"TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- This is how hot tickets for a Hannah Montana concert are: Five people in Tampa are clinging to a statue of the Disney Channel star, in the hopes of winning four tickets to the show and $5,000.

The contest sponsored by a local radio station started Thursday with 20 contestants. Four women and one man remain.

Each contestant must keep at least one hand or foot on the statue at all times. They get a 12-minute break every three hours. The can sleep, but they need permission to switch positions and can't entertain themselves with ipods, books or cell phones.

Contest organizers say the endurance test will continue until Sunday, the day before the Tampa concert, or until there's a winner."

I think the bigger issue here is that someone actually built a Hannah Montana statue.

My sister would do this in a heartbeat.


I would rather puke.

this is like those "hands on a car" contests they have in the south. You'd be surprised how long these people can go.

I think someone needs to refer them to the recent Grey's Anatomy episode where two women were clinging to a wedding dress in similar fashion. It did not end well.

I think John Barrowman should do something similar for his upcoming UK tour. I will fly to England and keep my hand on a part of his body as long as it takes for me to get what I want.

I don't understand the hype with this girl. Didn't tickets for her concerts go for like 5 grand?

It kinda reminds me of the radio contest where the lady died from water intoxication.


It's like: Who can take the most torture?

"The can sleep, but they need permission to switch positions and can't entertain themselves with ipods, books or cell phones"

Unless I'm reading it wrong, they must sleep in one position and need permission to move? I change positions in my sleep without realizing it.

Edit: Em, I've never even heard of her until I worked at camp this summer (2nd grade girls). Hannah Montana is ALL WE LISTENED TO, ALL SUMMER LONG.

My 12-year-old cousins think she's the best thing since sliced bread. I suppose we did the same things at that age. Of course, my parents weren't getting in line to hold onto a life-sized statue of Zack Morris.

Her concert appearance beat out the Iraq war here in Denver on the news.

Oh, how I pity you. That girl sounds like she has marbles in her mouth ALL. THE. TIME.

I have to admit, I have two of her songs on my mp3 player.

They're catchy, I tell ya

Careful, Em - remember, there are people with differing opinions on what Raul sings like, as well . . .

Point taken, but I'm still entitled to say what I think. There are differing opinions on most singers. A tendency to be defensive with regard to a handful of particular performers shouldn't mean that I give up my privilege to be the voice of differing opinions on others. I don't even think her voice is particularly bad. She's just impossible to understand. And her songs are catchy.

Your point taken, as well, Em

Honestly, I think I've reached a point where I'm thankful I can't understand the . . . um, 'lyrics'!

Has anybody heard her actual voice? I mean, without the pitch-correcting technology? At least Zach Morris had the decency to get a male Marni Nixon type for his lip-syncing when he and the gang formed Zach Attack.

That being said, I'd totally be fondling that statue. With $5,000 AND four tickets to scalp, I could pay my rent for two years at least.

C'mon... it's the daughter of the Achy Breaky Mullet dude. Who wouldn't kill to be there???

The tickets to all her concerts sold out in like seconds or something like that. It was all over the news. Of course parents will do anything to get free tickets. I would instead of paying the momey brokers are charging. This makes me think back to my *N Sync days...the things you do for FREE tickets.

Wow, I have yet to really know what this girl is about. I have seventeen-year-old friends that are obsessed wih her, one of my friends excitedly showed me theother day that she had bought Hannah Montana lip gloss. This is a senior in high school. I'venever seen her show, I've neer heard her music, i oculdn't even pick her out of a lineup...is she really that amazing? Am I missing out?

In between this, the rampant cop-killing, and other factors too numerous to mention, I think its time to get the f**k outta Florida, SweetQ.

My younger cousin is obsessed with her. I have heard of few of her songs. She's got a decent voice. I've never seen the show though.

Although it's an ongoing joke with a few friends of mine and myself that if Beauty is ever brought back, she will then be old enough to play Belle. I wouldn't be surprised with that stunt casting move.

My friends were pushing me to go, fortunately I said "Hell No."
The kids I babysit love her. I have to watch it all of the time. So, needless to say, it's grown on me a little bit, so I tolerate it. Doesn't mean I will pay to see her live- that might kill me. She also doesn't even sing live and it is so easy to tell.

Well now her fan club is being sued. The things they choose to report about on the news sometimes amuses me. Save it for E!

Wow, she's only 14? I definitely thought she was older.
