Step one: girl with terribly trashy name (for those who don't know, Miley was born Destiny Hope) ends up on squeaky-clean Disney show.

1st, have you been watching South Park? Lol Miley(nicknamed Smiley as a child) will not have the same future for the sole reason of her father. He keeps their family together traveling on her bus. He keeps her grounded so her head doesn't get all big. He keeps her out of the tabloid spotlight, physically. He's stopped paps & taken their pics if they take pics of his daughter. Miley is a wholesome, good kid. She has a ton of success, but doesn't sleeze it up like Brit di from the very start.
Brit didn't have a solid foundation to start. She came from a bad family life

I certainly hope not. I have hope that Miley's dad will keep her reigned in better than Britney's mom; but who knows?

Like Salemskeeper said, the issue with Spears (as well as Lohan, Paris Hilton and Michael Jackson) deals with a bad foundation for a family. Not that a dysfunctional family sets you to be 100% guaranteed a messed up person, but it doesn't help the cause. As annoying as I think she is, I doubt Miley Cirus will end up on suicide watch like Spears.

Tough to lump anybody in with Britney, and I'd say Miley is leap years apart from being anywhere close to that loony world. However, she still has time and anything's possible

This is a really morbid throwdown to begin with.

i am totally with the counteragent i mean she is also like diffrent singers

i believe that miley cyrus is much more likely to fall into the footsteps of hillary duff than britney spears.

Miley's music seems to be clean-cut teen. She's reaching the tween auidence which is her key demo. She doesn't really care what people "our age" think. She seems to have a father who will not let her turn to a life like many a pop princess. It's lol this throwdown b/c I don't even like Miley Cyrus. I do respect the money she's making & hope her future is a happier ending than most.

"i believe that miley cyrus is much more likely to fall into the footsteps of hillary duff than britney spears." <--- Correct. She will lose weight she doesn't need to and fade into oblivion.

Britney Spears' parents seem to be the stereotypical 'showbiz parents', who use her for her talent; she's a mess because, IMHO, they didn't raise her to be humble. I think Billy Ray Cyrus is a much better parent than Britney's, and she'll turn out much better than the Louisiana Pop Tart.

Like to point out Mileys' show one of highest rated on Disney. The kids are lacking in positive role models & this show allows Miley to be just that. It helps her dad Billy Ray is on the show, playing her father & keeping it in line.

Better than Jaime Spears getting pregnant and getting fired from her Disney Tween show!

Apr152005_815_lg

I think it's like apples & oranges. Both can be yummy ripe pieces of fruit, but very different tastes, inside & out.

Oct192007_959_960_lg

i don't think the two are even comparable. Britney Spears is a drugged out, insane wreck who has repeatedly made idiotic choice after idiotic choice. Whereas Miley Cyrus is a confused, impressionable little girl who was very clearly forced into taking risque pictures without really knowing what she was doing or what impact it would have on her life.

Oct82004_787_lg

I agree that, for now, Miley is the new Britney (popularity-wise). I can only pray that someone will intervene with her before she is allowed to do something that there will be no coming back from. Something that will scar her as much as Britney has been screwed by her own craziness.
