The 23-year-old singer performed a sultry two-song set — Leonard Cohen’s 1988 hit, “I’m Your Man” and Patsy Lee’s female power ballad, “I’m a Woman” — with an underlying tongue-in-cheek message: Miss Miley can definitely have it both ways. The singer has been outspoken about her gender fluidity as well as a staunch supporter of LGBTQ rights, most notably with the launch of her non-profit, [Happy Hippie Foundation, which empowers queer youth](http://time.com/3850794/miley-cyrus-feminism-gay-rights-happy-hippie/). During the Cohen track, Cyrus wore a bedazzled tuxedo and top hat, a la Marlene Dietrich, but changed her tune both literally and sartorially when she ripped off her tuxedo pants and tossed her top hat to perform Lee’s “I’m a Woman” in a high-cut leotard and little else. Rudolph later joined Cyrus for rest of the “I’m a Woman” performance; you can watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4353471/miley-cyrus-sings-im-your-man-and-im-a-woman-on-maya-marty/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4353471/miley-cyrus-sings-im-your-man-and-im-a-woman-on-maya-marty/"},"headline":"Watch Miley Cyrus' Gender-Bending Performances of 'I'm Your Man' And 'I'm a Woman' On 'Maya & Marty'","datePublished":"2016-06-01T16:15:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:32:51.719Z","description":"Get you a girl who can do both","url":"https://time.com/4353471/miley-cyrus-sings-im-your-man-and-im-a-woman-on-maya-marty/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Miley Cyrus"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4353471/miley-cyrus-sings-im-your-man-and-im-a-woman-on-maya-marty/","name":"Watch Miley Cyrus' Gender-Bending Performances of 'I'm Your Man' And 'I'm a Woman' On 'Maya & Marty'"}}]}] ```
