Oh, goody. . . goody! The future awaits these budding consumers! I will never feel sorry again for the parents of little girls who are willing to shell out 10 x's the real cost of a ticket to indoctrinate their daughters in vapid idolatry. Way to teach those values, folks!

I saw her on Dancing with the Stars w/her dad. I used to think he was soooo neat, but now.....
He or someone else needs to remind her she is only 14 yrs old and be the young lady she is. Someone also needs to take time to teach her and others liker her in the industry morals and values b4 it is really to late.
I'm old enough to be her grandma, and hate to see what I'm seeing happen to our youth.

In addition to protecting morals and values, how about the sanctity of the English written word? “B4” or BEFORE!!!

Hey Vocab Nazi........stick to the forum or start your own seperate one.

I took my 8 year old daughter to this concert. We laughed, clapped and danced. In our hectic busy world it is okay to enjoy pure entertainment with our childeren. Miley worked very hard to please during the show. The look on my daughters face was priceless. I did not over spend and we saved up for the event. It was something we wanted to do together. She did not ask for anything and did not care if she got a shirt or not. She loved the experience and to be entertained. It is only when we teach excess that our kids expect it. If you treat these events as very special then it will be a memory for them and not another future expectation. Our kids see and hear too much too soon. All I know is there were no exposed midriffs or cleavage in my face. No regrets for having a fun evening with an un-spoiled, lovely child.

Not unlike when some of us saw the Beatles and Elvis Presley when they came to Seattle. Always a great memory.

Just one question? Did she lipsync? I took my daughter to the Spice Girls years ago and was shocked at the lip syncing. I had to explain to her that this is suppose to be a LIVE CONCERT.

I am in sales and have been for 35 years, I love it, anytime I can get people to spend $35.00 on something that my landed cost was below $4.00 I praise their wastefullness and stupidity for supporting a lip syncing untalented totally marketed person Yee Ha keep on spending folks we love it

No, she did not lip synch. It's safe to assume she used a vocal "backing track" which is pretty standard with young stars these days. That said, you can question Miss Cyrus's talent (you need look no farther than her gene pool), but you can't question this girl's heart. You can tell that at times she struggles with the vocals and dancing, but she gives 110% on stage.

Well put J! we're all aware of the exorbinant cost of shirts/posters etc at these types of events (lord knows I paid it in my younger days) - but that takes nothing away from a kids face to see someone they truly enjoy. Leave it up to adults to criticize and talk "smack" about something they'd never be caught doing! My 7 year old daughter loves Hannah Montana, I'm indifferent. Compared to a lot of the other young entertainers out there, Hannah comes out on top for me. She's entertaining, a good role model, and she's actually got some talent. So, give it a rest - we were all kids once - we've ALL done this before. Just relax and enjoy and don't sweat the small stuff, really...what does it get you in the end?

That must have been one hell of a concert. I don't know about Eisener's accountant, but Michael Eisner hasn't been with Disney for over two years.

Eric, I enjoyed the article, got me to laugh a few times. There is nothing more annoying then thousands of screaming girls in their high pitched voices. trying to sneak in a flask, ha thats great!.

Did I say Michael Eisener? I meant Bill Gates, or Steve Jobs. Michael Jordan? Umm...whomever it is that is raking in all the cash at Disney these days. Good catch, ding. My bad. I think I was still giddy with the afterglow of the show when I wrote the blog.

I took my daughter to this concert and I thought it was GREAT! I ultimately enjoyed the crowd. To see my 12 yr old enjoying herself so much, was truly worth the $55 per ticket spent. No I wasn't one of the ones who bought the scalper tix...I waited until the night before the concert & paid retail for them. GREAT seats too! There were sooo many empty seats on the floor, in the lower levels and upper levels...because of you, some tweeny boppers didn't get to see their idol. Shame on you scalpers!

All this whining over a teeny bobber event. . .
Yet i bet eric feels the Prices, Jerseys for sale, and crowd make up of Sonics Baxkitball games are divine.

You know it's funny to me that this guy can go to a concert for young girls(when he is obviously way to old to get it) then talk about bringing in alcohol.. what a goofus. Hannah Montana is one of the few young stars that our girls can look at with out seeing half naked as ok! my daughter is 11 and we watch her together.. Miley Rocks! too bad Eric doesn't. oh and by the way, most of the parents who take their kids to a concert don't want to get drunk while with our kids...
