An awesome compilation. August 22, 2005 50 out of 52 found this review helpful
One thing I noticed about this compilation is that it features pretty much every track Hilary herself has ever written. This extended edition (which should have been the standard, in my opinion), however, features 4 extra tracks (all-new ones at that) that she did NOT write so it's clear why this wasn't the standard edition. The songs on this collection are among her most stunning and mature and the remixes certainly help that as well.
1. Wake Up - An AWESOME single! Hilary's first single written by her. The vocal arrangments on the hooks remind me of Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love Of All" for some reason and the rest sounds very Puffy AmiYumi. It blends the best elements of both pop/rock AND dance. A great way to kick off both the album and a new era of Duff. 7/5 2. The Getaway - The first "old" track on the album, but definitely a favorite from her sophomore album. Features a darker side of her as she practically describes a stalker. Sounds very creepy. 5/5 3. The Beat Of My Heart - Yet another song written by Hil. Hilary Duff's first true dance song since "What Dreams Are Made Of" from the Lizzie Movie, only with a more mature "club" sound. 5/5 4. Come Clean (Chris Cox edit) - This remix basically sounds like the original only set to a faster pace - until it hits the chorus, then it becomes techno! It's nice to have 2 dance tracks back-to-back, especially since many of Duff's fans are into dance music, yet it seems to be something missing from her overall catalog. It stays true to the original, yet makes for an amazing dance tune. 4/5 5. Who's That Girl (acoustic) - This song had always been my favorite Hilary Duff track, since it was so emotionally charged and she turned in her best vocal delivery...so I was skeptical about hearing an acoustic version, but she TRULY pulls it off! While her voice doesn't sound QUITE as strong as the original, the way it just sounds so RAW and natural just makes it even more heart-wrenching and emotionally charged. Simply fantastic. 10/5 6. Mr. James Dean - Written by Hilary. Never a raving favorite of mine, but somehow it works better on this album than her last. 4/5 7. So Yesterday - A song that needs to be a part of every modern pop fanatic's collection. 5/5 8. Metamorphosis - This song was a favorite of mine, and while it was supposed to be mature on her debut, it sounds sliiightly out of place here. It would've been nicer remixed. Like maybe the way she performs a heavy metal version in concert, or a dance mix? The first song Hilary wrote. 4/5 9. Rock This World (2005 Remix) - WOW! I absolutely hated this track and it went down as my least favorite Duff track and sounded so fake and horrid. But on this collection, the new harder rock sound actually works and sounds AWESOME! (Yet another penned by Hilary) 5/5 10. Break My Heart - A GREAT track. Hilary adopts a garage punk type sound. But still sounds true to her original sound - and she wrote it! 5/5 11. Jericho (Remix 2005) - Written by Hilary. I loved the original, and this one stays true to it, but places a hard-edged beat. In doing this, it sort of loses its sentimental feelings, but yet stays true to the entire meaning of the song. I like the original better. 3/5 12. Fly - An awesome song. I like it better here than I did on the album it came from. 5/5 13. Supergirl - A good song, but not as good as the other 3. Or well, not as different from her previous material as her others are. But still great! 5/5 14. Party Up (2005 Dance remix) - Not nearly as good as the original. Sounds like the typical bad out-of-tune garage-y dance remix found on today's Club Charts. 2/5 15. Girl Can Rock (remix) - Not listed as a remix, but it is. The beginning is totally different from the original and the song is made to sound a lot heavier rockish, but still VERY awesome! 5/5 16. Our Lips Are Sealed - A nice duet that puts a rock-yet-kid-friendly spin on the original. 5/5 17. Why Not? - A remix OF a remix! It takes the Metamorphosis remix of the tune and makes it sound harder. Sounds great. Captures the live concert feel of the song. 4/5 18. Do You Want Me? (live) - A great live version of the song. Captures the live feel efficiently. 4/5
Much much better September 29, 2005 12 out of 13 found this review helpful
Yep, this collector`s edition is the best buy if you like Hilary and want to have the entire new songs and remixes and new versions of her songs from the Cd Hilary Duff.
I mean I ran and bought the most wanted and then I went into amazon.com and discovered this one and I was like "AAAAAH!!" and of coarse I bought it right away and I don`t regret it because it includes the "supergirl" song not included in the normal one, "who`s that girl" "Jericho" "Party up" in a 2005 remix not included in the normal one so it is not that you will buy the same cd twice. plus in the collector`s you have autographed pictures of Hilary!!!
This is Hilarys "Most Wanted" August 17, 2005 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Once i put this cd into my player, i couldn't stop listening to it. Every song on here is really good.
1. Wake Up-3:38-New Song: This is her first single and it hit #1 on TRL. This is an upbeat pop song that makes you want to dance. This was produced by the Dead Executives (Joel and Benji from Good Charlotte) and Hilary wrote it with them.
2. The Getaway-3:37-From her self-titled album: This is one of my favorites from her 2nd CD. It was actually going to be a single at one point too. She talks about a relationship like she's driving. "Is this just a detour/Cause i gotta be sure/That you really mean what you say"
3. Beat Of My Heart-3:09-New Song: All the new songs on this album are great and this one is no exception. It opens with a heartbeat and then she starts singing the verse. It's a techno song. it builds up after the second chorus when she starts singing "Away Away, Away Away." Overall, a fun song to dance to.This was also produced by the Dead Executives and they co-wrote it with hilary.
4. Come Clean (Chris Cox Remix)-3:44-From "Metamorphosis": This was her second single from her debut album. This remix is better than the original. It has more of a dance feel to it and it stretches some of the vocals.
5. Who's That Girl (Acoustic Version)-3:26-From her self-titled album: I'm not sure which one i like better. The original has more of a rock vibe, but this one is stripped down and more soft in the begining. But it's a good song though. The guitars, drums, and violins make for a great final chorus.
6. Mr. James Dean-3:29-From her self-titled album: Hilary co-wrote this with her sister, Haylie, who also co-produced it. It has a great rock vibe. She uses soft verses, and then kicks it up with a loud chorus. My favorite part is where she softly sings "Here we are/face to face/same energy/you and me/don't wanna be/enemies."
7. So Yesterday-3:35-From "Metamorphosis": This is her 1st single off her debut album and if you don't know it, where have you been for the past 2 years? This song was produced by The Matrix and it has a cool pop vibe.
8. Metamorphosis-3:38-Title track from her debut CD: This song has a dance feel and any teen can relate to it. It talks about the changes you go through and the transition you make as a teenager. I like the little rap part she does in the 3rd verse. "Metamorphosis/Whatever this is/Whatever i'm going through..." Hilary co-wrote this song.
9. Rock This World (Remix 2005)-3:58-From her self-titled album: It's not really different from the original. It has a shorter begining, it focuses more on the guitar and the "oh" over the final chorus in the original, is takin' out. But overall a better version. Hilary co-wrote this song.
10. Break My Heart-3:21-New Song: This is more of a rock song. I really like it when they computerize her voice though. The verses are well written and a great upbeat song. The Dead Executives produced it and co-wrote it with hilary.
11. Jericho (Remix 2005)-3:50-From her self-titled album: A really great remix of the original. I wasn't that interested in the original, but this remix is way better.
12. Fly-3:43-From her self-titled album: The 1st single from her second album. It has inspirational lyrics and a really good beat. It was produced by John Shanks. This was in her movie "Raise your Voice".
13. Supergirl-2:52-New Song: Wow! Hilary really does a great job in the chorus. It's really upbeat and more pop/rock. She starts of soft in the begining of the verses but that slowly builds to a loud chorus. This is the only new song not written by hilary and not produced by the Dead Executives.
14. Party Up (Remix 2005)-3:55-From "Metamorphosis": "Party Up" is one of my favorite songs off of her debut album and when i heard it remixed, i liked it even more. The remix has a cool begining and makes you want to get up and dance.
15. Girl Can Rock-3:04: This is on imports of her debut album, and on "A Cinderella Story" soundtrack. But it's nothing like the original. Like "Rock This World (Remix 2005)" this one focuses more on the guitars. It has a different begining that has just guitars and the part where she sings "Don't say maybe/or call me baby/I ain't crazy/at all" is stripped down to a beat and drums, and when she sings "I'm gonna live it up/I'm gonna give it up" the "Oh" that echoes after it is takin' out.
16. Our Lips Are Sealed-2:40-From A Cinderella Story Soundtrack: This is a great cover that also features her sister Haylie. It was the 1st single off the soundtrack and was a big hit.
17. Why Not(Remix 2005)-2:59-From "Metamorphosis": This was her first big hit and no wonder why. Great lyrics, an upbeat dance song, and hilary's great voice. The only difference with this version, is some of the background vocals and some beats are put in. You can hear a little bit of the the added beats whe she sings "Why not/Take a star from the sky/Why not/Spread your wings and fly."
I got my CD from Target and it has an extra bonus track "Do You Want Me? (From Sessions@AOL). You can hear more instruments in it and the end of song is a really great ending to the album.
Overall: 10000000/10
This CD is that good. The extra tracks, especially "Supergirl" are worth buying the Signature edition. If you don't buy it, you are really missing out.
Secret song... October 29, 2005 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a pretty good CD, but a little iffy also. The remixes are great, but the new songs are the cheesiest yet. However, if you are a parent looking for wholesome music for your 4- to 10-year-old, this is the album for you. It is completely free of swearing, unless you consider the phrase 'feeling like you suck' swearing. Anyway, this review was meant for all you Duff fans. I just wanted to warn you that if you are like the ultimate Hilary fan like I am, where you HAVE to have every single Duff song available like me, then I recommend that you buy the Collector's Signature Edition of the Most Wanted album AS WELL AS the standard less expensive CD that you can just pick up at Wal-Mart. The reason is this. They did not make two versions of Most Wanted for nothing. There is an explaination behind that. They made two because while the Signature Edition has more songs than the regular one, the regular one still has one song that the Collector's Edition does not have. You will not see it listed on the standard one, but it is there. I will explain. In the standard edition, you listen to the last song-a remix of Why not- all the way through, then wait about thirty or so seconds after the song is over. When that amount of time has elapsed, a remix of her song, 'I Am' will start playing. Once again, this song is not listed, so if you think that I'm lying, well, you're missing out! You have been warned!!!
Wow, lol August 17, 2005 7 out of 17 found this review helpful
Well, judging by my screename, you guessed it, it's me once again with my one star review. And guess what kiddies, today we are going to moan and b!tch about Hilary Duff. Most Wanted...BS.
Instead of all the other 1-star reviews, I'm going to go in depth of why I dislike Hilary so much, and why you such avoid her music.
1) She doesn't write or produce. If your an 8-year old kid and think writing and producing doesn't matter in your career, guess again. Writing and producing your songs is talent. If you don't write your music, you're not automatically untalented, but if you don't write your music, unless you produce, you are a pretty untalented singer. Hilary Duff does neither. Just because you can sing (which in this case, Hilary can't do that either) does not mean your a musician, or talented. Guess what, a lot of people can sing, more than you can think. Hilary Duff is untalented whether you like it or not.
2) Hilary does not sing. Wo...slow down here HilaryDuffSucks. If she's a singer, she has to know how to sing. How can she have a good record if she can't sing? Umm...now that it's 2005, we have technology. Wer now have something called a voice enhancer. So what!!! LOADS of singers use voice enhancements. Wait, I'm not finished! Hilary Duff does not use this properly. She uses it to make her voice. As much as you think it's not true, sadly enough, it is. Once again, these are true facts, like em or not.
3) Negative Attention. For all of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I'll slow down and tell you. Attention: to put yourself out in the music world 2) attention that is taken negatively, usually about how you and MTV are putting yourself out Ok, that's not the dictionary definition, but in the music world, that is the defenition of attention. Add the word negative. So far, Hilary has had nothing but negative attention ever since the Wake Up video. Now, Hilary actually isn't that bad when it comes to this (*cough* Britney Spears *cough*), but bad enough to explain and add a part of it to the rating. Two things. #1 - Use Joel Madden of fake-punk band Good Charlotte to turn goth -- Sidenote: Just because you shop at Hot Topic, you are NOT goth. Gothics have some sort of very depressing problem. Hilary -- no, just a show off. #2 - Use Joel again and claim she's "punk" and copys the Open Up And Say Ahh cover from Poison (btw, if you like 80's rock, check em out).
4) Actors becoming singers. Well, we've seen singers become actresses HilaryDuffSucks!!! That's not fair! Well, yeas it is. How? This is why: You can learn how to be an actor. You can NOT learn how to sing. Yes, you can get singing lessons, but if your vocals are poor, your singing is always going to be below-average. Think about it, Eddie Murphy, Bruce Willis, Raven Symone, Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson, along with more of a string of unsuccessful actors becoming singers. Luckily, we can now add Hilary Duff.
Ok, I wrote a long review, and why I dislike Hilary Duff, and why her music is awful. If you click no, you are very inconsiderete, unrespectful, and completely unagreeable, or you just don't know how to read "Was this HELPFUL???".
