was good.  Refreshing to hear something that’s not a karaoke version.  It’s what a cover should be.  Something similar but different.

    So... when it was first announced that she would be covering a Pearl Jam song, my first reaction was: "please, please not Black or Alive, for the love of everything." So I guess I was a little bit encouraged by the song choice, and the fact that she's done some pretty solid covers recently. That said, I... don't like this.
    In other news, Miley recently announced that she's working on an album of Metallica covers. Honestly, my only question is: who is this for? I mean, it's not for Metallica fans, and I assume it's not for her existing fans. Genuine question, by the way.
    For her, maybe? Get to a certain level of fame, do what you want, and whomever gets on board gets on board. Gotta respect that.

    Why is she doing so many covers.... because covers get a lot of views on youtube or what? She's doing as many covers as original songs...
    She's doing it for me. Cuz I love her covers.

    Doesn't she have a Just Breathe tattoo? I'd say the song is important to her.

    Miley Cyrus is fucking great. No joke. Would love to see her cover more PJ. She's a great rock singer. Look up her cover of Say Hello 2 Heaven and Zombie and Heart of Glass. Don't be judgy dicks. 
    I like you.

    She nailed Say Hello 2 Heaven at the Cornell tribute show. 

    This one, not so much. 

    But she’s clearly a fan. 
    agreed. she killed at the cornell show. 

    i just don't like the vocals on this version of just breathe. i'm admittedly not a big fan of the band's post-avocado "cheese", but just breathe is a great 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. 
    Dolly Parton is her godmother. She has done plenty of songs with her.

    Well, she covered Pearl Jam and didn't sound like Scott Stapp on nitrous, so she gets an A+ from me.  Facetiousness aside, it's one of Pearl Jam's most beautiful songs and she did it justice.  Gave it her own touch but kept it undeniably PJ.

    My god what they won't do to keep this girl relevant.

    is she making "bangers" with Ghostface, or is she punk?

    Is she doing "performance art" masturbation or fellatio on stage or is she a lesbian?

    Enough is enough already 

    This is cheapening to the PJ brand and shouldnt be supported

    Yeah how dare that woman express herself sexually, artistically and delve into different genres of music.

    Lame cover. I much prefer Bentley's and Nelsons' versions of this absolutely beautiful ballad.

    There’s way more important shit to bicker about than a cover version of a song, I’m not glued to everything PJ at all I like their new music but that’s about it!

    It's not that bad. And it's also not better than as some have said

    it's funny that some consider it a setlist killer. does everyone want songs like rearviewmirror 30 times in a set? a set ebbs and flows. just breathe is a beautiful song. it's 100x better than sirens in my opinion.
