Duff Wonders Why She's Not On the Radio

Teen queen Hilary Duff does sell a fair number of records, but she seems a bit miffed that she doesn't hear herself enough on the radio. Duff told Elle Magazine: "I feel like I do so much. And it strikes me that I don't hear myself on the radio. That critics don't really talk about my music. I mean, a song like 'Wake Up' is not for a 50-year-old man with arthritis who doesn't want to get out of bed."

I'm not sure why Hilary doesn't get more airplay, but I do know that insulting the radio people isn't a step in the right direction. Of course, if her masses of fans simply call in to request her songs the radio would surely play them, right? Isn't that how it works?

3. It's called "Pay-for-Play" and I don't believe Hollywood Records (Hilary Duff's current label) play by the game, which is a good thing. Her recent stuff has been really good, though.

4. she is so skinny now she looks grose. Maybe if she loses the anorexic look, she would attract more fans

5. well i think she should get in to the stuff that teens are in not lil kids ..
i mean all the songs she makes just seem kiddieish and if she keeps doin stuff like that she should just stay at disney.......but she is a great singer

6. She needs to just settle down. Back in the day they didn't play Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden or Led Zeppelin on the radio either. Did it hurt their career? Not one bit. Not to mention that there are millions of other musicians who work just as hard, if not harder than Ms. Duff and they NEVER hear their music on the radio, see their face on Disney Channel or on the TV pushing some brand my Minty-Gum. Ms Duff needs to stop acting like a spoiled brat and just enjoy what level of fame she has achieved and appreciate the fact that millions of other VERY talented musicians will never know that same level.

7. I adimire Hilary Duff, not for her "amazing music" but for her determination to hear her music on the radio. She's NOT acting like a spoiled brat, she's just working for what she wants, which more singers would be well to do. ROCK ON HILARY!!!

9. I think that Hilary Duff is some one to look up to but she needs to get over her self. Just because she doesn't get as much airtime as let's say.....Mariah Carey doesn't mean anything. Plus she's way too skinny.

10. i agree with Zoey Smith. i mean hilary has worked VERY VERY VERY hard to get were she is. she has manu many fans becasue like over half of her shows were sold out! the "level" she at is one like kelly clarkson. Kelly has tons of her songs on the rdio why shouldn't hilary? and whos to say hilary is skinny, i mean mary kate or ashley olsen (which ever one had the disorder) is anorexic.. not hilary. and she is NOT i repeat NOT a copy cat. yea, yo fool, jhgvbdsph (or # 8), if she copy catting someone who is it? i didn't see a name of who she is copying... maybe it's because... SHE'S NOT COPYING!!! SMART ONE! ur probably just jealous because you fools aren't as SKINNY or FAMOUS as her so your baggin on her, but i bet if you had the chance to meet her you'd be like "oh,oh! can i have your autograph and a picture. Please i think your AWESOME!" and don't deny it becsue i bet you $20 you would... any of you! Like Zoey Smith said... ROCK ON HILARY!

11. I agree with the other poster, her music is childish. And it sucks. The way she carries herself, it's no wonder no one wants to play her music. The stations are too busy talking smack about them.

Too childish.

Example: What she said about her b/f growing up in the ghetto. (lol)
Example: When she was on TRL with her sister.

13. I used to think that she was okay until she started getting too thin, and braggy and so bratty. I used to be a big fan

14. I think Hilary is a great all around performer and very talented. and whoever says she is a spoiled brt is wrong and needs to fall back and regroup there thinking. she trys hard to get where she is and deservesd to be great

she is also a dear freind

she does deserve to have her songs played on the radio and wherever else.
she is a superstar and has a beutiful voice. and so what if her songs are kid types? that means she has good family values and her music is wholesome.

she should not have to change for anyone. her music fits into the family core and thats how it should be. and that helps make her a darn good performer and should win some awards weither it be the grammys or whatever she needs to win and i will always support her , and be n my mission untill she does win.

15. oh and another thing, Hilary looks good no matter what and she has what it takes to be beutiful isuide where it really counts. yes she is very retty but shouldnt her true fans be seeing what she has inside where it really matters? she is a loving caring person with good family values, ansd i am proud to have her as my freind too.
