Ha! I love you.
Sadly we can not. It is what it is and it can not be done. And I earned that like, so maybe re-consider this.

You're right, you earned it for your work, so I just gave it. Let it be known though, if this were Facebook, I'd react with an angry emoji. Alas, we don't have that option in this forum.

Thank you for clearing that up...even though you're wrong.
I could have sworn it was.
Both my 11s making it this far - I’m shook!!
He/Him
Sorry for another long delay! I keep getting caught up in my books and reading. But I have another one for you coming soon. Fair warning: it's someone's 11.
she/her
Ah, reading. I have an entire library room full of books and I haven't read a single one in like two years. I am getting caught up in writing though, so that's fun.
If it's my other 11 then y'all can die.
He/Him
I totally relate to this. The past few years, I've had quick marathons where i wanted to read but they never lasted long. It wasn't until quarantine that I had actually completely fallen in love with reading again and have not stopped, and have so far read 11 books in a month, more so thhen the past year before thiat, and wil be done with this series, probably by the end of next week.
Don't worry, it isn't. Maybe...
Hm. Well this isn’t really fair when we don’t know how certain songs may have actually benefitted from me participating.
He/Him
Hmmmm...maybe I'll reveal where your 11s would have landed without them.
Anyways, wasn't expecting this one to make it so far...
But I'm not upset about it.

Just Like You was written and produced by Adam Watts and Andy Dodd for the first season of Hannah Montana and its soundtrack. A pop-rock mid-tempo, it follows a similar line lyrically to other early Hannah songs, about how Hannah/Miley is a completely normal girl, despite living this huge dream of being a pop star. I actually have some thoughts about this that I'm gonna share later, but first, the show. This song is first heard in the second episode of the first season, "Miley Get Your Gum" where Miley (as Hannah) performs it at the beginning, making it the third song we ever hear overall. The episode itself is a classic.

It's the end of the concert and Hannah, Robby and Lilly all get into a limo, with Lilly introducing herself as "Lola Lafonda" marking this the first appearance of Lilly's alter-ego for when she's hanging with Hannah. (She later settles on the last name Luftnagle.) Oliver is seens trying as hard as he can to get to the limo to shower Hannah with love, because of his massive crush, and Miley, Lilly and Robby discuss things he's done to talk to Hannah. Oliver requests a kiss on the hand from Hannah, promising he'll never wash it. They decide to use the dog they have in the car (Thor, who literally never shows up again in the rest of the series) to kiss his hand, and Oliver falls for it (how I have no idea, considering a dog's kisses are very different from a human's) and after they start driving, they talk about if Oliver finds out her secret he'll be in love with Miley, and she doesn't feel like that, but after Robby talks about how eventually he'll move on, Oliver is on his bike and riding next to them, and throws a boquet a flowers into the window. After the theme song, Oliver is on the beach bragging to some guys about how Hannah kissed his hand, when another guy - CHad - chews gum really close to the hand, and Oliver tells him not to get spit on it. Oliver says he's going to look into Hannah's eyes at her CD signing and say to her "You are my love, my life, and someday you'll be my..." and instead of finishing with the obvious "wife" writes on his hand (the Hannah hand) to think of words that rhyme with life. He freaks out that he wrote on the hand, and Miley gets worried that Oliver will recognize her. Lilly reassures her and they leave the beach. Chad, who's still chewing gum wraps the piece he had around Oliver's Hannah hand and he freaks out about it (who wouldn't, that's disgusting) and has flashback to a great-aunt chewing gum over him as a baby and spitting it onto his face. After the CD signing, Miley, Lilly and Robby climb into the limo, and Miley immedaitely takes off her wig while she and Lilly talk about how Oliver had no clue who she was. Oliver then flops through the sunroof so he's hanging upside from it WHILE THE LIMO IS IN MOTION. He is crazy, but Robby has the driver pull over. Miley ducks behind Lilly to hide the fact that it's her before quickly putting her wig on as best as she can. Oliver says she's more beautiful upside down and Lilly mistakes the compliment for being for her and saying he's really sweet, and Miley corrects her by saying he was talking to her. Miley continues, saying he is really sweet, but she has a boyfriend. Oliver asks why she kissed him and she tells him it was the dog, leading to Oliver exclaiming "Those are the lips I've been thinking about for the past 24 hours?!" ddddddd. Miley apologizes and says she's not interested, and Robby tells him to get off the roof before he dents it, cause it's a rental. Oliver starts being self-deprecating, saying she must think he's pathetic, but Miley says no, she thinks he's sweet, and maybe if she didn't have a boyfriend and before she can finish Oliver, says "I'd have a chance with you?". Miley says she never said that, but Oliver says she implied it, and that's good enough for him and that he'll wait for her forever. Robby says that Oliver needs a real girlfriend, and Miley's immediate reaction is disbelief then realization that it's the smartest thing her dad has ever said. We then cut to the high school, where Oliver is working his locker man magic on the stuck lockers for some classmates (including a girl who we find out - in another episode - has a massive crush on him) as well as saying no to the guy who tortured him with gum the day before. Miley then starts trying to set him up with multiple girls, pointing out different ones in the hallway (she isn't the nicest about it if I'm being honest), ending with Lilly, saying they'd be perfect for each other, and when she starts listing things they have in common, they immediately deny it in unison, foreshadowing their eventual relationship in season 3. But currently, Miley uses their refusal to be together to argue that it sucks when one friend likes another friend but that friend doesn't like them back and that can put strain on the friendship (I have experienced this first hand, happy to share that story if anyone is interested). Oliver takes this to mean Miley is in love with him, which she denies, saying she does love him, but like a brother or a per fish. She'd cry if she had to flush him down the toilet, but she doesn't wanna kiss him. Oliver is relieved, saying he thinks she and Hannah could be close friends with lilly saying "Closer then you think" and Oliver saying that's great, and when he's with Hannah, they'll have her over for sushi. He goes to his locker to stare dreamily at the picture of Hannah he has in there, when Chad puts a pice of gum right on the picture, and Oliver says goodbye to the "his love", rips the picture off, and there's abother one right under it, to which he says "Hello again!"This whole situation gives Lilly an idea to get Oliver to get turned off towards Hannah, and then she has to go to the bathroom. After, Oliver meets Lilly on the beach and they talk, revealing that Lilly saw Hannah break up with her boyfriend, with Oliver in disbelief, and Lilly encourages him to go talk to her. After mistaking a guy for Hannah, due to him seeing blond hair that might be hers, he finds her reading a magazine and greets her, after which Miley puts it down and is revealed to be blowing gum. Miley (as Hannah) is really nice to him, and offers him gum, to which he replies he didn't know she was a chewer, and she says she chews gum all the time. He says she should update some of her websites, and she asks if t bothers him, because it disgusts other people. (After getting older, I've always felt this was a really...weird, but interesting analogy for smoking/tabacco/drugs/other bad habits, but doesn't land well enough, due to its ridiculousness.) Oliver says he's not like that, and relationships are about sacrifice, and he's willing to accept her the way she is. Miley calmly says "Good to know", then gets a new piece of gum and puts it in her mouth. The gum causes her mouth to turn blac, making it look realllly gross, and Miley chases him around the area they're in in, trying her best to freak him out, and saying she'd understand if he wanted to transfer his obsession to Mandy Moore (@pop3blow2 I'm sure you can appreciate that) because she's blond again. Oliver says no, his love is bigger then his disgust, then Miley blows a HUGE bubble which pops onto Oliver's face. She asks him aggresively "How do you like me now?" and he replies he still loves her. Miley gets frustrated, asking what more she has to do to make him understand that he and Hannah will never be together. He asks why not, and she says "Because...", takes of her wig and contnues "I'm Hannah Montana. Me, Miley" to which he passes out. He interrogates Miley about the secret, and they have a talk about how Miley feared that if he knew, he'd have feelings for too, and they talk about it and he realizes he doesn't actually love Hannah or Miley, and they have a hug, which becomes awkward, and they go to get food. Oliver then asks if Miley has Mandy Moore's number to which Miley says he bounces back fast. (Okay, I'm totally here for the pop culture references but at the time of this episode's airing, Mandy was 21, almost 22 and Oliver is 14 in the show, that would not have worked dddd.) Throughout the episode, there's this side plot where Jackson bought his first car with his own money, and when she shows his dad and best friend, they tell him it's a "chick car" and they work to return and trade it, or sell it back to the dealer, then Robby returns to the house with it, because he couldn't sell it, and he shows Jackson that he beefed up the horn and added a stereo that makes the car shake while it plays what is probably thought of as "manly" music. Now, I need to say, I fucking hate this subplot. All it does his fuel this belief that there are stuff like toys, games, music, cars, activities, clothes, etc. that can be applied to each gender, which leads to judgement and hatred when people want to use, play or wear the stuff that's "not meant" for their gender, and it PISSES ME OFF. Why can't people enjoy and own and do whatever the fuck they want? Why does a car have to be owned by a girl? What the fuck makes it a car for chicks? Seriously, I'm not a car person, but I would love to have the car in this episode. It's this gorgeous red BMW with black detailing and it looks mad expensive, even though it's used. Hell, I would kill to be able to afford a car like that, or any car period. Jackson should;ve just sucked it up and dealt with it, and realized it's just a freaking car, it doesn't matter if it's apparently "for girls" is just a stupid belief. That would've been a much better lesson instead of fueling this toxic masculinity BULLSHIT that we got instead. Okay, rant over.
Let's start with lowest scorer @iheartpoptarts (6) who presents an interesting scenario: And sometimes I wonder how different the Hannah material would’ve been if this show had taken place before the pop-goes-pop/rock era. Why bother with what-ifs, especially when the music is still so damn good? @Maki (7) is back with some...words. Confusing words: This is quite good, but isn't particularly exciting. I always want more from the chorus. How could you want more then perfection? @DJHazey (7.5) is here for the sound in general: More like the straight-forward teen pop-rock I would normally go for at least. Kind of memorable for the way the chorus ends, but anonymous in most other areas. Did you just call this faceless? @savilizabeths (8) likes it: An adorable mid tempo little song. I really like the instrumentation. I don’t know, I always find myself singing along to this one. It’s cute. I love you both, but these k=comments were kinda "eh". Where's the passion? Ah, @M24 (8.9) seems to have stolen some of it: I always forget how much I like this song. It reminds me of my struggles to be myself around other people ("there's another side of me"; "don't want to be treated differently") and also to be thankful for what I've achieved in life in spite of that ("it's a crazy life, but I'm just fine"). "Trying to live, trying to learn, trying to just be who I am" defines my life perspective right now. Okay, now I feel bad for my comments about it being a little shallow and falling flat. Really happy you found a way to connect to this! Hugs!
And finally, the person who stans this more then any other Hannah song, @phily693 (11) wanted this to be everywhere: This could have been on any other pop rock girl’s album back in the day and it would’ve still be brilliant. It’s straight forward but packs a punch. I wouldn’t be surprised if this had been in contention for the TV theme song. The outro specifically feels very Laguna Beach or something reality show opening titles. That would've been an interesting idea, and I'm kinda here for it. Also, Come Clean is a classic.
Sing along with me, and enjoy the video:
Enjoy the performance from the tour:
And some songs that I thought of because of this write-up
Pretty sure I posted this in a previous elimination, but who cares, like I said, it's a classic:
And this is the title track from Mandy's fith album, which came out little over a year after this episode premiered:
And one of my favorite songs from Taylor's debut which has an almost opposite lyrical theme:

Have another one coming for you guys and...I think it's actually very surprising.
Also, another fair warning: IT'S ANOTHER 11.

I'm honestly not too upset about Just Like You leaving. It's a Hannah classic but it's not exactly a favourite or something I revisit often.
Ooh... A Mandy Mention™ ! That was a pleasant surprise.
Aww... "East Northumberland High" absolutely didn't deserve to leave before top 20. It's such an instant and memorable track. Surprised it left so early.
"Just Like You" is a good elimination at this point.
And how the heck are "Right Here", "I Got Nerve" and "The Other Side Of Me" still around? Not that they're bad, but they greatly pale when compared to the rest.
