Today I suddendly remember a meaningful song of Hilary Duff. Can you guess it? The answer’s “SOMEONE’S WATCHING OVER ME” –yes , a very meaningful song. I become a fan of Hilary since I hear this song. If you hear it, you’ll love it like I do. Before, I’ll give you the lyric of this song. I’m sure you’ll like it right:
Someone's Watching over Me Lyrics
- Hilary Duff -
Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is just you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
Took this moment to my dreams
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over me

Hilary Erhard Duff (born September 28, 1987) is an American actress, singer, songwriter, dancer, film and music producer, fashion designer, and spokesperson. She has an older sister, Haylie Duff, who is also an actress/singer.
After gaining fame for her starring role on the television show Lizzie McGuire, Duff went on to have a film career, and her most commercially successful pictures include Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003), and A Cinderella Story (2004). She reportedly earned $15 million in 2005.[1] Duff has expanded her repertoire into pop music, with three RIAA certified-platinum albums and over thirteen million albums sold worldwide,[2] and she has launched a clothing line, Stuff by Hilary Duff, and an exclusive perfume with Elizabeth Arden.
Her upcoming films include the 2007 action thriller War, Inc. and animated comedy Foodfight!.[3] Duff's latest studio album, Dignity, was released in April 2007
Duff was born in Houston, Texas, the second child of Robert Erhard Duff, owner of a chain of convenience stores, and Susan Colleen (nee Cobb), a homemaker. Her middle name is the maiden name of her part German-American paternal grandmother, Mary Erhard; Duff also has German ancestry on the part of her maternal grandmother, Amy Beulah Schlemmer.[citation needed] After Duff's mother encouraged her to take an acting class alongside her older sister, Haylie Katherine Duff, both girls won parts in various local theater productions. At the ages of eight and six, respectively, the Duff sisters participated in the ballet The Nutcracker Suite with Columbus Ballet Met in San Antonio. The siblings became more enthusiastic about the idea of acting professionally, and eventually relocated to California with their mother. Bob Erhard Duff stayed at the family home in Houston to maintain their business.[4] After several years of auditions and meetings, the Duff sisters were cast in several television commercials
Early works
Most of Duff's first few acting roles were small, starting off with an uncredited appearance in Hallmark Entertainment's western miniseries True Women (1997). She also served as an extra, again uncredited, in writer-director Willard Carroll's ensemble dramedy Playing by Heart (1998). Her first major part was as the star of the 1998 film Casper Meets Wendy, playing the young witch Wendy, who encounters the animated character Casper. Like Casper: A Spirited Beginning (1997), the second sequel to the successful Casper (1995), the film was released direct-to-video with mostly unenthusiastic reviews.
Duff later appeared in a supporting role in the television film The Soul Collector (1999), which was based on a Kathleen Kane novel and starred Bruce Greenwood as an angel who helps out a female farmer (Melissa Gilbert) whose husband has recently died. Duff won a Young Artist Award for "Best Performance in a TV Movie or Pilot (Supporting Young Actress)".
Duff's first serious shot at fame came when she was cast as one of the children in the pilot episode of the NBC sitcom Daddio (2000). Actor Michael Chiklis, co-star of Daddio stated, "After working with her the first day, I remember saying to my wife, 'This young girl is going to be a movie star'. She was completely at ease with herself and comfortable in her own skin."[5]
Lizzie McGuire
Before Daddio had aired, Duff was dropped from its cast lineup and became reluctant to continue her acting career. Her manager and mother spurred her on, and a week later she successfully auditioned for the family comedy show Lizzie McGuire. In the series Duff portrayed a clumsy but average middle school girl. The show focused on her life and her slow growth into teenhood. Actors that starred alongside her included Lalaine, Adam Lamberg, Jake Thomas, Clayton Snyder, Ashlie Brillault, Robert Carradine, and Hallie Todd.
Lizzie McGuire, which first aired on the Disney Channel in January 12, 2001, was a ratings hit, drawing in 2.3 million viewers per episode,[5] and became the career breakthrough Duff had been waiting for. Her participation in the show led to her becoming highly popular among children between the ages of seven and fourteen, with critic Richard Huff of the New York Daily News calling her "a 2002 version of Annette Funicello."[5] After Duff fulfilled her entire sixty-five episode contract with Lizzie McGuire, Disney considered continuing the franchise in further films and a prime-time television series to be broadcast on ABC, but the plans deteriorated. A successful feature film spin-off, The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003), was produced.
Other projects
During her time on Lizzie McGuire, Duff starred opposite
Christy Carlson Romano and
Gary Cole in the Disney Channel television film
Cadet Kelly (2002), which became the network's most watched program in its nineteen-year history.
[5]Duff has made several guest appearances in television shows, her first as a sick child in the medical drama
Chicago Hope in March 2000.
[6] In a 2003 episode of
George Lopez, she had a role as a makeup salesperson, and she later reappeared in the show in 2005 as a feminist poet friend of Carmen (
Masiela Lusha), a character whose poetry had roots in the work of
Simone de Beauvoir,
Toril Moi, and Ranjit Hakim. She acted opposite her sister Haylie as the 1960s pop group
The Shangri-Las in
American Dreams in 2003, and played a classmate and idolizer of the title character of
Joan of Arcadia in a 2005 episode. During her Most Wanted tour, she performed in
Guadalajara,
Mexico, where she filmed a brief appearance on the soap opera
Rebelde. She was also the guest star on
The Andy Milonakis Show for its third season premiere in 2007.
[7]
Film career
2003–2004
Her first major role in a feature film was in the family action film
Agent Cody Banks with
Frankie Muniz in 2003. The film received positive reviews and was successful enough to spawn a sequel, in which Duff did not participate. Afterwards, Duff reprised her role as Lizzie McGuire for The Lizzie McGuire Movie, which exceeded box office expectations earning $55,534,455 worldwide.

Later that year Duff played one of the twelve children of Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt in the family film Cheaper by the Dozen, which remains her highest grossing film. She reprised her role in the sequel to the film called Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005), which failed to be as financially successful as the original film and was panned by critics.
In 2004, Duff starred in the romantic comedy A Cinderella Story, an update of Charles Perrault's fairy tale Cinderella. The film became a moderate box office hit, and though reviews were mostly negative, some critics were impressed by Duff's performance and her chemistry with co-star Chad Michael Murray. A Cinderella Story earned $66,068,046 worldwide and was a commercial success.[10] Later that year she starred in the film Raise Your Voice, her first starring role in a drama film. Some critics praised Duff for appearing in a more dramatic role than previously, but the film was heavily panned, with the Las Vegas Weekly writing: "Effortlessly combining Duff's bad acting and bad singing with bad writing and bad direction, Raise Your Voice is an insulting waste of time that begs to be silenced." Several reviews were negative to Duff's vocals (several critics pointed out what appears to be her digitally enhanced voice)[11][12][13][14] and indifferent towards her acting performance. The film received a muted reception at the box office, and is Duff's least successful film commercially, with total theater receipts of just $13,573,284.[15] Duff received her first Razzie nomination for worst actress for her roles in Raise Your Voice and Cinderella Story'.[16]
2005–2006

In The Perfect Man (2005), she played the oldest daughter of a divorced woman (Heather Locklear), who moves to New York City as she desperately searches for love. Reviews were mostly negative and the film disappointed at the box office, grossing $19,770,475 globally.[17] That year, Duff was again nominated for a Razzie Award, for both The Perfect Man and Cheaper by the Dozen 2.[18] The 2006 satirical comedy Material Girls, in which she co-starred with her sister Haylie, also disappointed, grossing only $14,189,525 worldwide.[19] The Martha Coolidge-directed film, co-produced by Madonna's independent film production company Maverick Entertainment, starred the Duffs as wealthy siblings who must fight to reclaim their fortune following a scandal. For the film, Hilary was nominated for another two Razzie awards.[20]
2007
The Duff sisters are due to lend their voices to the computer animated comedy
Foodfight!, which
Lions Gate Films is to distribute in 2007. The film's director, Larry Kasanoff, said that he is "absolutely thrilled to have the Duff sisters as part of the cast."
[21] Duff is currently slated to star opposite
John Cusack in
War, Inc., due for release in late 2007.
Music career
2002–2004
In 2002, Duff recorded a cover of Brooke McClymont's "I Can't Wait" for the original television soundtrack for Lizzie McGuire, and "The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room" for the first DisneyMania compilation album.
Duff's 2003 album, Metamorphosis.
Her first album was
Santa Claus Lane (2002), a collection of Christmas songs that included duets with
Lil' Romeo,
Christina Milian, and her sister Haylie. Accompanied by the Disney Channel-only single "
Tell Me a Story (About the Night Before)", it reached the lower half of the U.S.
Billboard 200 album chart and was
certified gold.
[22] The track "
Santa Claus Lane was included on the soundtrack to
The Santa Clause 2 and another song, "What Christmas Should Be", was used in Cheaper by the Dozen. Duff sang several tracks for the 2003 soundtrack to The Lizzie McGuire Movie (see
The Lizzie McGuire Movie (soundtrack)), including "
Why Not", which became a top twenty hit in
Australia.

Duff's second album and first
studio album,
Metamorphosis (2003), reached number one on the U.S. and Canadian charts. It became one of the biggest selling albums of the year in the U.S. and has since gone to sell over 3.7 million copies.
[23] The lead single, "
So Yesterday" (co-written and produced by
The Matrix), was a top ten hit in several countries and its
music video received heavy airplay on
MTV; its follow-up, the
Laguna Beach theme song "
Come Clean", became Duff's first top forty U.S. hit
[24] and reached the top twenty elsewhere. The third single, "
Little Voice", was not released in the U.S. and was a minor hit in Canada and Australia. In late 2003, Duff embarked on her first
concert tour, the Metamorphosis Club Tour, and later the Most Wanted tour. Most shows in the major cities included on the tour were sold out
[25].
The second DisneyMania disc,
DisneyMania 2, was released in January 2004 and contained a duet with her sister, "The Siamese Cat Song". Another song, "
Circle of Life", featured Duff and other Disney Channel stars. Duff and her sister recorded a cover of
The Go-Gos' "
Our Lips Are Sealed" for the soundtrack to A Cinderella Story, which included two other songs by Duff. The video for "Our Lips Are Sealed" was popular on MTV's
TRL, but the song failed to chart on the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100.
[24]

Hilary Duff, which she said had an edgier,
rock feel than Metamorphosis. It was released on her seventeenth birthday (in September 2004) and debuted at number two in the U.S. and at number one in Canada. The album sold over 1.5 million copies in the U.S. in eight months,
[23] but its only U.S. single, "
Fly", failed to chart on the Hot 100,
[24] despite being accompanied by a popular video. "Fly" reached the top forty in Australia, where the album produced a second top forty single, "
Someone's Watching over Me"
[26], which was the theme song of the film Raise Your Voice. Duff contributed the song "(I'll Give) Anything but Up!" for the 2004 album
Marlo Thomas & Friends: Thanks & Giving All Year Long (2004), before continuing nine more months of the Most Wanted Tour.

Duff's fourth album,
Most Wanted (2005), comprised her favorite tracks from her previous two albums, remixes, and new songs inspired by pop-rock musicians such as
The Killers and
Muse. Duff stated that it was not a
greatest hits album, but that her label told her it was time to release a new album. She had more creative control over Most Wanted compared to her previous releases, co-writing the new material with producers
Joel Madden and his brother,
Benji, both of the band
Good Charlotte. The lead single, "
Wake Up", became Duff's highest peaking single on the U.S. Hot 100 at the time,
[24] and its video received heavy rotation on MTV. The video for the second single, "
Beat of My Heart", was also popular, but the single itself did not chart in the U.S.
[24] The album itself debuted at number one on the Billboard 200
[27] and became her third number-one debut in Canada. An
Italy-only compilation,
4Ever, was released in 2006. Duff recorded new songs for her
Madonna-produced film Material Girls, including a
Timbaland-produced cover version of Madonna's "
Material Girl" with her sister.
[28]2007
For Duff's third studio album,
Dignity, she co-wrote material with
Kara DioGuardi, who co-produced the album with
Rhett Lawrence,
Richard "Humpty" Vission,
Tim & Bob and others. Duff said that compared to her previous music it would be "more
dancey" and make use of more real instruments. "I don't know exactly how to explain what we're doing, but it's fun and funky and different, something new for me. It's really cool", she said.
[29] She has also described the album's sound as "a little less
pop-rock and more
electronic-sounding".
[30]
Duff on the red carpet at the 2007 MuchMusic Video Awards.
The first single, "Play with Fire", became a minor club hit but failed to chart in the U.S.; the second single, "With Love", was more successful, becoming Duff's biggest U.S. Hot 100 hit and topping the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.[24] The music video for "With Love" was used as the commercial for Duff's first fragrance, With Love... Hilary Duff, which was launched in September 2006; the video reached number one on Total Request Live. Initially slated for release in late 2006,[31] the album was released in April 2007 in North America and earlier elsewhere. It reached the top five in the U.S. and Canada, the top twenty in Australia and the top forty in the UK. A tour in support of the album is scheduled. The third single from the album is "Stranger".
Entrepreneurship
Duff launched a clothing line, Stuff by Hilary Duff, in March 2004, with clothes distributed through Target in the United States, Kmart in Australia, Zellers in Canada and Edgars in South Africa. The company started out as a clothing line but has expanded to furniture, fragrances, and jewelry and it is aimed at the teen and preteen crowd.[32] Playmates Toys released a celebrity doll of her in 2004.[33] In September 2006, Duff released her perfume, With Love... Hilary Duff, which she premiered on The View.[34]
Duff and her pet dog Lola made an appearance in the Electronic Arts game The Sims 2: Pets, which was released on October 2006. In console versions of the game, Duff's character will visit public areas and players will be able to let their sims socialize with her and Lola, the dog. However, in the PC expansion pack, players must download the Duff sim from the Maxis website before December 31 she and her dog will be fully playable characters, rather than a non-player character.[35] Duff, along with celebrities Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson have been criticized for their displaying of the dogs as fashion accessories rather than pets.[36]
Personal life
Duff appeared at MuchMusic in Canada on April 23, 2007 to promote her music.
Duff began dating singer
Aaron Carter in 2002. They met on the set of
Lizzie McGuire, when Carter had a cameo role on a Christmas episode. The relationship lasted a year and a half. It was reported that Carter left actress Hilary Duff for
Lindsay Lohan, then broke up with Lohan and resumed dating Duff. Carter said he also cheated on Duff with her best friend, that Duff "got her heart broken" and that he is "sorry" for his actions.
[37] Claymation facsimiles of Duff and Lohan appeared on the celebrity wrestling series
Celebrity Death Match on
March 23,
2007. Duff and Lindsay Lohan were later reported to have been involved in a "feud" with each other, over their relationship with Carter.
[38] As of 2007, Duff and Lohan had reconciled. Lohan attended the release party for Duff's album
Dignity and Duff told
People magazine that she thought Lohan was "fun" and "a nice girl".
[39]In 2004, reports claimed that
Avril Lavigne and Duff were fighting. "I read that I was supposedly mad at my fans for dressing like me," Newsweek quotes Lavigne as saying. "They quoted Hilary Duff saying, 'Avril needs to appreciate her fans more and blah, blah, blah.' I'm like, excuse me? First off, it's not even true. I never said that. And second, who the hell cares what she has to say about my fans? Whatever. Hilary Duff's such a goody-goody, such a mommy's girl." Recently, there were reports of drama between the two at a Maxim party in New York - with a complication in arrival times causing an unwanted run-in. Lavigne was said to be furious, pacing around and pressuring her company to leave.
[40]Duff began dating
Good Charlotte singer
Joel Madden in 2004.
[41] Duff's mother Susan announced their relationship in the June 2005 interview for
Seventeen magazine, after a long period of tabloid speculation.
[42] In a June 2006 interview with
ELLE magazine, Duff stated "...(
virginity) is definitely something I like about myself. It doesn't mean I haven't thought about sex, because everyone I know has had it and you want to fit in."
[43] Duff later told
MuchMusic that she didn't say the quotes attributed to her in the article and that the subject was "definitely not something that I would talk about..."
[44] Duff and Madden broke up in November 2006.
[45]. Soon after their break up, Madden started to date
Nicole Richie. The story reports that though Hilary kept quiet at first but now, she’s lashing out. First, she labeled Joel and Nicole’s relationship a "rebound" and said in the August issue of Seventeen magazine that she "felt disrespected that he moved on so quickly." Then in the new issue of Hollywood Life, she took a jab at his new high-profile lifestyle with Nicole, saying that when she was with Joel, "It would’ve been cheesy to be a couple that just loves to go out and get photographed. So you do wonder why they do it now when they were so against it before?"
In late 2006, Duff took legal action against an alleged stalker and the stalker's roommate.
[46] On
November 3,
2006, Duff's stalker, Maksim Miakovsky, was arrested for threatening to kill her that weekend. He was booked on charges of making criminal threats and stalking. He came to the U.S. "for the sole purpose of meeting and becoming romantically involved with Ms. Duff." Miakovsky is being held on $200,000 bail at the Manhattan Beach jail. He was arraigned on
November 7,
2006.
[47] On
January 19,
2007 Miakovsky was sentenced to 117 days in jail and five years probation after pleading no contest to the charges, according to the Associated Press.
[48]Duff is involved with several
charities, is an
animal rights enthusiast, a member of Kids with a Cause,
[49] and has donated
US$250,000 to help the victims of
Hurricane Katrina.
[50] In late August 2006, Duff traveled to a
New Orleans elementary school and worked with USA Harvest to distribute meals. In 2005, she donated over 2.5 million meals to Hurricane Katrina victims in the south.
[51]In August 2005, Duff said she received
veneers because she chipped off one of her front teeth on a microphone during a concert.
[52] She subsequently had her veneers redone to match the size of her original teeth.
[53][54] By 2005, Duff appeared to have lost weight, leading the media to speculate that she had developed an
eating disorder, although Duff has denied this claim.
[55] Duff was interviewed on the Australian current affair show
Today Tonight and stated that she lost weight by living a more active lifestyle.
Later, an article on
Digital Spy stated that in 2006, Duff slimmed down to a U.S.
size zero because of the media reporting she had gained fifteen pounds.
[56] She said she has been feeling pressure to be thin, stating that she is perceived in the media to be either too fat or too thin. Duff called this "judgmental" and "mean".

WOO WOO WOO- SO ATTRACTIVE
And now, let’s me show you some of her song lyrics:
Come Clean (Remix 2005)Let's go backBack to the beginningBack to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfectTrying to fit a square into a circleWas no lieI defy[CHORUS:]Let the rain fall downAnd wake my dreamsLet it wash awayMy sanity'Cause I wanna feel the thunderI wanna screamLet the rain fall downI'm comimg clean, I'm coming cleanI'm sheddingShedding every colorTrying to find a pigment of truthBeneath my skin'Cause differentDoesn't feel so differentAnd going out is betterThen always staying inFeel the wind[CHORUS]I'm coming cleanLet the rain fallLet the rain fallI'm coming clean[CHORUS]Let's go backBack to the beginning
STRANGERNobody believes me when I tell them that you're out of your mind.
Nobody believes me when I tell them that there's so much you hide.
You treat me like a queen when we go out,
wanna show everyone what our love's about.
All wrapped up in me whenever there is a crowd,
But when no ones around;
There's no kindness in your eyes,
he way you look at me, it's just not right.
I can tell whats going on this time,
Theres a stranger in my life.
You're not the person that I once knew.
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do,
Then they would see a stranger too..
Did I ever do anything that was this cruel to you?
Did I ever make you wonder who was standing in the room?
You made yourself look perfect in everyway,
So when this goes down, I'm the one that will be blamed.
Your plan is working so you can just walk away,
Baby your secret's safe.
There's no kindness in your eyes,
he way you look at me, it's just not right.
I can tell whats going on this time,
Theres a stranger in my life.
You're not the person that I once knew.
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do,
Then they would see a stranger too..
Such a long way back, from this place we arrived.
When I think of all the time I've wasted, I could cry..
There's no kindness in your eyes,
he way you look at me, it's just not right.
I can tell whats going on this time,
Theres a stranger in my life.
You're not the person that I once knew.
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do,
Then they would see a stranger too..
There's no kindness in your eyes,
The way you look at me, it's just not right.
I can tell whats going on this time,
Theres a stranger in my life.
You're not the person i once knew.
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do,
Then they would see a stranger too..
