She may have played a teenaged girl mistaken for a pop star in
The Lizzie McGuire Movie, but after releasing a Christmas album in 2002, and crooning two songs on the movie’s soundtrack, Hilary Duff looks like she means business. The only trouble is, she doesn’t sound like it. Although dubbing her first album
Metamorphosis, the disc is anything but. Her singing is as coy and kittenish as her on-screen persona and she mugs her way through most of the 13 songs with charm and aplomb, but little natural singing talent. But to her credit, the actress has managed to cover a multitude of vocal sins by hiring a team of crack producers, who double her voice whenever possible, giving many of the tracks the rather anthemic feel of a cheerleading squad. The best songs on the disc are the three masterminded by the Matrix, the same production team that oversaw Avril Lavigne's hit disc and they give the lissome actress’s singing some attitude and grit, like on the infectious and spectacularly bratty "So Yesterday," and the cleverly conceived "Math," complete with heavy metal guitar riffs. But Duff is not inhabiting that saucy jailbait territory staked by Britney Spears. At the ripe old age sixteen, she’s much more Barbies than bustiers.

A review from a pop fan
Ok, I went through quite a bit of the reviews to figure out whether I should get the CD or not... and of course it was kind of useless because all there was, was too many people going "I LOVE HILARY, she's the best" and too many people going "I HATE HILARY, SHE SUCKS!" and I was like... ok..... like those are gonna help my decision. Truly, I don't think people should review unless they are into the type of music the artist is considered because mostly on a country album there'll be rap fans reviewing "THIS SUCKS" when they most likely dont have the album, and in this case, 23+ year old girls saying its just teeny bubblegum pop. OMG!!!!! What the heck do they expect. The Facts: Hilary Duff is 15, She is a teenage girl with a life, she is a beginning singer and yet there are people comparing her to Mariah Carey and Whiteney Houston???!?!?! First off, if you're into adult contemporary.. you shouldnt even be tempted to listen to this, and face the facts...

Don't Dismiss it Yet
Reviews should not be a flame war between those who hate stars and those who love them, each side ferociously clinging to their prerogative that their belief is the only true one. That being said, despite this CD's (many) flaws, the lovable Hilary Duff still triumphs.First, let's be honest; Duff is not a singer, and this CD makes that obvious (KMart's exclusive "Metamorphosis Remixed" CD makes this even more painfully obvious). However, she deserves bonus points for keeping her clothes on and not betraying her Disney fans by selling out her celebrity in favor of tube tops and skirts that may as well be belts. Further, Duff doesn't claim to be any more than she is, and is wise not to present herself as such. Thus, Duff delivers some truly catchy songs with good production. Voice lessons will undoubtedly make future albums compulsory in any pop music fan's collection.This is a good start, and any flaws the CD has are easily overlooked by catchy hits and Duff's...
