I know plenty of teenagers who are devotees to Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. What is the opinion of you guys on this debate forum about Hannah?

caphis · Apr 23, 2008, 04:44 pm

I'm not sure what there is to debate about her. Personally, I think the Hannah/Miley crap is just silly. Then again, I'm not a teenage girl.

Having seen the show a time or two, though, I can safely say that Miley Cyrus has one of -the- most irritating speaking voices. It's as if she's a 90 year old woman with bad allergies who's been smoking all of her life in disguise. I don't know what kind of technical magic is involved in making her sound tolerable when singing, but kudos to that tech staff.

She, like most teenage singing starlets these days, will end up being just a fad, and I predict her 15 minutes of fame are close to running out.

I had no idea who she was, until I looked her up for this topic. Now, I'm sorry I know. That being said, I proclaim 2010 at the Decade of Miley Cyrus. I can't wait until 2020 when she shaves her head.

I was going to post Meh... Another child star that may or may not crash and burn. I'm not a teen and don't follow Hollywood hype.

I asked my 10 year old his opinion:

wow. I had no idea that there was such a disliking. All the teenagers in my neighborhood won't shut up about her. I don't see it, but I thought she must be something special.

Who are these people?

Anmon · Apr 23, 2008, 06:18 pm

Shes a great kid, and her old man Billy Ray is a leg (aussie for legend just so theres no confusion)

christianmathew · Apr 23, 2008, 06:39 pm

Matt w,
Hannah Montana is a pop star/actress who seems to be popular with teenagers.

Her dad is the one who sings "don't break my heart, my achy breaky heart."

I'm not really familiar with her, but she seems okay.

HelioPrime · Apr 23, 2008, 08:48 pm

She's the new role model, but a far better one than Brittany.

The worst Hannah has done is get in a Land Rover without a seatbelt. No implants, sex tapes, binge drinking, or drug abuse.

If your kid loves her be glad. She might be the most appropriate pop star in awhile.

Give her time, the American media will do what they do best, which is build someone right up, then as soon as they slip, tear them completely down.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

In the interest of fair portrayal, few pop stars are getting implants, making sex tapes, binge drinking, or abusing drugs at 15, either. Britney certainly wasn't until much later in her career.

I though hannah montana was more an idol for pre-teens then teens..

kathrynbp · Apr 24, 2008, 01:42 am

I personally feel that Miley Cyrus is a great role model to all young people. Atleast she isn't shaving her head or being a complete scare like Britney Spears, on the other hand. She has the fame and holds herself with her high character. I mean really, how many 15 year olds do you all know that makes 6 digits for writing a book about themselves? Not any I know! Seems to me she's on a role and can achieve anything she wants! I sure think she's a great influence to have other publics set their goals as high as she does!

christianmathew · Apr 24, 2008, 09:58 am

Hannah does seem like one of the better, safer stars. Though it is a little young in her career to say anything definite...

It's from the movie RoboCop. There is TV show that the people watch in the movie. The show's name is It's Not My Problem!, which is a nod to the films theme of greed and personal satisfaction. The fictional star is Bixby Snyder, who is somewhat reminiscent of Benny Hill. His catchphrases is "I'd buy that for a dollar" and when he says it, he's flanked by two hot chicks with their boobs in his face. So, I think this catchphrase is fitting commentary on Hanna Bananna Montana.

christianmathew · Apr 24, 2008, 07:31 pm

young people, teenagers, preteenagers, there all similar enough.

Oh, and Anmon, I didn't know those either, because I didn't see robocop, but I get it now. Just infer from what you think she means I guess.

JaneDoe321 · Apr 24, 2008, 09:14 pm

They're not even remotely similar when it comes to marketing and spending habits.
