What Parents Need to Know
This review of Metamorphosis was written by Cynthea Riesenberg
Parents need to know that even if they enjoyed The Lizzie McGuire Movie with their daughters, they may want to think twice about buying this album for younger children. On this CD, she ruminates pretty frankly about subjects like sexual temptation and the challenge of abstinence. If you've already bought the album, the lyrics are included in the liner notes, so you can check whether the content is appropriate for your child. If you haven't bought the album, you can review all the lyrics at www.lyrics.com.

More on Metamorphosis
What’s the Story?
The success of The Lizzie McGuire TV show and film has lured myriad young listeners to METAMORPHOSIS, Hilary Duff's sophomore solo album. Much of the subject matter concerns the familiar territory of teen romance ("Anywhere But Here") or teen breakup ("So Yesterday"). But Duff's sweet smile on the album cover is at odds with some sexual innuendo inside, and this partial clash with her McGuire image may be too blatant for some parents.
Is It Any Good?
Duff's spunky charm is still evident in upbeat tunes like "Come Clean," a defiant search for identity. But some parents may object to Duff's determined push for experience, whether for a kiss in "The Math," or something more worldly in "Party Up" and "Metamorphosis." So Duff's fans -- or at least their parents -- need to be aware of the product she's hawking here, which may not be as benign as they assume.

My FAVORITE for years!!!
I was listening to this CD when i was what? like 9 or 10? it was great then, and guess what? it's still great, 6 years later. sweet sixteen is great, my friend and i swore that would be the 1st song we heard on our 16th birthday, i kept my promise and loved every minute of it! this is one of the only cds that i will go back to and actually listen to. this cd is still great, and really there isn't anything to worry about. i have absolutely no problem sharing this cd with my 7 year old sister, it's that ok. but besides sweet sixteen, there are other great songs. and everything is really easy to just kick back and relax to. of course, it's not really easy to stay still when you're listening to the mat. (which i'm doing right now!!!!)

Hilary Duff METAMORPHOSIS
Hilary Duff...movies....tv.....music.....wait,lets go back. Music! Please I mean Hilary is cute, a good actress, funny but singing? Let me just say this isn't her forte.The LIZZIE MCGUIRE movie/tv star has an album. The songs are poppy basically ripping off Britney Spears's first album ...BABY ONE MORE TIME, with the cute bubbly beats and mindless lyrics. Also I was expecting this CD to be fluffy but I was suprised. She talks pretty frankly about make out sessions and first "love" in songs like "PARTY UP" and other songs. The single "SO YESTERDAY" is the ultimate downfall, Here is the absolutely rogue scholar written chorus, "So Yesterday, So Yesterday, So Yesterday, I'm like a bird, I've already flown away, Youre so yesterday, so yesterday", making us all feel smart.

Wow...Hilary's singing too??
Her cd is ok but I don't care for it. It is more for those little girls who liked Britney Spears' first cd...but Hilary's is cleaner. But it's more for girls around 9-11. Or the little girls who like her shopping line "Stuff from Duff" or something. I bought the cd and then after a couple songs it dawned on me that it's directed more toward little girls.

Hilary Duff is awesome! This album is one of my favorites. No wonder she's a big hit!

Not bad ...
I, as an adult, can see the point regarding the lyrics of Metamorphasis and Party Up. However, I think it would be a stretch to assume that most kids are going to see these things as sexual innuendo. This isn't my favourite cd - but it is far better than a lot of the rubbish out there.

Go back to the bigscreen
Hilary Duff is cute, a good actor, but going pop is just too far. Some songs are good, but just too bland. Beware of the DisneyChannel pop "stars".

I liked this CD
I really like this CD even though it talks about kissing sometimes its not like I'm going to walk up to someone I don't know and ask for a kiss. You just have to learn not to actually do what the CD is saying to do. And if you look at who wrote the songs Hilary Duff never actually wrote some of them the company she works for did. She can't help it she has to sing the songs or be fired.

I'm not a Hilary fan, but this is an okay album!
First off, I'd like to say that there is nothin' wrong with this album! No innuendo whatever that I know of. Honest to God. So don't get the wrong idea about this album! I'm not a Hilary Duff fan: I don't personally like her voice, there's nothing extroardinary about it or anything. But I bought this album several years ago when it came out, and I still listen to it every once and a while. There are some great, great songs on this album: "Come Clean", "So Yesterday", "Metamorphisis", "Anywhere But Here", "Little Voice", and "Where Did I Go Right?" are the highlights of the album. "Workin' It Out" is an okay, so/so, song; "The Math" is annoying...and bad...; "Love Just Is" is a little too happy for my tastes. =P "Sweet Sixteen" is too poppy for my tastes, "Party Up" is another annoying song, and I don't get "Inner Strength" at all. =p I don't like "Why Not", but that's just me. This album is worth the buy if you're into heavier teen pop, not the really fluffy stuff. Cause this album is sort of heavy...Yah...Definitly not Britney!

ok dance pop music for preteens
I don't think that there was as much sexual innduendo as csm said. She still has that clean image from Lizzie McGuire. Sure there are some hidden meanings in those songs, but I would rate this album as 8+.
