The SECRET World of Hannah Montana! 

i honestly wish i didn't remember this show at all

I remember I watched it all but I thought Emily Osment was cooler. I like all the Miley songs which definitely causes me to get mocked sometimes lol

You'll always find your way back home

True Friend, Clear, If We Were A Movie, and I Learned From You always held a special place in my heart in particular.

I can fully assure you that i didnt watch hannah montanna because it was my moms way of keeping my little sister quiet.

I find it rather creepy honestly...

I mean, it’s kinda ideal on these kind of productions if you’re older but still youthful, they don’t have to worry about child labor laws or working with inexperienced kid actors.

Then again, Jason Earles was hilarious as Jackson & we can’t see anyone else playing him.

I mean, Jason Earles does look pretty young for his age. Probably when he's 60-70 years old, way in the future, he'd look more like he was 40-50. I dunno. Me myself, hasn't really changed that much since I was around 14-15. So, if I was an actress, I could play much younger roles, despite being 24, and 25 next year.

@@terrance1310 Same!

Yep!

Yep 😊 Hannah Montana is lightly based on her life because the famous big blonde hair is a wig and Dolly is actually brunette and looks like a completely different person without her glam. She prefers it that way

@@jessicasuzanne___ A person of few words.

It makes sense tbh. The way your hair is styled and glasses frames your face differently.

or Peter Parker

I mean it is in the same universe as Zach and Cody in which in an episode almost everyone seemed to ignore that Maddie looked like Ashley Tisdale, no wigs involved.

@@gerardgarcia8501 peter wears a full body suit with a mask that covers his entire head

I mean it is true to form that people don't think to mention Tony Hawk

This was pure looney toons logic, and i think it was inconsistent ? Bc i remember Robby was supposed to be Hannah’s manager, but not necessarily her dad. I suppose you could argue Robby was a one hit wonder so maybe he was not easily recognizable, but this always bothered me lmao

The power of nepotism

really remarkable that she came out through all that without going completely crazy

​@@deathmetal271 more like the power of disney

I used to research how her mum died back when i didn't know how fake the show is 😭 since hannah montana became a real life star, it was hard to tell sometimes

aw

Good dad

W Dad

I read somewhere that she's always been great to work with, being nice to everyone etc, which is even more impressing considering all the stress and her young age

Where do you live that you need medical records to get a license? A Stage Name is a legitimate thing. Plenty of people have a legal stage name that is also "legally" their name and not just something randomly used to hide an identity. Heck, a few entertainment unions do not allow two people in that union to have the same name Screen Actors Guild and Actor's Equity to name two. If you are just performing at dive bars and have a stage name it's one thing, but once you are as big as Hannah Montana is implied to be in the show you want LEGAL ties to OWNING your name. Many women run into this issue when they get married if they have been established under a certain name (men, less frequently, chose to change their name for marriage). So Hannah Montana is likely linked to enough things legally in some way that she could very well have a license that says Hannah Montana instead of Miley, but likely wouldn't have both without some legal issues as both names would be tied to the same SSN. It's really not a matter of if Hannah could have her own legal documents just a question of which she is "legally" in universe, Hannah or Miley. Both are possible as one is under no obligation to keep their birth name and many people do legally change to a stage name and have it on their documents instead of their birth name. In fact, Miley Cyrus herself was born Destiny Hope and changed it legally to Miley Ray in 2008. It's entirely possible she has enough documents in both names to get an ID or License in either name. Ridiculous Sit-com antics aside, what's stupid is that hair color makes a difference at all. People, especially women, frequently dye hair and wear wigs. And as long as you look like your picture, an updated hair color wouldn't make a difference.

​@TheDawnofVanlife most of the time you need your ssn and a birth certificate (medical record)

Robby Ray Stewart became such a sad character in season 4. He no longer cared about his health, becane just another "fat dad", and was barely involved with his children's lives. He was just .... there. I wonder if it had anythinv to do with Billy Ray Cyrus not caring about the character himself

Miley was tired of it but she was the only who ultimately was the one who decided to do the final season, Billy Ray gave her the choice since he knows how much the whole thing was for her. She knew the story wasn’t completely done yet by the season 3 finale, she just had more boundaries with Disney. She didn’t wanna do any tours, little to no photo shoots, no concerts, all she wanted to do was the show to finish the story. She wanted to break out the Disney image though, which Disney ended up completely removing everything that was Miley Cyrus from their brand and radio stations after she came out with Can’t Be Tamed. So she had to fund her own Miley tour in South America, and she wasn’t in Hollywood Records anymore

I used to watch it and the homies used to tease me.

Same I grew up with this show loving it but never once told anyone I watched it. My friends and I only ever talked about "manly" shows like Ben 10 or Beyblade lol

its 2 hours long because half of the video is just a review about each episode so I just turned it off

@@markfarago8846 yep same here. Trying to be Quentin without the effort

Elementary school/ middle school for me 🥰

I honestly don't think I've ever seen her without the wig and civilian clothes on.

​@@societycrumbles thats the point! lol

That’s exactly what I thought would be the better ending for the series as well rather than reveling the secret{Ya did it once in the movie Disney. Shouldn’t that be enough?} and showing she’ll never be a normal girl again. I felt depressed watching those final episodes in 2011.

That’s a great idea, it reminds me of what Carly decided to do with iCarly before moving away. I feel like the secret reveal was more impactful in the movie anyway, this would’ve been just as emotional. Also her reasons for revealing the secret were for other people, she didn’t seem ready. I like to think of revealing the secret as like a metaphor for being gay. That the other people around you have to make sacrifices for your secret, and you’ll never truly seem ready but it just takes courage. Your life won’t be perfect, but things can get better. No more Best of Both Worlds, all about being yourself

i disagree but only because that’s exactly what happened. the last episode shows miley giving up a movie role so she can go to college with Lilly. when she goes to Stanford you see that no one really cares that she’s miley so she’s able to live a relatively normal life as a college student. i think that was the show’s way of letting the audience know there will always be people who view miley as miley. we might’ve not seen miley live a normal life but the show ends in a place where it’s obvious that’s what she’ll do.

Like Carly ❤❤❤

@@crab2195 that’s a good point, college in some way is still an enclosed environment. Even famous people irl went and gained some normalcy: Noah Schnapp, the Sprouse Twins, Bridgit Mendler, Miranda Cosgrove, etc.

This is why I wish RU-vidrs wouldn't be hesitant to make videos about shows that have been covered by other RU-vidrs. If they vary in length and structure, then there's something for everyone! Plus I love longform YT vids, and I would (and have) watch different videos on the same topic if they had differences like that.

Alyson Stoner is so underrated. They definitely deserved more. Edited

@@gleek781 Oh my bad I'll fix that.

They use they/them pronouns

Most impactful? Nah, that honor goes to That's So Raven

Damn as soon as I read "cheese jerky" the song started playing in my head thanks a lot 😭

​@@musiclover_kb4913 revenue wise it was hm

​@@burnoverme me too lol

You just rocked my world. I had no idea she wore a wig!

Don't forget Jackson's girlfriend who he sneezed on, played by Kat Graham ❤ Bonnie from The Vampire Diaries

@@as19J01 who?

Also Larry David

No I didn’t realize because I don’t know who tf most of these randoms you’re saying are

gilbert gottfried

me TOO about the corridor!!

SAME ABOUT CORRIDOR LOL. why didn’t they just say hallway? that was such a weird word choice. i had to ask my grandma what the word meant to continue.

@@clarityvee lol right. Like the target demographic was I'm sure 7-12 yr olds. What 7 yr old knows what corridor means? The script writers needs to answer for their crimes. It happened 15 years ago and I always associate that word corridor with Hannah Montana 😭

I'm just so confused. Why did you guys not know what a corridor was?

@@Freaky0Nina Probably because I was 8 and didn't have a strong vocabulary yet.

Boy meets world would be a fire video

There is an amazing Boy Meets World retrospective thats an hour and a half long on Jose's channel (the channel is literally called Jose, he does alot of older show. I found him through his Golden Girls one) but anyways if youre looking for one like this, I highly recommend that video!!

The other singer/guitarist in the band is also Mitchell Musso’s brother, Mason! 🙂 if I recall correctly trace and mason met on the set on Hannah Montana.

Jordan can give Quinton a run for his money!

@@ericfasold805 agreed, i do like him tho

@@cyborgqueer The only Thing I don't like about QR is that he tends to talk really slow.

iCarly was absolutely better than Hannah Montana, it makes complete sense why that show was doing so much better than any Disney show. I feel like Nickelodeon show just seemed more mature, or at least didn’t have all these forced lessons and talking down to us

Nickelodeon was the "edgy" kids channel. Like Nickelodeon wasn't "adult" entertainment or anything. But like if you ranked Disney, Nick, and say Cartoon Network. Disney would be squeaky clean, Cartoon Network would be the channel you sneaked in a watch to "Adult Swim" and Nick was in the middle where you didn't feel like you'd get in trouble for watching it with the parents, but that the plots were allowed to be a little less squeaky clean then Disney. Meaning Hannah Montana's audience probably reached a point where they felt less talked down to and more embraced by the antics of an iCarly episode vs Hannah Montana. The weird thing is Miley started the Hannah Montana series at 12 and was like, what, 17 when it ended. And the character was a bit of a time capsule that didn't 'really' age and mature with the series.

@@TheDawnofVanlife I think Miley did mature in the end of the series. Through the majority of it she didn’t, but the build up to her revealing her secret definitely showed some maturity. Like she was constantly selfish in the show and everything revolves around her, and the I’ll Always Remember You episode (plus the Sienna episode) has her finally doing something big for other people

you have very good taste

omg same, growing up with the name hannah in this era was such an experience

i’m so thankful they didn’t do that, i would’ve been furious

Thanks so much!

I am so glad I wasn’t the only one 😂 I did not like her at all but I LOVED the show. I was weird 😆

Thanks so much for watching!
