Dont believe ive seen any episodes !!
I know Emily showed us she was busy filming her show but come ON she could've made it if she wanted to, it's the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana
Hannah you changed it’s ashamed Emily not there you suck
Mitchell and Emily they took the leap for not being 20th anniversary for now on Hannah Montana I know if they missed it!
I was 2 minutes into the special and I began to weep because I wanted to watch this with my childhood friend who died from Huntington’s disease in 2022. She was a humungous Hannah Montana fan.
Thanks. I hadn't watched it yet. The biggest draw for me was Osment, so I guess I don't need to bother now.
Hannah Montana wouldn't be the same without those two
I Love Hannah Montana 😀❤️😃😍💖💝 And I Love Miley Cyrus 😀❤️😃😍💖💝 And Emily Osment 😀❤️😃😍💖💝
It sucks Emily's not there
I didn't see Jason Earl on here either. Who played her brother Jackson curious?
That's such Bs….like I get they are busy, but come on, get on a plane, go to the anniversary and then go back to whatever you're doing. A 20th anniversary only comes like once ..
You make time for people you fuck with. 🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂
It sucks that Emily couldn't be part of it, but at least she made a video celebrating Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary. ❤
🥳✨️ Happy 20th Anniversary Hannah Montana ✨️🥳
I miss Emily and Musso in the show
Childhood never the same 💖
♥️♥️♥️🌈📺🎬🌙✨⭐️🌹😘😍🥰🎉🎆🎇🎆📷♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
It's okay Emily and Mitchell, you guys will always be Lily and Oliver in our hearts forever ❤
Hannah Montana is 20 years old, right now. We are getting older right now, but still look the same as we were before.
Emily Osment helped make Hannah Montana a sensation on Disney along with Miley Cyrus so her not being in the special didn’t feel like a reunion!
i think jason earles was more than game to be on the special, there should have been more of the cast included, this show no only had the best pop superstar, but also maybe the best supporting cast on a disney channel show, just about every character was memorable and had great personalities and had some dimension to them as well. Also the special should have been at least 2 hours, one was not nearly enough, but it was beautiful nonetheless.
Mitchell literally said he wanted to be there because he needed a check. What a literal idiot. Emily not being there is the worst. But Oliver was stupid, irrelevant, and really did not contribute like nobody tuned in excited to see Oliver.
And Rico ?
Whaaaaa?
Papa out of money, again?
No Thank You.
This was barley news 20 years ago.
It was so good I loved it but did miss lily and oliver, it took me back though I loved it thank you Miley for making it happen!!! ❤❤❤❤I figured Emily was shooting the show I love her new show it's so funny xxx 😊❤
Emily osment was my favorite character on Hannah Montana Emily is ok we understand
Awkward
They couldnt do a zoom call or something
I was expecting to see Emily 100% Why didn't they interview Jason too? What about Mitchell?
