Making Mileys, Disney's Teen Star Factory

TIME wrote an article about how Disney will replace Miley someone new soon: Bridgit Mendler is a willowy, blond teen with a sweet singing voice and decent comic timing. She's also the show-biz equivalent of the next iPhone, a young Disney star-in-waiting. Mendler, 16, is getting the full Disney Channel rollout.

Introduced with recurring guest spots on two of its hit shows, Jonas and Wizards of Waverly Place, she will star in her own series, Good Luck Charlie, in 2010. Bridgit said: 'I've been told to brace myself. If we have the success I hope we have with the show, everything will change.'

Mendler is following a path to fame the channel has mapped over the past three years as it has launched serial stars into orbit: the supernova Miley Cyrus in 2006, Selena Gomez in 2007, the Jonas Brothers in 2008 and Demi Lovato this year.

Each of these youngsters was given a TV show, the so-called zitcom, followed usually by a recording contract with Disney-owned Hollywood Records, songs in heavy rotation on Radio Disney and on Disney-movie sound tracks, a concert tour with Disney-owned Buena Vista Concerts and tie-in merchandise throughout the Disney stores. Miley & Co. are like modern Mouseketeers, but instead of M-I-C-K-E-Y, they spell C-A-S-H. Full article HERE.

Wow, I like Bridiit Mendler but people need to start to realize nobody is going to change their name to Miley Cyrus so they can be famous.

no one can replace miley. selena is doin her own thing and so is demi. im so fed up wit all tht shit and bridgit can never be as good as miley,demi,or selena.

I love Brigit but I don't see her ever being a superstar like Miley. Her show doesn't sound like it will be as successful as Hannah or Wizards but hey maybe the girl can sing. I KNOW will find out if she can. It would be against the disney rules if we didn't ahahaha.

Of course they will, Brifgit Mendler is way more talented that her, plus Miley is starting to act like a slut. But I dont think that will take her out od show-biz either

miley is 16 and bridget is 16.
if they were trying to replace her wouldn't they try to get someone,oh i don't know, YOUNGER? like 12-14?

ANYWAY, I DON'T SEE MILEY GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON. at all.
she's built a huge empire and people still care about her.

disney hit the jackpot with this girl and they shouldn't let her go.
bridget mendler would never replace miley. what are they thinking?

Uh, didn't they already try and fail with this "miley replacement" formula twice in a row? Selena and Demi are successful but not the same way Miley is. Miley is an international superstar. Demi and Selena are just plain stars. But they are all talented and I wish Brigit nothing but good luck.

I thought Debby Ryan was the "next Miley"? In between Selena and Bridget being the "next Miley"?

Hasn't Disney learned that NONE of these girls they come up with will ever be as big as Miley?

the thing is, they arent going to have 'the next miley' until a whole new generation comes up. miley hasnt aged out of the system yet. they are going to have to come up with a concept as big as hannah montanna. the HSM/HM era is its own. trying to recreate it is going to continue to fail. they have to go somewhere else to make it work.

im pretty sure she can NOT replace MILEY i mean come on its MILEY CYRUS for crying out loud i mean Selena is a very talented girl and very famous but she still hasn't even topped miley and i dnt think Bridget mendler will even become that famous like miley,Selena,or demi cause her show dosent sound good like Hannah Montana or wizards like seriously she probably wont even be more famous then Selena or demi haha and i have a feeling MILEY isn't going out of SHOWBIZ for a while, maybe out of Disney but not out of the industry:]
PS i love MILEY

If I were Brigit or Selena, I would be pissed that they always brought up Miley. No one really calls Demi the new Miley anymore cuz she's kind of established a name for herself with her album being number 1 this year. But they still call Selena the new Miley. Ever since Hilary Duff they have been trying this formula of pushing their stars to do everything and only JB and Miley have really captivated the equivilant of Hilary's success.

It's so annoying how people always say "The New Miley Cyrus". No. There's only 1 Miley, and honestly I don't think Disney is going to find anyone else as successful as she was/is.

Of course it's going to but what people are saying is that it isn't going to happen while Miley is still on disney. When she is in her 20's im sure yeah there will be a "new Miley" just like Miley was the "new hilary" but right now none of the disney stars they are trying to make the "new miley" have even touched Miley's success.

nah! brigit does not have miley IT factor just like selena and demi did not have it.

Miley was born with the magic dust around her to charm people with her personality.

Brigit don't have that star power plus she too old to become the next miley cyrus for that leave miley until she is 21 instead.

Yeah, exactly. If they really want to even try to successfully replace her, they need to start their "new miley" out when she is 13 or 14 like they did with Miley. Brigit will soon be too "old" for disney. She won't have the time to grow like Miley did.

i am sick of all these disney hos doing the acting/singing thing. if y'all are actresses, ACT. if y'all are singers, SING. THE END.

the only reason miley was able to do both was because her show is basically about singing anyway. enough with this bs, disney. come up with a new strategy.

It must suck to be Bridget Mendler.

Disney and the media dubbed Demi and Selena "the next Miley" also.

They need to let these new people make a name for themeselves, not expect them to live up to Miley.

Miley was Hilary's replacement and believe it or not, one day Miley will have a replacement as well, and it's completely possible that she will be as big as Miley, if not bigger. As the caliber of their stars appears to increase with each new generation. One day, Miley will be relaced you guys. Granted it will probably not be untill she's a little bit older and it will be with someone younger than she is.

Disney does have a formula. That's true enough. But JB did it backwards cause they were a band first & made cds first. Then they did Camp Rock & the show. Where as everyone else on Disney started on tv shows & DCOMs, and then got turned into recording artists. Though Demi & Miley have kind of always done music along with acting. HM is music based & When the Bell Rings(or whatever the shows name was Demi was on) usually had Demi singing.

that was a long term example. but even now, still possible. the same way she quickly took the spotlight off of HSM. as soon as disney can think of there 'next big idea' she yes, will be replaced. especially on disney. the hannah phase is coming to close. id expect very soon something will take.

Miley won't be replaced by any 16+ year old. Miley was 13 when she hit it big as Hannah. They should focus on a 13 year old, not a 16 year old. The public loves children. Miley(or HM more accurately) will be replaced by a 13 year old.

OUisstupid OUisstupid said:

Everyone know that the Disney Company is like a machine, pumping out new teen stars one after another. Time Magazine did a piece focusing on Disney’s formula and the steps they now take to ensure their stars stick around (and Disney profits of them more) in “Making New Mileys: Disney’s Teen-Star Factory”.

The article begins with Good Luck, Charlie star Bridgit Mendler, who is being touted as Disney’s “Next Big Thing”. Time says:

“Mendler is following a path to fame the channel has mapped over the past three years as it has launched serial stars into orbit: the supernova Miley Cyrus in 2006, Selena Gomez in 2007, the Jonas Brothers in 2008 and Demi Lovato this year.”

The article is very interesting, and worth a read. It definitely highlights how Disney does its best to make money off their young stars. One thing I did not know is Disney has now implemented a “Talent 101? seminar for their upcoming teen stars (note: this seminar is for the stars of Disney who have shows that have not aired yet). According to Time, “It includes instruction from security experts, media-relations consultants and psychologists.”

You can read the whole article HERE

It does not surprise me at all that Disney is now taking further steps to teach and mold their young stars, especially the lengths they are taking to keep up the Disney squeaky clean image. Disney’s first super successes, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, are most likely going to be moving on from the Mouse House within the next 12 months, more or less. Disney needs to find a new set of stars (Mendler and perhaps Debby Ryan) to fill the void left by Miley and Selena.

oooo why stoop down to her level?

I think Miley's gonna be just like HDuff. After Disney drops her, it's over. She'll do some "indie" movies to prove her "cred", and a few more "mature" albums, but this is really the height of her career right now.

she seems like a good actress, but i really doubt that she will ever be as big as miley, selena, or demi.
she seems like the girl that has a show, but wont be in the spotlight like the others.
but whatever, i wish her the best...

Bridgit seems nice and sweet but Miley has an unique energy who is hard to get. I think that If Bridgit turns into the next Miley, Miley will turn to the next pop princess that's all i have to say.

PS: I'm not a miley fan

the question is.. will little kids(majority of her fans) still like her and her new projects? since they all started liking her because of hannah montana. little kids are the reason for her success.. without them she wouldn't be this far. AND without hannah montana. maybe they're grow with her and maybe they'll grow out of her and not like her anymore once they grow up.

Madonna can sing my dad was saying about how you should have heard her back in the day. Same with britney i found this video of when britney was 8 and damn that girl had some pipes on her. But since then she kinda wnet downhill but it don't really matter because the whole point of the director comparing her with Madonna is that madonna is the best selling female artist if all time worldwide think about that...

pft. pft. said:

but as you said, someone new comes in when some else is on their way out. i dont mean HM is coming to a close only in terms of episodes. i mean in terms of interest. HM had a good run but up and coming kids are going to start lookin for something new, back to their age again. its nothing bad. but this would be the time the shift starts to be made.

naahh. i rememeber when 'metamorphosis' came out. it was crazy. id imagine some of you were the early high school age when that cd came out. she was big. definitely comparebale.
*********
true. Hilary was just as big as Miley, but in a completely different way because that was 6 years ago when she was her most famous and that was before the days of crazy paparazzi and itunes. I was in 8th grade when the Lizzie Mcguire movie came out, and I remember everyone making a huge deal over it, same with metamorphosis.

- Miley has sold over 14 million albums worldwide.

- Barbara Walters named Miley one of "2008's Most Fascinating People"

- Time Magazine named her one of the "Most Influential People in the World"

- Miley was on the Hollywood Reporters "2009 Most Powerful Women in Entertainment" list. She is the youngest person in the publication's history to make the list at age 16.

- Miles To Go, her first autobiography/memoir reached #1 on "The New York Times" best-seller list with over 1 million copies sold at the age of 16.

- She is the youngest person in history to have two #1 albums in less than a year.

- She is the youngest person in history to have four #1 consecutive albums.

- She was a 2007 Academy Awards presenter, one of the youngest presenters in the history of the Academy Awards at age 15.

So, still think Bridgit Mendler can live up to be the 'Next Miley Cyrus'?

hannah still gets the best ratings of all the disney shows lol

XD XD said:

why does everyone think that any new girl can replace Miley? They think Selena would, but she didn't. They think Demi would, and she didn't either. Now they think Briget would...and I'm saying she won't. Period. Miley is Miley and no one would ever be like her. And in the words of Joe Jonas: "No one is as famous as Miley Cyrus"

Stewie Stewie said:

If I were a 16 year old girl, I would not even consider Disney until Miley left. As long as she's there, these girls will be in her shadow. Disney needs to wait until Miley is an adult and out of disney before they start grooming the replacement.

Anonymous Anonymous said:

well first she needs to be romantically linked to nick jonas in at least 5 articles.

THEN she can be the next miley.

it's a rite of initiation.

pft. pft. said:

well that doesnt make their success different. just an added sense of immediacy. but their success is still extremely comparable, marketing included.

selena is going to leave a void? lol.
no offence but it should be miley & jb. not selena, demi maybe; but selena?

Miley is not following Hilary's footsteps dough What Hilary done she was kinda dumb she thought doing loads of non-disney movies will get you respect well she was wrong MOST of the non-disney movie hilary don't floped. I would say Miley is following Lindsey's career doing disney movies so disney can still support her wait till she can make it on her own and then go. I think miley should do this it is a MUCH smarter career move

Miley & Co. are like modern Mouseketeers, but instead of M-I-C-K-E-Y, they spell C-A-S-H

Could not have put it better myself.

& no, nobody is here to "replace" Miley. They are trying to use the same formula which made Miley so big in the first place, so that they can replicate the success, thus it ending up in $$$$$$$$!

Seriously its not that hard to understand. I don't understand why Miley fans feel so threatened. *shrugs*

Honestly DIsney is going downhill after Hannah Montana. I don't even watch Disney anymore because it has gotten so bad.

miley's doing the last song, which is expected to flop b/c it's pg13, and she's also doing summit movies such as wings

selena's actually more popular than demi. and just because she doesn't have a #1 album on the charts doesn't mean she isn't going to be a "void"....

Cherry Cherry said:

Show me an article where it states that it is expected to flop.

This chick isn't replacing anyone.

Disney got VERY big since HSM&HM soo now they know how to get ratings, viewers etc etc.

Disney has such a strong and smart management. DISNEY itself is BIG, they get at least a million per day from JB,Miley, DISNEY WORLDS, Selena, Demi etc.

But i dont believe that Melder will replays MIley..no one can. But I dont like her, she doesnt seem so special, she has this simple look that just doesnt grab your attention. but i do think people will watch her, b/c disney is gonna let her be 'friends' with Miley, or have a 'fued' with her OR let her hang with JB, like that they are 'dating'. ALL PUBLICITY! just like selena and nick. We'll see..Let the rumors start -.-

She seems to palin to replace Miley IMO.

Stewie Stewie said:

It's PG-13 rated horror movies that flop, not dramas. Jennifer's Body for example. I think the Last Song is expected to do well because the release date was moved from the dumping ground(January) to around Easter weekend.

pft. pft. said:

for one, i am assuming you meant 'viewership' since ratings do not relate to interest. which is why i still say what i did. younger kids are evetually going to start lookin for somethin new. i dont exactly think miley is looking for HM to keep her afloat in the first place.

Delsy Delsy said:

are you kidding? lol dude a cinderella story was huuuuuuuuge when it came out, i still remember it. and 2005 wasn't that long ago, lmfao. illegal downloading existed then and now.

-----------

BUT its so much huger now EVERYONE has a computer so it is larger illegal downloaded in creases so much in the peroids 2004-2007 in 2008 when the 1 billionth computer was bought it reached a sky high. Also i said MOST a cinderella story was huge but it was just about her only huge-main character movie

do you love some one on disney? miley ? selena? or some one else well love them while you can because disney throws them away as fast as they build them up. they use them to make money then they are gone into obscurity and disney donest care about you they just want your money.

thats it money.

GOOD LUCK DISNEY.

HAHA.
HAVENT YOU HEARD?
MILEY IS IRREPLACEABLE (:

Disney needs to stop calling these girls the "new Miley" because no one that is Miley''s same or older is going to replace her. This gilr doesn't have the star quality to be the next MC.

Find me another Disney star that was nominiated for a Golden-Globe.

What she's trying to say is that Selena and Demi are international stars and Selena is more famous than Demi. I couldn't understand her more hahaha.
