Just earlier today I was listening to the radio with my 8 year old daughter, as she played with her barbie dolls. When a Miley Cyrus song came on, my daughter exclaimed, “Miley is even on the radio!”. I should mention that we rarely listen to the radio outside of the car, and in the car we usually listen to a “Golden Oldies”, or “Hits of the 70s and 80s” station.

I am also, not a fan of Hannah Montana, or Miley Cyrus. I think her acting is over-rated and her singing voice is not all that. She’s also not the best looking kid on the Disney Channel. But my daughter is a huge fan. She loves her music, her videos, her TV show and anything related to Miley Cyrus/ Hannah Montanah. But why? What makes this normal looking teen such a super star?

Most young girls want to be famous…either famous singers or actress. In my experience anyway. I have 3 daughters, and 2 of them are Diva wannabees. Miley IS the average everyday normal girl, who became famous. She is every (or most) young girls dream come true.

I guess I do like Miley Cyrus a bit ;) Some of her tunes are catchy, and there could be worse people for my daughter to idolize.
