Help me understand the Miley Cyrus craze PLEASE!!!

Who can understand the Pre-Teen mind? Not me, that's for sure! LOL
I am only glad that my daughter is not a fan, thank goodness!

I really don't like her. I think teens love her because of her fashion sense (?). I don't really watch the whole Hannah Montana thing and I believe there are better singers than her. Maybe Disney has marketed her very well. Who knows.

Hi my friend, I guess I am too old too because I am not a fan of hers or a fan of her father either.

i too am wondering the same thing. probably because i'm asian that is why i do not understand this western craze. she's a singer right from disney channel? i think she's being mold to be the next hilary duff. if i'll be asked to compare the two, i think i'll opt for duff. i've seen i a few videos from both, and i like hilary more.

with regard singing, i really dont know if they truly sing (or you know, just lip syncing).

It goes back a long way, Take a seat and Ill tell you,

first we had a little girl called, Elizabeth Taylor, and not forgetting that other cute little girl Julie Garland.
and to be sure we had later the all fun sweetheart GIDGET, and we cant forget the flying NUN,
Then things hotted up, Jane Fonda, Miss Lorens, Marlene, Jane Mansfield,

The three girls in Petticoat junction, and that Ginger on the Island, HUBBA< HUBBA.

And we move on to Ann Filocello (mickey mouse club) boy was she hot.
BUFFY (Sarah), and what about that hot little thing Miss Halley Mill, Gee the boys could not get enough of her.

I wonder where UGLY BETTY count in all this.

Sara Jessica, brads MRS,

Come now, They are a product they make and sell and they do well at it.

I forgot about those TWIN GIRLS from "who's the Boss", not short of a dollar those girls,

Miley also has a tv show on the Disney Channel called "Hannah Montana"
It is a show about a brother and a sister ( Miley) being raised by their father, they lost their mother.
Her real father, Billy Ray Cyrus also plays her father on the show.
She is Miley, a regular girl who goes to regular school, and only her best friend and family know that she is really the famous pop star Hannah Montana.
It is a very good show that has a great cast of characters and entertaining episodes. They always make me laugh.
So, when Miley Cyrus does a show, all the girls ( and alot of the boys) can't wait to get to see her, as they aslo see her as Hannah.
I hope this helped.

I don't really get it either. But then again, if someone starts a new hot trend, it's likely that everyone will follow, especially if they want to be recognized by their peers. Beyond peer pressure though, the media has also generated lots of hype about the matter. (Who said Disney didn't know how to make money? Hah!) I've always found her to be boring, but this isn't really any different than the way people fawn over celebrities, which I find excruciatingly banal as well. Just so happens that she's younger and appeals to a younger audience.

Well, I kinda know where your coming from. I dont have any kids yet nor in the furter do I want any. Its different no n days with the music. But, just think about it. When you were a pre teen and teenager there was a music icon that you loved or everyone was raving about and your parents were in the same position as you are now. What in the world is so interesting about the beatles or elvis or whatever you was into. Its just a cycle I dont think anyone will understand.

I don't know anything about Miley personally and I'm not really concerned about her in general However, I do listen to her music, as much as it pains me to type this. I just like her songs because there are days when I don't want to think. And her music helps me with that, lol. Plus her songs are fun to play on the guitar. So I focus more on her music not her.

My daughter just can not stand her. If a Hannah Montana commercial comes on she leaves the room or mutes the tv.
I don't understand it either. She is alright to look at but nothing special and I don't think she is that great a singer either.
Last year for Christmas I had to make sure all relatives knew of her dislike of all things Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana so she wouldn't get a gift like that.
