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."

What is she going to do when the fandom stops and her career fades. I always wonder that because it invariabley happens. Wow, you made tons of money and if you didn't blow it all you should be O.K. Such sucess is good for those that appreciate its end.

lol 'should be harder to be an artist' i totally agree, so why is Miley one? Last I checked all she sings is smut music and teeny bopper crap, as for her photos being leaked, thats kinda easy to do when she does it herself, what a bimbo

The 'Friday' video wouldn't even be out there if Black's Mother didn't pay for the video to be created.

By Kookie

She's right = she does sing like crap.
She's wrong about not wanting the public knowing her whole life= The bizarre things she does keeps her in the news. Her 'career'
is just about over.

By honeyintheson

Seriously....if it were harder to be a artist you'd still be performing for Mr. Bubble!

I thought the Friday song and video sounded and looked like crap. I have seen school projects that have turned out better. Rebecca Black's voice is really very irritating.

By emt1993

I so definitely agree, the Rebecca Black song was very irritating to hear. I could not even listen to the whole thing.

By just sayin'

Promising for what? She has no talent. Her voice is irritating and her acting ability is non existent. She is a little girl playing with self indulgent media access.

I agree with Miley, the girl sounds like she singing through her nose. Black posted this 'Friday' song on here, then she touring to sing it.
I dont know why some people here are trashing Miley about it,,,, oh, wait a minute,, I do know why, people love to hate, its what they do best.
Anyone who can be honest for a minute, will admit, the song Black sings is horrible. The song it self is a joke, and Black's voice is nasal as anyone can get.
Lets all do the right thing, lets bash Miley until she crys.
She deserves it for Black singing a terrible song.

Maybe she should have a Dad, that paved a golden road for his pathetic, talentless daughter, who is so desperate for attention, she has to act like a tramp, send tasteless pics over the internet, that borders on child porn, AND get busted on film being a doper?

By eubie doo

Miley, 95% of the people Know Rebecca Black Sucks, with Stupid lyrics and her awful singing voice she'll fizz out in no time.

By LiveFromPittsburgh

How hypocritical of MILEY CYRUS of all people. If your father never put out that stupid song, none of us would ever know who Miley is. And we would be better off for it now.

By Jillage

Who is Miley to talk. Seriously, she got her break on a TV show. I am not a Rebecca Black or Justin Bieber fan but good for them. They posted their videos on You Tube and got a fan base on their own. Justin Bieber got a manager after that. He didn't have daddy or the Disney machine behind him. Look at Colbie Colbert. She was discovered on You Tube. I seriously wish Miley Cyrus would go away. She acts like a spoiled child if someone else is getting attention.

By TheFallofRome

No, the way to fame is have your daddy get famous off of one atrocious song and pave the way for you. Oh yeah, you do sing like crap.

By reathea

Oh for goodness sakes. This girl just went for some fun, never claimed to be a professional. Miley, are you jealous? Every artist or entertainer has to start somewhere. You did not pop out of the womb a Disney protegy. At least her video did not have inappropriate content, can you say the same Miley?

By paul

this kid sings like the fishes, and acts like she has a learning disability... she really should just keep her trap shut and do whatever she does.. somewhere else
