Katharine Land, Can anyone tell me if Miley can really "Sing"without any enhancement's behind her. It blows me away that her albums sell out .This new one is just terrible.Her song writing is just as bad..Am I alone on this opinion?
Besides Miley,can anyone see tha singing talent of Vanessa Hudgins?The new album is almost a clone to the former,and sells and sells. What do they have in common?-- Terrible voices,able to show their skin,and last but not least a}They sell ton's of albums to the tween's b}Disney Graduates c}They can dance If this is the direction Disney wants to go,Katharine doe's not need them Katharine blow's them both away,singing and dancing with out showing the skin. Disney see's her as a role model for young ladies that doe's not include the "Tween Demographic". We here in KMF Land know this fact.Disney had better put their money where their mouth's are real soon before they miss the boat on our Katharine---
Katharine hit it big at an awkward age--a lot of these megastars hit it big as teens and/or subteens themselves, so kids of that age immediately identified with them. Katharine was young enough to appeal to that demographic in one sense, but maybe not that total identification, more like a "big sister" or something. Miley C. with her secret identity as a rock star (or however that goes, I've never seen a Hanna M. episode) is probably someone tons of little kids can just jump right into with their imaginations.
Being a megastar these days doesn't seem to have to do with talent, per se, but more with being either somebody the fans identify with, or somebody they want to be. The younger ones go for Miley and Vanessa and the slightly older ones go for Christina, Justin and Britney. That's not to say there isn't some talent in the bunch I just named, because I think Christina can sing her butt off and Justin just amazed me with all the things he could do when I watched the HBO version of his tour. But what really got the crowd wound up and kept them going was when he would stop and talk to them, and talk their language, and have a couple of drinks and joke about it, and just generally act like this cool, hip, kinda risque' guy who loved his fans and the rest of the world could just go jump off a cliff. They responded to the attitude. I don't think Katharine will ever project that. They can stick her in a too-short dress and hooker boots all they want, somehow she still comes off like a class act.
Good morning Katharine Land.Here is more info on "Crazy" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CRAZY, an Award-Winning Film Inspired by the Life of Guitar Legend Hank Garland, is an Official Selection at Cape Cod, MA's Woods Hole Film Festival, Screening Saturday, August 2, 9PM Waylon Payne (Walk The Line) and Ali Larter (Heroes) Star, and Film is Drawing Major Festival Awards Including Four for Best Feature and One Each for Best Screenplay and Best Actor LOS ANGELES, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- CRAZY, an independent feature film inspired by the tragic life and groundbreaking music of legendary 1950s-era guitarist Hank Garland, is an official selection at the 17TH Annual Woods Hole Festival in Woods Hole, MA. The eight day event, which begins on July 26, is the oldest independent film festival on Cape Cod and the Islands. CRAZY will be screened on closing night, Saturday, August 2 at 9PM in the Redfield Auditorium at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (Water Street, Woods Hole, 02543). Waylon Payne, acclaimed for his debut film role as Jerry Lee Lewis in the Oscar-winning film Walk The Line, stars as Hank Garland. LA.com recently wrote, "The brash and brilliant musician is well played by charismatic actor Waylon Payne." In addition to acting, Payne is a country artist with deep musical roots. He was named for his godfather, Waylon Jennings, and is the son of GRAMMY(R)-winning country singer Sammi Smith and Jody Payne, longtime guitarist for Willie Nelson. CRAZY has won major awards at 2008 festivals, including Best Feature honors at Colorado's Breckenridge Festival of Film -- where Payne also won for Best Actor -- and the Hoboken Film Festival. The film also won the Vanguard Award, top honor at the Jacksonville International Film Festival in Jacksonville, FL. Hank Garland lived the last four decades of his life near Jacksonville with his brother (and manager) Billy Garland and Billy's wife Amy, who attended the screening. Other awards include Best Feature at Hawaii's Big Island Film Festival and the Jury Award for Best Feature at the Charleston International Film Festival. For Charleston's Post and Courier, Bill Thompson wrote, "CRAZY has a bedrock feel of authenticity...a lively, emotionally resonant movie that is an uncommonly seamless meld of character study and period recreation." At the L.A. area's Method Fest in Calabasas, CA, CRAZY won the Daily News Award for Best Screenplay for a script co-written by CRAZY's director Rick Bieber, Jason Ehlers and Brent Boyd. Bieber was introduced to the project -- and to the late Hank Garland -- by Ray Scherr, who served as Executive Producer for CRAZY along with guitar hero Steve Vai (who performs a cameo as Hank Williams) under the Favored Nations Films mantle. Scherr had known the Garland family for over a decade, and believed Hank's true story had great potential for a compelling drama. Hank consulted on the screenplay and was involved with the project until he passed away in December '04, shortly before principal photography began. CRAZY's music was produced by multiple-GRAMMY(R)-winning producer Larry Klein, who was most recently honored for the 2007 Album of the Year, Herbie Hancock's River -- The Joni Letters. Waylon Payne headlines CRAZY opposite Ali Larter (Heroes, Legally Blonde, etc), who plays Hank's beautiful but deeply troubled wife Evelyn Garland. Cast members also include: Lane Garrison as Billy Garland; Scott Michael Campbell as fellow guitar ace Billy Byrd; singer Stacy Earl, as country crooner Goldie Hill; Evans Forde as Nashville legend Chet Atkins; and Ryan Cross, as jazz bassist Joe Benjamin. Shawn Colvin and Katharine McPhee also perform cameos. CRAZY chronicles Hank Garland's rise to fame in Nashville, from playing on hits for icons including Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, the Everly Brothers and Roy Orbison through his brief but influential solo career as a visionary jazz artist. It also explores his tempestuous marriage as well as his repeated clashes with the "Nashville Mob" -- who then controlled the country music establishment -- over artist's rights, civil rights and other issues. The car crash and electroshock treatments that eventually ended Garland's performing career and derailed his life are starkly portrayed, and the enormity of what was lost is deeply felt. CRAZY is an official selection at upcoming '08 festivals including: Wine Country Film Festival (CA, 7/22-8/3), Rhode Island Int'l Film Festival (Providence, 8/5-10), Sacramento Music & Film Festival (CA, 8/8-17), River's Edge Int'l Film Festival (Paducah, KY, 8/14-17), and Scottsdale Int'l Film Festival (10/3-7
