Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus (by Miley Cyrus, Pop)

common sense media says

Double CD pours out cheesy positive messages.


parents & educators say

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this double CD is chock-full of positive, self-empowering messages for tween girls, delivered with the kind of self-conscious sincerity that will irritate most music fans over the age of 10. Perfect for its target age group, it's definitely NOT for the whole family. Adults are warned to bring their own iPods to the dance party.

Positive messages: Very positive girl-power messages delivered with sledgehammer subtlety.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Not applicable.
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: Surprisingly subdued packaging, for a Disney tie-in product.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.

More on Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the self-esteem and "you can do it" messages here, delivered with the subtlety of a pick-axe. Do you think the messages are effective? Would they be more or less effective in the context of subtler, more interesting songs? What's the difference, musically, between music produced for "tweens" and music presented as art, with no special agenda?

What's the story?

What's the story?
Adorable Miley Cyrus is -- get this -- a regular school kid AND a rock star. You see, it's a secret identity thing, and none of her classmates have figured it out. Wait! That's Hannah Montana, so that means Miley Cyrus, who plays Hannah Montana, must actually have THREE identities: regular school kid, weekend-warrior rock star, and daughter of country-music one-hit wonder Billy Ray Cyrus. Yikes, it sure does get confusing! What doesn't get confusing, ever, are the steadfast good intentions dripping from every pore of HANNAH MONTANA 2/MEET MILEY CYRUS, with Miley singing her appealing little heart out on one perky "go get 'em girls" anthem after another.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Tweens who buy this product get a lot for their babysitting money: two CDs, one featuring songs from the TV show Hannah Montana; the other introducing originals billed as being by Miley herself (despite lengthy professional songwriter credits on the package). Perfect for tweens, this CD is likely to irritate anyone with more mature musical taste. Synthesized and over-processed, with a message about as subtle as a sledgehammer, there's absolutely no crossover potential here, so be sure to have your own iPod handy.

Teen Pop at its Cheesiest!!!
Clearly the work of Disney's producers. The music is annoying, poorly written, and poorly mixed (Alot of Disney songs are poorly mixed). I have found many of the lyrics have a repetitive theme of adolescent empowerment, is way too happy, and the music is very predictable, nothing will jump out at you. If you are a parent reading this, bring out your Nirvana records and some Pink Floyd, and hook up that 20 year-old Sony Walkman, you'll need it.

Miley Cyrus rocks
I like this CD but i like the Miley side more my favorite song is "See You Again" i sang it in my school talent show.There are songs that are high energy like "Start All Over" and "G.N.O(Girl's Night Out)" and some that are more ballad like "Right Here" and "I Miss You" the songs are clean 7 out of 10 songs are about love.One line about kissing "my problem isn't that is kissed you whoa whoa" in "East Northumberland High".The Hannah side is more for her younger fans The Miley side is for the older ones but i like Miley's solo album Breakout the best because it can be for teenagers too

Eh... I out grew it
I liked it when i was like, eight. It's not really for tweens or teens. It's perfect for like a six year old birthday party. I listen to more mature pusic now, and frankly, i cannot see how i could possibly like her songs.

Not appropriate for children under 13
My 8 year-old daughter loves Hannah Montana, the show, the movie, the music, etc. I bought her the H2 Cd for her birthday when it came out and was very disappointed. I expected it to be on the same level as the show.. G rated, but it has some content in it, particularly in the "Meet Miley Cyrus" Cd that is way too mature for her. By he time she's ready for the content, I'm sure she'll be over HM, since most of her fans seem to be pre middle school. There is so much in the media that encourages girls in particular to grow up too fast and am totally disappointed that HM is taking part in it. I will think twice before buying HM again. Parents should definately listen to this one before buying it for their kids.

Like it!!
Great messages all girls should follow!!

 
UH. C'MON PEOPLE. SNAP OUT OF IT.
This is NOT good music. Its sickly sweet TRASH. Just because it preaches all of these good messages doesn't by ANY means mean that miley cyrus actually does any of these things. Its not original. Its not even sung very well! There's much better music out there, you just have to break out from this Disney trance that everyone seems to be in. Also, don't think Miley isn't gonna become one of these disgraced starlets we hear so much about.

Teasing mixed with profanity mixed with sex.
"G.N.O" says "Hey, boy/don't you wish you could've been a good boy?/try to f--k another girl like me, boy!" The beginning of "Start All Over" hints that Miley Cyrus was on drugs/depressed when she wrote the song ("I have to wonder if this wave's too big to ride/Commit, commit, commit/I'll commit s--cide!/Into the land I fall, 'cause you called me out/I've lost control and there's no doubt/I'm gonna start all over!/Out of the fire, into the fire again!..."). "I Miss You" is a sad, depressing song with spontaneous profanity: "I miss you/I miss your smile/and I still s--t a tear/every once in a while...my heart can't let you go/now it's my time to go...". "We Got the Party" talks about the dark side of partying...I won't even quote the lyrics. I could go on and on for every song, but I can't make my review TOO long, so I'll just advise you NOT to buy "Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus" unless you feel in need for dumbness, stupidity, drug/alcohol references, negative messages/role models, a creepy sense of fashion/consumerism, foul language, s--cidal songs, and shocking sexual innuendo.
