Hilary's voice isn't really that good. She has no vibrato or anything.
Very true, but then again, a lot of music artists learned how to sing
after they became stars. Bono and Kylie Minogue are a couple of examples and there are plenty of others.
The annoying thing about Hilary is that she doesn't write her own music or lyrics and I don't think she can play an instrument. She is bascially just a pop princess cashing in on her public profile from the Lizzie McGuire TV series. Good on her on that score and to the marketing people behind her rise.
I will say one thing though, she came to a few regional centres and played at smaller venues during her recent tour and the tickets were reasonably priced. My nine year old daughter adores her and went to her performance in Canberra. $69 compared with someone like Delta Goodrem, who she also likes, who wanted $99 at a much larger venue.
