    Miley charms with a message of friendship over fame.

The themes of this music are:   chasing your dreams, dancing, life changes, partying

Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Songs about partying are mild. There are songs about making people and relationships a priority, rather than chasing dreams of wealth and fame.

  • Role models:

    Many of the songs address the superstar Miley Cyrus image and a few songs tell listeners that the life of a famous pop star isn't what it's cracked up to be and that Cyrus doesn't automatically get everything she wants.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Hannah Montana: Vol. 3

Parents need to know that this soundtrack album to the Disney hit television series covers puppy love, partying, and priorities. Leading a double life is the premise of the TV series and usually makes for comedic moments. On the album, the idea is taken a step further so that kids can see that fame and fortune aren't enough to make a girl happy. There are only a few songs about romance on the album and these tracks stay pretty tame, covering relationship roadblocks and crushing on someone special.

    The Best Hannah Album So Far

    I don't like hannah montana but I do like this. It's more grown up than her previous albums so parents can listen to it over and over again without going mad. It has good messages and the songs are catchy. The best shes done as hannah.

    Perfect for everyone !!!!

    Love it, the kids will love it. It's peppy energy filled music will keep them entertained.Like the reviewer 'musicfan789' said supergirl is not about boosting herself.It's about how Hannah suffers with paparazzi and how she has to hide all her worries. Every song has a positive message. But mostly about the things she misses being a star and how she wished she could be normal. It's worth your money.
