- (Alberto) What is this?
- "What is this?" - (Seth) Oh, is this Noah Cyrus?
- Yeah. - (Darius) It's Noah Cyrus
and XXXTentacion.

She's hella good. - Thanks!

I like this song. (laughing) - That's nice.
- (Mikaela) This does definitely have an interesting sound.
- (Jayka) I don't have anything against it,
but it's not something I would put on my own playlist.
- Okay. - ♪ Broken and I'm in hell ♪
- (Leyla) I really like this music video.
- Thank you, baby. - (Leyla) It looks really trendy.
I know it's in a cemetery, but it's nice.
- (chuckling) My thoughts exactly.
I'm so, like, the cemetery's beautiful.
- (Mikaela) She's cool.
Just from what I've seen, I think she's done
a good job of setting herself apart from her sister.
- Thank you!
- (Leyla) ...when I was younger, and then seeing her now
as a very talented artist. I really like it.
- Thank you!
I directed the music video myself
and my manager and I were in Australia, and I met up with my friends,
Heath and Lauren, and they were like, "You're so dark.
You're gonna love this cemetery."
And I went and then, the next day, I decided to film the video
and shoot again there, but at the time,
I didn't even know that it was going to be my single.
XXXTentacion wasn't even the song yet.
I just wanted to film a video because I thought
it was such a perfect metaphor to say you don't know
what you've got until it's gone and be able to shoot it.
- ♪ I never hated you like I do... ♪
- (Leyla) Oh! I've heard this song.
I didn't know it was her.

- (Darius) You can really hear the Cyrus in her.
- (Alberto) Her sound is really good.
I cannot emphasise how good her sound is.
- Oh my god!
- (Seth) Okay, this one is it.
- I was so ready for a big roasting.
Those guys are so nice.
- (Jordan) She would be fun to be friends with.
- Let's be friends!
- (Jayka) I just never really thought of her as a singer,
but her songs are okay.
- Okay. My songs are okay, but that's all right, girl.
You don't got to add me to no playlist.
- (FBE) So Noah Cyrus is only 17 years old.
- (Anahita) Oh really?
- (Jake) Noah, if you're watching this--
- I am! I am watching this. Thank you!
- (FBE) What do you think it is about her music
that made her so popular right at the start of her music career?
- (Leyla) It's different.
Each one was so much different than the other one.
- (Jordan) That youthfulness is really refreshing.
- (Darius) I wouldn't so much say it was her music that got her high,
but her family. (chuckling) - Ouch.
- (Darius) That's just the truth. - Ouch.
- (Darius) She probably wouldn't have been this close to the billboard
or this high up if it wasn't for, you know,
her sister being Miley Cyrus. - Okay, okay, pause.
Let me just pause on this for a second.
Yes, you may know who I am when I put my music out,
but in my defense, it's not my fault that I was born into
the Cyrus family and I am so grateful that I have the opportunity
to be able to go and have this bigger push
because I had fans on Instagram and I made a connection with people
from such a young age, but I would like to say
that this is not just because of a last name.
I think people seriously connect with my music
and I think by the time they get halfway through a song,
I think maybe, you know, the last name might disappear
for a second.
- (FBE) So if you didn't know, Noah is Miley Cyrus' little sister.
- What? Wait, hold on!
What?! What is up with all these plot twists?
She's Miley Cyrus' little sister?
- She's got two sisters.
There's five of us kids.
- (FBE) Why do you think that people are so quick to make comparisons
between siblings when they're both in the limelight?
- (Jake) Yeah, because it's unavoidable.
I think it's just human nature.
You just associate family with family.
- He's so smart.
- (Anahita) People always pick out similarities
between them and their siblings.
Me and my sister don't look anything alike,
but people are like, "Oh, you have the same nose."
Like, no, we don't look anything alike.
- Isn't it annoying?
- (Tristan) Someone so successful like Miley,
they want to-- and then they get the younger sibling,
and then they want them to amount to their older sibling,
so then they'll just compare them early
and then not really give the younger sibling a fair shot.
- Do you want to go on tour with me?
You should open my show saying that.
- (FBE) What would be your advice for her
in dealing with similar issues that other teens have to face,
but in the spotlight.
- (Darius) All right, Noah, this is what you gotta do.
You gotta do what you said in that song
and not give a [bleep] because--
- I don't give a [bleep]! - (Darius) ...the only way
you're gonna be able to prosper in life.
(Seth) Just do you and people will respect you
for being a master of your craft.
- (Leyla) Even though it's difficult to read comments
and hear things that are mean and rude
and, you know, you're getting compared to your sister,
just remember that the music you're putting out
is so unique and amazing.
- (Jordan) Comparison is gonna happen no matter what,
especially with your sibling.
- You are so cute. - (Jordan) Do not let it get to you.
- Thank you! - (Jordan) You're amazing.
Keep encouraging yourself and let others encourage you.
- (Alberto) I don't care what anyone says.
You are this-- this is amazing.
I didn't even know that you were Miley Cyrus' sister,
and that has nothing to do with it.
Just keep doing you and keep singing your voice
and it's gonna work out so well for you.
- That was so nice. Thank you so much.
I really appreciate that.
That was the sweetest thing ever.
- (FBE) Being a teen yourself, right, how was it
seeing people your age reacting to you and your music?
- That's really cool, especially because they didn't know.
That was the coolest thing, that they didn't know
I would be watching, so this was their honest opinions,
and, honestly, all I can ask for is that,
but it's cool to, you know, hear the people
I'm making the music for speak on it.
It's a cool thing to watch a normal human response in a way.
You know what I mean?
- (FBE) You're in a very competitive and demanding industry.
- Yeah. - (FBE) And you're so young.
Can you kind of talk to us about how you're balancing that
with just being a teen?
- Um, I think it was harder, actually, when I wasn't doing music,
to be a teen, because I grew up, you know,
home schooled and not knowing how to make real friends,
who wanted to be friends with me for me.
I would not go out of the house.
Literally, that's how insecure I was before music.
If I had anything wrong with my skin, I wouldn't want to go out.
Or if I was feeling not good about myself,
I wouldn't want to go hang out with my friends,
and music has definitely taught me to go outside myself
and to kind of push my own boundaries.
- (FBE) So you've been recording songs from a very young age.
Can you talk about how your sound has evolved over the years?
- Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, when I first started music, I wanted to sing about
really dark stuff.
My very first song I ever wrote was called "Psycho."
There's a lot of stuff that I still want to put out
from those days because that was still me.
It was just another version of me.
I've definitely grown in the process.
I've been very fortunate to grow up with my music.
- (FBE) Some people may not know that before you were
such a popular singer, you were actually an actress.
- Eh. I don't know.
Eh. I don't say I was, but, I mean,
I did Ponyo and that was kind of the coolest--
if you were to do one movie, and never act again,
Ponyo is kind of the coolest one to do.
- (FBE) How was it, doing the theme song?
- I can do that right now, too.
Um-- - (FBE) Do it! (laughing)
- ♪ Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, tiny little fish ♪
♪ She's a little fish from the deep blue sea ♪
♪ Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, she's a little girl ♪
♪ She's a little girl with a round tummy ♪
It was fun.
I would do it all over again.
I want Ponyo 2.
- (FBE) So the teens reacted to you, so what do you want to say to them
about this experience?
- I think my experience, thank you for your advice.
It's nice to get advice from people that hear my music.
But it just actually meant so much to me,
being able to hear somebody else be like,
"Ignore the haters.
Ignore people that compare.
You're you-- your music, just keep being you."
That's so cool to hear from people that don't know me personally
and only know me for my music, so thank you.
Honestly, my advice to you is the same advice you gave me.
All of us are the same.
Every teenager goes through the same things,
and just keep being you guys.
Do things that make you happy and everything
is just gonna all fall into place.
(blowing kiss)
Thank you so much, FBE, for having me.
This was such a fun episode.
I loved listening to the reviews.
Thank you so much for everything,
Make sure to check out my new single again,
featuring XXXTentacion.
I just came out, featuring on Matoma's new single
called "Slow," so make sure to check it out.
