Whether you like her or not, she does have talent. But this is just stating the facts; this isn't an opinion, because I'm thinking through the eyes of the Disney executives who do the casting.
I would argue that the songs she writes are juvenile and poorly written anyway. Did you see that interview after her "Party in the USA" song in which she couldn't name a single Jay-Z song? I thought that was supposed to be her ?

At any rate, I think it's far more likely that she was cast by Disney not because she had talent but because she was marketable. There are plenty of talented people out there, and if talent was the only thing that qualified you for a Disney TV show, there wouldn't be nearly as many starving artists. But go ahead and ignore my rampant cynicism, if you like.
