Germans Love David Hasselhoff: In Italy, she's considered very popular. Must be why they had their own exclusive Greatest Hits Album called 4ever Hilary Duff in 2006, while she was taking a sort of hiatus.
Fandom Rivalry: Fans like taking shots at Ariana Grande's "Focus" video because it has some similarities to Duff's "Sparks".
Harsher in Hindsight: "Daddy's always there" in "Sweet Sixteen" can be seen as cringe-worthy considering her now-fractured relationship with her father, due to his cheating on her mother.
Sacred Cow: By some variation, Disney Channel fans will consider her the only early Disney Star besides Raven-Symone that didn't fade into obscurity or go seriously off the rails, something that sadly happened to later Disney stars (Aside from Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Ashley Tisdale, the Sprouse Twins, and somewhat with Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. And, of course, Miley Cyrus).
Signature Song: With the general public, the most likely candidate would be "Come Clean", no doubt helped by being the theme song to the reality series Laguna Beach. "Wake Up" or "So Yesterday" can also be considered in the running; "Why Not?" from the soundtrack to the Lizzie McGuire movie could also be said to qualify.
What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: Some people assume Hilary is a children's musician because she was on Disney. Many little kids like her and don't know what she's singing about. Not to mention she has a squeaky-clean image — no tattoos or piercings, for starters. But have parents (or the kids) bothered looking at the lyrics to her songs? While some of her songs are innocent enough, others have lyrics that young children might not understand, such as the following:
Little Voice ("When I see you I admit/I start to lose my grip and all of my cool...all I really want is you/ But there are some things a girl won't do").
Metamorphosis ("Come on and give me a kiss/Come on, I insist" ).
Party Up ("You roll me, you use me, you love me and then/You wrap me up and reel me in and use me again").
