Miley Cyrus

Teenage sensation Myley Cyrus has come out and reportedly said that she "doesn't get" Glee. You can see the story: here.

She says, " Honestly, musicals? I just can’t... What if this was real life and I was just walking down the street on Rodeo Drive and all of a sudden I just burst into song about how much I love shoes?”

I find it rather funny for someone that's made her money from singing and a tv show that is musical saying something as inane as this. I mean how realistic is it to think that all her Hannah Montana character has to do is put on a wig and no one recognizes her? And they don't just break out spontaneously in Glee. The songs are appropriate to the story being told and are often set in a rehearsal or performance setting. What is there not to get about Glee? It's not rocket science; in fact, it's a very good show. Naturally, it's not to everyone's taste, but you would think that someone in the music industry would appreciate other people's talents. The kids on Glee are *definitely* talented.

Granted, Miley's young and when you're 17 you often speak your mind without really thinking. She's also grown up in the spotlight so almost everything she does is recorded, and who hasn't said something dumb they regret?

Unfortunately, she's developing a very bad pattern: I remember reading that she whined publically about the car her parents bought her for her 16th birthday becuase it wasn't brand new; it was used. She dissed Twilight (not that I'm a huge fan of Stephenie Meyer's writing; she's not that good) and she's apparently said something not too pleasant about the latest sensation, Justin Bieber.

Well, I'm not saying that she isn't entitled to her opinions. Of course she is. But, the same kids that watch her and like her, also like Twilight and Justin Bieber. She's going to start alienating fans if she does that. You would think someone would have spoken to her about that, as she's starting to get a reputation of being a bit of spoiled brat - deserved or not. Unfortunately, the media is always going to pick up on the worst. But, perhaps someone has warned her.

She's a Disney Channel star and she may have short shelf life if she keeps this up. Look at Hilary Duff. She hasn't done that much lately, but at least she went to Harvard (or at least was studying via correspondence). Miley, on the other hand, has said she won't go to college but focus on her career. Frankly, I think she definitely needs some more education. It might help her learn some good life skills.
