When Miley Cyrus performed a cover of a classic Roberta Flack song at her very own Rainbowland Studios in Malibu, it sent the internet absolutely crazy! The track Cyrus chose was ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,’ a beautiful ballad that she performed with a country-infused twist. Whether you are a fan of the singer or not, this cover is bound to absolutely blow you away.
Looking stunning in funky sunglasses and a casual t-shirt dress with rolled-up sleeves, Cyrus made her mind-blowing, emotive vocal performance look like the easiest thing in the world to pull off. She clearly has a huge love and respect for the original song, which may be one of the reasons that the video has already racked up over three million views on YouTube alone.
Comments from both self-professed Cyrus fans and those who have never heard her music before came rolling in, with everyone agreeing that the singer added an extra level of meaning to the song through her gently soulful vocals. “Whatever you think of her, this young lady can SING,” said one fan, whilst many others confessed that Cyrus’ rendition had brought them to tears.
