Miley Cyrus defends Hollywood Bowl performance after addressing online criticism
Miley Cyrus responded to negative comments about her recent shows at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday.
Addressing claims of lack of effort
Cyrus told the audience that she had never been accused of not putting her heart into a performance. She stated that some online commentary was intended to generate clickbait rather than reflect reality. The singer emphasized that the concerts were an experience for her and not an experiment for the fans.
Acknowledging changes in live singing
The pop star admitted that performing live does not feel as natural as it once did. She explained that backing tracks handled vocals on older hits while she focused on being fully present. Cyrus revealed she nearly decided not to appear for the second show before ultimately choosing to perform.
Context of her return to touring
This two-night stand marked her first major concert tour in over a decade. Critics had noted that she did not sing every word during the Friday night debut. Cyrus clarified that she would not allow questions about where her heart was when she is on stage.
