"Nobody's Perfect" by Hannah Montana from her album "Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus"

I would like to start off by saying that Hannah Montana (AKA Miley Cyrus) is the best pop star on the face of this planet. Not only is she a fantastic role model for young girls, but she knows how to have fun, and her talent by far outweighs that of former pop stars (I won't mention any names). It may seem a little immature for me to be so impressed with Ms. Montana's skills since she is a 15 year old Disney Channel star, but I happen to find her television show hilariously amusing and her music highly motivational. Almost all of her songs are about proving to yourself that you are a great person and having fun is always a top priority. Unlike most popular culture celebrities today, Miley Cyrus is not pregnant, addicted to mind-altering substances, or out partying until she gets arrested. She is a "down-home" country girl who expresses her ideas and feelings through her music. The great thing about Miley Cyrus' television show is that she has an alter-ego of sorts when she performs as Hannah Montana, which I think is amazingly exciting. I sometimes wish I had an alter-ego. Also, she gets to work with her incredibly famous father, Billy Ray Cyrus. Now, I am not a fan of country music by any means, but when I was younger and had no say in the radio station decision in the car, I found myself jamming out to "Achy-Breaky Heart". That song was famous for a little while, but do not be so quick to judge Miley's singing ability. She is extremely talented and I would like to venture so far as to say there is no pop star at this moment in time that holds as much talent has Miley's ol' blue jeans. Sure, I used to be a fan of Britney Spears in the day, but just look at her and her little Nickelodean star sister, Jamie Lynn, now. I think I made my point. So, whether you believe that Hannah Montana is the best on the planet or not, the truth remains that she totally rocks!

Samantha, I happen to agree with everything you said. I also think that Miley Cyrus/ Hannah Montanna is a very talented singer and performer. She has good vocal quality and a natural stage presence. My favorite part about Miley Cyrus is the fact that, as you stated, she is a positive role model. She never gets into trouble and her songs have positive, uplifting messages. I would say that Miley is a “class act”. Unlike many of today’s pop stars, she dresses appropriately and has a mature attitude. She sends the right messages to young girls that are watching her every move. I would have to say, Miley rocks!
