Don’t know if that would hold true for a smaller act (did Eiffel 65 or Lou Bega start at RD? Don’t think the second one’s true…RD’s “Mambo” edit replaces all the women with Disney characters) but it’s still significantly different from the movement of some of, say, Miley Cyrus’s or Jonas Brothers’ material (though “See You Again” is weirder than Britney crossover OR Miley crossover, since it seems to have connected on mainstream radio before Radio Disney played it).

I do wonder whether or not an Iron and Wine song being featured in Twilight is the equivalent of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones headlining Clueless.

Honestly, I have more problems with Demi’s screaming…though when she nails it, she has quite a lot of promise.
