Miley Cyrus Album: “Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus”

Who would have thought that the follow up album to the catchy but not-so-serious Hannah Montana soundtrack could be such a solid release, a solid DUAL release at that. Miley's two personas combine to deliver a power-pop fusion of rockin' tunes that span styles of pop, rock, and even a slight touch of country and reggae. Miley's raspy girl-next-door voice will certainly please Ashlee Simpson fans (if you don't believe me sample the track "As I Am"... she sounds just LIKE Ashlee), and some tracks deliver a good enough punch to draw even an Avril crowd. So what is the difference between these two personas?

Hannah Montana certainly is more teen power-pop, and Miley Cyrus has a slightly more refined, mature sound. Which is better? Both. I'll admit that I was drawn to the Hannah Montana album first, but now the "Meet Miley" album has caught my attention. Fun songs like "East Northumberland High" whose infectious chorus reminds teens that there is life after high school as Miley sings, "You're my type of guy I guess if I was stuck in East Northumberland High for the rest of my life but people change thank God I did." Miley (Destiny Hope) actually wrote most of the songs on the "Meet Miley Cyrus" CD, which is refreshing to know, and quite an accomplishment for this 14 year old. She happened to write a very notable cut, "Let's Dance," which has a Spanish-influenced vibe in its rhythm and guitar arrangements.

If you are looking for the "next Hilary Duff" look no more, yet I think Miley has more personality and spunk. This dual CD release should not be taken lightly nor seen as a Disney-star release. Miley Cyrus is the next... Miley Cyrus. Look out folks, she's here to stay, and this album proves it through and through.

W-O-W!!!!! This cd is awsome! I give it not only 5 stars...I give it 10 stars! She has such a great voice and love the upbeat songs.

My favorite songs off the album are...

Well I can't pick one...They are all great!

I have always like Billy Ray Cyrus for his soul. I loved him in Doc and in the messages the show brought. I love Some Gave All and the way BRC is so full of heart.

I don't have the Disney Channel but sometimes on Saturday mornings while I was having breakfast I'd turn on the TV and Hannah Montana would be on. I watched it because BRC was on it. I found it was pretty good.

My friend's 12 y/o daughter got her latest CD and they knew I liked BRC so they let me listen to it. At first I was totally amazed by this young girl who is still a girl, yet more mature than so many adults I know. And, then I realized the Miley is a product of her parents; who are good people; great people even. Full of heart and goals, morals and love.

And, then the more I listened to Miley the more I was so touched, to the point of goosebumps at some of her very powerful lyrics; great messages for teens, but sung with heart. The beat and music was very catchy as well.

I came on Amazon to do some research about the album and that's when I discovered she wrote most of her songs on the Meet Miley CD! Now, I'm sooo amazed and proud. Our children are the future of our country, of our planet, of our World. If more children were as deep and honest as Miley, we would have nothing to worry about.

I am a 34 y/o adult female. And, I can say I LOVE THIS CD. And, I am not embarrassed or ashamed to say this.

Miley really outdid herself this time. Combining the crucial elements of making a great cd: good lyrics, upbeat tunes, and an awesome voice, she turned Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus into a revolution. Who really doesn't like this girl's music? It is uplifting and encouraging on a bad day. This cd also show's Miley's personality, fun and caring. This cd is appropriate for all ages, though some of the content is about teen crushes, some things that parents might not wanna get their 5 year old into just yet. Overall, I give this cd a full 5 stars!

This is a young girl with quite a voice. My daughter (10) and her friends know every song by heart. Personally, I love the GNO (Girls Night Out) song best. Good Rock and Roll beat without heavy metal. Obviously Miley is a CW crossover hit as well.

Sorry gal, this girl's going to be around for a LONNNNGGGGG time. She's got talent and has everything working for her: good backing by Disney, great parents, music and entertainment contacts and simply put her TALENT. For such a young kid, she's amazingly balanced.
