miley cyrus
Do more people dislike miley cyrus than like?
I was just wondering because she "seems" popular in america, where I live , the uk, not many people seem to be that keen on her.
So my main question is how popular is she in america, and within in certain age groups do the opinions change on her?
I know this isn't a proper question, but I'm just wondering why she is so popular....

I'm 17 and think she's a terrible actor, has a weird voice, and is a sell-out. But I admire her success and some of her songs are in fact catchy. And my own experiences imply that younger girls, say 6ish to 12ish, are huge fans. Not sure why.
Oh, and I'm female.

I am pretty sure that more people dislike her than like her. I don't know why this is though

i'm 18, and i watch her show sometimes because i think it's funny & cute, and i also enjoyed the movie.
im not a big fan of her music though. and i've heard she's really stuck up and bitchy in real life, so i wouldn't in any way call her a role model and she doesnt appeal to me that way. i couldn't care less about seeing a concert, meeting her, or anything like that.
i also agree that she got a lot of her fame from her father. the younger age group & tweens are her main target audience, but other than that, she doens't appeal to too many people.

look, the biggest thing driving this is the same thing that drove the britney spears thing when I was in middle school; MARKETING. all of the old teeny bopper girls were in their late twenties, therefore unpopular, the companies like wal-mart needed a new girl for the american preteen girls to identify with and sell their merchandise, and along comes the daughter of billy ray cyrus at the right time to a kid's tv network. perfect! she can sing, dance, act, hell, she can even spur controversy with bikini shots on her freakin myspace. every time she's on the air(factor X) for whatever reason, girls in america get more attracted to her (factor Y). now you multiply X by Y and you get the demand for miley cyrus related gear (backpacks etc.) and we'll call this factor A. now, however many companies are supporting her with music, movie, and merchandise deals have the supply if things that the american twelve year old girl determines to be absolutely essential to her popularity and existence. they, huh, haha, the proverbial "They"... have the supply, and she has the means to ensure demand. its a perfect marriage of an american girl's need to fit in and be loved, and consumer capitalism. its elegant and brilliant. X by Y = A =Profit!
if you check around, I bet you won't find any deals between miley cyrus and a british company.
there's your lesson in american "drug deal" economics.

The people I know hate her. I know I sure do.
I personally don't think she has much talent, nor do I think she's attractive. She seems to come off very self-centered and obnoxious. Surely if she was normal & went to high school with me, I would've been rude to her.
She's pretty popular mainly among children & tweens but the older the ages go up, the more people seem to dislike her. It's really only children that she appeals to. She's really only popular because of her father, and she's just riding out his wave which will soon be gone.
Trust me, after Disney tells her to get the hell out, she'll have nothing.

At least in my area of the US, it's pretty much as Disconnected stated. The younger crowd of girls (and it is almost entirely a female fan/hater base, males are for the most part neutral)are very into her, but once you get to the teenage demographic there's a huge drop off in people that like her.
Her fan base is very different from that of the Jonas Brothers. The Jonas Brothers have all kinds of bizarre high school kids that want to ______ their ______s.

I've been wondering the same thing, and although I don't live in the US, here in Belgium it's strange.
Kids from ages 6-11 love her, well girls do. Every toy store has so much Hannah Montana merchandise it's horrible. But the little girls love it.
In the teenage age group, people generally hate her, with a few exceptions of people who actually like the show and her music.
Hope this helped somehow. :P
