Is Hannah Montana a good role model?

In an article discussing whether Hannah Montana/Miley Cirus is a good role model for teens the author, J. M. Rock, claims that she is a good role model for teens today. This article can be found at http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/407616/is_hannah_montana_the_right_role_model_pg2.html?cat=25. In the article, Rock commends Hannah for being so moderately dressed, having appropriate lyrics in her music, and for avoiding scandals. Contrary to Rock’s point of view, I would argue that Hannah is not a good role model for kids because of how inappropriate Hannah Montana is when it comes to her lack of modesty in her clothing, her questionable acting, and in appropriate dancing. This is not the kind of role model I want to see setting the trend for young girls to be admiring and copying.
Is Hannah Montana a role model that our younger generations should be admiring? Last christmas at a family gathering as we were flipping through the channels on the TV the Party in the USA music video came on. When my 4 year old cousin saw this she started dancing and singing along! It was adorable watching my cousin dance to the music, but it was disturbing to me that my 4 year old cousin admired Miley Cyrus to that extent. Her parents went on to say that she knows every Miley Cirus song and that she goes around the house singing them constantly! In the article, Rock defends Miley by saying that "Mylie Cyrus seems to be a down to earth girl, who's very kind and loves life. She is a wonderful role model for preteens and teenagers." It seems unclear to me what this information is based upon. It does not take a very long time of watching youtube videos before you can prove this statement wrong. For example, after watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxUr2ggLlhI it is clear to me that Miley is not such a wonderful role model for preteens and teenagers. There has been a lot talk about the section of the song when Miley performed a pole dance, but even if we were to ignore that disturbing section of the song, her clothing selection was very inappropriate and not something that I ever want to see my sister dressed in. In the article, Rock states that "even in full blown Hannah Montana mode the character is always fully clothed, meaning there are no flashes of belly buttons from cropped tops and not once is her bottom exposed by wearing pants that are slung just a little too low." There was nothing about the video that I just watched that confirmed this statement truth, and if that wasn’t enough evidence take a look at this! Even if Miley Cirus used to be modest in clothing choices, this has changed. Now she is encouraging modeling in a towel! As comfirmed by my 4 year old cousin, Miley Cirus's audience starts at a very young age. It saddens me to think that so many young girls admire Miley and want to be just like her. If my 4 year old cousin was to walk around dressed in the same attire that Miley Cyrus clothes herself in, many would be appalled. My cousin, along with thousands of other little girls, follow Miley’s every move. Is this really the best role model that America can come up with for our future generations?
