'''Tropes:'''

* BreakTheCutie: Terri already has a fairly tense relationship with her father, who is adamantly against her pursuing her passions in music. After the traumatic death of her brother, she's pressured into going anyway where she struggles to fit in, experiences stage-fright and anxiety, is antagonized by Robin, and despite forming a relationship with Jay, has to deal with him possibly cheating on her with Robin.

* FishOutOfWater: The basic premise of Terri's storyline at Bristol-Hillman, being that most of the students (particularly in the vocals program) have more classical training than her and are significantly less sheltered and more prepared for the L.A. scene.

* SadTimesMontage: Alternating between Terri and Jay after the latter is MistakenForCheating.

* SecondActBreakup: Robin [[ForcefulKiss plants a kiss]] on Jay seconds before Terri enters the room. Terri [[MistakenForCheating immediately runs off]], with Jay following after her in an attempt to [[ICanExplain explain]] [[NotWhatItLooksLike what really happened]].

* "Kiwi" Wilson (Johnny Lewis): FunPersonified as a HollywoodNerd

* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Denise is initially unfriendly to Terri, as [[TheDeterminator she doesn't want anything getting in her way of the scholarship offered to the best student at the end of the program]]. [[NegativeContinuity This doesn't last]].

* EatingLunchAlone: On one of her first days at the program, Terri, can't find a place to sit and has trouble talking to others.

* FakeRussian: Mr. Wesson, Bristol-Hillman's Russian-accented sight reading instructor, is played by the American-born Robert Trebor.

A movie which Music/HilaryDuff made during her ''Series/LizzieMcGuire'' phase that many believe showed her acting chops.

Yes, it's pretty much just as much a [[{{Cliche}} Cliché Storm]] as it sounds like, complete with a ConcertClimax.

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: Known as ''Listen To My Voice'' in Spain, ''The Girl in the Summer'' in Peru (because one Spanish title wasn't enough), ''A Star Is Born'' in Hungary, ''Chance of Success'' in Poland, ''Summer Tunes'' in Finland, ''Never Give Up!'' in the Czech Republic, ''The Summer of Terri'' in Greece, ''Follow your Dream'' in Portugal, ''The Trail of Fame'' in Brazil (because one Portuguese title wasn't enough), and ''Superstar'' in Russia.
