Miley Cyrus - Forgiveness And Love live @ AMAs 2010

No matter how cliched or dramatic a song is, teen Queen Miley Cyrus always knows how to sell it with her vulnerability and believability. This performance wasn't any different. Despite what's going on surrounding her parents' divorce, Cyrus took to the stage to perform Forgiveness And Love, a ballad that has shades of country in it which always works in Cyrus' favour. However, I think, she could've done better if she performed Stay, which if you study the lyrics, applies more to Miley than ever. Still, it was a great performance.

Miley Cyrus - Who Owns My Heart live @ Wetten Dass...?

Teen pop star Miley Cyrus has finally embarked on her European promo tour for latest single Who Owns My Heart, the second International single lifted from her third studio album Can't Be Tamed. Cyrus headed to German TV show Wetten Dass...? to perform Who Owns My Heart and while it wasn't a strong vocal performance, I think Cyrus pulled it off for the most part. And I love how the audience was happily clapping along in the beginning when there was hardly a beat but the clapping faded away when the beat-heavy chorus kicked in.

Miley Cyrus - Who Owns My Heart [Music Video Premiere]

After all the this-could-be-a-single-no-wait-that-will-be-a-single mess that has plagued Miley Cyrus' latest album Can't Be Tamed, I just lost all interest and just patiently waited. Then there was news of Cyrus releasing Every Rose Has Its Thorn as the second single in the States (bad move) while Who Owns My Heart will be the next international single. Well, sure took her long enough. The music video for Who Owns My Heart has finally arrived and it has that Europop sound currently dominating airwaves, charts, whatever that I just can't wrap my head round why in the world Hollywood Records didn't want to release this in the States. But then again, you never know, they're messing up promotion with Can't Be Tamed anyway.

But hopefully, this is a fresh start. Cyrus is sticking with the skank image (though I don't like her hair here) and it's obvious she wants to rid every bit of that Disney image, therefore annihilating more of her core fanbase.

Someone give this girl some advice, please.
