Canoe Jam Music, Concert Review
Scotiabank Place, Ottawa - Sept. 5, 2007
Ottawa, and the rest of the world for that matter, just can't get enough of that teen queen Hilary Duff. The 19-year-old entertainer has released four albums over the past four years, including her latest collection of derivative dance numbers and ballads called Dignity. As if that wasn't enough, she's also done a couple of movies, designed her own line of tween wear and launched her own fragrance, "Stuff." Even with all that on her plate, Duff made time to walk through something that looked like a concert at Scotiabank Place last night. Talking about dignity, there wasn't much of it in this brazen parade of marketing-based entertainment. And much like her last visit in 2006, Duff worked the screaming bubblegummers and their parents over ruthlessly with a tightly choreographed but hopelessly robotic show. It opened with a truly deafening wail from 4,200 hormonally discharging teenaged girls as Duff dove into Playing With Fire, Danger and that theme song for dozens of acne cream ads, Come Clean. And when she leaned back, closed her eyes and belted that one out, it actually looked like she was singing. |
