Article related to final project

"I won't become the new Britney, says Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus"

A relatively long piece at close to 2,000 words, this article is packed full of information about Cyrus's life, career, family, friends, etc. This made it very helpful for me or anyone wanting to learn more about her, but the article seems to read like a list of Cyrus's accomplishments at times. The piece covers most of Cyrus's life as well as giving some detail about what she's currently working on. The lede is interesting and should catch many readers' eye, and the kicker is adequate, though the very similar first sentence in the last two paragraphs is a bit repetitive. The author doesn't seem to show much of an opinion on Cyrus for much of the article, spending some time simply recounting parts of her interview with Cyrus instead, but in the final few paragraphs the reader gets a sense that the author is rooting for Cyrus to not go the route of those like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.
