it's that Cyrus has taken all the nuanced delivery of Blondie's original, and kicked the shit out of it. Technically it's competent, but that doesn't make it good. Of the song, Debbie Harry said “The lyrics weren’t about anyone, they were just a plaintive moan about lost love." - Key words there are 'plaintive moan' - so the shouty, aggressive delivery of Cyrus totally undermines the effectiveness, and power, of the song.
