Miley Cyrus Says, "Wake Up America"

Tween-pop phenom Miley Cyrus (non de plume Hannah Montana) is best known for jingle-jam ballads, bare-back photo shoots and banking an income of $18.2 million; but there's more to Miley than hair extensions and "haranguing life's cruelest inequities"

Read Lyrics . . .

'Every week's the same Stuck in school's so lame My parents say that I'm lazy Getting up at 8 a.m.'s crazy Tired of bein' told what to do So unfair, so uncool.

(source: Entertainment Weekly Music Review, Chris Willman)

Miley's recently released namesake album, "Breakout," breaks the sugar mold with the synthesized call to environmental action, "Wake up America." The song is an eco-anthem ode to mother earth. Reductive, yet rousing--complete with a cheerleader-chant chorus and age-appropriate lyrics, "Wake Up! It's not a fire drill!" we can't help but listen.

Yes, Miley's libretto is a far cry from Dylan, Mccartney and Townshend's poetic genius, but lets give this fifteen year old some props. It is refreshing to hear a young person tout an eco-message. Moreover, Miley's influence is massive--and not to be undermined. Hopefully "Wake up America," will incite tweens to environmental action as Miley's sheer presence incites ear-piercing hysteria.

I looked up Miley on YouTube to see what the fuss is all about. It's not even rock - just more disposable manufactured pop. I don't see what's so great about her. Very disappointed. Just another Britney for the tabloids to cover.

What about the plastic wasted in producing this so-called album?

Open wide, America! Another mediocre talent is being shoved down your throats!

How can you say that? Her dad did "achy breaky heart".............oh yeah.......you may be on to something there.

Reminds me of the joke about two condemned men. The executioner says to the first guy "what's your last wish". The guy replies "I just want to hear achy breaky heart one more time".

The second guy says "I want to go first"...........

Should be a hit.

Because most environmentalists I've met, seem to have the mentality of fifteen year old girls.

[KillTheMessenger]

That must have been your lamest attempt at trolling ever. Are you getting desperate?

:-)

[TimmySlagle]

So who do you like better,

Miley Cyrus, or the Jonas Brothers?

Hey, it's you again! The liar! What new lies do you have for us today?

This guy, for those who don't know, wrote on another post that he HATES scumbag hippies and everything associated with him. But then later on to back up a point he was making he claimed he'd been to Bonaroo, a VERY expensive 4 day hippie festival!! This dude can't even lie effectively ON THE INTERNET, which is probably the easiest thing in the world to do. He didn't even bother to look up what Bonaroo WAS before he lied about it!!

[TimmySlagle]

". He didn't even bother to look up what Bonaroo WAS"

Didn't have to. I was there in 2007.

Dove down to Tennessee.

[JimR]

So if you attend Bonnaroo, you are automatically a hippie?
