Miranda was worried that once she completed her first professional gig as a VJ after graduating Rock Star School, she might have a hard time finding something new. She shouldn’t have worried. The phone was already ringing before the last episode aired. Now she is proudly and humbly premiering her brand new series, “Miranda’s Tribute Band Show.” In each episode she will form a tribute band, with the original band, and perform one of their classics.
Today’s lucky original band is none other than himself, Elvis Costello and his group the Imposters, performing one of his great songs, “Magnificent Hurt.”
Being a huge fan of Rammstein, Miranda couldn’t be more excited about joining them in their powerful hit, “Du Hast.” This is right in her sweet spot.
Miranda joins the awesome Led Zeppelin on their rock and roll classic, “Stairway To Heaven.” There’s a reason this song sits on top of a lot of ‘best rock songs of all time’ lists. It’s because it’s great.
On today’s very special episode, we get a brand new original song by Miranda. It’s a spiritual follow up to her classic, “I Used To Be Your Stalker.”
Friend of the project, Van “The Man” Morrison, also known as Paladin Van, is an amazing talent. Few songs match the power he brings to “Caravan.” He’s touring Europe right now and will be coming to the US soon. Here’s his schedule, in case you want to do yourself a favor.
Miranda has always had a special place in her heart for the group R.E.M. It’s a real treat for her to jump in on their classic song, “Imitation Of Life.”
Thirty Seconds To Mars has some really great songs. One of them is “This Is War.” Miranda proudly joins the group in performing this powerful tune. It’s got a message, but don’t let that ruin your enjoyment.
That’s right, fans. Miranda the Mermaid is finally doing the long clamored for, Elvis Costello classic, “New Amsterdam.” It doesn’t disappoint.
Miranda interrupts this regularly scheduled show to present a brand new original tune … “Rageaholic.” You’re welcome.
“I Will” is one of the prettiest songs by The Beatles. The writing is credited to John Lennon and Paul McCartney and it was featured on their classic White Album.

Elvis Costello is surprisingly political. People can’t always figure out what he’s trying to say but “Blood And Hot Sauce” is one of those subtle songs that clearly has a message. Something political.
