Miley Cyrus Slams Rebecca Black, Also Says She Is Not Single

By AOL Music Editors Posted Mar 31st 2011 01:00AM

Miley Cyrus was once a burgeoning 13-year-old star herself, so why is she hating on young Rebecca Black?

"It should be harder to be an artist," Cyrus pined to Australia's Daily Telegraph when asked about the rising viral sensation and her new song, 'Friday.' "You shouldn't just be able to put a song on YouTube and go out on tour."

Cyrus is no stranger to controversy, but to be fair, she has held it together better than most child-turned-adult stars. Upon turning 18 she's had to face the near-divorce of her parents, racy photos being leaked, the cancellation of 'Hannah Montana' and, of course, the whole salvia bong-smoking incident. But don't look for her to take to the social airwaves to complain about it.

"I do not tweet, I do not social network, I try to stay out of it," she admitted. "For me, I complain enough about people knowing too much about my private life, so to go out there and exploit myself would be silly and hypocritical of what I stand for."

Cyrus is dealing with it the way she was raised by her father Billy Ray Cyrus to deal with it: by singing. "I don't lip-sync," she said proudly. "I would rather someone say I sang like crap than have people see me lip-sync."

Scaling back her stage performance, Cyrus was interviewed by The Daily Telegraph in advance of the Australian leg of her 'Gypsy Heart' tour, and she was excited to share that this set of shows features fewer costume changes, some acoustic songs and a set list influenced by shout-outs from the crowd -- all for a ticket price under $100. But will she be traveling alone?

"I don't want to cross out the Australian boys, but I may or may not be single ... I'm definitely not coming to Australia single."

I generally like black chicks, but I have to say there is something about Miley that I like.....maybe it's because she's got spunk. She kinda reminds me of Sandy Cheeks, but of coarse much hotter.

If you're older than 8, you need help.

No, you should have a multimillion dollar Disney machine sculpting your image and explaining your every move

Say what? Is she in a tribe? Sounds like it.

Miley, if people didn't get discovered by youtube/myspace/blogs/whatever there wouldn't have been half as many good artists in the past 10 years. You are ridiculous.

By Ted

Well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

By Spike

Well, her name IS black, after all....

Clever.

By stash

stop picking on miley cyrus. geez what a s--t life she must have, having everyone question what she says and does all the time. you can have fame because the media and general public stink.
