The release of Miley Cyrus’ fifth studio album, “Bangerz”, on Oct. 4, 2013 was either highly criticized or extremely loved by fans. Ever since her famous VMA performance, Cyrus has stayed as rebellious as ever.

People always notice her wild and daring outfits, but never realize the raw talent she has. As the first song of the album, “Adore You” is a beautiful love song that is very different from the rest of her songs. Cyrus has come far since “Hannah Montana.”

She first released the single, “We Can’t Stop”, which became very controversial. Following, came the release of another hit single, “Wrecking Ball.” The music video to this brought crazy popularity.

“Miley has amazing talent. Her voice is really something special. Even though people are all annoyed with her wild ways of getting attention, I really don’t mind it at all,” said Jory Gould, 10.

A lot of her songs reference her being a southern belle, resurfacing her background living as a southern gal. In the song, “Do My Thang,” she sings, ‘I’m a southern belle, we crazier-.”

“Miley’s new album may be a little more out of the box than her past songs, but I really enjoy her new, different style of singing,” said Lily Retford, 9.

On the other hand, not everyone is a fan of Cyrus. To them, she has turned herself from a tween role model to a irrational pop star. Her daring actions leave some people disgusted and annoy

“I don’t really like Cyrus. I don’t appreciate her way of expressing herself. It seems all she wants is attention,” said Maya Sheth, 10.

Amy Deng, Managing Editor
Hello! My name is Amy Deng and I am a senior at Sycamore High School. This is my fourth year on staff and I currently hold the position of managing editor for the print magazine, The Leaf. My job is to design the style sheet, mentor new students, and oversee the design process of the print platform. I enjoy writing articles on multiple genres, including feature, news, and sports. In particular, I work with several design programs such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop to create pages and layouts for the Leaf. I joined journalism hoping to experience hands-on news coverage and to improve my writing skills. Over the years, I have grown to enjoy and value my experiences in the classroom. Through collaborating with other staff members, I have developed and improved my communication and leadership skills; and through working as a team, we have been able to produce an award-winning, student-run news magazine. I am excited for the new year and can’t wait to see what it holds! More about myself: I have always been involved with sports ever since I was a child. I participated in synchronized swimming for seven years and am currently a part of the school varsity swim team and during the offseason I am part of a club team, BASH. In addition, I have always been passionate about my cultural roots which is why I am the vice president of the Chinese Club. My role is to lead club presentations and organize bi-weekly activities. I also volunteer at Bethesda North Hospital as an escort where I discharge patients. Additionally, my favorite hobby is listening to music. I enjoy a wide span of genres and a few of my favorite artists include: Two Door Cinema Club, Mac Demarco, Beach House, Bon Iver, Chance the Rapper, Childish Gambino, and Stevie Wonder.
