Hannah Montana Forever (Soundtrack)

What happens when a teen starlet tries to sex up her act? Well, first she loses her younger crowd, either because they're terrified or their parents disapprove. Then, she tries to find a way to regain the adoration of said younger crowd, perhaps by going back to what made her so famous and rich. In Miley Cyrus's case, that occurs with this, the soundtrack for her show, Hannah Montana, dubbed Forever. Call it a move by Disney to grasp at what little credibility to the tween sect she has left or a sincere attempt by Cyrus to appease those fans. Either way, it's a bit of a bold cashing-in move. And it's one that offers 11 tracks from throughout the final season of the TV series and features Sheryl Crow, father Billy Ray Cyrus, and reggae-R&B singer Iyaz.
