Miley Cyrus
Biography
Young Miley Cyrus became an overnight sensation in 2006 as the star of the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana, but fortunately her family has had some experience with that sort of thing -- her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, went from obscurity to stardom in a few short months when the song "Achy Breaky Heart" hit the charts in 1992. The success of "Achy Breaky Heart" was hardly the only memorable event for Billy Ray that year -- on November 23, 1992, he and his wife welcomed their daughter Destiny Hope Cyrus into the world. Destiny's cheerful disposition as a child earned her the nickname Smiley, which stuck when it was shortened to Miley. Miley's career as a professional actress began in 2003, when she appeared in an episode of the television series Doc, which starred her father; the same year, she landed a small role in the Tim Burton film Big Fish.
Miley developed an interest in music early on, writing songs and learning to sing while still a preteen, and in 2005 she landed a role that allowed her to put her skills in acting and music to work. Miley was cast in the title role of Hannah Montana, in which she played a teenage girl leading a double life -- by day, she's Miley Stewart, an ordinary kid dealing with school, her friends, her siblings, and all the other foibles of life for a 14-year-old, while at night she dons a wig and becomes Hannah Montana, a multi-platinum pop star whose career is guided by her dad, Robby Stewart, a successful songwriter. However, Miley's friends don't know she's also Hannah, and keeping this a secret is no simple matter. Debuting in March 2006, Hannah Montana became an immediate success with young viewers, and in October, a soundtrack CD was released, featuring Miley singing eight songs from the show along with five related tracks, including a duet between Miley and her father, Billy Ray, on "I Learned from You."
That fall, Miley hit the road, wowing audiences as the opening act for another Disney-spawned pop act, the Cheetah Girls, and in March 2007, the Hannah Montana album was reissued in a special edition featuring a bonus DVD, not long after the show's theme song, "The Best of Both Worlds," was released as a single. A second Hannah Montana album, Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus, was released in summer 2007. That fall, Cyrus embarked on the Best of Both Worlds tour, which stretched into early 2008 and was edited into The Best of Both Worlds Concert film, which was released that spring. By then Cyrus was busy recording her first full-fledged album as herself, Breakout, as well as shooting Hannah Montana: The Movie, which was slated for release in 2009. Breakout arrived in summer 2008. ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide

I don't rally care, now! She's capitilizing ! ! !

Mr. Deist is admittedly, not overly-inter e s t e d . I used to read books like that in middle school and I outgrew them quickly.
|
||
Interesting. . . . . . .
Hey! You're capitalizing ! ! ! ! |
||
I like it because it talks about what I don't even get...
and it's controversia l with radical Christians against it. lol ^_^ |
||
The Shack is about a man named Mack, whose daughter was possibly murdered in an abandoned shack, and how he tries to overcome his grief. A few years later, a note tells him to go back to the shack for the weekend to reface his nightmare. But the letter was from "Papa", the way Mack's wife calls God.
I'm not a typical "God will never leave you" sort of story, but it deals with where he/she/it is when one is suffering. Mr. Deist might not like it. lol XD |
||
I have one, too.
Yeah! It sounds....in t e r e s t i n g . . . . . . |
||
if he/she is asking me, have have none. :)
the book I'm reading is called The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. it's pretty deep, but good so far. it's pretty interesting. |
||
once you get a hold of it, let me know how it is! I'm busy reading a book my parents want me to finish up...
|
||
Aw, there's this book I really want to read called Don't Think of an Elephant. It's all about how the media manipulates the thoughts of the masses.
I like the title. :) |
||
I find it ironic how many people claim to be a part of a religion and hold the basic morals of purity but they follow the media and the views of liking such crap. they don't even say "I'm sorry"... proof of hypocrisy...
|
||
She really doesn't have a good voice.......
That video..... WTF! Why? What the hell is wrong with Miley and why does America love people like her? I think moral integrity is disintegrati n g . . . . |
||
like everyone says she sux...
well can't blame ya'll. But sometimes she really takes my breath away for 16. That song was really bad tho. |
||
God, no wonder the media sucks....
|
||
Because the f**king media has let others in previous years get away with that bullshit...a n d Destiny thinks she can ride the same boat as her predecessors did.
|
||
it's official... I am lucky my fav singer might be out of his mind, but he's not purposefully being a freaking sexual icon in the music world... *sigh* why do people think that that crap will grant them success in a package? -_-
|
||
It really looks like underwear.
|
||
I have no freaking clue... @.@
|
||
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! THAT IS THE SHORTEST PAIR OF SHORTS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
(Is that her underwear or shorts?!?!?) |

hey!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
|
||
Wow, I haven't been here for a long time. I guess I kinda missed a lot of stuff, huh??? lol
|
||
I know! Stardust is AWESOME!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I don't really like Michelle Pfeiifer, but she was very good in this movie.
|
||
I found Stardust to be a gem. I have gotten so tired of fantasy movies since either they are too long and boring (Lord of the Rings) or too cheesy (Enchanted). Stardust had a decent plot, plus it was funny.
I saw that video. first off: is she wearing spandex shorts or underwear!? (I thought girls in my school looked like sluts...). second: wtf was with that move?? thank GOD I gave up on pop music before it got this nasty! |

Wow.. thats.. skanky... |
||
Haven't seen either...... . . . . . I'm not really a country fan, but it's not hard to be better than Miley Cyrus, so I guess I agree about Lyle Lovett.
Slugbutter, I agree on GNR. Joan Jett is awesome though, and Pat Benatar had some good songs. I don't think the latter is really your kind of music though. |
||
BTW, Stardust is an awesome movie. You guys should rent it.
|
||
Well, the are starting to put weird stuff into her songs. I know they already ahve, but now she's starting to cuss all the time in her songs. At my school, there's a magazine in which there was an article ALL about Miley. Did she seriously win a trophy for her movie?!? Stardust should have won that!!!!
|
||
Agreed Laura...I think the only reason she does it is because she gets away with it, and all these little tweenie girls that listen to her are very easily brainwashed into liking her, and they beg mommy and daddy endlessly until they fork our their money for her s**tty a** albums. It's like Disney has effectively created mind-control devices for these extremely weak-minded children, and it's making them MILLIONS.
And P.P., I still think of you whenever I hear ol' Lyle. He's awesome for sure! |
