There is no doubt that Miley Cyrus is all grown up and ready to leave Hannah Montana behind and spread her wings into more grown-up music. Various social networks have labeled her the redneck version of Britney Spears, a trashy no-talent tramp, and, worse, a future adult porn star. Though her latest YouTube
video is provocative, I’ve seen worse. Miley Cyrus has blossomed into a super-sexy pop star with a wholesome country girl edge, and some people can’t handle that. Personally, I believe she has the talent to become a success in the pop music business if her latest CD, Can’t Be Tamed, is any indication.
With songs like “Liberty Walk” and “Can’t Be Tamed,” Miley asserts her independence with a hefty dose of teen rebellion. She’s exploring her boundaries, and I think she’s smart enough to know what works and what doesn’t. If she plays her cards right and keeps her head on straight, she could be the next Madonna with a long and illustrious career.
It seems Ms. Cyrus decided to include a little bit of everything on her latest album, from the dance tune “Who Owns My Heart” to the techno sounding “Permanent December.” My favorite tune off the CD, “Two More Lonely People,” is a rocking love song that I enjoy singing along with. I also like the haunting sound of “My Heart Beats for Love.”
Though I like Poison’s “Every Rose Has its Thorn” better than Miley’s version, it’s still not a half bad remake of the ‘80s ballad. In two more ballads, “Stay” and “Forgiveness and Love,” she brings out her softer side.
I don’t listen to teen pop music often—it’s a little too young for a person my age—but I still find that I enjoy it every now and then. And though Miley Cyrus’s Can’t Be Tamed has an adult edge to it, with more grown-up lyrics, the music and beat is still all teen. It appeals to my inner teen, so I plan on listening to this CD more than once.
