If Miley Cyrus "Can't Stop," neither can the covers. The latest pop singer to take on the summer hit "We Can't Stop" is "Friday" songstress Rebecca Black. The stripped-down acoustic cover features Jon D playing guitar and taking his own turn on the vocals.

Black's voice is surprisingly strong in "We Can't Stop." Known for being heavily auto-tuned in her ARK Music Factory video for "Friday" (so much so that she was bullied out of school), she has clearly grown in two years. Her voice is soft and sweet, appropriate for the song and for her age.

The harmonies between Black and D are also quite striking and display an immense amount of vocal maturity.

Since Black is only 16-year-old, she switched up some of the song's more controversial lyrics. "To my homegirls here living it up, / Feeling alive and are in love, / Remember only God can judge us, / Forget the haters 'cause somebody loves ya, / Everyone acting like they know you, / So fake, acting like they so cool," she sings, swapping out references to butts, strip clubs and doing cocaine in the bathroom.

This isn't the first time Black has covered a hit song from one of pop's biggest stars. In April, she posted a cover of Rihanna's "Stay," which she recorded with the help of fellow YouTuber Dave Days.

Much like the "We Can't Stop" cover, "Stay" is an acoustic, stripped-down cover from Black and features a duet between two teens with pretty, light harmonies and guitar strumming.

Watch that cover below:

Meanwhile, Cyrus' version of "We Can't Stop" recently got a remix from "My Neck" rapper Khia.
