I Might Even Be a Rockstar!

Ok, Ok, I will admit it. I love Hannah Montana. The girls and I were just watching her 3-D concert on the Disney Channel and they went to bed and I keep watching. Not because I haven't seen it. I saw it in the theater. Seriously. I can't help it. The show is funny. The music is catchy. She is adorable. I wish people (the media) would just leave one of the few untainted stars we have left well enough alone and let her have the five minutes of childhood she has left. Her music is positive and girl-empowering. I don't remember having someone that was so positive to listen to when I was in second grade. Cut to me, eight years old singing "like a virgin....touched for the very first time..." No lie. Now back to Hannah "everybody makes mistakes.....everybody has those days..." Which would you rather your kids be listening to? I know I am a MUCH more astute parent than my parents were. I would never have bought my kid an album entitled "Like a Virgin". No effing way. Since we are not a gospel kind of family, my kids would have to spend their childhood humming showtunes if it weren't for Hannah. Now we have a show we can watch together and music we can turn up on the radio without having to listen for the parts I would rather they not memorize. I know I can be very overprotective. I know this. It doesn't change the fact that it is about time we had someone that we can all rock out to. Long live Hannah Montana! You can laugh at me now.

I will not laugh because I completely agree! I wrote a whole post on it a couple of weeks ago. I think it's awful what "they" have done to that girl. I'm all for Olivia listening to her. We went out and got her "Breakout" or "Breakthrough" (whatever it's called) Miley CD on Tuesday & Olivia has been listening nonstop!

No laughter here. I am behind you 100%. I turn the radio off so often when we are in the car. The kids get tired of it but HEY! I'm the mom now so it's my turn to make my kids eye rolling disgusted at me.

Oh. And Taylor Swift is good too but after about the 327th time to hear Tear Drops on my Guitar, you get a little frazzled.
