On the heels of Cyrus’ claim that she’s never listened to Jay-Z, despite the aggressive name-checking on her hit single “Party in the USA,” celebrity reporters are anxiously awaiting word from Miley that she had no previous knowledge of the Shock Value II rapper, despite appearing on his record.

Some believe that Cyrus will claim to have been surreptitiously recorded while singing in the shower. Others theorize that she’ll suggest that her alleged contribution to the track is actually an uncanny impersonation by her nine-year-old sister Noah, as part of an ongoing campaign by the younger Cyrus to bite her more-famous older sibling’s style.

Cyrus is expected to announce a press conference on the matter sometime this afternoon. It is also believed that she might use the conference as an opportunity to trash the Twilight movie series once again, in an effort to deflect attention away from her spurious denials.

In the meantime, the Miley Cyrus/Timbaland collaboration—assuming this isn’t an elaborate hoax—is presented below.

The Hannah Montana star’s collaboration with Timbaland, “We Belong to the Music,” got a sneak-preview radio airing on Friday, and you can hear it below!

The song will appear on Timbaland’s upcoming album Shock Value 2, due out on December 8.

Give it a listen and share your thoughts in the comments!

Super producer Timbaland is set to release his highly anticipated album Shock Value II on December 8th, which includes tons of guest appearances by singers like Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, and teen queen Miley Cyrus.

And Timbaland has nothing but kindness for the controversial 16-year-old Disney Star. He tells EW that she’s on her way to becoming an even bigger star.

He said,

“Man, she’s gonna be like Justin [Timberlake]. She comes from that same musical background, where she’s just got it. Her voice is just there. The best way to put it is she’s special. When I worked with her, I was very impressed. I was like, ‘Whoa.’”

Readers, what do you think: Is Miley Cyrus on the same level as J.T?

There’s no Justin Timberlake and no Timbaland, but the vid definitely tips the scale at homage rather than spoof. And don’t let the fact that Miley’s grandma is in da house fool you.

This ain’t no rinky-dink tip o’ the hat. It’s complete with martial-arts maniacs and a full crew of spinners, grinders and sketched-out choreography. So, here are both. If you needed saving in four minutes, which posse would you call to get the job done right?
