The same time last year if someone were to the say the name Hannah Montana, most people would just draw a blank. But today if someone were to say Hannah Montana, or her other persona Miley Cyrus, people would start flipping out screaming how much they love her, but why? Why does everybody love her? What is so good about her?
She is only15 years old with millions of dollars that has sold out concerts, with the tickets costing upwards of thousands of dollars. Hannah Montana, or if you prefer, Miley Cyrus, is a teen pop sensation, and her star has just begun to shine.
Students at AHS have gone nuts for this girl, and some have even professed their love for her. “I love this girl,” said senior David Waiter, “and if I ever got to meet her my dream would come true. I think she is probably the most talented, cutest, and innocent girl I have ever seen.”
It may seem odd for a high school senior to be obsessed with a 15 year-old Disney star, but Waiter likes her not only for her looks, but for her talent as well. Other AHS students may not love her music like Waiter, but they cannot resist her bubbly personality.
“She is really funny,” said senior Michelle Panlaqui, “but she cannot sing that well. She seems very down to earth and she is really adorable.” She not only sings, but she acts as well in her own Disney show Hannah Montana. This show is arguably one of the most popular shows for kids of the time, not because it is funny and entertaining but because it teaches you a lesson in every show. “It’s addicting,” said Waiter “her shows teach you a lot about growing up and how to deal with teenage dilemmas.” “I have not missed an episode yet, and I don’t plan on it.”
“Her songs make her so popular,” Panlaqui said, “and also she is a great role model to the young kids.”
Waiter was fortunate enough to have one of his dreams fulfilled, he went to a Hannah Montana concert.
“It was Christmas day and my sister gave me a big box and when I opened it I could not believe it, they were Hannah Montana tickets and I started freaking out,” said Waiter. “When I went to her concert it was one of the best nights of my life because it was so great, awesome, and a lot of fun.” Despite the high prices Waiter would love to go back again, but others are much less willing to pay.
Junior Natalie Lalande said, “The prices for the tickets are ridiculous, who would actually pay that much?”
Hysteria before the concert for tickets reached an all time high when local D.C. radio morning show Elliot in the Morning held a dare competition for the last remaining tickets. Fathers of Hannah Montana crazed girls abused and embarrased themselves to win the tickets. The winner was a father who tazed himself in a sensitive place.
Hannah Montana is also trying to take her stardom into a new media with her movie The Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus Best of Both World 3-D Concert.
“I cannot wait,” said Waiter, “this is almost a dream come true. I am going to go on opening day and I will bring my 3-D glasses with me so I can experience the movie to its fullest.”
This is one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, as showings on the premier night have been soldout for days before. This movie should spread her popularity and allow those who could not afford or manage to get their hands on tickets to experience her concert.
