"I’m Morpheus, and she’s Neo,” he says of the former Hannah Montana star. “I can’t tell her what to do, I can only let her find it within herself.” That wasn’t too hard, since Cyrus is “an old soul” who went into the studio knowing exactly what she wanted. He keeps gushing: “Her voice is unreal. She’s got that amazing low tone. It sings like it’s from ’79. I don’t usually compliment my own stuff, but it’s unlike anything she’s ever done before. And I have a lot of respect for her—don’t care what anyone says. ‘Party in the U.S.A.’ was a big record. She challenged the pop world with that song." -
Pharrell
"I like Miley, I think she's really really sweet. I like that 'See You Again' song, [...] I think she gets a hard time to be honest, it's not her fault she's a Disney star. She's growing up. [...] I really like her." -
Adele
"It was really good. We were on the Oprah show together, me and Miley and Pat Benatar and Sheryl Crow and some others. Rock and roll girls. I met Miley and I thought she was really nice. She’s done a very sweet homage. I’m delighted to have someone her age doing that song." -
Stevie Nicks on Miley's cover of Landslide
""She's one of the few musicians -- and I want to use that word cause she can actually play and sing -- she's one of the few people who can pull it off and give it her own flair and make it sound good. (She) nailed the song. She really knew what she was doing. She got in there and picked the guitar up. It was one of those nights that just worked." -
Bret Michaels on Miley's cover of Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Jett then returned the compliment, “I was thinking to myself … how difficult it must be to lead your life as a teenager with the paparazzi and the amount of press you’re surrounded by. I thought to myself, ‘Wow that was kind of a blessing that we didn’t have that stuff when I was growing up in The Runaways,’” -
Joan Jett
"I'm thrilled young girls are claiming their sexuality for themselves. I love bold women: Madonna and Scarlett Johansson - sexy and gorgeous, but not only that. And Miley Cyrus - fantastic!" -
Helen Mirren
"I just want to go on record and say everyone should just leave her alone. I never represented anything wholesome in America ... I only had one way to go. People are just bored. Leave the poor girl alone! She's going to grow up soon, she's going to probably show her knees next — watch out!" -
Madonna on Miley's Vanity Fair controversy
"I remember myself at her age. We've all been a bit too hard on her. I hope she holds it together because there's a world of things she can do. She should keep an eye on things and make wise decisions." -
Dolly Parton
"I think when you have new sensations like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, adolescents identify with it the same way that children identified with The Beatles. When you have thousands of teenagers feel the same, they become euphoric because they have this love for one thing in common, whether The Beatles, Hannah Montana (TV personality who embodied Cyrus), Justin Bieber, or whatever." -
Paul McCartney
"I saw the video and I was like 'wow.' I knew exactly what she was going through as I watched it. I thought it was a beautiful video, she looks great, I get exactly what she's saying, she couldn't have put it more clear, She's in a cage. I get it, it's great, ... I'm glad she did that. It's her right." -
Kelis
"Miley has got the equivalent of what Olivia Newton-John was to 'Grease'. The whole country is in love with her, as am I." -
John Travolta
"Her acting is unaffected, she can play serious, and she works easily with a pro like Kinnear, whose light comedy skills are considerable and undervalued. She even seems sincere in the face of a plot so blatantly contrived it seems like an after-school special." -
Roger Ebert on Miley's performance in The Last Song
"She's adorable. I love her. We text all the time still. She's a great girl with a great heart." -
Demi Moore
" I love you madly. You are a rare breed of talent and soul. You inspire me every day girly girl. Old soul in such a young body. You are a gift to us common folk." -
Kirstie Alley
"You out-dressed+styled everyone last night. If anyone gives you **** about that haircut pay no mind. You look like Brigitte Nielson. " -
Lady Gaga
"It is so inspiring to see what a true role model Miley Cyrus has become. Fearless, true to herself - this is a real chick to look up to kids." -
Simon Curtis
"[...]She's just as cute as a june bug! Just a precious angel! Cuter than a litter of pups." -
Cher
"I think Miley Cyrus - 'Party in the USA' is my favorite song ever." -
Asher Roth
"Miley I love you girlie! I always have! My daughter loves you too! You looked beautiful tonight!" -
Brandy
"I love listening to Miley Cyrus sing. Her voice is incredible." -
Ellen Degeneres

This is just something I've been throwing together, I think I might put it in the OP.
Can anyone think of any instances of celebrities stanning for Miley?
It would have smashed.
+ There was a girl who sang The Climb on The Voice on Monday. 
Well let's be real, she's got enough money to never work a day again in her life, but I think she'll always have that drive and she'll always want to make music. She really seemed to lose her passion for it in 2010 but the way she's been acting lately, I feel like she has that spark back. 
It's LQ and only 5 seconds long, so I doubt it. Worth a check though.
