I left this story late to document as I didn’t want to jump straight to conclusions as other websites seem to do, so here is my bit. In this video, you can see that the dancer in the green T-shirt is covering Hannah Montana up and helping her hide under the backstage ‘trapdoor’ at this concert.



Less than a second later after the door closes Hannah supposedly comes out again, but it’s not her really -sorry but this person cannot dance! I’m sure some of you saw photos of this ‘body double’ and she’s easily identifiable as not being Hannah - in fact she is one of her backup dancers(?).

So, why is she doing this? Well everyone jumped to conclusions and accusing Hannah Montana of being a fake as well as lip sync, etc. Afterall, how does she sing after she goes backstage ? I don’t know… well actually I do - she doesn’t.

I also know that I agree with her representative who said:

“To help speed the transition from Hannah to Miley, there is a production element during the performance of “We Got The Party” incorporating a body double for Miley.”

Indeed, he admits that Hannah isn’t the one singing live after the body double comes out;

“…a body double appears approximately one to two minutes prior to the end of the song in order to allow Miley to remove the Hannah wig and costume and transform into Miley for her solo set. Other than during this very brief transitional moment in the show, Miley performs live during the entirety of both the Hannah and Miley segments of the concert.”

Okay, so what’s the big deal? I don’t think Miley’s organizers made the wisest choice in organizing the feature like this and they should have found other ways of dealing with the transition but there it is why it was necessary. Is seeing a body double of Hannah Montana acceptable when you are expecting to see the ‘real thing’ ? Well, that is for you to decide.

In my opinion, the concert is all about having fun and making the audience live and feel connected. If two minutes of a fake Hannah is what it takes to achieve this, then it is reasonable - afterall, Miley does her best to achieve this atmosphere for the rest of the concert and unfortunately these accusations are aimed at her.

Everyone who went to her concert had fun, was pleased and satisfied so their goal to serve the audience is achieved (whatever that may take). But then again… the media needs something controversial and accusative to talk about as otherwise they wouldn’t have what food to lay on the table.
