Miley Cyrus’ cover of Poison’s Every Rose Has Its Thorn a preview of career

The idea was recently tossed around that Miley Cyrus is ready to break out. She’s ready to shed her young-girl, Disney image in favor of a much more mature identity.

Spears and Aguilera are far from music queens, but the point is, moving away from the junior high, pre-teen image is natural. The criticism from most is in the way it is done.

Aguilera had a brief period in which she became slightly edgier, but quickly resorted to a more conservative look. Spears, on the other hand, chose to go the Lindsey Lohan route.

Vh1 is reviving the Divas show after a four year hiatus and has crowned a new crop of “sirens.” On tap to lead the all-star line up are Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus. Miley, who?!

That’s right Princess RiRi, we’re looking at you.
