Confession: I never watch the Disney Channel, but this story caught my eye. The AP is reporting Hanna Montana uses a body double.
Here's proof.
During the song on the "best of both worlds" tour, Hanna and her dancers go to one side of the stage "cover" her up .. a trap door opens... she disappears and somebody else in a wig finishes the song.
Disney admits to the old switcheroo, claiming its needed for a costume change.
For those of you who don't spend quality time with pre-teens Hanna Montana is a character played by Miley Cyrus (spawn of Billy Ray). She leads a double life on her eponymous Disney Channel show. Plot lines are based on her part-time middle school student, part-time pop star adventures.
In true sign-of-the-times fashion the Internet is blowing up over this. Fans upset they were duped, fans are supporting the move and media types are giving us just the facts.
The body double really doesn't bother me, what irks me is parents have notably paid hundreds of dollars for tickets to this show (through scalpers, and what that says about parents not saying "no" but that's another post) and there is no show.
My advice, stay home, download the latest songs on your ipod, watch the TV show but don't see her live. Because what are you buying? The right to scream with 15,000 others?
Not a concert ticket or a good experience. Its basement dress-up with better costumes.
Miley Ray Cyrus isn't to blame, she's just a prop in the entertainment game. The industry bilks billions from working folk who just want something else to do with their time than watch gas prices go up.
