Perhaps surprisingly, not awful. Rather good, IMHO.
Rock out with your cock out.

Some say cover versions can never be better than the original, ie they're just wannabe's.
I have to disagree, and I cite Jolene - Sisters Of Mercy (original, Dolly Parton).
I guess there's two kinds of cover version. One when they try to copy the original as closely as they can... and can never quite manage it. Two, an adaptation. Like that Sisters track... Andrew Eldritch singing about "Astbury" (from The Cult) puts a whole different spin on things.

Amazing, and *brilliant* cover of When The Levee breaks by A Perfect Circle. From an album of similarly odd covers, if that's you kind of thing.

I'd put this one into the wannabe pile,
She has an interesting voice and can sing (www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwblaKmyVw)
but just listened to some of her songs, all the ones I listened to seemed not to fit her voice and sounded crap

"wannabe"?
Weird term to use about one of the most successful singers of all time.
Was Elvis just a wannabe?

You are easily swayed by a revealing costume. Not only is your hearing affected, you'll soon go blind.

Miley Cyrus “doing rock” just isn’t convincing.

In twenty years, someone will post Zapanaga's cover, and say "Nah, Miley Cyrus could sing".
Sure, Debbie Harry could sing. So can this girl.

This will be as memorable in 20 years as a performance on Star in their eyes "tonight I'm going to be a prostitute Deborah Harry, Matthew". She hasn't done anything with the song, it's the same backing, same tempo, just her doing a shit shouty rendition of it. She's dressed like a whore pole dancer so you can see her jugs, which doesn't really suit a breezy song about failed relationships, but this seems to appeal to you like the Little Big videos with shit songs and naked chicks in them that you post. Just watch some porn and have a wank instead of these FHM mag level teases with crap music, sockcooker. you'll be less frustrated.

I find it hard to respond at an appropriate level. For future reference, was I
*mean like saying "Stop posting your MOR dross, you have the musical taste of a schoolgirl waking up after a 20 year coma"?
or
*mean like hounding another b3tan over many months accusing him of paedophilia every time he posts his game reviews?
Any feedback appreciated

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.
