Hannah Montana

The Hannah Montana train -- which is ever so slowly turning into the Miley Cyrus train as the years go by -- continues with Best of Both Worlds Concert, the CD/DVD set to accompany the Hannah/Miley concert film of the same name. To be clear, the DVD in this set does not contain the concert film; it has a pair of live performances and some miscellaneous behind-the-scenes footage (thereby necessitating the purchase of the film separately). Instead, this is a soundtrack containing 14 songs from the movie split evenly between the fictional Hannah character and Miley herself, although anybody who doesn't follow the show can be forgiven for not noticing the difference between the two personas, as they do sound pretty similar on the surface. Of course, Best of Both Worlds Concert isn't for anybody who doesn't follow the show; this is another souvenir for those fans who can't live without the show, and in that regard it's perfectly fine -- a nice, polished piece of product that will tide them over until the next new Hannah/Miley album comes along (the safe money is on speculation that it will be the first full-fledged Miley Cyrus album at this stage). ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
