Miley Cyrus and Bret Michaels Sing ‘Nothing to Lose’ Love Song

She’s 17 years old and he’s 46, but together they make incredible music. Disney darling Miley Cyrus has joined forces with Bret Michaels of Poison to record a new single for him. Because the song is about love, even though it’s ultimately a sad one (mature too), many are raising their brows at the choice of words – but that takes little of the overall value of the song, it is being said.

As of now, the public opinion is torn as to what to make of the duet. Some label it “creepy” (common sense prevents us from reproducing some of the harshest terms used to describe it), while other say that, while somewhat odd in terms of the couple performing it, “Nothing to Lose” is not at all bad. The Huffington Post wonders the same, which is why it set up a special poll to see what its readers make of the release.

“Bret Michaels has released a new single called ‘Nothing to Lose,’ featuring Miley Cyrus. The former Poison frontman, 46, sings to Miley, 17, lyrics such as, ‘Tonight in the darkness there’s nothing to lose / We both know better than this, still we can’t resist / Slowly get undressed.’ Miley is also recording a cover of Poison’s hit rock ballad ‘Every Rose Has its Thorn’,” the Post writes, trying to stay neutral to allow readers enough room to make up their own mind and take part in the poll.

Miley herself sees nothing wrong with the song or, at least, if she does, she hasn’t said anything in this sense just yet. “Bret and I had a great time in the studio together just hanging out and making music,” Miley said a short while ago, when rumors emerged that she was about to cover one of Poison’s biggest hits. “He’s is so passionate about music and it shows. I think it is such a rad collaboration because it shows that two artists that seem so different on the outside can come together and organically create something that we are both proud of,” the young singer added.

In the end, perhaps considerations like age shouldn’t even matter when it comes to making music (i.e. art), it is also being said. Then again, everyone is free to decide. Below is the recently released “Nothing to Lose” from Bret Michaels and featuring Miley Cyrus. Enjoy.
