"Hey" (CD single) (by Mitchel Musso, Pop)

common sense media says

Plain vanilla pop from Hannah Montana co-star.


parents & educators say

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that while nothing about this song is outright offensive, Mitchell does describe feeling "insane" without the object of his affections -- skirting the fine line between liking someone a whole lot and becoming obsessed with that person.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids

Families can talk about whether boys and girls experience romantic relationships differently. Do girls have more intense feelings than boys, or vice versa? Is it more acceptable to see a girl crying over a boy, and why (or why not)?

What's the story?

What's the story?

Miley Cyrus isn't the only Hannah Montana star with a new record: Mitchel Musso, a.k.a. Oliver Oken on the enormously popular series, has a self-titled debut album. The first single, HEY, finds Musso in the same love-lorn spot as Cyrus and a lot of her young contemporaries such as Ashley Tisdale and Miranda Cosgrove -- going through the ups and downs of swearing off a former flame whom he's not quite over: "Never been lost in anyone, it's me they want / Without you I'm insane / …Don't care enough to write you a letter / Now that I'm doing better alone."

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

On this single, Mitchell sticks with the tried-and-true musical formula that's worked so well for his Hannah Montana co-star and many other young singers. Featuring radio-friendly, synth-pop hooks and Mitchell's respectable vocals, the song will undoubtedly make it into lots of tween collections that also include Cyrus and the like. But aside from its fun, anthem-like title shout -- HEY! -- in the chorus, nothing about this song stands out enough for it to linger long in listeners' thoughts.

Another piece of passable, generic Disney teen fodder
Another single from a Disney alum (and these days, what Disney star hasn't put out a single?), this song is predictably catchy, yet forgettable. It may be that I'm just jaded from "adult" artists, but it's just nothing out of the ordinary. 3/5 stars. Other songs that are better but just as accessible and appropriate are "Make It Mine" from Jason Mraz and "Heartbeat" by Tahiti 80 (Available on Itunes and Amazon, well worth the look)

Ummm... yeah, pretty bad.
Mitchel Musso is admittedly somewhat cute, but you also have to admit he can't sing. Most Disney 'stars' can't. Miley's the only one I can think of that is gifted in music, actually. o.o This song is very repetitive. I just don't like it.

They are trying to hard to cover up his voice with the music
I think there are really no positive or negative things to say about this song. Although, I think this guy is really annoying. He can't act, and he can't sing either. The poor people who are making his songs are really trying to put a lot of music and stuff in the background so you can't hear how bad his voice is. Seriously, the first time I heard him sing I wanted to cry. It was that bad.

Cool song but i dont think its for young children
It talks about a boy liking a girl and i think that personally 2-5 year olds shouldnt be listening to songs that talk about relationships. i really like the song but if you listen to it, it talks about a relationship and about it ending. i just dont think small kids should be listening to that.

Stick to acting
he is a great actor (who needs a haircut) but singing is not his best talent. he has an okay voice but he needs to take writing classes.
