Kaila Fuller of Beverly, a 9-year-old who also watches Hannah Montana every time she's on television "unless she's busy or something," also loves the singing, the dancing and the look of Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus.

It's why she had to attend the concert about a month ago, along with thousands of other kids in the area.

Dominique and her 7-year-old brother, Jason, were one of the lucky few to see that show, when their mother, Suzanne, got the tickets "by the skin of her teeth" after joining Miley's fan club.

"It was very loud," said Dominique, of her first concert. "Everybody was singing in the audience."

While most of Miley's fans aren't old enough to work and have money of their own to spend on Hannah Montana items, parents seem all too happy to support their kids' love of all things Hannah/Miley. While kids love the teen, parents are happy to see their children admire the squeaky-clean pop star.

"She puts on a great show, and it really is so clean," said Goodman.

Joyce Lehan of Newburyport, who was at the same show with her daughter, Courtney, felt the same way.

"It was all good," said Lehan, who also got tickets through the fan club. "I hope she (Miley) keeps on this path."

And even the fans are proud of Miley's morals.

"Miley is a good role model," said Kaila, who has about "400 posters" in her room.

It also helps that Miley connects with her fans. The highlight of the concert for Dominique and Jason was meeting her after the show.

"I said, 'Miley, you rock,'" remembers Dominique, who got her tour book signed. "Miley said, 'Thank you so much. I am so glad you are one of my biggest fans.'"

For Grace, seeing the movie version of the concert is another way to connect to her favorite performer.

"I have never really been to a 3D movie," said Grace. "I want to hear her sing."

For Dominique and Courtney, it's a way to revisit the treasured memory of the concert.

"I want to see if it's like the real concert," said Courtney, who watches "Hannah Montana" twice a day.
