Miley Cyrus: 'Party In The USA'

Released on Monday, Oct 26 2009

It's hard deciding what the best bit of this single actually is. There's the Britney line, the "nodding my head like yeah" thing (which makes complete sense despite making no sense), and of course the moment our heroine realises she's definitely not at a Nashville party: "All I see are stilettos / I guess I never got the memo."

Then again, maybe it's tough picking a best bit because the whole thing's so bloody good? Produced by Dr Luke, 'Party In The USA' is a midtempo pop track with a naggingly catchy guitar riff, a slight hip-hop influence - yes, really! - and a chorus so joyous it could make Katie Price crack a smile. The result? The third great Miley single after 'See You Again' and 'Fly On The Wall', but probably the toppermost of the lot. ('Hoedown Throwdown' gets an honourable mention too, of course.)

Lewis not everyone will agree with you. We are all different and entitled to our own opinions. Accept that! As much as I hate Miley Cyrus and her music this was the only song that was decent from her... Doesn't mean I like her or her music though

I read the 5 star reviews like Nick Levines and the ones below who actually listened to the song and then I read the 1 star reviews where none of you have actually said anything about the song, just quoted on how Miley and her "pole dancing". Disregarding Miley's antics and how "overrated" she may be, this song is, in fact, very good. It's a great party tune that I still have on my Ipod and it just brings a smile to my face when I listen to it. Get over it guys, Miley Cyrus can give us a good tune.

the song is ok nothing to jump up down for. although she sang and wrote the climb she didn't get a number one with it. which means joe has done a better job with it. when is she going to grow up and when is she going to act like a teenager. stop being childish. yuk annoying.

I honestly feel like laughin at the people who refuse to listen to mileys music yet trash it this song is very good probably not as good as the climb but it definitley is good

Miley Cyrus is unbelievably overrated. Only the 'tweens' who are also in love with the Twilight crap and Disneymania

Hate this song. Miley Cyrus is so phony and plastic and fake it is unbelievable

Susan, Manchester, on December 13th, 2009
Terrible song. Seriously, I don't have a problem with the girl, but this song is whiny and horrible, and a complete 360 degrees turn from the fantastic 'The Climb'

Rachel, Perth, on December 12th, 2009

This song gets five stars?! I suppose the reviewer was obviously turned on by her pole-dancing at the Teen Choice Awards

Leigh, on December 7th, 2009
This song gets 5 stars, yet other great songs, from better musician get 4 or 3. Shocking, yet not surprising.

This song has everything that a great pop tune needs. It's catchy, it's nice and I also like the video.

Mandy, London, on October 31st, 2009
For some reason music is crap today. For some reason people buy crap music, and for some reason this sorry excuse for a 'song' has been awarded 5 stars!!!! The whole world has officially gone mad!!!!!!!!

Isabella, Westminster, on October 30th, 2009
This is literally just shocking. Seriously! I'll admit the tune is catchy and probably will satisfy the tweens, who frankly, are satisfied with anything, but anyway, the song is sung horribly by Cyrus and does NOT deserve 5 stars. I am very appalled DS.
