Free Music Notes for Hannah Montana Soundtrack
Free Music Review: True to form Hannah
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this sound track w/ DVD for my daughters 6th birthday. She LOVES it! I find myself dancing around to it whenever it is being played (which is alot). I think any girl who loves Hannah Montana will love this cd/dvd combo.Free Music Review: Solid pop songs that any kid would enjoy.
Hit: 3 Stars
I'm not a particularly big fan of Miley Cirus, but kids seem to love her. Even my kin have taken a liking to her. She doesn't have a spectacular voice, but I would accredit her on the fact that hers is much more impressive than many other teeny boppers of today, like Vanessa Hudgens for example. I would recommend this CD for young children who love Disney Channel or Hannah Montana, that's all folks.Free Music Review: It's a special kind of awful
Hit: 1 Stars
The reviews for this album would have you believe that the Hannah Montana soundtrack is some kind of masterpiece for the ages. 5 Stars is the highest review that you could possibly give an album, and believe it or not, that is the average rating for this particular album.
Let me give you a fair, unbiased take on the album. It's apparent that many of these reviews have been written by either very young children, or by the public relations team of the recording label that released this album. Don't allow yourself to be sucked in by these reviews. This is an irritating collection of songs that were both poorly written and performed. The arrangements are very cheesy, the songs too overproduced (likely to hide the flaws of the performers), and the album as a whole completely lacks any kind of appeal to those over the age of, say, 5. Sample lyrics: "Who said, who said I can't be Superman?". Yeah, great thought provoking stuff right there.
Miley Cyrus is the the young actress/singer behind Hannah Montana. She is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, he of the famed mullet haircut and the ever ubiquitous "Achy Breaky Heart", so clearly she has been groomed for success from a very young age. She might be receiving it, but she has done it by pushing pure, unintelligent, lowest common denominator product to the masses. The messages in the songs on the album seem to promote individuality and defiance in a way that anyone can understand, and Cyrus's vocals are basically thin and spunky. Sound familiar? That's because Disney basically just copied the Lizzie McGuire formula, and tries to present it as something new by slapping a different name on the front. It should come as no surprise, as the same hokey cheese factor that permeates all the original TV shows on the Disney Channel (such as works of art like Phil Of The Future) also runs through all the music that comes from its associated artists (see also weak albums by the likes of Jesse McCartney & Vanessa Hudgens - who said shallow bubblegum went away?). That said, the aforementioned proclamation of individuality is lost on this album's sound, as Cyrus basically alternates between sounding like Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears depending on the track.
In summary: The Hannah Montana soundtrack is basically just a whole lot of sugary, syrupy nonsense, which means that it fits in perfectly with the show that inspired it. Besides the 9 or so songs performed by Cyrus, including a duet with Dad that will surely make your gag reflex kick in, there's an abominable track by the aforemention McCartney, one from the neo-Bay City Rollers (The Click Five), and B5 desecrating the Earth Wind & Fire classic "Shining Star". I know this review won't be popular and will probably garner lots of "Not Helpful" votes, but this review was worth typing if I can enlighten some people into seeing that the Hannah Montana soundtrack is far from a masterpiece. It has even less adult appeal than the "Kidz Bop" series. Basically, I would recommend just about anything other than this. This is the kind of music that kills brain cells. In closing, the advice that I would give to Cyrus is this - when it comes to singing, follow the example of the pose on your album cover ... Music Review: Where's all the creativity gone?
Hit: 1 Stars I laugh at those who praise this for being things that it is really completely devoid of. Such as; emotion, originality, and creativity. I also laugh at those praising her lyrics. Conor Oberst was around her age when he started writing (fantastic) lyrics for Commander Venus. But no one cares. Because the markets now driven by tweenage girls who are completely immune to the emotion and sincerity put into other debut albums like the already mentioned Oberst with Bright Eyes' Lifted, Or the Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground. Or even The Arcade Fire's Funeral.
She can't sing either. Or act. If you want good acting and singing look no further than a man named Glen Hansard. Who started busking on the streets of Dublin when he was just 13. His voice really sounded as wonderful as did back then as it does now.
1/2 star for enough production for people to avoid the realizations of this albums huge pitfalls. Which is really just another reason for me to hate it that much more. It may sound terrible, but at least it sounds clean. If they would've tried to go into the gutbusting squeal of Guitar Wolf I just may have wanted to kill myself.
Free Music Review: I would give it zero
Hit: 1 Stars
I am 10 and, i know you'd think i would LOVE this cd but, I HATE it. My older sister and i got it at a music store thinking it would be fine. We were so very wrong! Hannah Montana (aka. Miley Cyrus) Has no voice! She sounds horrible! It's annoying how all her songs are always stuck in my head! I hate it! Her show is alright but, I can't believe how obsessed my friends are with her! Her pictures are all over their walls! DON'T get this cd!
