Image Credit: Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images; Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagicYou know what makes a Friday morning pleasurable — besides thinking about the simple truth that in eight hours I’ll be enjoying a cocktail on a street-side table somewhere in NYC? The combination of Miley Cyrus and Bret Michaels! Singing his hit “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”!
Yeah that’s right, the teen queen showed up with the so-having-a-moment Michaels on Good Morning America to sing the song together. Cyrus, of course, has included a studio version of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” on her upcoming album, Can’t Be Tamed, which goes on sale this coming Tuesday. We’ve already been treated to gems like the title track “Can’t Be Tamed” and “Liberty Walk.” Michaels’ has got a new album, Custom Built, coming out on July 6, and the single he recorded with Cyrus, “Nothing to Lose,” has already been causing quite the stir.
I should have begun with the disclaimer that I’m an unabashed fan of Miley Cyrus if that wasn’t already clear — “Party in the U.S.A.” (which Cyrus also performed on GMA) is still in full rotation on my iPod and summer jam list. And I have no ill will against Bret. So I will go out and say: I immensely enjoyed this performance between the two of them. First, “Thorn” is just a great song. Second, they were both truly singing, as you could tell from the little imperfections here and there. And third, they have the same hair basically! So overall, good stuff this morning on GMA.

Tanner, you just jumped Slezak and Barrett to become my favorite EW writer. I love Miley too!
Take the mic away from Miley, she totally slaughtered the song. She should stick to her stupid bubble gum music. UGH!
This was really awful
Bret ROCKS – no need for extra window dressing (Miley)who didn’t add anything (except more @$$ time) to and actually made it worse
you should go stick your face in a pile of crap . Get over it .. all you haters . she is not going change by yalls stupid little immature comments . Get A LIFE !! MILEY ROCKS !! Your jealous of the fact she is popular and rich and can sell millions of albums . Anything any of you haters produce won’t make it in the market . It would almost likely make it in to the 99 cents store .SO SHUTUP!!
Is that your age?
We will all share a good laugh with you over this Miley nonsense when her career tanks by the end of 2010.
you go you tell thim about it
Who’s thim?

To say she rocks is stupid come on thats like saying taylor swift is a headbanger!
this is so bad
I bet yall are adults and immature enough to say crap like this . you won’t have a life !! GET OVER YOURSELF !!
Go Miley! I hope she makes it out of the Disney shadow and has a very successful post-Hannah career. She is a talented young lady!
The duo ROCKED. Bret and Miley were AWESOME. They both have great careers. That was a perfect match for one of the greatest songs of all time.
you must be gay!
UGH is jealous.
The kindness of these two (2) artists is well noted and they deserve respect.
Go Miley!
Go Bret!
Jealous? Jealous of what? Being either a washed-up, hasbeen with a nest of herpes or a slut-wannabee who will probably be a wasp in that same nest before too long?
I don’t think so there, Ms. HIV Positive.
UGH, I am sure that Miley Cyrus and Bret Michaels really care about what you write about them here…and just because YOU say so, I am sure they are just shaking with fear that their careers will “tank” by the end of 2010.
I’m not a Miley fan, but you are just a total dou@he.
Is this the only way you can get attention?
Looks like two (2) more haters joined the group while I was typing my comments.
Because they are nice with their fame, Bret and Miley deserve EVERY good thing that comes to them.
Go Miley!
Go Bret!
you must be real young!
Miley has a country voice….she looks country…she should stay country and stop trying to be a pop princess.
This is boggling my mind.
