Wow, so just the title of this post and the picture already have me regretting starting this week. Goodbye loyal fans, goodbye rss subscribers, goodbye page views and advertisements, hello integrity. I said it five years ago, and today I’ll say it again. Of Hilary’s particular generation of lady cross over kinda stars she has the most potential for great things. Yes I was young when I said it the first time. Yes I was probably stupid and impressionable, but compared to Lohan, Spears, Aguilera, Lavigne and company, Ms. Duff, in my mind, has the most potential {still} of doing something truly great.
mp3 : Hilary Duff - Come Clean
I honestly don’t know why I used to like this song. Maybe it was the sweet music video? Maybe it was the fact that in 2003 when Metamorphosis (amazon) (itunes) was released I was still learning what I wanted in a good song? I’m not sure, but I’ve finally come out and come clean about Hilary Duff. I still think she shows a lot of potential, well, at least more than those she could be easily compared to.
I promised this series is almost over. In fact this might be the last post as I’m travelling over the weekend. Don’t fret, next week {or sooner} regular and awesome posts will resume. Most notably with something about Snow Patrol’s brilliant new album.

finally! another man that can own up to enjoying hilary duff’s music. i try to look at music objectively. sure, metamorphosis isn’t a masterpiece, but it’s a great pop record and i know the words to every song on there. people should be less pretentious when it comes to music. i listen to my gangster rap, my intense elctro, my artsy indie shit, and i can recognize good pop as well.
*sing ‘workin it out’*
tis true. i do love a good pure pop album every now and then. thanks for the support.
this is a lot in one week.
yeah, i’m still deciding if i’ll post another confession on friday. maybe something that’s just sort of awkward? not another full blown, i like someone who used to be on disney sort of awkward…
love it. and if you can (and should) forget katy perry i love your confessions. and i’m pretty sure you have more than 4 guilty pleasure artists. let’s be honest.
If you’re man enough to admit it, I’m man enough to accept it. Thanks for sharing.
So, I stumbled across The World Forgot when googling the Arcade Fire’s KCRW session, and decided to poke around a bit. And while I can’t say I share in this particular taste of yours (I haven’t, in all fairness, given her a fair shot), I’ve got to salute to your style. This has probably made a regular out of me.
