Miley Cyrus與Brittany Howard在《SNL50》中向Sinéad O’Connor致敬
Miley Cyrus 和 Brittany Howard 在2025年2月16日星期日播出的《SNL50:周年慶典》中,向已故的Sinéad O’Connor獻上了一份感人的致敬。兩人深情演繹了Prince的歌曲《Nothing Compares 2 U》,這首歌在1990年被O’Connor翻唱後成為全球熱門歌曲。這場表演由樂隊The Roots伴奏,展示了Cyrus沙啞的嗓音和Howard充滿靈魂的吉他演奏,為這首經典情歌帶來了全新的詮釋。
這首歌的選擇具有重要意義,因為O’Connor與《週六夜現場》的歷史既具有開創性,也充滿爭議。1992年,O’Connor在節目中無伴奏演唱了Bob Marley的《War》,並撕毀了教皇約翰·保羅二世的照片,以抗議天主教會中的兒童虐待行為。這一舉動引發了廣泛的反彈,並成為她職業生涯的轉折點。儘管爭議不斷,O’Connor後來在回憶錄中將這一時刻視為一次關鍵的叛逆行為,稱其「讓我重回正軌」。
Cyrus和Howard的表演並未直接提及O’Connor 1992年的抗議行為,但卻巧妙地致敬了她的遺產。這場致敬發生在O’Connor於2023年去世一年多後,享年56歲。Cyrus曾在她的《Wrecking Ball》時期與O’Connor發生過爭執,但近年來表達了對這位已故歌手的欽佩,稱她為「真正的藝術家」,並讚揚她的勇氣。
《SNL50》特別節目在NBC播出,慶祝這檔標誌性喜劇節目50週年。Cyrus和Howard在兩天前的《SNL50:回家音樂會》中也曾合作演出,翻唱了Queen的《Crazy Little Thing Called Love》。他們在《Nothing Compares 2 U》中的合作是周年慶典中的一個亮點,既向O’Connor的持久影響力致敬,也彰顯了節目豐富的音樂歷史。
