Hilary Duff's Reach Out

I can't seem to find an official Hilary Duff thread, but if there is one I'm sorry ^_^'

If you haven't heard the song or watched the video yet, here it is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JStfziF4duQ

At the moment, I'm having a love/hate relationship with the song. I usually don't like when songs that weren't originally about sex are turned into songs about sex. But at the same time, the song is very addictive.

Nonetheless, I like the video well enough. Some of the parts seem a bit lame or cheap, but all together I quite like it.

Opinions?

I LOVE that song. I'm addicted to it. I actually like that Hil's growing up. Shes not letting people's idea thats shes forever "young and innocent" stop her. Plus, shes getting older, and no doubt that shes probably become... active.

It was pretty okay, but i'm not used to her acting sexy. She has nice make-up in that video though.

I've always been a huge Hil Duff fan, but I'm not really feeling Reach Out. The video was great and I love the verses, but I've never liked Personal Jesus so the chorus really brings it down.

Doesn't it kind of have that sound that was in the SOS chorus in this chorus as well? If you listen well, you can hear it...

Two songs have used the same sample from Personal Jesus; this and Jamelia's Beware of the Dog, so they both sound pretty similar now. D: Not very original.

I was kind of surprised when I first saw that, I've been a Hilary Duff fan for a few years now and it feels awkward to see her doing a music video like this.

The song is okay but I like Holiday more!

LOL, The Best of Hilary Duff debuted at #125. Her first album to miss the top 5 I believe, let alone the top 100. It sold 5k.

However, in Hilary's defence this was only released so her contract with Hollywood aka Disney would end. She's now signed to Universal I believe. And the album wasn't available on iTunes.

Good news though! New album recording starts in less than two weeks! And Hil's gonna return to TV on an NBC show, too.

Holiday

Yeah, it came out last week. I'm glad it didn't sell well, because I just can't wait for her to move on to a label that actually cares about her. It's retarded that neither of the new songs are available to purchase online because who honestly wants to buy a comp from Hilary when she released one before her last album?

She didn't really promote this "Best" album at all, so I wouldn't expect it to release high. In fact, I didn't even hear about it being released until I saw the video go through the "What's being watched now" thing on Youtube.

Reach Out isn't a very good song, but the video is amazing! Holiday is waaaaaaay better!

Well Ive been iffy on Hilary since her horrible Dignity era. The only 2 good songs from that era was With Love and Gypsy Woman and sort of Play With Fire, the rest of the CD could have stayed in the trashcan.

As for the best of it had a bunch of my favs from her past, so I bought it. At first I hated Reach Out's video, but somehow it grabbed me and I ended up liking it. And the song itself is very addictive. If it were promoted at radio it probably would have been big.

Anyway.. I've supported Hilary from the start, so I'm not turning back now. I can't wait to see her future projects, I hope she'll do things that she likes. If no longer being a disney star is her thing, then so be it.

I realize she is trying to prove something to people, that she can be just as britney spears as the next one. But I personally didn't think she needed to go to this extreme. Anyway. I wish her well!
