5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Inspirational Song I've Heard In Quite Some Time, March 28, 2009

Some may think this song is for 'tweens' only and dismiss this because it's 'Disney' and from the Hannah Montana movie soundtrack. Personally, I couldn't care less that this girl is only 15 or 16 or whatever she is...all I know it that I get chills every time I listen to this song.

Sure, it's cliche in a way, and obviously written to be a commercial success. But, the songwriters here have done a fantastic job of crafting an extremely inspirational tune...I love the fact you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out the message of keeping the faith, battling through our struggles and never giving up. It hits me right in the gut and the heart.

It starts soft with just piano and Miley's vocal and builds to a soaring chorus with full instrumentation. Although I've never liked a Miley Cyrus song before, she excels this time around and leans toward her country roots, passionately and sincerely delivering the message in a way that can make a 42-year-old man like myself almost tear up. Laugh at me all you want, but before you do, really give this song a good listen, because I believe many can and will be inspired by "The Climb".

I don't write reviews. Mainly because the other reviews are to the point. One of the reviewers said that they got chills when they listened to this song. I know exactly what they mean. This song makes you look deep at yourself and lets you look forward to your own "clime"!

2.0 out of 5 stars One Word: Overproduced, September 8, 2009

I can appreciate talent, and I can appreciate young singers with vocal talent whose voices have not yet fully matured. What I cannot respect under any circumstance is overproduction in the vocal department.

Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb' has been one of the greatest, chart-topping songs this year alone. With previous songs such as 'Seven Things' and 'Fly on the Wall,' it was surprising to hear an inspirational piece on such a scope come from Miley, whom I never expected to attempt such a theme. But, despite the lyrics, and despite how well done the song might by done musically, it fails vocally, if only because it is overproduced. Compared to the studio, the live version is filled with so much nasal singing that it makes it almost unbearable to listen to.

Miley Cyrus, while an ambitious young woman, is no one to be admired musically. There are many more talented singers out there that deserve to have a record deal comparable to Cyrus'. Sadly, though, many of them will never get that chance because they don't fit the mold the music industry is trying to fill with vocally-untalented Disney Stars who will appeal to teens and preteens.

'The Climb' is beautiful--lyrically, not vocally.
