Miley Cyrus, hugely successful star of “Hannah Montana,” whined to the Today show that “my mistakes are kind of a little bit harder because they are in front of millions and millions of people.”
The 16-year-old was likley referring to the brouhaha that erupted over her disrobing for photographer Annie Leibovitz in Vanity Fair in 2008. Miley has also sent out racy photos of herself to friends via her cell phone, which leaked onto the Internet.
Despite her growing pains in the public eye, Cyrus sees a silver lining.
“It does s–k to have to go through that. But also it makes you want to try harder the next time when I know that little girls look at me and say I’m their hero,” said Cyrus during a break in her four song live set on Friday’s Today show.
But her role model status hasn’t stopped Disney’s reigning queen from stirring up controversy.
Cyrus’s latest scandal-ette occurred when she performed her new hit “Party in the USA,” during which critics accused her of simulating pole dancing

Born November 23rd, 1992, Destiny Hope Cyrus has already lived a life that almost every teenage girl would dream to have. She has had her high points. Being the face of Hannah Montana, ranking #29 on Forbes Most Influential People in the World list, and dating a Jo-bro, to name a few. There have also been her low points, such as her graphic pictures taken with her dad for Vanity Fair.
Cyrus is a talented singer, author, songwriter, musician, and actress. A Renaissance woman at 16: not too shabby. She has been in numerous movies including High School Musical 2 and Hannah Montana, the movie. Also, she has been in a variety of television shows including; Hannah Montana and the Disney Channel Games. Miley has received many awards for her talents that include; Teen Choice Awards, Kid’s Choice Awards, and MTV movie awards. All in all, her career has been amazing: this young girl has already accomplished more than most entertainers will in a lifetime.
Even though Miley is an amazing artist, (who is also quite good looking) somehow people still find ways to rag on her. Some say she is too sexual or her music makes them want to scream, others simply state that she is ugly. Newsday.com stated that Miley was, “…a pole-dancing performance… (that) sent the wrong message to her tween-age fans.” It’s quite the contrary though; she is not to sexual for her audience: she is just having fun on stage: what is so bad about that? Why do people not like her voice, I mean there is even an “I Hate Miley Cyrus” fan club on YouTube with over 23,000 fans. Her music, people say, makes them want to scream. But people ignore the fact that her voice is one of the best today, its not synchronized like almost every other artist, but it’s the real deal. Just like the “I Hate Miley Cyrus” fan club on YouTube, there is another video called “Miley Cyrus is Ugly”, which is a total lie. Cyrus is not ugly, her body physique is fine the way it is, despite what people may say, it’s great the way it is.
So to all you Miley Cyrus haters, stop looking at her with your shallow narrow minded views, which are completely subjective, and start taking the objective view of her, which is full of talent, beauty, and someone I think of as the epitome of inspiring.
