July 2013 Playlist

July 2013 by Jonessa Mendoza on Grooveshark Here's a playlist that makes me feel young. Ironically though, most of the songs here are a departure from the cutesy music these gals have been making when they were still Disney/Nickelodeon artists. Listen to them now and (maybe take a look at the provocative music videos too while you're at it) you'll know that they have finally abandoned the saccharine sweet images they once had. Still, their songs "feel" young to me in spite of their efforts in looking and sounding mature. Maybe 'coz I've grown up alongside them and will always remember them as redheaded Cat Valentine of Victorious, Miley Stewart of Hannah Montana, and Alex of Wizards of Waverly Place that make it impossible for them to grow up in my eyes. They've been getting a lot of flak for their racy music and videos, but I realize now that that can only be the "soundest" (pun definitely intended) approach to shedding their teenybopper images (just keep it classy!). Because really, no matter what they do, they'll always be little Miley, Selena, and Ariana to their fans. XO.
