I personally think her music is extremely mediocre and her (over)acting grates on my nerves, but my 8 year old sister loves her. Part of the appeal is definitely her attitude. I've watched the show with my sister plenty of times, and Miley/Hannah is kind of a little smart-ass, which the kids think is hilarious. She's also very "goofy," making big, exaggerated faces (think Raven Symone) and getting into awkward/embarrassing situations.
When she performed at the Houston Rodeo, she set a new record for ticket sales/attendance, which pissed a lot of people off because the Rodeo Conert Series is traditionally about showcasing country artists. When Miley broke that record, it was sort of an indignity and a slap in the face to country superstars like Alan Jackson, George Strait, Brooks and Dunn, and Clay Walker who have been performing there for years.
If they're going to charge people to sign up for this club with the promise of advance ticket purchases, discounts, or other benefits, they need to be delivering on that promise. No excuses. Miley would still be a nobody and Billy Ray a has-been if her fans weren't so generous. They're not the people to start screwing over when she gets big.
