Miley and Noah Cyrus’ incredible Backyard Sessions duet singing “I Got So High That I Saw Jesus”
Miley Cyrus' "Backyard Sessions" have gained viral status since 2012 — the Tennessee singer has welcomed cameras to her garden for exceptional performances of recent hits and surprising covers five times now. When Miley brought her younger sister Noah Cyrus on stage to collaborate on Noah's song, their remarkable duet went viral, gathering over 13 million views! "I Got So High That I Saw Jesus" resembles a gospel hymn despite its psychedelic lyrics. The gentle country track first appeared in 2020 on Noah's second EP, "The End of Everything." While Noah's original video has collected over 7 million YouTube views, her version with older sister Miley has nearly reached twice that number in the same timeframe.
Fans can't help watching this clip repeatedly for good reason! From their initial harmony, Noah and Miley captivate listeners as their voices blend perfectly, their notably similar tones carrying identical vibrato that combines beautifully. Their harmonies are immediately impressive, and Noah's surprising high notes convey strong emotion as she displays her extensive vocal range.
With Miley matching her green eyeshadow to the thick jungle background, she tries every technique to avoid overshadowing Noah, but viewers find it impossible to look away as she sings with ease and brilliance.
This wasn't Miley's first garden duet by far — in 2015, she performed with Joan Jett, Laura Jane Grace, Atom Williams, and Melanie, while her duet of Crowded House's 1986 song "Don't Dream It's Over" with Ariana Grande that year has exceeded 127 million YouTube views. The two later sang this same song at Ariana's One Love Manchester event in 2017, but with emotions running high during that charity concert and Ariana missing the low notes, the flawless garden version feels much more special. See it in the second video above!
Undoubtedly, the most popular performance from Miley's Backyard Sessions is her 2012 cover of godmother Dolly Parton's hit song "Jolene," now at 493 million views. Shown during Miley's first truly iconic Backyard set, the 20-year-old former Disney star set very high standards, yet continues to meet expectations with every new version. Less than two years ago, Miley's garden rendition of her 2023 #1 hit "Flowers" reached over 110 million views! Miley and Noah Cyrus have made an enchanting duet that wins hearts with its heavenly harmonies and emotional power.
Their performance in the "Backyard Sessions" proves their amazing skill and special connection. To learn more about this memorable team effort and other fascinating shows, make sure you visit the links below.
