Miley Cyrus Doesn’t Like ‘Glee,’ Hates Pop Music

The latest issue of Billboard magazine crowns Miley Cyrus the Princess of Tweens, determined to move on to the next stage as an artist but adamant her fans follow her or, at the very least, accept that she can’t be stuck in the same loop forever. In another bid to show the world she’s growing up, the singer, actress and songwriter shares her views on cultural phenomenon “Glee” and pop music in general, with both of them being on her don’t do list.

Just recently, Fox picked up “Glee” for a third season, despite the fact that the show isn’t even done with the first season, which goes to speak volumes about how popular it is. With all that, Miley doesn’t watch it because she doesn’t get it: a musical can’t be convincing and it can certainly not be relatable, so why would anyone want to watch it, she asks in the June 2010 issue of the music mag.

“Honestly, musicals? I just can’t. What if this was real life and I was just walking down the street on Rodeo Drive and all of a sudden I just burst into song about how much I love shoes? It would get you hits on YouTube,” Miley says. Instead of “Glee,” she prefers to listen to music that actually means something, like that Lady Gaga puts out. “Unlike a lot of artists, all her music does mean something personally,” Cyrus adds. And “Glee” is not the only thing that Miley doesn’t like, for she’s not a fan of pop music either.

“I listen to zero pop music, which is really weird for someone who makes pop music. My 13-year-old self would have beaten up my 17-year-old self because she would be like, ‘You’re a sellout!’ But that’s not what it is. It’s not dance music that’s just about, ‘Ooh, I’m in the club and everyone’s looking at me.’ It means something. I’m not just sitting here trying to sell glitz and glamour... because no one lives that life. A lot of [pop] songs are super shallow, but this music isn’t,” Miley says for the same issue of Billboard magazine.

Speaking of cultural phenomenons, “Glee” is not the only one Miley Cyrus stays away from. In November last year, as the “Twilight: New Moon” hype reached never before seen quotas, Miley was saying that she could simply not understand it. To make matters even worse, months before that, she said she did not like Robert Pattinson and couldn’t see why an entire world was so crazy about it, much to the disappointment and outrage of RPattz fans.
