Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus fiction vs reality: has your opinion changed?

[SuperMillionaire]

Britney and Lindsay were Disney idols as well though. They didn't have their show and they both tried ruining their lives. It must be something about Disney. I guess a real Disney princess is a slutty drug-addled teenager. Wow I've known a lot of Disney princesses xD

I've never followed Miley's fame, or her mis-steps, so I'm not sure what all trouble she's gotten into, other than some suggestive photos and a bong hit. Which like Ouch said, is pretty much any teenage girl, especially the popular ones. How much more popular can you get, other than famous? She's not quite as bad as the Olsen girls at least

Well, the difference between the two is that Britney has gotten her life back together, while Lindsay hasn't (yet).

It's not that she's untalented; she does have talent, because if she really was untalented, Disney would have never casted her in the first place. For one, she writes most her own songs (outside of the Hannah Montana franchise, anyway), and in addition to that, she can dance and play both guitar and piano, so she definitely is talented; you may not like the talent that she has, but don't call her untalented. 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.

I do agree that she should have named another artist instead of Jay-Z, since she has never listened to any of his songs, but I guess she named him because she wanted the line to sound adequate.

Nonetheless, you're right, and I do agree with you in that regard. Production companies do want actors/artists that are marketable, but still, don't say that she's untalented just because you don't like the kind of talent that she has.
