She can sing very well and act better than Selena/other teen pop stars. I don’t love Miley and I’m not much of a fan, but she is definitely an unusually pretty girl, and it seems to me that a lot of the people who hate on her are jealous. If you don’t like Miley, then don’t like her, but don’t criticize her just ‘cuz you’re jealous.
i love Miley and she is very talented she can sing,act,dance, and play the guitar. And for all those haters out there saying she a hoe and ugly well the truth is she probably look better then all of yall so keep hating cuz haters make her famous(:

How many babies do you have? And if your “Hood” is so bad then maybe you should get a talent and work your way out! You might start by applying yourself at school so that you can leave and error free message about Miley Cyrus and not sound so stupid and uneducated! You only succeeded in making yourself sound very, very jealous of her. Get a life! Learn how to talk, spell, and write and you might make it in life. By the way, Miley pays taxes and I mean a lot of taxes which probably support your sorry butt and family in some way (any form of government assistance) so don’t grip too much!!!
You sound pretty stupid, too. Perhaps you should go to the same school you are telling Nini to go to.
