The concert was not without Miley's family there also. Her family supports and helps her with her career. Her older, half-brother, Trace opened with his band Metro Station:
The concert was not without a grand entrance, with lights, smoke and the main star breaking through an "ice" cage: 
The concert was not without fire, head banging and screaming, and speaking of fire, it was not without a Hot star in trendy, indecent clothing:
The concert was also not without amazing dancing and showy acrobatic stunts:
The concert WAS without Hannah Montana, much to the disappointment of Brianna, and possibly several young girls I saw attending with their blond Hannah wigs on.
It made me think of of what Hannah's publicist in the Hannah Montana movie said: "you're not going to destroy their dreams are you, cause that's what Hannah's all about."
and her friend Lilly said in the movie: "Hannah's a part of you, don't let her go"
yes, it is just a movie, and it is just a tv show, but it is who the girls look up to, knowing that Miley Cyrus is also Hannah Montana and both, one and the same, sing inspirational songs the whole family enjoy, young and old. And that's the Miley I was expecting but didn't see much of.
I like what 104.1 the Fish's web director had to say in his Editorial: Miley Cyrus at a Fork in the Road: "...she stands on the brink of making weighty long-term adult decisions about her career, her image, the causes she gets behind…and the possible long-term ramifications of stupid choices...As with many before her...also grew weary of being thought of as teen stars doing teen roles. Consequently, their springboards into adulthood were marked by controversial and promiscuous movie roles, scant clothing, seductive song lyric content...A good amount of “trust capital” has been built up in the minds of parents and kids from Cyrus’ "Hannah Montana" product...Imagine what longevity her career would have from taking the “clean” high ground and offering a positive role model for young women; showing that girls don’t have to flaunt and flirt to get ahead in life. Wouldn’t it be great to see a courageous female entertainer prove that you can be a mega-star and still keep your dignity...Happy upcoming birthday Miley. Adulthood will bring you much freedom – but “to whom much is given, much is required.” "

Okay, so is that the majority of her bra being totally flaunted in that last pic? I must say I have been disappointed recently as well. She started out so well as an icon for all those girls. Let's see what she does............
Did I hear something on the news about a stripper pole? Or her mike stand was set to look like one? Anyhoo, kids today really need good honest role models. Hate to say it but in todays time if you have good morals your not gonna get very far. I hope Miley doesn't buy into worldly views were as a girl she has to dress like a $10 hooker and sleep with everyone. By the way, I think I have to call you and Beth a dork for sitting through that. Bob's sis Tami had to sit through Jonas brothers for Natasha. What we do for our kids!
hehe! I actually love Miley/Hannah music, especially the Hannah Montana soundtrack. And I like the soft rock she is singing lately as long as it doesn't become hard rock like her brother Trace's band and she keeps the lyrics wholesome and ok for young girls to hear. As much as I enjoyed the music at the concert (not able to understand all the lyrics though), I was so disgusted with the clothes she wore and the way she acted on stage. What I would love to say to her is who are you living for, who do you want to please, the World or God? It's going to have to be a choice, you can't serve both. She claims her family attends church and she reads her Bible everyday, but actions show what's really in the heart.
It's a sad reality. Those thrown into the stream of money and fame rarely... I mean ALMOST NEVER... make good choices. Unfortunately it sends a horrible message to the female youth populace, who overwhelmingly follow in similar patterns, sans-wealth/fame.
Even when they start as children, even innocent (like the Olsen twins, for example), they end up being horribly corrupted, sending their corrupting cascading down into the lives of all their fans.
Here's hoping Miss Cyrus isn't just another hopeless statistic.
I'm a Jesus fan. He was never once corrupted, even though He was quite literally offered all the world. And through His humility and GOOD CHOICES, He gained the whole world, even my soul. I am glad to be called by His name, His holiness unworthily stamped on me, my sins blotted out by His grace.
