NE says – reply to this

802

Lets face it. she is not a good singer, nor has she ever been. She is not even an artist. She does not even write her own music.

HilDu says – reply to this

804

how?
how could somebody be so idiotic to remake a classic that nobody will every be able to pull off even close to Cyndi Lauper's song??
I never considered her necessarily a complete moron until now.

805

I highly dislike Miley Cyrus.. kind of sad that a remake is the best song I've ever heard her sing..but she all ready sounds like an 80's hasbeen..
She sped the song up too much anyway.. it sounded like a hamster.

i love it n i love her. also, i hate how perez sometimes calls her slutty cyrus. its so mean. im not gonna lie, she has done a few sllutty photos n stuff, but i truly feel bad 4 her, she has so much preasure as it is, n people that just say negative stuff 2 her must be relly hard 2 take.

i think it was good cus instead of completely copying the original song she added her own spin to it while still keeping to the basic stuff
whereas the jonas brothers have done remakes of soooo many songs and they're pretty good
while miley here does one remake and you bash her for it?
thats not fair give her some credit
gosh shes only 16 seriously you can't expect her to be the next christina aguilera and besides shes living her dream and thats more than a lot of you can say! every artist has songs that isn't so great while they have like 10 hits thats miley right there
how many number one singles does she have seriously?
while so many artists only have one hit single and they fall off the face of the earth so even though this isn't one of miley's best songs its definately good

ughtotally gross.
her "fun" is getting naked and kissing older men and then talling all the gossip mags

and this song proves how gross and totally remixed her voice becomes.

Anyone can sing through a vocoder … it's all synthesized. Most of your little pop pricesses are vocoded and all of you feed into the lies. They are not talented. It's a computer who deserves all the credit.

Crap, and her voice being that of a chain smoking 40 yr old hooker doesn't help matters.

This song is a perfect song for Miley Cyrus to sing. Its such a disney channel star song and shes the perfect person to sing it. Its great! I like it a ton better than the original! Good Job Miley!

Re: Gretc – BULL !!!!! never in your life jamie sings better than miley … just keep on dreaming … i mean be realistic …
rghfg says – reply to this

826

that was absolutely disgusting. miley cyrus has no talent, she cant act, she cant sing, she cant dance. she would do better as a model for veneers since she got that mountain range of a mouth fixed
lala says – reply to this

827

i think people are a bit harsh on miley. sure, she is kind of slutty, but i personally know alot of people like miley and they are really sweet. they just make stupid mistakes. it IS her fault for acting all high and mighty and then ho-ing it up but hey, girls just want to have fun, right? haha.

themu says – reply to this

830

she's not a even a real artist all she's done is make a crappy tv show and horible princess pop music.

but it is amazing how disney did make a huge multi-milllion dollar franchise out of her

831

Shawn says – reply to this

832

So Hilary Duff BUTCHERS Madonna's Material Girls, which got no radio play cause it sucked so bad. Now Miley Cyrus is butchering Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun…..what's thew world coming to? I don't know WHY Cyndi would give permission to this fake, over-produced singer……for F*ck sakes!

836

i would dance around the house drunk to it or grind up against by boyfriend to it.

ciao bitches
BesTa says – reply to this

837

Miley's voice isn't good.
It just isn't.

Her lower voice (Come on, let's admit it. It's rather mannish.) isn't meant for this song.

Why would she take such a great song and mangle it?

The tempo is quick- much too quick for this Cyndi Lauper classic.

What's with the cover- I'd like to find out exactly what that is all over her crotch.

If Miley insists on singing, she should stick to her own lyrics instead of ruining other artists songs.

In the great and relevant words of Bill Bernach,
"An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it."

I'd say this idea goes to the dust.

It's says – reply to this

846

I'm guilty of liking it…its kinda catchy
Miley says – reply to this

847

I'm embarrassed that my name is Miley!!! she sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only reason she was able to become famous is because of her dad ( by the way we need to teach that man how to take a shower)!!!! And if she wants to prove to us that she has real talent she needs to stop trying to get even more famous off of other peoples songs!!!!

Miley Cyrus is a SLUT!!!!!!!!!! whooooooooooooooo!!!
I love you Perez!!!
linds says – reply to this

848

her voice in this song reminds me of the hamster dance song. Or like the chipmunk songs……poor Miley
LK says – reply to this

i hate miley and she just ruined a perfectly good song!
She isnt talented and should just get out of the limelight.
She is an insult to music.
Jenna says – reply to this

850

Good god. Does she have to ruin everything?
She might as well quit well she is still young.
My advice to her: Go to college. You will need to since your career is dwindling right before your eyes.
ava says – reply to this

WOW they did a REALLY good job EDITING HER VOICE. IT SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE THAT! She sounds like shit live - I went to one of her concerts to see the Jonas Brothers on the BOBW tour.

Kate says – reply to this

Wow,this is horrible,I couldn't even get through all of it.
Why does these pop princesses feel the need to redo all of these songs? They were fine before they got their grubby little hands on them.Leave them how they are;Good.

dg8 says – reply to this

869

perez i've tried 2 hve your back when people tear u down but now your really making it hard ….why must u tear down miley cyrus all the time your an adult and she's a child but yet u continue 2 call her a slut and 4 what?..entertainment purposes…so not cool…act your age perez damn….while i'm at it just thought i'd mention your being a total hypocrit about lindsay lohan also…your beyond gay so why r u raging on her if she's dating samantha…it's her life and business…knock it off man (girl)…that's not cool….stop tearing people down 4 the sake of entertainment…your no better then the rest of these tabloids….and that's sad bcuz i really was a fan….
wow says – reply to this

870

she ruined that! i normally am not a fan of miley but i wouldnt jump to judge if she actually put out something good but she gets wayy to much attention for her lack of talent….seriously has anyone seen her acting chops on that show? she sucks!
Steph says – reply to this

871

Re: Chris –

I will totally join u in that campaign and i agree with everything u said!!!
Steph says – reply to this

872

In my opinion . Hate her always did but she seriously needs to sing her own fucking songs and stop doing covers of artists that sound wayyyy better than her. Come on miley are u done being over yet? I hear new shit about her every week and frankly im tired of it. She fucking posts semi nude pics on internet and she doesnt even get grounded or anything for it. Vanessa posts nude pics and she nearly gets fired. Little miss bitch seems to get what she wants
Steph says – reply to this

873

And sorry miley fans but you guys need to stop saying shit about perez. If your going to trash talk him why are u on his page unless you enjoy being on his page. Exactlyyyyyyy. I agree with everything perez says about miley cause she fucking deserves it. We need new artists up in here and not hearing about miley all the time so im glad hes ragging on her maybe more people will come to realize how much of a no talent,slut she is

rae says – reply to this

878

i actually really like it, of course its not as good as the original, but i dont think she really expected it to outshine the original i think she just wanted to do a FUN song, listening to this song she obviously has talent and a vocal range people need to stop bashing her its pathetic
Barbi says – reply to this

879

i think it's great!
perez, why are you such a miley hater?
jelousy, perhaps?

Love you Miles.
maris says – reply to this

883

Re: Smily – ive heard of it. and i love it. and yes it is a classic. i hate todays music especially disney and hannah montana. plus she needs to take out her retainer and blow her nose when she sings. she sounds too stuffed up
Bea says – reply to this

888

BLA!
ffafa says – reply to this

889

there have been a lot of remakes of cyndi lauper's 'girls just want to have fun', and honestly i think this could be one of the better versions. miley's voice sounds more matured, and she seems to have a lot of control over her voice despite the fast beat. i'd give it a 7.
amy says – reply to this

890

she has a good voice, it's just not right for this song.
steph says – reply to this

love the song. hate her

i like the song i dont think its bad
Frenc says – reply to this

893

Omi. Miley needs to stick to her wholesome "Disney ways" because this song is definitly not for her, why did she feel the need to ruin a perfectly fun song? poor poor miley … i never liked her songs anyway. actually i find that her music career and her scandals of photography are a pathetic attempt to rack in the millions becuase her father is a hass-been and someone needs to support her family and their hollywood ways. MILEY SUCKS
diana says – reply to this

894

miley is awesome. and she has a great voice. which only makes sense that this song sounds fabulous coming from her. i think it's actually a lot better than Cyndi Lauper's version. Second of all, for those of you that dont like miley… why are you even wasting you're time listening to her and then bashing her? get a life. you people are just sad and pathetic. millions of kid's wish to be hannah montana/miley cyrus. so any of you trying to talk shit, need a new hobby. you guys are all pathetic

899

NOW she is comparing herself to Madonna (who. Vocal-wise, is not worthy to wipe Cindy Lauper's a**). Hey, anyone remember TALENT? She will be so over in 6 months!
