Hannah Montana Sucks,Top Teen Pop Stars and Free Music
March 24th, 2008 by KarenOk, we realize that little kids typically have pretty poor judgment when it comes to music. Actually, the little tykes have pretty poor judgment when it comes to most things—that’s why they enjoy McDonald’s so much.
Whether you grew up with the Partridge Family and Brady Bunch, Chipmunk Punk and New Kids on the Block or NSync and Britney Spears, odds are realize that most of the music you liked as a kid was pretty terrible.
However, we’re pretty sure that Hannah Montana is the creepiest kids music star ever.
Seriously, have you see this girl? She’s supposedly 15 years old, but the bags under her eyes make her look twice as old, and her Marlboro voice doesn’t help matters.
Everything she does causes a riot—whether it’s opening an Imax movie or unveiling her new super-creepy wax figure (creepy photo here).
We don’t get it.
But then again, we don’t understand the appeal of Webkinz, Elmo, Mountain Dew or Harry Potter either.
In honor of our tween-pop Jekyll and Hyde, aka, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, we’re looking back at some other teen pop stars, some good, some bad. Leave a comment and let us know which ones you love or hate.
Top Teen Pop Stars
Tiffany—“I Think We’re Alone Now”
If you remember the ‘80s then you probably remember mall pop star Tiffany. Two of her biggest hits were covers of oldies. “I Think We’re Alone Now” by Tommy James and the Shondells, and “I Saw Him Standing There,” a version of the Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There.” In more recent years, Tiffany has tried to revitalize her career by appearing on TV talent shows and posing for Playboy.
Debbie Gibson—“Only in My Dreams”
And if you had a Tiffany poster on your bedroom wall, odds are this one was nearby.After she outgrew her teen-pop phase, Gibson changed her name to Deborah and went on to work on Broadway.
Madonna—“Hung Up”
Madonna wasn’t a teenager when she became famous, but her music was certainly the prototype for acts from Tiffany to Britney Spears.
Avril Lavigne—“Complicated”
Before she was a bratty young lady trying to steal your boyfriend, she was a snotty kid wearing too much eyeliner and singing pop songs about skaters and ballerinas.
Britney Spears—“Baby One More Time”
Before she grew up into a trouble young adult, Spears was a pop idol for millions of little girls thanks to songs like this.
Christina Aguilera—“Genie in a Bottle”
She’s almost as creepy as Montana. With pounds of make-up and gallons of bleach, this popstar makes everyday seem like Halloween, in a bad way.
Hilary Duff—“So Yesterday”
Once the star of Lizzie McGuire, the Disney princess had a successful recording career thanks to her sugary pop sound. Although her unlikely romance with Good Charlotte pop-punk star Joel Madden ended, her career remained strong, although she’s been known more for her dating habits than her music of late.
Lindsay Lohan—“First” (video)
Before she became a familiar face in rehab and tabloids, Lohan was a promising actress that dabbled in teen pop (and she sold millions of albums).

Were these teen pop stars better than Hannah Montana? Leave comment and let us know what you think!

I SOOOO agree. It’s the hideous voice and make up. She’s supposed to be a “good” example because so many little girls look up to her, but have you seen her music videos. Please, they remind my of something you can catch at a bar. And her clothes at the awards ceremony were, like, gross. Those clothes were for grown up girls, not girls who still believe in Santa Clause

I for one love Hannah Montana’s lyrics and videos and I’m not afraid to say it so quit trash talking and let Miley get on with her life.

ugh… I remember the good ol’ days when I had no idea who she was. I went to my friends house and his little sister was watching it, based on the name “hannah montana” I thought it was the generic city girl moves to a small town, hates it at first, but then grows to like it plot, but I was sadly mistaken. I watched a portion of the episode before I rushed to the bathroom and started throwing up uncontrollably, miley was taking her test and had to do her gay dance to do well, the acting was the worst I have ever seen, and later, all the happy little 4 year olds in her class were singing and dancing (not one emo or fat kid to be seen, either) yeah, like any self respecting high schooler would ever dance and sing a science song enthusiastically. amd she is a terrible roll model, she teaches that the only way you can be popular is to change yourself into someone you aren’t with long blond hair. I just can’t wait for the Mickey Mouse funds to run dry and force Disney to go bankrupt.
