i'm so glad that she didn't turn out like lots of the other child celebrities with drugs and alcohol. she is a true inspiration to many people and i will always be proud to be able to say i was influenced by her while growing up. she is amazing!
Yeah another idiots they’re called them selves a fan but yeah they criticize all she can’t dance she doesn’t sing live and also I know this was life could you tell is not like the album and I was like hold on sometimes she just sing live you know yeah she has the sink before so what Ruffin should care you’re really a fan you enjoy her stuff you know it’s not criticizing herI’m
I venture to say that this is not playback! It is the first video in which I can appreciate your hearing this song perfectly, his band and choir accompanying so amazing! That is coming out so cool! It's amazing how you can listen to her breath, at let me with my mouth open. Every day I'm glad that can sing live, God willing, one day I can see her in a show (Sorry for my English)
People who think she's lip syncing the whole thing, you are wrong. She's not lipsyncing, there's a vocal track overlaid over her voice during the chorus. I guess she doesn't think she can belt the whole song.
Nope, I've listened to several of her performances, and sometimes she doesn't hit certain notes(like the powerful note at the end of the bridge). The only thing that is pre-recorded is the chorus(which is overlayed).
You just explained what my original comment said. Everything here was implied. Except, you don't seem to understand that there was no recording or playback during the verses, nor was there any during the bridge.
As I said before all of her other performances of this song are lipsyncs, while this one is live(for the verses and most of the bridge that is). They don't sound "live", all they have is her stopping before the big note at the end. Other than that, they sound totally different.
in my opinion, she's only singing live the verses and the part right before the last chorus the rest did not feels like live to me sounds too good and too "studio-ish" to me
Yeah, but she's forcing her vocal cords rather than pushing her diaphram. I know cuz I'm a singer as well, and she lacks confidence in this video. That's why she also pushes her earbud inside her ear. All those things I do when I feel my voice is not warmed up properly, so I gotta save the sound by sacrificing my throat a little bit. Of course, It's not good and that's why when she tries to sing the endings or the parts that require air release, she sounds out of tune, because her throat is sore after the chorus
Actually you can see she is singing live here. There are a few places where you can see plenty of differences from the album version. I'm not a Hilary Duff fan really but I think from watching some of her live performances, her problem is that her voice sounds too much like the studio version (No heavy studio re-editing on her vocals), she also sings over playback so someone tunes her live vocal out when she gets "pitchy".
Hillary Duff Self-titled era was kinda like her "Under My Skin" era Avril- Under My Skin Hilary- self-titled Lindsay- A Little More Personal (Raw) Taylor- Speak Now
1st person. Great video. There's not a lot of Hilary Duff music from AOL. She is a great singer, actress, and role model. Shes even Miley Cyrus role model. Shes one of the best!!!!!
I agree with one of the previous comments. She didn't use heavy editing on her records, therefore, she sounds incredibly similar live. Just a personal opinion though. I could be wrong
Im not commenting this to get a reaction out of fans, im just commenting this for people like me who know about being an artist and what its like to LEARN how to sing. It's clearly evident (at least to me anyway) that the music industry/record label was forcing her to transition from acting to singing. (I HAVE BEEN A HILARY DUFF FAN SINCE BEFORE LIZZIE MCGUIRE FYI!!) I genuinely feel like she should have practice singing from her diaphragm and have more practice singing these songs. You can definitely see it in her eyes that she was slightly embarrassed and really frustrated that she couldn't reach those notes. You guys (the fans) have no idea how difficult it is for an artist to reach those notes when they're freshly introduced into music. I love Metamorphosis and was the first album i bought of hers and I know every song on the album. But I feel bad for Hilary in this video because I really wish producers worked with the artist a little longer until they're fully comfortable delivering the songs LIVE. and to answer everyone's question, yes SHE WAS SINGING LIVE in this video and her back up vocals were REALLY helping her.
Mate...I sing for a living, she’s lipsynching here. Not a note was out of place and that’s because it’s prerecorded and auto tuned and melodyned to hell and back. The bridge was specifically recorded for this performance to make it seem more like it’s actually live, it’s the only part that doesn’t sound exactly like the original recording, but even that section is not one take live what she’s singing in this video. None of this is, and I’m a huge fan I adore her, loved all her albums thought she had bops...but she just had serious pitch issues when singing live and Disney never allowed it to be seen out of the fear that it would hurt her record sales. She singlehandedly stopped Disney’s label, Hollywood Records, from going bankrupt! She was a cash cow for them.
D T no honey, she has been singing live for the first time in her life during her comeback. There are videos of her microphone being on at her very first tour, singing along with the track, but nothing other than that. Read all of my initial comment, Hollywood Records refused to let her show her raw voice because of how much was riding on her saving the studio from going bankrupt.
gmi g they left the flat notes in there to try to pass it off as live singing, those moments where there are flat notes are actually prerecorded with post processing (things like auto tune) turned off. Those fake “live” moments only last for a few seconds in the verses and then it switches over to the CD, post processed vocal track. If you watch any other “live” video of her singing Fly, you’ll find those exact same flat notes in every single one. It’s simply the CD voice track but altered with pitchy track inserts in the verses EDIT: it’s been a long time since I’ve listened to this, I just read my other comments, apparently those fake “live” pitchy inserts are also in the bridge
You can't not please everyone don't even try. For me back then or now Hillary Duffy is the best singer around and I am saying it now I good not saying back then I was watching Hillary Duffy on Lizzie McCarthy on Disney channel I loved that show back then good show it was.
it was parcial lipsync tho, it starts in the pre-chorus in "can you hear it calling..." and the whole chorus is her backing track with the second voices in a higher volume than her recorded voice. Its easy to notice as her voice sounds very different live. Parcial lipsync is something sooo used in the industry, even Mariah does it.
Look, I always loved Hilary Duff and her work, but no one can deny that she does lip-sync on almost all the songs unnecessarily. She doesn't dance, don't move very much the presentations. She starts singing live and begins from the moment comes when the high notes (she can very well sing them live!) comes playback. I stay outraged at such a thing!
I listened to this closely with headphones and this is actually completely live. The background vocals are actually sung by the background singers and not just her own voice dubbed over and over like it is on the record. That's a good indication that it's not pre recorded
I'm biased. I did not grow up listening to Demi Lovato. I think Hilary Duff and the other Disney stars are spectacular. Granted, I don't listen to Duff a lot but this song proves her talent and how how meaningful her songs are.
PORFIN LO ENCONTRE , BUQUE POR HRS ETE VIDEO. ETAS HERMOSA , TENEGO LOS OJOS CUADRADO DE VER TÚ VIDEOS UNA Y OTRA VEZ . YA CANTAN LOS GALLO , JAJA SON LOAS 7.30 DE LA MAÑANA. SOLO TE PIDO QUE TE QUEDES EN MIS SUEÑOS Y ABRAZA MI ALMA. 😘😘😘😴😴😴😴😴
i think that this is the only live version of the song and they decided to use this for all of her other "live" performances. I've cross referenced all of them and compared them and that is my conclusion. disagree with me after you have heard her other 5+ live performances
Omg she was so nervous the whole time, I wonder what was going on! Def not her normal bubbly self, I just wanna reach through time and give little baby Hilary a hug
No, no I love Hilary as much as everyone else here does. I grew up watching her for crying out loud but this is playback. No way is this live it sounds EXACTLY like the recorded version.
The backup singers probably hated that Hilary was the star. I love Hilary Duff but she is like Selena Gomez, they make great STUDIO music.
I never really listened to this song back in the day. Now it’s nostalgia
everybody is asleep in this performance meanwhile in the background a drummer is going mental.
The rapper
lol
omg this comment make me pay attention more to the drummer than hillary lol
They've probably had to redo it a couple of times.
He's always like that! His energy is always amazing! I love that about him, though.
I loved her pop-rock phase. It was when she sounded the best.
i'm so glad that she didn't turn out like lots of the other child celebrities with drugs and alcohol. she is a true inspiration to many people and i will always be proud to be able to say i was influenced by her while growing up. she is amazing!
Yeah love her and I am happy for her
AOL sessions was our tiny desk 😂
this song always gives me goose bumps
She has the perfect voice for pop-rock
wow! I'm glad I found a video of her NOT lip syncing because I love this song!
She’s lipsyncing the prechorus and chorus but the rest that is live actually sounds OK.
really good live vocals, i’m shook
I remember my mom showing me this when I was in the second grade.
She checked her earpeice twice to be on pitch. Her acoustics are phenomenal.
i respect her so much because she's basically the only female disney channel star that didn't go insane :)
This is worth more likes cuz it's live. It's not that perfect, but it has its value. Some people could criticize it, I truly like it though.
The sun flower
Yeah another idiots they’re called them selves a fan but yeah they criticize all she can’t dance she doesn’t sing live and also I know this was life could you tell is not like the album and I was like hold on sometimes she just sing live you know yeah she has the sink before so what Ruffin should care you’re really a fan you enjoy her stuff you know it’s not criticizing herI’m

Yes!!!! She lip-synces all the time bro
I love that she sounds almost exactly like the song on the album
Que bien se oye en vivo!
She rocks. I love her always
She's not fully lip-syncing, it's a mix between the two, especially during the chorus. It's a a great song, regardless
She lip-synces all the time bro
@@3mireiapascualI thought so too, but listen at 2:50
AOL Sessions are 100% live. She didn't lip sync on Jay Leno, and she didn't here either.
Love this song! Thanks Hillary!
one of my favorite songs. she's really amazing.
YOU HEARD HER, GUYS. Let go of yester.
lol.
13CrazyDaisies jajajajaja !!! good one
Yester = of or relating to yesterday (the past). it does technically makes sense. 😅
Yeah me too. Her voice gives me goosebumps!
I LOVE HILARY SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!
She's honestly a truly talented singer.
She can’t sing!
People who think she's lip syncing the whole thing, you are wrong. She's not lipsyncing, there's a vocal track overlaid over her voice during the chorus. I guess she doesn't think she can belt the whole song.

It's most likely not. I've taken a look at all of her other performances, and they're all just lipsyncs. In this one she actually sings.

I love her! From Argentina
Hillary Duff Self-titled era was kinda like her "Under My Skin" era
Avril- Under My Skin
Hilary- self-titled
Lindsay- A Little More Personal (Raw)
Taylor- Speak Now
Best person that ever came out of Disney.
I still love this song ❤
LOVE YOUR VOICE HILARY
Excellent Hilary
1st person. Great video. There's not a lot of Hilary Duff music from AOL. She is a great singer, actress, and role model. Shes even Miley Cyrus role model. Shes one of the best!!!!!

It's also pop music not opera.

uhuhuh1966 she sounds the same in her acoustic videos anyways even though if she lip sync here she actually sound the same live.

I LOVE HILARY MUSIC ❤️
You know it's live because she skipped the high note
it was parcial lipsync tho, it starts in the pre-chorus in "can you hear it calling..." and the whole chorus is her backing track with the second voices in a higher volume than her recorded voice. Its easy to notice as her voice sounds very different live. Parcial lipsync is something sooo used in the industry, even Mariah does it.
Then why would she not lipsync the high note instead of so obviously skipping it?
CheshireKat to make it sem live to idiots hahaha, looks like it worked perfectly
And then you watch Tattoo (Acoustic) and notices that she can hit the high notes.
i know it's live cause the whole thing is outta tune.
this was semi live, she lipsync some parts like the chorus and difficult parts.
Totally
Let go of yester 😂 what a way to dodge those high notes 🎉
she has a very poweful voice i hope she's still singing
yes, this is LIVE
She's definitely singing live in here.
Look, I always loved Hilary Duff and her work, but no one can deny that she does lip-sync on almost all the songs unnecessarily. She doesn't dance, don't move very much the presentations. She starts singing live and begins from the moment comes when the high notes (she can very well sing them live!) comes playback.
I stay outraged at such a thing!
Love this and her!!
no playback!! there is a original singer right here, and she calls HILARY DUFF!!!
Best to ever come out of Disney:
1 - Britney Spears
You forgot selena gomez
she's amazing!! she seems like she is singing in playback *___*
Esta musica en vivo Esta en uno de los discos que tengo yo de ella!!! ;0
she's amazing!!!!
The pre-chorus and chorus are pre-recorded (they sound exactly like the track & have perfect vocals), but she’s singing the verses & bridge live
I listened to this closely with headphones and this is actually completely live. The background vocals are actually sung by the background singers and not just her own voice dubbed over and over like it is on the record. That's a good indication that it's not pre recorded
She’s messing with her monitors too much forbit to be lipped
and look where she is now! :) she's such a role model!!!
she sounds good live...i wonder why she lip synced a lot of her concerts
Maybe don’t want to mess up during the song.
this is live, you can sense the nervousness in her voice..
I'm biased. I did not grow up listening to Demi Lovato. I think Hilary Duff and the other Disney stars are spectacular. Granted, I don't listen to Duff a lot but this song proves her talent and how how meaningful her songs are.
i like how she can sing live unlike other disney stars (um, selena gomez). she sounds almost exactly like she does on the album.
HILARY I LOVE YOU!!!!!
Hilary duff sweet voice I really love this song
2018 hermosa estaba 😗😙😚😍
0:10 That’s my boy Jason Hook(left) of Five Finger Death Punch😭🤘🏾. I feel like such a proud mother rn

She sounds so good! shes a good singer! i shouldnt say good i should say AWESOME!
2019 y! Nobody can say it's song old!
Que hermosa que es por Dioooooooos!
@ForeverDaPrincessXDD Yes she is... if you compare it to the CD you'll see she is :) Hilary always had a voice live very similar to the CD :)
PORFIN LO ENCONTRE , BUQUE POR HRS ETE VIDEO. ETAS HERMOSA , TENEGO LOS OJOS CUADRADO DE VER TÚ VIDEOS UNA Y OTRA VEZ .
YA CANTAN LOS GALLO , JAJA SON LOAS 7.30 DE LA MAÑANA. SOLO TE PIDO QUE TE QUEDES EN MIS SUEÑOS Y ABRAZA MI ALMA. 😘😘😘😴😴😴😴😴
YOUR AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think that this is the only live version of the song and they decided to use this for all of her other "live" performances. I've cross referenced all of them and compared them and that is my conclusion. disagree with me after you have heard her other 5+ live performances
also, i LOVE Hilary. I just wish they were ALL live. her voice is beautiful and is not meant to be perfect
agreed
watch her performance in Rio '08 she sung it 100% live and it sounded better with her actual vocals
omG she was nervous but still so amazing
yeah totally agree, hilary was selena's impiration when she started on disney :)
jajajaja que RISA el baterista en el minuto 1:15 PARECE QUE ESTÁ POSEÍDO
jajajjajajaj ._.
La baterista*
csm
por dios venía buscando este comentario. Me hizo reir toda la canción el batero. Re en otro mundo el flaco, jajajaja
Yo la amo :(
Her voice was so sweet
@chen94oi
i miss her 2 :( she is so talent and an amazing person
i love her voice & im so sad that she doesnt sing anymore :(
I like the outfit she is wearing (especially the hat), it is very cute with her blonde hair.
You can tell she did the lower parts live and but then she was lip syncing the higher parts with a prerecorded take. It was night and day.
Fantastic
Omg she was so nervous the whole time, I wonder what was going on! Def not her normal bubbly self, I just wanna reach through time and give little baby Hilary a hug
She might have the widest range or biggest voice but it's nice and she doesnt lip sync
Her range is insane. Go listen to “shine” and to “underneath this smile”
@etourdirsussie she did sing live, for aol sessions its mandated that they do so
o...o ella saco la canción en el 2004 D:
No, no I love Hilary as much as everyone else here does. I grew up watching her for crying out loud but this is playback. No way is this live it sounds EXACTLY like the recorded version.
@etourdirsussie .. I think she did im not to sure but aroun about 1:20 it kinda sounds like shes singing live :)
she's so good!
love it ! - 26/03/2017
Almost 10 years has passed since this...
I miss her so much.
ok.. this is truly live and she sings awesome.. so why does she use playback most of the time???
2020 anyone?. She is my ultimate crush way back 2000
hilary duff is one of few singers who dont need their voice edited to sound good... she sounds exactly like her videos.
Perfeito!
Totally Live yay!
