They have both been child stars.
They’re both making big news with their new music.
But that is where the parallels start to run out.
Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus are the most talked about female pop stars of the moment (sorry Britney). But where Cyrus -- and Spears before her -- went trashy when they said goodbye to their teens, Grande is managing to attract attention without showing off an R-rated side. Or even a PG-13 one.
Last week her debut studio album, “Yours Truly,” shot to number one on the U.S. Billboard charts, making Grande the first female artist to debut at number one since Ke$ha’s “Animal” in 2010, and only the 15th to do so in history. And Grande did it without riding wrecking balls naked or dancing in a bikini with a boa constrictor!
