I've always found the hype over Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana :wink: ) quite amusing really considering that the show is absolutely appaling (Hope the younger members of the forum can forgive me :) ) but I was recently browsing through youtube when I came across some AOL music sessions that she had done. :shock: Well I have to admit, for an old bloke #-o , that I thought she was excellent.
Here are the music vids I found of the sessions...........and yep she's proved that us old'ns shouldn't be so quick to 'tut tut' when these youngsters come along :-"
I hope she continues to produce such fine music and..........well good luck to her =D>

I think Miley Cyrus gets a lot of stick these days and a lot of bad press. But I must say I do think she is actually a really good singer, she's grown so much from what she used to be. I personally love her Miley stuff more than her Hannah Montana stuff.
She's really good at singing live, I must say I was really shocked by how good she was live considering her age and the fact that some artists these days are really bad live.
Well I like her.. :wink:
Apart from her brilliant singing capabilities, she has so much charisma in her speaking voice, and really makes the part of Penny from 'Bolt' so appealing.. :wink: :D
Right on there Miley.. =D> :D/ =D>

Right on there Javey... Nailing the button to the wall! and Hammering the ball into the back of the net!
Unlike her other Disney Counterparts - Miss Hudgens for example... Miley is just like Hannah is in the TV Series...
A Positive Role Model... and that may be down to her father's constant comment "Don't do a Lindsey!"
I don't get the Hannah Montana hype or the HSM hype either. I have watched 1 episode of HM before and thought it wasn't good, however I can see why young children my like the show.
I do think Miley cyrus is ok, I think she's a good singer and I love the song she did with john Travola for Bolt - "I thought I lost you". I think she has a unique sounding voice, however I haven't bought any of her music.
I'd never seeen Hannah Montana until I saw her on the Disney channel in our Sante Fe hotel room last September. Honestly, as far as family shows go I thought it was really good. The kids liked the humour (so did I) and the plot was never above their heads.
Since then I watched all the episodes. Now that Miley Ray Cyrus is heading out into the big bad musical world under her own steam, I wish her all the best
Now as for the Jonas Brothers........ :twisted:

A lot of people will disagree with her being a positive role model, due to all the controversy that surrounds her on occasion.
I for one, think she's a great role model! and have defended her numerous times about her actions. People seem to forget that she's 16 now...and even though some do acknowledge that she's 16 they still think some of the things she does are too 'mature' for her age. Well to be honest they're probably really not, and things get blown out of proportion. I feel really sorry for Miley as she's under so much scrutiny when compared to some people her age she really is a saint. Plus the things she does I don't think are bad...and by things I mainly mean the apparently 'racy' photos of hers... :|
even when i'm not a big fan, i at least like her. Great voice imo and also her show isn't so bad imo. I like the humour in it and that they don't take themselves too seriously.
I do like Miley, I believe like everyone has said, she does get a lot of stick from the press, but unlike a lot of Disney stars, she can sing and act.
Demi Lovato is a lot like her, she is amazing live!

Demi's voice reminds me of the lead singer in Paramore :)
i love them all! whether it's demi , miley or selena.
they're all teenagers and it's fun to follow them on tv series or in real life by twitter.
the hannah montana hype with all this merch is more for smaller children.
bu i really enjoy the series :)
Well even though i'm not a fan of her at all, i do admit that she is quite a good singer, better than some of these "artists" you get in the charts these days. There was a time i thought that in 5 or 10 years time she would be all forgot about, like the old Disney stars. But now i'm thinking she could actually become bigger and better the older she gets. She's probably the most famous person for her age at the moment (can you think of any more famous 16 year olds?), which is already bigger than most stars that have came from Disney, and, after walking about the shop in Studio 1 last week, i noticed that you and get nearly anything with her "Hannah Montana" wrote on it. Miley is going to be a big(ger) star in the years to come, and i wish her all the best.
Although, when i say that, i hate all this hype about her. Everywhere you look in DLP now is either her or HSM (another strong dislike of mine). Also it seems the Miley Cyrus hype doesn't end at France either, anytime im in the shops uptown i'm 100% certain i'll see at least 5 Hannah Montana pieces of merchandise, no matter what shops i go in. I just can't stand it.
Maybe the reason i feel so negative towards it all is anytime i see something to do with Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus (especially that movie) it brings back memories of when i wasn't very happy a few months back.
Up until april I had never actually watched the show. In Denmark they syncronize it with Danish voices and that made it look even more stupid than I thought it did to begin with. I hated all the Hannah merchandise, both in DLP and other places, as well as everything that had to do with HSM. I have worked for 3½ years as a designer/editor on an online girls game, and every day they would all dissapear to go watch Hannah. I just didn't get that and thought they wee realle dense.
But then I went to DLP in april. As you know, we got sick and soent a lot of time in our room the last couple of days. So we watched the Disney channel, and decieded to give Hannah a shot, if only to laugh at how stupid it was. To our surprise it was really funny in a teenage sort of way, and we agreed that we'd been fans had it run while we were teens. Some mornings we actually had a tough time getting to the park as we had to watch the episodes before we wanted to go. We also enjoyed Wizards of Waverly Place. So now I feel completely different about it. Miley is very talented. She does overdo her acting on the show, but that's just how it is. And she has a nice voice as well as seem like a really nice and intelligent girl. So even though I'm still sick of the merchandise, I don't judge teen girls' fascination with the show anymore.
HSM on the other hand.... :shock:
to be honest she is a pretty good singer but the thing is that too many kids take her as a role model but she cant live up too it but after all she is a real person and cant be perfect

As long as she can be happy :) That's the most important thing :wink:
Thought this would be as good as topic as any to post this.
It appears now Miley Cyrus has got herself a tattoo;

Link if pic doesn't work (//http://wdwdailynews.com/2009/12/05/miley-cyrus-tattoo-pictures/)
Call me old fashioned but i personally think this won't be good for Miley. Don't get me wrong i have nothing against people getting tattoos (even if i have a disliking to them), but this really isn't sending out a good message to her audience, most of who are young. Cyrus is a rolemodel for little kids and a Disney one at that. I won't be surprised now hearing about many little girls telling their parents they want a tattoo because "Miley has one" :?
Maybe i'm just being a grumpy old man here, but that's my views on it.
On the subject of Mily Cyrus i heard another thing about her the other day. Apparently she was in a McDonalds and when a member of staff asked for her name (something to do with a feedback thing" she replied something like "Oh my god are you serious? Do you really don't know who i am!?" She appears to be getting to big for her boots..
Yeah I've seen the photos of her with the tattoo, I actually really like it.
I think kids who start to want something just because Miley Cyrus has it won't matter much, because they'll all me too young for a tattoo, their parents won't let them and by the time they're old enough they'll hopefully be mature enough to decide to either get one for personal reasons or not get one just because Miley Cyrus has one...at least I'd like to hope they'd be mature enough to think that lol
Then again I am a fan of tattoos :lol:
But I think that Miley's is rather pretty, plus its in a discreet place (unless she's half naked) which wont' be that often ...once again I'd like to hope...
EDIT - the photo had loaded for me before...but the one on her wrist is an old fake one I believe, with the initials for Justin Gaston I think and hers with the love heart, but the heart isn't seen on other photos. But she does actually have one on her ribs below her chest that says 'Just Breathe' I think...or something along those lines
Who cares if she has a tattoo? have they even confirmed wheter it is real or temporary yet? and has no one seen her brother???
Personally I think she is a good role model and doing nothing more than other "girls" her age, its just like Suri Cruz wearing high heels and lip balm to look like mummy, its what girls do! Chris' Sister was 16 and a couple of days old when she got her first tattoo, so what (I dont like/agree with it, but it was safer to let her get one than saying no and having one done by some dodgy guy on a back street, especially after her friends pierced one of their navels with a screwdriver :shock: ). The place that did Mileys wouldnt have if she didnt have parents concent, it would be so high profile they would probably have to shut down.
Thats only my 2 cents and its none of my business what parents and children decided, but I highly doubt we will see tweens with tramp stamps

The one on her wrist was confirmed as temp, but I think the one below her chest is real, there's rumours she got it for a friend who passed away 3 years ago.
I think its a really lovely thing to do plus she's 17 now, thats a year older than I was when I got my first tattoo.
And her brother Trace is beautiful with his tattoos! lol even his 3 facial ones, as I do believe he's just got a new one above his eyebrow.
They're on about getting matching ones too if I'm correct.
And eeews to the navel piercing with a screwdriver, one of my friends did something like that at primary school...but with a prefect badge lol she was only 11 when she did it...I do not advise it what so ever.
Just me then who disagrees with this? :P
Maybe i'm wrong here, but i just don't see her as a good role model to young kids. Quite the opposite. We've all heard about those photos from when she was 15 (which in my opinion are completely unacceptable from anyone let alone a Disney star) and my research tells me that in the US you must be 18 to have a tattoo, Miley is 17..
You mentioned her brother too, please correct me if i'm won't but from what i know, her brother has no partnership with the Walt Disney Company, so isn't in the media spotlight as much as his sister. We've all heard of monkey see monkey do, kids want to be just like their idols (i was the same, when i was young i used to wish i was going around Australia seeing amazing creatures like Steve Irwin), so i just fear that if Cryus carrys on with this lifestyle choice (remember, my knowledge on her is limited), then we may see more little girls wanting to go into the underage partying/clubing scene which i am 100% against.
Like i said though, i'm just being a grumpy old man here. Now if you'll excuse me, i shall return to my rocking chair and complain about how life was better 'in the good old days' ;)

Hahahaha! I love it! =D
No I do agree partially but I also don't think she should be made to live her life a certain way, I think its mainly the medias fault because if they hadn't published the paparazzi photos of Miley with the tattoo...then very few people would know.
With the 15 year old photos do you mean the Annie Leibovitz ones? for Vanity Fair I think it was...or was it Vogue lol
I really loved the ones she did, even the one where she was apparently 'naked'. There could have easily been a bra on under the sheet and she had a pair of jeans on too. It was done in good taste and was very artistic, in fact I even used it as inspiration for one of my own photoshoots.
They are beautiful and quite tasteful pictures of her I agree
Quote from: "Clarebelle"They are beautiful and quite tasteful pictures of her I agree
I completely love Annie Leibovitz's work anyway, she's got such a gift for artistic work. I think because of her reputation too that's made the photos seem less distasteful to quite a lot of people.
No i didn't mean the Vanity Fair photos, i'm on about the (well i least thought the) infamous Myspace photos of her when she was around that age (don't know what exact age). If you don't know what ones i'm on about dig up some old gossip websites, it's bound to be in a few of them.

Ooo yes I think some of those were bag when they were shown on the internet, but I also think there are plenty of girls who are that age who do similar poses, trying to act older. I'm going to sound old saying this but...I remember when I was that age (lols) there were girls doing worse than miley, but they weren't judged because they weren't famous. So in a way I think she should act somewhat according to how she wants to be perceived, she should act more aware of the fact that she's under a microscope, but then I also think she shouldn't have to act different to how she wants when its her personal life. The people I really blame are the ones that hack peoples phones and computers and get the photos simply to chip away at a person.

That's true, but i guess that's the way the world is now, the paparazzi will do almost anything for an exclusive article about someone doing something they shouldn't be doing. Celebs should be aware to this though and therefore make sure the media find out as little as possible about their private lives to avoid being in the public eye for the wrong reasons and stop topics on internet forums like this :P
Unless of course Miley is one of these celebrities who wants to always be in the media 24/7 like some celebs these days (i'm not naming names, i don't work for OK or Hello ;) )

Lol! people a lot like Katie Price...but...yeah I think Miley should be aware that the things she does can sometimes be seen publically, but then in situations where things are stollen from her personally that can't be helped. But if she were the one to post the photos then its completely her own fault. I reckon when its done in her private home etc with friends then its fine, but when its done publically or things are made public that could be deemed as bad then its not good at all, though only if she is the one thats made them public. Because in that sense she wouldn't be a very good role model at all.
Im just glad disney are not making any more of the terrible tv show they call hannah montana, fair enough she is still a musician and everything but like Aveen, I never got the fuss over her or High school musical or the Jonas Brothers..
They for me ruin disney as a whole as they take the shine off what disney was/is as they are not disney imo.
Sorry to those who disagree with what I think but I get terribly annoyed with this side of disney.
