Miley Cyrus was 13 years old when she started performing as
Hannah Montana, but by the time
Hannah Montana 3 was released, she was nearly 17. That's a pretty big span of time in a teenager's life, but you'd never know it from listening to these songs: the
Hannah Montana franchise and its music haven't changed much over three seasons of the TV show that started it all, two movies, and five albums.
Hannah Montana 3 switches from fizzy pop to searching acoustic ballads like clockwork, repeats a couple songs from the
Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack (
"Let's Do This" and
"Let's Get Crazy"), and includes another song,
"Ice Cream Freeze (Let's Chill)," that sounds extremely similar to the soundtrack's
"Hoedown Throwdown." That feeling of familiarity extends to the songs that haven't appeared anywhere else. Whether it's the happy side of
Hannah (
"It's All Right Here," "Supergirl") or the reflective one (
"Mixed Up," "Don't Wanna Be Torn"), they sound very much like what came before them.
