Though Miley Cyrus has a successful career, even she understood it may have seemed a little odd to have her mentor contestants who were mostly older than she is.In many ways, Tuesday was a typical night on “American Idol.” Crystal Bowersox was good, Paige Miles and Tim Urban were bad, Ellen DeGeneres compared one singer to a pen and quoted Oliver Twist to praise another ... you know, the usual.
But that wasn’t why people tuned in. The big story was the guest mentor, Miley Cyrus — or as Crystal’s child probably knows her, Hannah Montana. Now she’s looking to evolve from those tween idol roots into bigger, better and slightly more serious things, and what better way to do that than to offer advice to the “Idol” finalists.
Of course, the advice that worked best for her was “Get your own show on the Disney Channel,” but that wouldn’t be practical for someone like Andrew Garcia, as Disney Channel stars tend not to have neck tattoos. Beyond that, what advice could someone younger than all but two of the 11 finalists possibly have about how succeed in the music business?
She acknowledged that herself, saying, “I know how talented they are, so I was like, ‘How am I going to tell them what they are doing wrong when I don’t really see it?’ ” Miley, don’t worry. Ellen is still asking herself that very same question every week.
