Miley’s no Idol fan

Tween sensation Miley Cyrus sang up a storm on the “American Idol” charity special “Idol Gives Back” but it turns out the Disney star is no fan of the most popular TV show (apart from her own) in America.

Cyrus, 15,  aka “Hannah Montana”,  performed two songs live at the Hollywood taping of the fundraiser at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre on Sunday and recorded a mini segment highlighting the plight of impoverished kids in Kentucky, where her dad Billy Ray Cyrus was born and raised.

But asked backstage whether she was an “American Idol” fan, Cyrus chirped; “The funniest part is that I am so excited to be here but I have never seen it. Never seen even an episode.”

“I think it’s something you have to really get into,” she explained, adding that she has been pretty busy over the last couple of years — what with her own TV show, album, tour, apearance as an Oscar presenter etc.

C’mon Miley! Even bad boy rapper Snoop Dogg, who also appeared on the show to broadcast Wednesday,  said he watches AI  from time to time.

Too funny that in the tape that her and her Dad made for the show that neither of them had their seat belts on in their car again. Way to set a great example there, Miles! ;(P And what was with scraping the floor during your performance and the touchy touchy? Are you trying to pull a Britney and switch away from your younger fans? You can do that and not look like a stripper, just ask Hilary Duff! No wonder Nick broke up with you. Ho Ho Ho… GOTTA GO!!!

I watched her perform tonight, having never seen her show or any of her other appearances. I found her demeanor to be disengenuous (sp?) and her actual singing to be even worse. She looked like a little kid at a sleepover party with her friends mimicking real musical talents. I am appauled and will be surprised if anybody knows her name once she turns 18. I’m not a country fan, but at least her father could carry a tune.

I agree with a lot of you folks on here. We shouldn’t get pissed off at Miley because she doesn’t watch American Idol. You know why? Because I don’t care for American Idol. Mostly all it is is people who THINK they have talent. Notice I said THINK they have talent and not KNOW they have talent. I’m even surprised the show has been on as long as it has. And I wouldn’t harp at Miley for not being able to watch the program. She probably puts in a million more work hours in a year than most 15 yr olds. I’m sure between doing tapings for her show, concerts, and rehearsals to do the concerts and her tapings, and special events that she’d rather chill out with her friends and family or go to bed and rest versus watching TV.

I think that it’s good Miley doesn’t watch American Idol. I’ve only seen parts of it and I think it’s terrible. People who could actually be good singers are told they aren’t by three very stupid people. With some lessons, they could be good. Miley is living her life how she wants to and not watching some one else have their dreams crushed. I think everyone should do this. Also don’t trash her because you sit around being a couch potato while she is living big time.

Okay listen—first of all she never said she was NOT a fan of American Idol…she just doesnt watch it. And come on, I dont blame the girl! Its a gay and boring show. Me and Miley have something in common—we both have lives and dont wait just to see people sing. So get the hell over it you losers.
MILEY ROCKS FOR LIFE!

Miley rocks! The title is so misleading! It’s not like she is saying it is a horrible show and hers is better. She just said she doesn’t watch it so what? I only watch the auditions. Seriously, the people who come up with these things!
