And Hilary has the squeakiest singing voice! She is definitely more suited to acting. I couldn't believe it when she tried to sing! Just thought I would add in that everyone in India is obsessed with Hilary, while I was there her music was played constantly in McDonalds and Sony and she's on the packaging for all their gadgets.
I've always thought of it as the other way around.. she's a decent singer, but the squeaky voice completely prevents me from accepting her as a serious actress. No matter what she does - put a scorpion down her pants, come out of a swimming pool all wet - the second she starts talking, it's like "Whoa, was that a mouse?". But I think that really speaks of how powerful the Disney machine is - it's been about 5 years since Lizzie McGuire ended, but Hilary's still a big name (showing up at events, getting roles, endorsements, etc) despite not having done anything noteworthy since.
Well anyway, Demi is my favourite Disney star

Amazing voice, amazing actress, beautiful girl and so real and down to earth. She's a great role model for girls of all ages.
Mine too. Nothing against the other Disney starlets, but she is by far the most talented one out of them - to the point where it even seems like Disney is more of a career roadblock than a launchpad.
