When Miley Cyrus And Billy Idol Set The Stage On Fire With Her Raw “Rebel Yell’ Scream”
Miley Cyrus may be known for her pop hits, but she proved she can rock out with the best of them when she joined Billy Idol on stage for a powerful rendition of his classic “Rebel Yell.”
At the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival, Cyrus teamed up with the punk legend himself for an electrifying duet of the 1984 hit. Their energy was off the charts, and they gave the crowd a performance that was full of grit and raw power.
Billy kicked things off with the opening verse before joining Cyrus for the chorus. When the Tennessee pop star took over the second verse, it was clear she had a powerhouse rock ‘n’ roll voice.
Her rich, smoky lower tones and electrifying high notes made for a jaw-dropping performance, especially considering it was all live.
As for Billy, even after 33 years since he first recorded the track, he still brought the same fiery energy we’ve come to expect from the legendary English rocker.
Billy’s vocal tone may have evolved slightly over the years, but when it comes to his signature screams, they’re as fierce as ever, sounding just like they did in his 20s.
Seeing him deliver those powerful vocals at 61 is impressive. As for Cyrus, her rock ‘n’ roll influences shine through. Her screams were spot-on, adding an electrifying energy to the show and becoming a true standout moment.
The video of their collaboration has reached nearly 15 million views. Viewers shower it with praise like “Billy is a legend, great singer, performer and artist. Props to Miley Cyrus, the girl can sing the arse off anything. Great combination of generations.”
