Hilary Duff: 'I wanted to be just like Britney Spears'
Quote:
I always loved music, but I wanted obviously to be an actress. I was filming Lizzie McGuire for two years — we did like 65 episodes in two years. So after that I was like, ah, I gotta do something to not be Lizzie McGuire. And I loved her! And it was all good. But I was, like, just tired of doing the same thing every day, all day.
And I obviously loved Britney Spears, and I was like, I wanna be just like her! And I started singing. I started trying to sing, you know — getting vocal lessons and stuff like that. And that’s how it started.
Yes, this is no news but I do love the fact that she acknowledges the fact that she's no Christina, Whitney or Beyonce vocal-wise.
Which is fine as well, Britney's not the strongest vocalist either.
Pure pop music isn't solely about vocals anyway so I hate it when people criticize these artists for that reason.
You have to look at the total package.
