Something very scary happened to me on Wednesday night while I was half-watching, half-listening to Idol Gives Back on television. I heard a song that I liked, that I hadn’t heard before, and it was enough to make me turn away from the computer to see who might be singing.
Omigod.
It was Miley Cyrus or as my nieces and nephews twenty years younger than me like to call her Hannah Montana! Really? I couldn’t look away as Miley belted out the refrain to “See You Again”. I was mesmerized…and a little horrified, but I think that mostly was the not-so-Hannah Montana-like gyrating that was going on during the performance.
Now, I’ve never been sought out for my stellar taste in music, but this was something way bigger than having Ashlee Simpson’s “Boyfriend” and Britney Spear’s “Piece of Me” on my iPod playlist. This was a Disney Channel pop princess…a Disney Channel pop princess that just cost me a buck on iTunes.
Damn you, American Idol.
