It is pure bubblegum pop. It’s not too offensive nor is it too risque for the younger crowd. It’s also easily digestable for parents of children enthralled with Miley Cyrus’ portrayal of Montana.
Despite being rather fluffy lyric-wise, these songs still manage to be better that pretty much all of today’s reigning pop princesses. Cyrus’ vocals are much better than the likes of Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavigne. She also seems like an altogether nicer person than either of them.
Her father deserves respect, who real fans of country music know spent many, many years trying to make it before hitting with “Achy Breaky Heart.” The guy isn’t as cheesy as you’d think, and is actually a truer country artist than most of today’s mainstream stars like Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. It appears that he and his wife are taking the right steps to prevent their daughter from turning into a teenage burn-out queen like Britney Spears or so many other teen stars who couldn’t handle being on top.
Highlights of the album include the show’s theme, “Best Of Both Worlds,” “Who Said,” and “This Is The Life.” A few of the songs are from other artists and other than the Click Five’s “Pop Princess,” they are a definite step down from the pop quality of Cyrus’ tracks.
Overall, it must be said that any person who really enjoys pop music will find that this is one of the better albums out there. It also looks as if many of its songs will have a longer shelf life than many other pop songs that are currently out there. Definitely buy this if you have a daughter between the ages of six and twelve. It’s great music for them to listen to.
