I don't know. I think it's a sign that she might actually have decent taste in music and want to sing something other than the commercial crap that's making her rich. She's just not angry and frustrated enough to pull it off properly.
Rather than think of it as Miley Cyrus not doing justice to Nirvana, I'll think of it as a bunch of tweens having real rock introduced to them in a roundabout way.
Hehehe... the irony of the lyrics with that audience are great.
I keep wondering whether she's going to go down the "Britney Spears Route" or the "Pop/fake country" route. This doesn't put her down either, but at least it puts her farther from the "Britney" route.
I still dont think she can sing very well, but thats alot better than some of her songs i have heard.

Much like Scarlett Johansson singing with The Jesus and Mary Chain, and her Tom Waits covers.

For this to be true you have to suspend belief that nirvana was commercial crap as well...

Wow. That's pretty cynical. I'm not any diehard Nirvana fan or anything, but Cobain's music, to my ear at least, comes off as raw and original--the very antithesis of "commercial crap".
I got my ECU flashed at a dealer a few weeks back. I sat in the waiting room doing some work on a notebook, but they had the TV on and it was loud. I have never seen the show with Regis and whoever before, but after catching a few seconds of it, I am convinced that I missed the apocalypse. These people make a career out of talking about famous people who are famous largely because they are famous. The Regis guy spent like 1/2 hour talking about some super secret dinner he was invited to attend with a bunch of other famous people. Sadly, I knew some of these names, but I could not figure out for the life of me what each one of them was famous for, exactly. None of them was a gifted comedian, exceptional in some technical field, participated in any groundbreaking research or discovery, completed wondrous works or art or committed any selfless act. The world is over.
I once had a beer with Tim Suddard, this is just balancing that out.

Maybe one day we can have a beer and you can explain the Kardasians to me.

Who?
No, I am not kidding. I heard the name before on a South park episode before, but I have no idea who that is.
Beer sounds good, though. We can do that much. maybe we can talk about people who actually contribute in some meaningful way to society.

I don't know, but I'd say that singing music that appeals to the largest audience would show she has decent taste in music.
If a lot of people don't like a certain music that's just proof it's not very good.
Commercial crap that makes her millions just proves lots of people like it which is the definition of good taste. As they say the proof is in the pudding. If it makes a lot of money then people must like it.
And besides not really caring for her voice she's pretty dang ugly and gangly.

So well done, that I think some people might not get it, and think you're serious.
Wait....... These aren't the signs of the apocalypse?
Only tangentially on topic--just wanted to bring these gems out.
Some covers can be just as good as the original--if not better.
