Last night’s show in Oakland brought one resounding theme out for parents: “wear your earplugs”. This show was great a lived up to the hype and mania behind Hannah Montana. “She’s a young girl who all the other young girls want to be like,” said Hayward resident Melissa Martinez, who brought her 8-year-old daughter, Ericka, to the show. “Every day, my little girl comes home and she’s got to watch ‘Hannah Montana.’ ”

According to the Mercury News, “Watching the kids react to the show, it was easy to draw comparisons to other pop-music phenomenoms from the past - like ‘N Sync, Britney and, even, the Beatles. For some in attendance, however, there’s simply no comparison. One of those folks was Castro Valley’s Sarah Luzuriaga, who brought her 9-year-old nieces, Kaylei Mae Long and Cori Ann Long, to the concert.”
“This,” she said, “is bigger than the Beatles for the girls.”
