Miley Cyrus and Live Performance2:17 – 7:12

K

2:17

Starting with Miley Cyrus.

K

2:19

So in case you missed it, Miley performed two shows at the Hollywood Bowl this past Friday and Sunday, Friday the 16th of October, Sunday the 18th of October.

K

2:31

And this was her first time doing live shows in four years.

K

2:35

That's what I read.

K

2:36

And It's been four years since she's really done any sort of live show because she really isn't touring, hasn't been touring.

K

2:44

And so this was very exciting for Miley Cyrus fans.

K

2:48

And she was performing at the Hollywood Bowl, which according to her, was the place where she got to see her godmother, Dolly Parton, perform live.

K

2:57

So it was very, very special to her.

K

2:59

During the performance, she did a tribute to Dolly Parton where she got very emotional.

K

3:05

So Doing a show after having been absent from the stage for so many years was a big, big deal.

K

3:11

Doing a show where she got to honor her late godmother, Dolly Parton, was a big, big deal.

K

3:17

And I think there was a ton of excitement around this for her fans, of which I am not one.

K

3:23

I don't dislike Miley Cyrus, but I would not call myself a fan.

K

3:26

So I didn't even know any of this was happening until...

K

3:30

I woke up Saturday and was getting served videos from multiple people, actually, fans of hers saying, you know, while they love her, the show did not meet expectations.

K

3:46

expectations.

K

3:47

And the reason the show did not meet expectations is because she didn't sing for good whole chunks of the show.

K

3:57

And now that would be, I imagine, a bit surprising.

K

4:05

And a bit disappointing if you're a fan who paid a lot of money to see one of your favorite singers singing and they did not sing as much as you expected during the show.

K

4:16

Yes, that would be disappointing.

K

4:19

And people remarked on this.

K

4:20

We'll include a couple clips of some of the videos that I think caught the most attention.

K

4:26

Well, the criticism got back to Miley from her Friday night show.

K

4:30

And when she got on stage on Sunday, she addressed the criticism and essentially said, what I will not stand for is people acting as if, you know, I'm not going to show up for my fans and I don't care about my fans.

K

4:46

And I actually just went back and rewatched it because I didn't want to misquote her.
