28. She has talent.

First it was subsumed in Tweener music. Now she's rebelling. Duh! Miley is just 20 with megamoney. It's not like she is the only one ever to make shocking and/or questionable decisions.
Madonna wasn't exactly a shrinking violet.
I'm not saying she is on par with Madonna.

Hopefully, she will become someone who is not mostly a caricature trying to shock. Maybe we will see Destiny Hope "Miley" Cyrus at some point and find out who is beneath all that schtick. It may be closer to Dolly in some ways than we think. She certainly is a supporter of LGBT rights.
