Miley Cyrus' hit single, "Party In The USA" is ranked number five this week on Billboard's Hot 100. And despite making everyone believe that she party's to Jay-Z and Britney Spears' music, as her lyrics claim, Cyrus recently admitted she has never even heard a Jay-Z song. To make matters worse the Pop Icon went on to disclose that she doesn't listen to Pop Music or particularly even like it.
The interview with Cyrus took place last week prior to her Halloween concert in Louisville and was later posted on MileyWorld.com. When she was asked by the interviewer what specific Jay-Z song inspired the line in "Party In The USA" in which a Jay-Z song plays on the radio she responded quite frankly stating: "I don't know, I didn't write the song, so I have no idea. Honestly, I picked that song because I needed something to go with my clothing line. I didn't write it [and] I didn't expect it to be popular, originally. It was just something that I wanted to do and I needed some songs and it turned out for the best."
But her answer to the question that followed is what most find simply stunning. When asked if she was a Jay-Z fan and could at least identify with the lyrics she boldly proclaimed, "I've never heard a Jay-Z song. I don't listen to pop music. 'Party in the U.S.A.' is not even my style of music. I'm really blessed for it to have done as well as it has. Totally blessed. God has definitely put me in an amazing position with amazing people."
This interview and Cyrus' blunt honesty leaves her fans reeling in confusion and stirs controversy for the Disney star yet once again.

That's funny.
That's good. What's wrong with being honest?
YEAH I KNOW SHE ROCKS THOUGH I WENT TO HER CONCERT
i love your son party in the usa
glad to hear she doesn't write her own music but she's in the music business. if more people would support bands that write and perform their own music, maybe we'd all be listening to better music?
i guess i like SOME of her songs but im not a huge fan. well i mean atleast she told the truth. it would have been worse if she said she HAD listened to a Jay-Z song and everyone found out she was a poser. i just think she needs to remember her influence on her YOUNGER fans before she does or says anything stupid.
OMG FREAK OUT! bug deal geez atleast she told the truth.
As Dave Chapelle once said...
WHEN KEEPIN IT REAL GOES WRONG
i love you son party in the usa
ok shes a pop singer and shes saying that she doesn't listen to pop music? what
Okaay thats weird, i know that she just telling the truth but seriously she could have said it in a different way or something. but i still love her i mean at least she did not lie and thats whats important right??
Anyways rock on Miley :D
It was so funny to read this article but hey, it's awesome she's being honest but strange that she doesn't like pop but she is a pop musician. Oh well! Keep on rocking Miley! ;)
That makes me love her more!
NOT. Stupid brat.
I agree with sean.
because jay-z is a pop artist....?
At least she's honest.
I could care less if she's never listened to any of it, I'm still going to dance to this song and sing really off-key every single time it comes on =]
Who cares, whatever! It's still a fun song. Whether she's a fan of pop or not, doesn't mean you can't jam out. People make to big of deal with this kind of stuff!
Haha wow she doesent write her own lyrics? I agree with sean
i think shes just doing her job and getting paid i dont even think she likes doing any of this stuff and the first thing i hear people say when she performed this song at the teens choice award is that shes trying to beat everyone with these roles. and shes not that pretty but shes manipulating the jonas brothers to brag about her and carry on this relationship. which actually hurts my feelings because i really adore her and
shes better then you think other wise she wouldnt be this famous i mean she has been winning awards and getting her own company in place. i dont know i personally think shes better then anyone says she is other wise she a littl girl a littl younger than i am and i really root her on with this.
this bitch is stupid, JAY-Z a pop singer? wow
i give her 3 more year, her career will be over,and she will posing for playboy
I cant blame a girl whos raised by a family who works and grew up in a buissness where if you sell your soul youll get everything you want. She doesnt run her life, her lable wants her to maintain a certain image for a fan base they feel will make them the most money, I am so afraid for my generation (im only 19) and i can already see Hollywood destroying so many minds with all the bull hype about what to love and brainwashing people to think having material things will make you happy. Trust me it wont. Turn off the tv and computer and make a life for yourself instead of feeding into the commercialisation bull
great job on following your OWN dreams, Miley...SMH..if you don't like pop music, why are you singing it..follow your passion, NOT what others have chosen for you..
well, jesus. what are our children learning from this so called 'role model'. shes a manipulative, skanky teenager hiding behind a veil of 'pop' fame. i am sick of people defending her, really, they need to grow themselves a brain (capable of discrimination) and think of the wider picture. but the brainwashed CHILDREN saying 'how much they love miley' will never stop. after all, they are controlled my media giants who turned disney from an innocent source of entertainment that us of the older generation remember into a corporate machine, hijacking minds and wallets. she didnt even write the bloody song! pathetic.
at least she told the truth and so who cares if she didnt write the song her self EVERYONE STILL LOVES HER!!!!!!!!!!
hi!miley hw r u love u
she told the truth . what else? the song is really cool. doesn't these kind of situation arise with all of us. we don't know some stuff or celebs properly n we too don't like what we do sometimes. common grow up. try to be good human beings "haters"
Holy cow!
Actually she does write her own music she said she didn't write "Party in the U.S.A. I guess you tards think that every musician out there writes all their material, we maybe in the past but not anymore! At least the kid actually sings at her shows which is alot more than I can say about alot of the twats we have out there claiming to be singers then lip-synch every show! So what if she doesn't really care for the song, I bet alot of artists hate certain songs but sing them because the fans enjoy them. And as far as not caring for "pop" music, so what? Its kinda forced upon her to do that sort of music being she got famous for "Hannah Montana" and Hannah is a freaking pop singer, and no one wants her to be Miley Cyrus they want her to be friggin Hannah the rest of her life and that just won't happen! Because the kid is gonna grow up and most likely eventually get married and have kids of her own! And you can call Jay-Z, hip-hop, rap ect., but the truth is he crossed over to poop!
also, i don't know when the music business became a brand game. each band creates their own brand, then sells it. meaning that they put out music, dvd's, clothes, TV shows, movies, boardgames, coloring books, halloween costumes, handbags etc, while they forget about the quality of their music. music won't be music until it get's back to a band making music and enjoying to do so. since she got this song "for her clothing line" that's a good sign that it's not changing anytime soon. everyone in music is doing this, but i don't see me buying anything from bob dylan's clothing line anytime soon. yea, he may not be your cup of tea, but he knows what he's doing.
Its funny that people hate on her for doing something she doesnt necessarily like or enjoy...like all of us are doing what we love and enjoy, no we are working a job that we probably dont really like but hey it pays the bills right! For the people who think she's a bad roll model...look at your own kid she's probaly just a reflection of what they are all doing not because they follow her.
it's not a big deal really.im not that much into him either,although,he's really awesome.
I hate Jay-Z. He is a horrible person. A rapper, of course.
fckin dumb slut
Eu tambem nunca ouvi falar, mas oque que tem ela cantar a música deela ?
lol. She is right. And she PWNED Jigga. Why is it so hard for some Jay-Z stans to swallow that everyone does not listen to Jay-Z? Since the Black Album, he has become a pop artist. A former rapper being called a pop artist by a pop artist is not that funny. Since Jay-Z is a pop artist now.
she is dumb
i love miley cyrus
Honestly, I don't believe she hasn't heard a jay z song ever.
didn't jay z do a collaboration with Linkin park for numb?
Also, what about award shows?
You're trying to say that not once in your sixteen years have you never heard a snippet of any of his songs, which are many, at the shows or on the radio/tv.
In a way it's kind of contradictory, when she says she's never heard a song but proceeds to say she'll never do a jay z cover.
How can you say you won't do a cover, if you've never heard the song?
It might be an amazing song for all you know.
oh and, one more thing, if you're in the music industry, which you inevitably are, I'd expect for you to know some kind of big artists...
no matter the genre.
I think she thinks her songs are like rock.
if anything it's pop rock.
eu sou do brasil e muita gente aqui escuta o jay-z principalmente os brasileiros e os flamenguistas assim como eu ja que jay-z veio ao brasil assistir o jogo do flamengo e falou que é flamenguista e eu sou mais jay-z que miley cyrus eu ate assitia o programa dela na sky mais agora nunca mais ela é mais uma riquinha filhinha de papai que se acha e gente assim so vive mal.100% JAY-Z,50 cent e racionais'mc
