Depends on what you define as talent.
There are too many subtleties to ever really make that comparison.
There's that question people often ask, which covers do you think are better than the original.
My answer is always, anything Carole King wrote for and was originally performed by someone else that she later performed and released herself. That includes Natural Woman even though no one would ever claim Carole King is in the same vocal category as Aretha. But Caroles performance is equally as soul stirring as Aretha's.
Miley is undoubtedly one of the best vocalists currently performing.
But she also can't claim to have been at the forefront of a whole new genre of music that drove massive cultural and societal change for an entire generation.
Miley has matured and what she does today showcases her talent, swinging naked from a wrecking ball, sorry, that wasn't talent, anyone could have done that.
