Not a fan!!!! Triple Image & Jamie Lynn Spears's version is 100x better. Jamie Lynn COMPLETELY outsings Miley in that verse too.

Girls just wanna have fun is NOT a classic - it's just a catchy dumb song from 20-25 yeas ago.
Without Miley singing, today's 12 year old girls would never have heard of it.

Chris says – reply to this

17

Are we not done with her yet???? I have yet to see any real talent from her. She can't act, she really can't sing and yet she manages to manipulate the universe into a cult following. Can we start a ban Miley campaign??

lu says – reply to this

53

oh
my
god
she KILLED IT!!!
Kayla says – reply to this

54

It sux. I understand why she would want to do something new with it, but unfortunately it now sounds like every other crappy song out there. The lighthearted poppy-ness and quirkiness of the original is seriously missing, which is what made it so great and why that song still holds up today. But no doubt it will be a hit with the 5-year-olds who worship her.

I liked it!!!
alexa says – reply to this

56

Holy shit…. That SUCKS!

Take it down take it down it's burning my ears!
Andre says – reply to this

57

What has she done to the song?
She just completely savaged Cyndi Lauper's song!
Her new album is going to bomb.
I'm sure not going to buy it.

58

I like it. The old version gets annoying really fast and I've actually always kind of wanted someone to put a new spin on this song since it is a fun tune.

63

i dont like it. it has like this violin thing and it makes it kind of sound dramatic or something. she ruined it. Cyndis was so upbeat and fun, her whiney yoodley voice just killed it!
j says – reply to this

64

i think her voice sounds really good, ive heard much worse covers of songs than that
ALY says – reply to this

65

SHE SOUNDS LIKE A CHIPMUNK ON SPEED… IF I WERE CYNDI LAUPER I WOULD BITCH SLAP HER FOR BUTCHERING THE SONG LIKE THAT!
gymna says – reply to this

66

It actually isn't that bad. I wouldn't put it on my iPod, but seriously, I thought it would be worse.
And yeah, Girls Just Want to Have Fun IS a classic! And actually, people would be surprised at how many old songs twelve and thirteen year olds know.
ash says – reply to this

67

It is a classic song! but she doesn't do it justice…
Miss. says – reply to this

68

simi says – reply to this

69

LOVES says – reply to this

70

First, it's a great song to begin with. Second, she does a very good job of covering it. Third, who cares what we think? It'll probably sell millions!

Not too bad, but totally auto-tuned.
Jill says – reply to this

73

I DIDN'T THINK SO …

IN ANY CASE, IT'S CUTE …
Lyla says – reply to this

74

Damie says – reply to this

75

It's says – reply to this

77

I think it's great!!! I really like her voice.
Donna says – reply to this

78

I love Cyndi L.
This song totally appeals to my 15 year old neice. She loves it.
I think it sounds fun - but … it is hard to forget and compare it to Cyndi.
thankfully…my neice doesn't have that problem since, she doesn't know who Cyndi is.

funny says – reply to this

82

She's just not a talented person… how did she get so freaking famous?? my kid could do better than that!
jim says – reply to this

83

mmm… the auto-tuner.
just another little ho that thinks she can sing thanks to an over-confident producer who loves to abuse technology.
veeje says – reply to this

84

sux ax
sbotw says – reply to this

85

Horrible. It sounds like a Weird Al remake, it's just missing the accordian. I can't believe Cyndi Lauper would allow this and i can't believe this girl would attempt this, she simply does not have the talent.
djsal says – reply to this

86

Good for 12 year old girls I guess, very preteeny boppy
AJ says – reply to this

87

For a cover, it's actually pretty good. She has a good voice. Most people who listen to her won't even know it's a cover anyway Course, you hate Miley, so you'll trash anything she does irregardless.
kayle says – reply to this

88

I like it
ddd says – reply to this

89

way to butcher a good oldie miss slutana.
obbie says – reply to this

90

this cover to that song ain't shit. fuck Miley Cyrus stick to what you know best showing pictures of yourself almost naked or sing even more horrible songs on Hannah Monthana. go fuck yourself.
Laris says – reply to this

91

I love Miley Cyrus, its a decent cover. Everyone that hates on her most likely does because uhh.. they aren't between the ages of 8 and 12?
She's marketted to kids, of course you people won't like her. /rolleyes.
morga says – reply to this

92

miley is singing it so how good can it be?? she doesnt compare to cyndi and if this is the only way for 12 year olds today to hear this song, then maybe they shouldnt hear it at all
NayCa says – reply to this

93

oops…..i think i threw up a lil in my mouth
hahaha just kidding,
it was actually better than i expected. I hate the original…
Although, to me, this seems a little YTV-ish
cyndi says – reply to this

94

I think more importantly than what we think, what does the Great Cyndi Lauper think about it. If she likes it than who cares what the great unwashed think.
Shirl says – reply to this

95

wow - horrible. I just don't like her voice, and she really ruins this song. Someone who posted before me said "like a chipmunk on speed" - good analogy for it!!
aweso says – reply to this

96

Marij says – reply to this

How can you guys say she has a good voice? It's not her real voice!

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
