ATTENTION<\/em> kicks off on an upbeat note with the rebellious \u201cWe Can\u2019t Stop\u201d mashed with the Pixies\u2019 hit \u201cWhere Is My Mind?\u201d Miley keeps the energy going with performances of some of her most provocative pop songs, such as \u201c4\u00d74,\u201d \u201c(SMS) Bangerz,\u201d \u201c23,\u201d and \u201cDooo It!\u201d<\/p>\n

Before belting out heart-wrenching renditions of two ballads, \u201cNever Be Me\u201d and \u201cMaybe,\u201d Miley took a few moments to address the crowd and confess her anxiety about performing live since the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is feeling new to me again, which is f***ing exciting, but it\u2019s also terrifying,\u201d she admitted. \u201cSomething that should feel so natural just doesn\u2019t anymore, and I just wanted to be honest about standing up here right now, it doesn\u2019t feel the same \u2026 I\u2019m just finding my feet up on this platform again, and I know that all of us are going through that same experience. We\u2019re just trying to integrate back into reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a performer myself, I was especially impressed with Miley\u2019s vocal strength and stamina while listening to the album. Most of her songs are demanding and require a high level of energy, but Miley consistently delivers throughout the concert. Her husky alto voice sails effortlessly through her setlist. Since her Hannah Montana days, Miley\u2019s vocal range, technique, and stage presence have set her apart from other young child actors\/wannabe pop stars. Now, 17 years into her career, Miley\u2019s iconic voice has aged gracefully, developing a signature rasp and emotional depth that now characterizes all of her music.<\/p>\n

Following a riveting performance of Dolly Parton\u2019s \u201cJolene,\u201d one of her most famous covers, Miley offered the audience touching words of encouragement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope this show is a representation of you never need to choose who you want to be, and you don\u2019t need to fit into any boundaries or into any boxes,\u201d she declared. \u201cYou can be anything and everything that you\u2019ve ever wanted to be all at the same time. Everything that contradicts itself can coexist in harmony, and I believe that.\u201d<\/p>\n

To the audience\u2019s delight, Miley closed her set list with three of her biggest hits, all from different eras of her career \u2013 \u201cThe Climb,\u201d \u201cWrecking Ball,\u201d and \u201cParty in the USA.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Miley herself noted during the show, many of her longtime fans have watched her grow up in the spotlight and explore a variety of personas and identities. Now at age 29, she unapologetically accepts herself for the person she is becoming and empowers others to do the same.<\/p>\n
