GREENSBORO — Ohmygodohmygodohmygod.

Oh. My. God.

Singer and actress Miley Cyrus — aka Hannah Montana from the same-named show on the Disney Channel — bounced into the Greensboro Coliseum on Sunday. And she called forth an army of pink T-shirt wearing, sequin-covered bag toting, glitter-adorned sign-carrying girls whose ear-piercing squeals could — if used correctly — bring Osama bin Laden out of his hidey-hole.

So what gives regarding the inability of regular parents without specialized computer software being unable to buy tickets at face value? Join the discussion at the Debatables blog.

Like, for real.

These girls, roughly ages 4 to 15, slipped on their best polka-dot tights and denim miniskirts for the concert of Cyrus, the 14-year-old star they all want to be. The show was a sell-out, with 17,000 tickets going to fans and their chaperones.

"Her songs are really great," said 8-year-old Grace Miller of Ashe County. "And she's sooooo grounded."

Hmm. OK. Grace, whatever do you mean by grounded?

"Uh, I don't really know what that means," she said, wiggling and stomping her feet, anxious for the concert to begin.

It means Mommy and Daddy approve. Freshly scrubbed Hannah/Miley isn't 14 going on 24. She appears wholesome. Pretty, stylish and definitely interested in boys, mind you, but in an age-appropriate way.

That's why Mike and Marty Daigneault drove their

7-year-old daughter Emily from — get this — Williamsburg, Va., for the concert. They made a weekend of it, spending Saturday at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro.

So much of television is sexually tinged, said Mike Daigneault, who wandered through the throng of girls carrying a little blue coat and wearing a bemused smile. But this he can get behind.

Girls love her twangy voice. She is, after all, the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, he of "Achy Breaky Heart" fame. Mostly, though, they love her look: Long, blond hair. Pearly white teeth. And ohmygod those fabulous, fabulous clothes.

Amanda Byrd of Clinton to daughter: "Mattie, what is it you like about Hannah Montana?"

Mattie, 6: "Her closet."
