Two former child stars are topping the pop music charts these days, but there are some big differences between their images. Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus are two names on everyone's minds these days, but it's hard to picture the two singers together otherwise.

As we all know, Miley Cyrus has created a new image for herself, embracing things like twerking and "ratchet culture" in order to present herself in a more edgy manor. Grande, on the other hand, is more of a "girl next door," angelic pop star with a more "PG" image.

Some media sources are now calling Grande the "Anti-Cyrus."

"[Her recent, chart-topping success] proves that Ariana is using her time to make a difference in the world. She's not club-hopping or Instagramming her extravagant purchases of a Rolex like other famous young stars do," said Diana Madison, host and founder of Hollyscoop TV.

Ariana insists that she won't let her success get to her head and says she'll remain true to herself.

"I don't feel much pressure to fit in. I've always just wanted to do my thing," she told Rolling Stone. "I have really good friends and good family and if it don't fit in somewhere else, I fit in at home."

"Ariana's talent speaks for itself, she doesn't need bad publicity or gimmicks to sell her music," said acting coach Donnie Klang, co-founder with Matthew LoaPorte of The Loft Studio. "She is the current role model that we use while we are training these up and coming stars."

Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus' recent image makeover has garnered a lot of attention. She also recently called off her engagement with Liam Hemsworth. Some reports are insinuating that these two events are related.
