The Climb (Miley Cyrus) by 8 Year old Dominique Dy at the Semi-Final Round of the 2010 Kentucky Opry Talent Search on 04/10/2010
"The Climb" is a song performed by American recording artist and actress Miley Cyrus, for the 2009 film Hannah Montana: The Movie. The song was written by Jessi Alexander and Jon Mabe, and produced by John Shanks. It was released on March 5, 2009, as the lead single of the film's soundtrack by Walt Disney Records. The song is a power ballad with lyrics that describe life as a difficult but rewarding journey. It is styled as a country pop ballad, and was Cyrus' first solo song to be released to country radio. The instrumentation includes piano, guitar and violins.

"The Climb" was generally well received by critics and was nominated for the Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media at the 52nd Grammy Awards. However, the song was withdrawn from consideration by Walt Disney Records because it had not been written specifically for a movie as the category's eligibility rules required. The song achieved worldwide success and became a Top 10 hit on charts in Australia, Canada, Norway and the United States. In the United States, the song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the eighth best selling digital single of 2009. Five months after its release, the single was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Matthew Rolston, and depicts scenes of Cyrus climbing a mountain or singing, intercut with clips of Hannah Montana: The Movie. Cyrus promoted the song with several live performances. The first, at the Kids Inaugural: "We Are the Future" event on January 19, 2009, was the first time the song had ever been publicly heard. Cyrus also performed the song as the closing number of her Wonder World Tour.

"The Climb" has been covered by several artists and was the most popular choice of song among auditioners for the ninth season of the American singing contest, American Idol. Simon Cowell, creator of the British television talent show The X Factor, chose "The Climb" to be the debut single of the winner of the competition's sixth series. Winner Joe McElderry's cover, released on December 14, 2009, by Syco Music, topped the Irish Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart.
"The Climb" was not intentionally written for the 2009 musical film Hannah Montana: The Movie. Co-writer Jessi Alexander conceived the song's melody while driving to the home of songwriting partner Jon Mabe. Once she arrived, she and Mabe developed a song about overcoming life's obstacles inspired by their personal struggles in the music industry.[1] Alexander referred to the process as a form of "therapy".[2] In regards to the song's development, Alexander stated, "pinoy idol" "australia's got talent" "america's got talent" "american idol" "miley cyrus" "hannah montana" auditions karaoke lyrics contest talent show music oprah ellen degeneres female vocalist singer live movie song singing religious concert filipino vocal The Climb Miley Cyrus by Year old Dominique Dy at the Semi Final 2010 Kentucky Opry Got Talent Search on demi lovato taylor swift joe mcelderry hannah montana karaoke sung sings child girl asian chinese pinoy philippines idol charice pempengco nashville tn ky madison creek elementary hendersonville sumner flood disney channel competition winner local news australia australia's "america's got" "america got" americas got" america american americas america's oprah "britain's got talent" britain britain's britains joe Mcelderry justin bieber baby can't be tamed "can't be tamed" jovit

STAY AWAY FROM DISNEY! The take talent like this and mold it into their little freak show of people that after they feel they've gotten all the money possible from, will drop them, and let go down the drain! Example? Miley Cyrus. The Jonas Brothers. Corbin Bleu.
