Disney Stars : Now and Then

So Miley Cyrus's latest single, named We Can't Stop is out and I'm listening to it. The video is, well, very different from her previous songs and videos, but not totally unexpected as we have seen her rapid and extreme changes throughout the years. It got me thinking how we have all changed physically, mentally and emotionally as we got older.

Miley Cyrus 

Like a lot of people, I went on and listened to all those old songs Miley sang after listening to 'We Can't Stop'. Basically, she started with a song called '7 Things'. And then there was 'Party In The USA'. 'The Climb' and 'When I Look At You' came along as two of the most emotional songs. She did a few country songs too which were all very fun and inspirational. She changes her image quite a lot from her Hannah Montana days. People don't accept this nicely. They criticized her and threw nasty comments towards her. Well this is what you get by growing up in the public eye I guess. She took all the bad comments well I could say. She went from being a goody-two-shoes (role model to many young girls) to a rough rock singer with drinking, dancing and partying. This is without a doubt, an extreme change. She wanted to ditch her quirky clean image to a rock n roll image very badly and in an interview she even said that she is ashamed of all the songs she did during her teenage years.

I don't really understand why she feels the need to do that. Although I love her no matter what she did, I still think that her voice is so perfect for country songs and those touching emotional songs to motivate and lift spirits.But I can't deny that her voice could be suitable for any kind of songs though. She is a wonderful person deep down and she stays true to herself. She is very talented and people love her for it.

Demi Lovato

Her career basically kicked off when she starred in Camp Rock with Jonas Brothers. After the movie ended, she started singing, with the song called 'Get Back'. People were all amazed by her voice range, such powerful loud voice it is. She acted some more in a few Disney shows and had duets with Jonas Brothers and Selena Gomez, and became very close to them. She continued to sing until there were a few reported events that said she hit people, her friendship with Selena got sour and she checked herself into rehab.

After some time, she got out of rehab and got a new album, with the emotional 'Skyscraper' as the first single. She had grown a lot more mature after she came out of rehab. She talked about what she had been through, about her eating disorder and emotional breakdowns. Since then, she stopped acting and just focused on her singing. Her songs are very motivational, meaningful and emotional and that makes Demi a role model to many girls out there.

Her latest album, named Demi with the first single 'Heart Attack' is out and got positive feedback.


Selena Gomez

She acted in the Disney Barney show when she was a kid, landed herself in a few more shows and then got a leading role in Wizards of Waverly Place. Her fame rose because of it and she tried her hand in singing. Her first songs include 'Tell Me Something I Don't Know', 'Naturally'and 'Falling Down'. She looked young and pretty in her music videos and her songs were just fun to sing along without any deeper meaning to them. She continued acting and tried her hand in the fashion scene later.

She dated Justin Bieber and at the same period we saw her grown into a more sexy and mature lady with her songs, such as 'who says' and 'love you like a love song', which have more meaning to them. Her latest song now is 'come and get it'. People used to say that she couldn't sing but recently we gradually see her improvement. Her acting, singing, fashion sense and beauty make her an idol for many young girls.
