Miley Cyrus is neither one of my favorite artists nor one of my favorite people for that matter, but her career has exploded since at the age of 12 when Miley was chosen for Hannah Montana due to her energetic and lively performance. She was seen as a person who loves every minute of life. In 2006, Walt Disney Records released the Hannah Montana Soundtrack, which includes eight songs she performed as Hannah Montana. In 2007, Miley released a double album called "Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus". The first disc was the second Hannah Montana soundtrack, while the other one was her debut album. It contains ten songs, from which Miley co-wrote eight. Cyrus changed her legal name to Miley Ray Cyrus in 2008. That same year, she found herself in the midst of a controversy for posing for revealing photographs taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, which appeared in Vanity Fair magazine. The resulting criticism and media frenzy did little damage to her career, however. Her album, Breakout (2008), was a huge hit, reaching the top of the pop album charts. In her new single “Can’t Be Tamed,” Cyrus takes a new direction when she’s trying to experience a new adult life and go down a different path. But personally I can tell whether she is singing as Hannah or Miley. As Hannah Montana, her voice is higher and much livelier where as when she is Miley; her voice is more dark, evil, and raspy. I do like her music but her career has a lot of her fans questioning whether she is really true or not. I think either she stays as little miss innocent Hannah Montana or she goes off on her own as not so innocent Miley Cyrus. But she needs to stop yanking her fans around, she needs to choose now. She really can’t have the best of both worlds.
