[[caption-width-right:270:The Greatest [[AccentUponTheWrongSyllable SinGer]] Ever]]

''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/mirandasings08 Miranda Sings]]'', also known by the username [=MirandaSings08=], is a collection of SoBadItsGood singing videos on Website/YouTube. The character Miranda is known for her below-average abilities and [[SmallNameBigEgo above-average opinion of said abilities]], self-invoked ProtectionFromEditors, and a constant ring of extremely red lipstick. In addition to her music ("music") channel, Miranda has a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Mirandavlogz/ vlog]] channel and a Creator/{{Netflix}} spinoff series, ''Series/HatersBackOff''.

Miranda is a pastiche of similarly untalented girls, and is created and portrayed by Colleen Ballinger. Colleen posts as herself at a third channel, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/PsychoSoprano/ PsychoSoprano]]'', where she occasionally does split-screen duets with Miranda.

!!This work contains examples of:

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Miranda has a tendency to put too much emphasis on letters in the middle of words ("Singer" becomes "Sing-G-er"), and most 'T' sounds ("Button" becomes [="BuTTon"=], "[=GeT=] [=OuT=]", etc.). Taken in conjunction with her frequent mangled words and nasal voice, it can make her sound [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent like she's from somewhere you've probably never heard of]].
%%* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Not so much Miranda as Colleen. [[http://youtu.be/h2nnNdqFB38?t=1m32s Best example.]]
%%* BadBadActing: Any time she does acting on her channel.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: When she receives a shirtless Ken doll for Christmas, she complains about it being porn...[[HypocriticalHumor but declares it a ripoff when she takes off his pants and sees the lack of features underneath.]]
%%* BattleRapping: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8hxVPGL2H8 Against Colleen Evans]].
%%* BeautyInversion
%%* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[AvertedTrope Oh boy.]]
%%** This is true of her actress, Colleen Ballinger, as well. An unapologetic {{Gasshole}} who [[http://youtu.be/fGta_8FjIiI?t=4m26s "Loves farts"]], Colleen also has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJh1O6KfbQA numerous]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79MxSfQdyVI stories]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EUYXC3geT4 of]] a [[ToiletHumor hilariously rude]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments nature]].
* {{Bowdlerise}}: Miranda created [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEBkS2AVlO8 her own version of twerking]] that was not as "porn" as the original one.
%%* BrattyTeenageDaughter: On spades. Per example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsv1D7JZwdk here she's complaining about a vacation on Hawaii]].
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: In "Sin the Bottle" with Mamrie Hart, she eventually agrees to confess a sin, which turns out to be an anticlimactic result to a pathetic attempt at revenge. After Mamrie asks her why she thought it was bad, she says, "I don't know...I kicked a dog on the way out, though." Mamrie says she should have used that to confess instead.
* TheCameo: She appears in an episode of ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' and played ''TabletopGame/{{Pictionary}}'' in ''Series/TheTonightShow'' with Creator/JimmyFallon, Creator/JerrySeinfeld and Creator/MartinShort. She also briefly appears in ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', where her internet connection is severed by the title character.[[labelnote:*]](Though the character is credited as “Colleen” despite Ballinger using Miranda’s voice and catchphrase.)[[/labelnote]]
* CharacterCatchphrase:
** Miranda always introduces herself by saying "Hey guys, it's me, Miranda..."
** When encountering negative feedback Miranda yells "HATERS BACK OFF!!!". So much so that it became the title for [[Series/HatersBackOff her series]].
** When she gets confused or frustrated at another person or thing she says "[[SanitySlippage ARE YOU KEEDING ME?!!]]" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y42IYZ-PFD0 WHAT THE EVEN HECK?!?!]]
* CelebrityImpersonator: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M91LA8DB6ck She says this is one of her many talents]], and in the list of famous people she includes ''herself''.
%%* CharacterTics: She has a few, most notably her eyebrow tic.
%%* ChewingTheScenery: Leaves a trail of red lipstick in the process.
%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* TheComicallySerious: She doesn't have a grasp on humor and is never seen laughing (if she is, it's a character break), which adds to her overall strangeness.
%%* ComicalOverreacting: It's either this or a total lack of reaction where one would be appropriate.
* CovertPervert: While she claims to be very religious and pure, she clearly contradicts this mentality on a few occasions, and frequently alludes to a very non-Christian relationship with her Uncle.
--> '''Miranda:''' (during Not my Arms challenge with Joey Graceffa brushing her teeth) I don't even let my Uncle go that deep!
%%* DenserAndWackier
%%* DontLikeDontRead: Miranda tells this to her haters in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idFUu542uyo&feature=related this]] video.
* DirtyOldMan: All we can assume of her [[TheGhost never seen]] Uncle, considering he does her dance choreography and design her costumes, owns KinkyCuffs, was Miranda's first [[BreadMilkEggsSquick kiss]]...
%%* DreamworksFace: a real life example.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: As evidenced by [[http://youtu.be/DtmVyacYwPM?t=3m4s this]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMKHe3_XDhc videos]], the original Miranda (from 2008) bears no resemblance at all to the Miranda of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8Dr91jao0s 2015]] (EVEN the lisstick]]).
* EmbarrassingAnimalSuit: Given the lack of a wolf costume, difficult to make, Miranda chose to reuse her last year's Halloween costume, a dog suit that she made herself, for her version of Music/{{Shakira}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7Plj3r5n20 "She Wolf"]].
%%* FascinatingEyebrow: invoked every single time.
* {{Flanderization}}: Early videos like her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWt2YJCJleY "Free Voice Lesson"]] are more or less indistinguishable from a thousand SmallNameBigEgo personalities on Youtube. By her cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeNXtRk9Wpo "Starships"]] by Music/NickiMinaj, she's closer to a [[Creator/TimAndEric Tim & Eric]] character.
** Much of the exaggerations to Miranda's character were inspired by hate mail from the [[{{Troll}} Haters]]; they attacked her lipstick, so she just added more. They called her dancing awkward, and...[[SquirrelsInMyPants you get the idea.]]
* FourthWallMailSlot: At the end of most videos, she does "Fan and Hate Mail of the Day" where she reads positive and mean comments left on her videos.
* FreakOut: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ToH-Wo6_F0 Happens]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmelqIAvWFY on]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2xSHAWCaFE&list=UU1OFDlfdRb6ma1ZGZd07gWA occasion]].
* TheFundamentalist: She's very religious, and believes that people who watch ''The Hunger Games'' and ''Harry Potter'' are sinners who are going to hell. Also, any woman who dresses revealingly is "porn".
* {{Gasshole}}: Miranda shares this with her actress Colleen. Miranda/Colleen burps in more videos than she doesn't, usually loudly. Audible farting is not uncommon, either.
%%* GenkiGirl: Miranda.
%%* TheGhost: In six years as of 2014, her Mother and Uncle have never appeared onscreen.
%%* GiftedlyBad
* GoshDangItToHeck: Miranda doesn't say bad words because she would become then a sinner.
* {{Hatedom}}: [[invoked]] Discussed. She dedicates a lot of segments, complete videos and songs to respond to the negative messages directed to her. According to Miranda, anyone start to being part of it if says something adverse about her talent or appearance, and includes even Elmo (see SesameStreetCred) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFWoR9Zp-u8 SOPA]].
* HatesBeingTouched: Miranda often tells people not to touch her, and even did so during a video about ''kissing''.
%%* HollywoodToneDeaf
%%* HomeschooledKids: Miranda claims being home-schooled, all by ''herself''.
* HypocriticalHumor: Miranda says of people who dislike her that they're "very rude", but she's very prone to burp and fart [=unapologeTically=].
* InsufferableGenius: Miranda thinks she's the latter, which is [[SmallNameBigEgo highly debatable]]. The former, however, [[{{Jerkass}} is indisputable]].
* InheritedIlliteracyTitle: The in-character self-help book ''Selp Helf'', where aside from the title, the text is hand-written and full of spelling and grammar errors.
* InsistentTerminology: Anything she considers inappropriate is "porn", and any strong food she hates is "spicy".
* TheInternetIsForPorn: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foPRMsN1aDU one vlog]], she describes her first experience with "porn". It turns out, she has a very loose definition of "porn" that includes revealing outfits worn publicly by Miley Cyrus, and even women who wear revealing swimwear to the beach.
%%* LargeHam
* LimitedWardrobe: Always wears plaid button-up shirts (Stolen from her Uncle) and bright-red lipstick (Stolen from her Mother). Anything more revealing is considered [[{{Stripperiffic}} "Porn"]].
* MessyHair: Sometimes, she appears on camera with unkempt hair and don't even wash it every day, because, in his words, doing it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUcbDlYAE7g can break it off]].
* MoralGuardians: Miranda herself is very prudish. She believes that anything remotely sexual is "porn" and inappropriate for anyone under 21.
* PoesLaw: Especially early on, Miranda so uncannily evoked typical AttentionWhore [=YouTube=] users most everyone thought she was serious. Some ''still do.''
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure:
** She doesn't know what [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1fy2SR_vmM Coachella]] is.
** When a fan asked her to cover the [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario´s]] theme song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyIj-F3QIdU she ended humming instead]] the ''Franchise/StarWars'' theme and [[Music/{{Hanson}} Hanson's]] "[=MMMBop=]".
* RunningGag:
** One of them is incredibly long-winded statements or questions that are completely vague, leaving the recipient with no possible answer.
** Her complete inability to properly pronounce Joey Graceffa's last name. She's only done it one, and that was a complete accident.
* SchoolIdol: Miranda was the most popular girl in her school thanks to being ''homeschooled'', therefore she was the most admired student by the student body, consisting of ''herself''.
* SeriousBusiness: Miranda was involved in a [[BattleRapping rap battle]] over ''makeup'', against Colleen Evans, no less.
* SesameStreetCred: Parodied when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ5_SASCAj0 Miranda appear besides Elmo]], but it is thanks to the magic of the [[ChromaKey chroma key]]. She even call him a ''hater''.
%%* SmallNameBigEgo: [[ExaggeratedTrope Big time]].
* SoundEffectBleep: She provide this sounds when is reading out loud the curse words the haters leave to her; unfortunately the censorship is not in full effect because [[BleepDammit the curse words remain intact in the messages displayed on screen]].
%%* StalkerWithACrush: Her preferred method of courtship.
%%* TheTag: Miranda's [[https://youtu.be/XkAG3gopT0g?t=2m46s rendition to Anaconda]] includes one after a fade to black.
%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Meat.
%%* VillainousBreakdown: Miranda's not much of a ''villain'', per se, but how else could one describe [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ToH-Wo6_F0 this?]]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent:
** Her idiosyncratic use of [[AccentUponTheWrongSyllable syllable stress]] ('T' sounds in the middle of words are over-emphasized) and oft-mangled words (Music/NickiMinaj's "Anaconda" is pronounced "Anna-coon-da", "Bad" sometimes becomes "Byehd", "What" sounds more like "Whet", etc.) can give this impression. It's taken up to eleven when she's upset; in the aforementioned FreakOut videos, she comes to sound almost ''Jamaican''...
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] [[http://youtu.be/n2xSHAWCaFE?t=43s here]], where, despite her unusual accent, she insists that she is "Emerigan".
%%* {{Yandere}}: To Joey Graceffa.
