Hilary Duff, "Someone's Watching Over Me"

[George Tropicana]

This is truly the stand out on her otherwise weak self-titled album. I hope if they follow-up with a single, they'll go with "Someone's Watching Over Me" than the career-threatening "Haters."

I think "Someone's Watching Over Me" can patch up Hilary's career right now and save her from a pitfall. This lyrics are touching and hit home; this is one of the few songs, if not the only one, on her new album where it sounds like she's singing from the heart. There's nothing wrong with experimenting with faux rock but don't make a whole album of it! "Someone's Watching Over Me" is the level where Hilary sounds at home and that's what listeners want to hear.

After "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "Fly"'s shortlived flights on the pop chart and the muted box office numbers of "Raise Your Voice," the lyrics to "Someone's Watching Over Me" never sounded more fitting. 

"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"

Even though the song was used prominently in "Raise Your Voice" and the movie tanked, there's no reason why it can't be a single. It could be a crossover Christian smash like Hoku's "You First Believed."

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! This is rumored to indeed be the next single.

Meh... it's alright. It'd be a great song if someone other than Hilary sang it.

I think it's extremely unfair that Hilary seems to be given the best songs out of the teen pop singers. They'd be so much better off sung by someone who actually deserves their recording contract.

It's an okay song.

I don't think Hilary's released a ballad/slower type song as a single yet. "Come Clean" might be the closest Hilary ballad singe.

Her label really screwed up by letting her debut album's "Where Did I Go Right" go unheard on the radio waves.
