Miley Cyrus to quit Disney's Hannah Montana

[KatMark]

I have never liked Miley Cyrus. I think she is very full of herself and too "rough around the edges" for me. She's making a big mistake losing that pricey of a contract. One or two of her songs might be catchy, but her voice is just awful.

I totally agree with you.

Oh, you mean like Amy Winehouse?

Slight difference in age. Whinehouse is 27!

Has there been a Disney teen star who's had a great career post-Disney without having a mega-meltdown?

Um... Annette Funicello or Hayley Mills, maybe? I think the boys from HSM might be ok, too. Zac Efron has done some decent work, and Corbin Bleu is performing in In the Heights on Broadway.

I can also appreciate that you sort of age out of the Disney system. There comes a point at which you just don't fit what they're looking for. Ok, so she could conceivably do Hannah for another year or so, but I can't see the "double life" working for a college student, kwim? At any rate, I hope Miley has a better support system than the others you mentioned, and can keep her head on straight.

Justin Timberlake
and much earlier... Kurt Russell

Nikki, you are harsh.

That's my Nikkibell.

Whilst I was never a fan I know my troops have in their early days enjoyed both her show and her music.

Disney as they have with many other young starlets have used every opportunity to capitalise on the franchise.

I am sure it comes as no surprise that it is time to move on. For some time Selena Gomez has been give lots of opportunity to be the next big thing

Coming from a musical family may help Miley make the transition better than most

I was just about to say! 10 years is a long time when you are 17!

Even then Amy Winehouse is not considered a role model- everyone knows she is a 'how not to', who just has talent to keep her going. As soon as she started acting inappropriately she got a lot of bad press!

I just don't like the fact Miley makes it ok for young girls to dress a certain way. Children don't have enough time where they are allowed to be children IMHO.

Is it me or does she not sound like she's smoked 8 pack of cigarettes a day since she was 5?
Im really not sad to see the show go. Its time. The show has "jumped the shark" and its time for something new.

My thoughts exactly!!!

I don't think it's Miley that makes it okay for young girls to dress that way. I think it's the parents who purchase the clothes who make it okay.

No talent and lately has copped a real attitude. She should be appreciative of what Disney has given her - a career with tons of $.

I agree parents should take a large part of the responsibility, but I also think role models are important, especially for younger girls.

I have never seen an episode of Hannah Montana. However I really do love some of Miley's songs and enjoy her voice. She was on the view last week she talked about the end of hannah montana. I didn't take it that she was quitting but that the show had run it's course.

I agree and alot of young girls did look to her as a role model. My niece LOVED Hannah/Miley, I was all caught up in that "get a concert ticket" mess. My niece is now 14 and can't stand Miley Cyrus, she says she gross. I just thought she grew out of Hannah, but she says she really doesn't like her now because of her new attitude. I read an interview with Miley and they asked her about something, I can't remember what exactly, maybe the pole dancing thing and she said "Dude, I can't parent your children, if you don't like it change the channel."
