Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana is a Hit

Hannah Montana is a popular kids show on the Disney Channel. Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus' middle daughter is the star. Miley Cyrus is a good-looking young lady with a lot of talent and energy. On Fox and Friends this morning I saw Miss Cyrus for the first time. She was very articulate and entertaining. Most impressively she has her head and her heart in the right place.

Miley plays a 14-year-old teenager that is leading a dual life as typical schoolgirl, Miley Stewart and globetrotting rock star, Hannah Montana. Miley Stewart moves from Tennessee to Malibu, California in an effort to keep her rock star life hidden from her new classmates. While Hannah enjoys the perks associated with stardom, her real desire is to lead a normal teenage life. Miley's father plays her father and songwriter on the show. Do you remember Billy Ray, the one hit wonder with his Achy Breacky Heart? I didn't recognize Billy Ray at first without his mullet haircut. This is one of Miley's goals that I agree with completely. Eliminating mullets is a cause I can embrace!

The Disney show was the perfect vehicle for this budding new star. The sound track from the show hit number one on the charts a soon as it was released. It now has gone double platinum. I think it is fantastic that Disney is providing high quality entertainment for the kids. The show is well-written and fun for kids to watch. The music on the show is high-energy pop/rock dealing with more normal teenage life style issues for a change. The "Best of Both Worlds" song deals with Hannah's struggle to be a rock star while still being just a teenager. Miley vocals and the music are solid. This girl has talent.

Check out her website at the Disney Channel, Hannah Montana. The site has all the details of the show and lets you hear most of the music. The fan forum is a lot of fun to read with entries only kids could dream up. If you have pre-teens or younger teenagers, make sure they check out Hannah Montana if they haven't already.

Hopefully more new stars like Miley Cyrus will start to dominate the teen and younger music market. I have been worrying about our future generations being adversely impacted by ditzy pop stars that have problems keeping their clothes on. Wholesome family entertainment has grown old fashion. Maybe the time has come for a big Disney comeback.
