Former Disney star covers Billy Idol, actually manages to pull it off

Had you told me the other day that Miley Cyrus could ever cover one of Billy Idol’s most iconic songs, I would have probably scoffed at you. Yet it happened – at last night’s VH1 Divas show.

Check out the video below if you don’t believe me.

Decked all in leather (except for her toned midriff, which was in plain sight) and showing off the baddest case of rock ‘n’ roll attitude (and I mean that in the best sense possible), Miley took to the stage to perform “Rebel Yell.”

She crowd-surfed, she danced and she sang her little heart out, and did justice to a song that made history when it came out, which, you will agree, is no small feat.

For all those saying that Miley will always be an overexposed and overpriced Disney product, the video below should stand as confirmation that she can do more. Enjoy!
