If you have children , then I am sure that you are familiar with the name 'Hannah Montana'. Well for those of you who don't know , Hannah Montana is a children's television programme which is broadcast on the Disney Channel. Miley Stewart is a secret popstar ; everyone is a huge fan of Hannah Montana , yet no one knows who she really is when she's out of costume ; not even her closest friends. Well , the actress Miley Ray Cyrus who plays the secret popstar 'Hannah Montana' , has stepped out of her characters shoes and is now an actual popstar rather than pretending to be one. Here debut album ' Breakout' is out now.
Miley Ray Cyrus was born on November 23rd 1993 to parents Billy Ray Cyrus (remember the popstar with the hit 'Achy Breaky Heart) and Letisha Finley , in Nashville , Tennessee , USA. It is amazing to think that she's achieved so much and is worth $58 million yet she is still only fifteen. With her talent , She is definitely someone who is going to be in the charts for a long time!
Breakout is the debut album from Miley Cyrus as herself (she has had a couple of albums as Hannah Montana but this is her first 'real' one.) The CD was released in the United Kingdom on September 1st 2008 where it reached number ten in the British album charts. There are twelve tracks on the album. The length of the album is thirty seven minutes and forty seven seconds.
I had never liked the show Hannah Montana and I never liked the actress that played her either. It wasn't until however , that she came out as herself , that I became to take notice of her. She has had a lot of press recently ; many interviews in magazines (where I saw how honest and genuine she is) and is a regular in celebrity magazines' gossip columns. As soon as I knew she had an album out , I immediately went out to my local HMV to buy it.
* See You Again * This is definitely my favourite ever song by Miley Cyrus. It's incredibly catchy and is an example of pure modern pop. This song is a great party song with its thumping beat. This song definitely potrays what it's like to have a teenage crush , with it's rhyming lyrics of. I like how this song is based on personal experience ; we know this from the phrase "My best friend Leslie said : oh she's just being Miley." Overall a great song!
* 7 Things * When I first heard this song I didn't like it , although after hearing it a couple of times on the radio , it grew on me and now it's one of my favourite songs in the charts right now. This song is quite energetic : matches Miley who actually wrote this' personality. This song is quite 'Hannah Montana-y' .
* Fly On The Wall * This song is very rocky ; quite different to her other stuff. It has a really catchy tune although one thing I don't like about this song is how 'foggy' the vocals are. By foggy I mean that the vocals aren't that clear , it doesn't sound like Miley usually does either. At two minutes and thirty two seconds , it's quite a short song , which is a shame because I love it!
* Bottom Of The Ocean * The song is ok , although I don't really think that Miley's voice suits this song ; I think her voice is much more suited to rock/pop songs rather than upbeat ballads. It's funny to hear her sing a slow song , as usually she is so energetic. It doesn't seem like it's her. This song is too samey and boring. Not one of my favourite songs on the album.
* Girls Just Wanna Have Fun * This is a cover of Cyndi Lauper's song. This song definitely suits Miley's voice ; it's much better than the original.
* These Four Walls * Miley's vocals are powerful on this track. A good song with a lot of emotions from Miley. This song is quite sad to listen to.
My Overall opinion of this album is a good one! It's really hard to believe that she is only fifteen years old ; she sounds so mature. I like how she wrote most of the songs herself ; it proves that she is a true musician rather than just like any other old popstar who is told what songs they are going to release , what to act like , what to dress and so on… but you can tell than Miley's had a lot to do with this album.
Breakout was definitely a good move for Miley ; a perfect way to step away from her 'Hannah Montana' image and a good way of introducing herself as herself to the music world. It's definitely much more mature than her Hannah Montana stuff.
This album is mainly aimed at teenagers I would say, although I'm sure that there are some adults out there who will enjoy this CD (my mum loves the song "See You Again".
I love this album ; I could easily listen to it on a regular basis without getting tired of it.
One good thing about this album is that Miley isn't trying to be like anyone else : she is just being herself. She is different to everyone else in the charts right now.
A great effort from Miley! I would definately reccommend this album!
If you have teenagers ; this would make a great stocking filler!
Advantages: Some good songs, good music, my daughter loves it, very mixed Disadvantages: There are some classic "Hannah Montana" style songs to fill in the gaps
If you have a young daugher (or even if you don't), there's a good chance you've heard of Miley Cyrus. For the purpose of this review however, I feel I need to give a little background as to exactly who Miley Cyrus is.
Miley (born Destiny Hope just in case that interests you) is the 15 year old (soon to be 16) daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. She is probaby more famous as her alias Hannah Montana. She has her own programme on the Disney ... ...girl have?) - a brown haired regular school kid who lived a secret life as blonde haired rock star Hannah Montana.
This is Miley's second album as herself. Although she has released other albums as Hannah Montana, this is her first album with no connection to the Hannah Montana franchise. Hannah's music is what I would describe as classic "teenybop pop". My daughter also likes High School Musical which is a similar kind of music. You know the kind ...

Advantages: Excellent songs, upbeat, diverse allbum, lyrics are exceptional and it is cheap! Disadvantages: I can't think of any, it is excellent.
Hannah Montanna or should I say Miley Cyrus is now a superstar and this album further proves this attained status! This album is absolutly brilliant and I would throughally recommend this. The album is becomming cheaper and cheaper with the 'Platinum' edition available from just £5.99 on iTunes. All of the songs are hits in their own right, just hear them for yourself on the iTunes store. Literally every song I absolutly love and having asked the ... ...agreed and said that it is an excellent album. Well worth getting and couldn't recommned it more.
Don't forget that Miley Cyrus hasn't got this fame for no reason and would not release an album that wasn't up to scratch with a reputation like her's. Thank you for reading! Hopefully this will give you an insight into the album and persuade you that it is worth getting! ...

Advantages: Great songs, Beautiful voice Disadvantages: N/A
I first heard Miley Cyrus on her TV show 'Hannah Montana' . She has a beautiful voice, I have also bought her other CDs, (Hannah Montana) so when she brought out a CD under her real name; not under Hannah Montana, I bought it! Her songs have great lyrics, and you can tell that they really mean something to her.
My favourite songs are, '7 things' & 'Bottom of the oceon'
'7 things' is written about an ex boyfriend obviously, you can tell that the ... ...Is a really calm and slow song. Its relaxing. In her book 'Miles to go' she said she actually wrote it about her goldfish. Its really good!
In my opinion If you don't buy this CD your mad. Some of her songs are slow and moving, but others just make you want to jump up and dance! A great mixture.
Her vocals are great, and her songs really suit her voice. She is a good role model, and her songs aren't just about nothing, they actually have meaning; ...

Breakout Review ofBreakout - Miley Cyrusby
rockchick2k7
Advantages: a 15 year old with remarkable talent Disadvantages: a few traces of ashlee simpson
Miley Cyrus: Breakout For me this is a major change...a major MAJOR change. i wasn't keen on this type of music at all till my music teacher suggested listening to the album...i thought he was going crazy at first but then he explained i might be good at doing one of these songs for my singing exam...so i listened to it and was pleased with what i heard. Breakout: As the opening track i must say i was gripped at Miley's Voice. She is amazing. I love ... ...7 Things: Starting off with acoustic guitar and a minor beat you think its going to be one of those slowish songs...oh how wrong the mind is. it speeds up. in this song Miley's tenesse accent stands out and makes the song amazing. The driveway: For a fifteen year old Miley has a remarkable talent. This song has a dixie chick(female country band) feel to it and is awesome. Full circle: This song has a good Beat and tempo. its also got a bit of a bounce ...

Quick review of Breakout - Miley Cyrus Review ofBreakout - Miley Cyrusby
naturallymepc
I, personally am not Miley Cyrus' biggest fan. But I have to say that I was enthralled with the songs. Some were sweet, others upbeat and fun. You won't regret buying this CD if you like music like HSM and the Jonas Brothers.

Advantages: Plenty of catchy songs and also nice ballads to bring happy tears!! Disadvantages: NONE!!
...I have known about this artist since she was in her hit show Hannah Montana. There are fans of this show who are very young, but don't let the show put you off the talent that is Miss MileyCyrus. This soul/pop album is upbeat but with a few ballad telling of the artists life experiences.
Even the colourful album cover is upbeat but it's also a nice modern, and simple photo of the artist herself. Inside there is also the lyrics of each and every song, a loving and appreciate signed message by MileyCyrus herself thanking her family, friends and of course her fans!
I can't review this record without mentioning the DVD that comes as an extra! It gives you some music videos from the artist . the music videos are those of singles that are also in the album itself. All the music videos are not of the same genre, but they are in that...

Album Notes: The daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and star of Disney's 'Hannah Montana' franchise Miley Cyrus releases her second solo album, her first without any affiliation to her on-screen persona. Cyrus herself co-wrote many of the songs here, a factor indicative of a lunge for artistic ownership and authenticity. Among the non-Cyrus songs are cover of the Cyndi Lauper classic 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' and the title track. A commendable stab at shedding her attachment to 'Hannah Montana', 'Breakout' features the singles '7 Things' (reputedly about her broken romance with Nick Jonas of fellow teen-poppers The Jonas Brothers) and 'See You Again'.
