Actor Bill Murray, who starred in Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day, attended the 2016 ceremony. When Miley Cyrus opened the festivities with a rendition of Frank Sinatra\u2019s \u201cMy Way,\u201d nobody could have predicted the amazing caliber of her performance.<\/p>\n<p>Like Sinatra\u2019s 1969 classic, Miley\u2019s version opens with a grand piano as the background, a waltz-like tempo embellished with pop icon vocal runs, and clever asides interspersed between words. Bill Murray, who was seated in the audience, gave Miley a standing ovation as she ascended the stage and watched her first verse with tears in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Miley\u2019s revised words came to the end of her cover\u2019s first line, \u201cBill did it his way.\u201d Miley said, \u201cSo am I!\u201d as a flurry of electric guitars suddenly broke the song\u2019s solemn tone. Her pianist, who suspiciously resembled an unidentified Matt Lucas, responded by dancing wildly and incorporating synths into Miley\u2019s rock arrangement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--middle_content\"><\/div>\n<p>Those who have never seen Miley\u2019s rock covers may be shocked by this edgy performance, in which she dons a silver glitterball bodycon outfit. She has received 180 million views for her three-year YouTube cover of Blondie\u2019s \u201cHeart Of Glass,\u201d 24 million views for her duet with Metallica on \u201cNothing Else Matters,\u201d and over 7.7 million views for her performance of Pink Floyd\u2019s \u201cWish You Were Here.\u201d With over 3 million views on YouTube, \u201cMy Way\u201d continues Miley\u2019s trend of rock cover songs that are better than the originals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since its founding in 1998, the esteemed Mark Twain Prize for American Humor has been given to a number of iconic American comedians, such as Whoopi Goldberg, Will Ferrell, Adam &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8490"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8490\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8513,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8490\/revisions\/8513"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
