Parents need to know that Miley's sound and lyrics are a teensy, tiny bit more mature than the pure pop of Hannah Montana alter ego. She does talk about kissing and declares "school is lame" and "we're gonna have some fun/gonna lose control," but everything about this album stays fine for her tween fans.
Positive messages:Song "Breakout" has some teen-typical lyrics about school: "stuck in school so lame/my parents say that I'm lazy/gettin' up at eight is crazy/tired of being told what to do...we're gonna have some fun/gonna lose control/feels so good to let go, oh." She sings about a break-up with a bit of anger as she describes some things she hates about a guy. She also talks about what she likes about him. "Wake Up America" gives positive message to tweens to do their part: "We're all in this together/It's a home so let's take care of it...Everything you do matters in some way." Bonus track's lyrics might be a bit possessive: "I'm gonna get you no matter what they say/I always get my way...I'm never gonna quit it."
i think that this song is great it tells that girls my age start to like guys really soon and then you start feeling all these diferent things like i love i hate you it really normal so this for the girls so i can even relate to it and many others girls can to..
I agree we need to be loosened up, but not go crazy with hate. I really dont like the song though, its just not my favorite, no reason besides its tune didnt work with me. I liked some things, but most other things no. I aint a hater, just sayin' dont get all up in my grill..
Sure, it talks about love and stuff, but no strong language or the s-word (sorry I don't like that word). I think it's fine for most kids 8 and up. The messages are postitive, it's just a fun peppy album mostly.
I Like This CD Quite A Bit. There Are A Couple iffy things in here for 8-year-olds, for example, In the lyrics for "Simple Song" it reads: "I Swear Sometimes, I can't Tell, Which Way Is Up, Which Way is He__" but in the actual song it says "down".And, in the song "Breakout Its Says: "Were Gonna Breakout/Let The Party/ Start/Were Gonna Stay Out/ Gonna Break Some Hearts?" and, it also Makes It Sound Like it's Okay To Go Out And Break Rules. But after All Of This I Would Still Consider it(Barely) Appropriate For Kids Age 8+
miley cyrus is so talented i love her so much my 11 year old daughter is obsessed with this album i think it's perfectly appropriate i love it so much and i think every girl should listen to it
Miley is amazing, and so is this album. As soon as I woke up on July 22, I knew exactly what I wanted to do: wish Selena Gomez a happy 16 Birthday and buy this CD. But I had to wait until yesterday. From yesterday to now, I have been listening to it like crazy! In the car, on iTunes, and on my iPod. This is truly my favorite album in the world!!
This is a great CD. My 9 year old daughter bought it with her own $$ and she was so excited. When I got home yesterday we sat on her bed together and listened. It was great to hear such a phenomenal version of the Cindy Lauper classic. The other songs are fun and less "bubble gum" than the Hannah Montana music. As an adult I like the rock side of Miley and wish her a long career.
Well, my review for this is a little late. Now Miley Cyrus has already come out with the racy new Can't Be Tamed video. So if you're a parent and thinking about buying your kids Miley Cyrus cds, I'd say "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" Miley Cyrus has become a horrible role model. This cd is sort of the turning point in her music where she starts to become more rebellious, for example lyrics like "stuck in school so lame" School is good for you kids, stay in school! Thanks a lot Miley. >:(
Miley Cyrus? what happened what made you change? you used to be my role model but now I try my best not to be like you. CHANGE! BE A LITTLE GIRLS ROLE MODEL AGAIN! PLEASE!
pyesinc- ok, shes NOT A stripper, she was on top of AN ICE CREAM CART!!!!!!! and her parents werent even there when she posed for vanity fair, SHE WAS TALKED INTO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE WORST WORD SHE SAYS IN IT IS HATE!!!! ITS NOT LIKE SHE CUSSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is a GREAT singer! MILEY CYRUS ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had been waiting for a couple months for this cd. so i bought the day it came out. i'm a huge miley fan, so my expectations were high for this album based on some of the older miley/hannah songs. i was in no way disapointed. i absolutely love this album! Miley is breaking out on this album without hannah montana on this cd, yet it is still appropriate for miley's younger fans. but i think that teens will still like this cd because it talks about stuff that teens go through, like a break up or wanting to hang out with your friends and dance. it has a lot of upbeat dance tunes like fly on the wall and breakout. but it has a few rock songs as well as some slower songs too. so far this is my favorite album of 2008. people should definately buy this cd because you wont be disapointed. i know i wasnt! Fave songs: bottom of the ocean, 7 things, and fly on the wall.
