Miley who?

Better known as Hannah Montana, a product of Disney's popstar-o'matic creation device.

Why is this here, anyway?

His daughter

This doesn’t help me at all.

Bless my lacklustre ‘celebrity’ knowledge.

her body double "upset at least one concert-goer". gosh, that is newsworthy.

One person who did not give their name, presumably because they didn't want anyone to know they were at a concert for 12 year olds.

I seriously doubt the majority of Hannah Montana's fans care if it's a body double in one song. Most of them probably aren't more than a year out of believing in Santa Claus.

Either way, her accent irritates me. It sounds like she's constantly chewing something

Give it a few years, once she gets replaced by Disney's next insta-star.

The Butler shot the body double after he drank his whisky double, then the traffic warden placed a parking ticket on the butler after he was standing on a double yellow line.
What i just said has just as much relevance to anyone than that news article.
Cannot think of a name

My guess is that s/he doesn't want to give their name because they were taping the concert illegally, since the video is on freakin' YouTube...

Is pop stars lip syncing during a concert even a scandal anymore? Isn't it more or less expected?

Further, this is certainly a bit of a different situation. The person didn't pay to see Miley Cyrus, they paid to see Hanna Montana, a character. This makes the concert at least equal parts theater as concert and certainly subjects it to theatrical conventions. While the person 'singing' may or may not have been Miley, she was still the character Hanna. That was the name on the ticket, that was the character they were there to see. They were not duped, they got the performance their ticket promised.

Now, when the sign reads, "Tonight: Miley Cyrus" it will be a slightly different story. But even then, pop concerts have long ago been about spectacle and not musical performance.

I don't care if it doesn't have anything to do with the article. It made me smile. :)

I liked the part about the whiskey double. :)

yeah, it's like going to see Sesame Street live, of course that's not really Elmo, it's an elmo-like puppet that is moving to a recording.....there is no real Elmo.
