Hannah, Montana, Banana-Fannah...

And Miley Cyrus would NEVER have become famous if teenage boys didn't think she was hot. Period.

Period. RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Hate to burst yer bubble, Ded, but as the father of a 14-year-old son, I don't think teen-aged boys have much at all to do with Miley's "success" -- Her main fan base is pre-pubscent girls who look at Cyrus and dream of achieving similar "success" themselves. And since 9 out of every 10 pre-pubescent girls is at least as talented as Cyrus herself, it's not that far-fetched a fantasy...

Girls look to her as being hot and a role model as someone to look like. One thing I've learned about girls over the years, being hot is more important to themselves and the other girls, and they base their model of what's hot off of what boys seem to be into.

So let's discuss the one Miley Cyrus song that I can ever think of when I'm forced to... That "The Best of Both Worlds" song. Isn't that a song about her doing the whole dual personality, Miley/Hannah thing? Do you mind if I ask in what world a song about one's own TV show might be considered especially deep or thought-provoking?

Then why don't you point me to something insightful she's written?

Lol I think it was saturn that I disagreed with last time about hating Hollywood, but I do agree on this one. I don't hate her by any means, I just don't feel that she deserves praise of any kind.
But in order for saturn's theory to work, you also have to factor in having a father who wrote a popular, particularly inane country song 15-20 years ago or whenever that musical abomination first came out.

Insightful, or actually good in any other way. If you're going to make the argument Miley Cyrus is a good musician, give me a way in which she is. She's a cookie cutter pop star, nothing else. You could put virtually any teenage girl who's taken a theater class and you can get that obnoxious, hammy attitude that it takes to be on TV or singing a song. Yes, they're virtually the same thing.

How did Elvis become famous for the wrong reasons? At the very least, he had a unique style of dance which hadn't really been done before. That's with the music aside.

And KIDS didn't need to know who Billy Ray was, producers did, which adds to her general marketability. And has been stated by pretty much everyone else here, you can find a girl who can sing and act as well as Miley, or has the exact same style, in almost every high school in America, although you might need to look at high schools with 200 seniors or more... Any moderate to large high school let's say. I can think of at least 5 or 6 from my high school IMMEDIATELY. Having had to watch Hannah Montana at work before, I can honestly say they can and did the exact same spiel. In fact, if you were aware that a few weeks ago, there was a little game going on on Facebook where you'd post a picture of the celebrity you most look like, and one girl that I graduated that fits that description actually used Miley Cyrus (although this girl is like... 27-28 by now).

Anyway, I think this argument has gotten to broad for my tastes, so I'm going to get back to simply saying that she's unworthy of praise, rather than try to debate her individual merits, or lack thereof.
