ETA: This is coming from someone who isn't a Miley fan, never watched Hannah Montana and this is the first song that I've heard her sing.
Well, I love her hair. It just works on her. I think she's a beautiful girl.
I really like the song. It's definitely a "party" song so I'm not surprised at the drug references. It's not like she's the first singer to do this either. She can't always be that 12 year old girl selling herself to 7 year old Disney watchers.
I have to say, I like the video too. Yes, it's risque but it just fits with her song. It doesn't bother me and it seems that it's conveying the message that she's at that age when you just want to party with your friends. If a child is too young to be "influenced" by watching the video, they shouldn't be watching a channel like MTV to begin with, imo.
I honestly don't see her as a Britney Spears or a Lindsey Lohan. I watched an interview that she had right before they released the song on the radio. She was actually filling in for Ryan Seacrest. She seems to be a very smart girl and definitely has a path carved out for herself in the music industry and seems very eager to follow it and succeed. It doesn't seem to me that she has a drug problem but you never really know if someone does or doesn't so I won't accuse her of that until it's proven.
All in all, she seems like a young woman who is trying to find herself and enjoying life. She definitely seems like a party girl but you can be a party girl without tipping over and crossing the line in to some dark territory. Hopefully Miley will be one of the lucky ones who don't.
