American teen idol, singer, songwriter, fashion designer and TV star, Hilary Duff breezed in and out of Australia recently, not only to stage three exciting concerts in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, but to also promote her latest achievement, the release of her fragrance, With Love.

Her young, mostly female audience crowded into the Brisbane Entertainment Centre to witness Hilary’s high-energy performance, backed by an ensemble of finely-tuned and fit dancers. Along with her outstanding band the action was non-stop; Hilary looked petite and pretty on stage in various outfits to fit the music - from a sexy metallic playsuit to a fringed miniskirt and a lot of bare skin, not to mention the high heels.

A range of energetic songs filled the show including Beat Of My Heart, Getaway, Pat Benatar’s Love Is A Battlefield and a cover of the Go Go’s Our Lips Are Sealed. Every song was welcomed by adoring screams from the audience prompting Hilary to thank the crowd for their keenness. She shouted to the mass of teens, “I love it that you’re standing all the time. Oh my gosh, thank you for buying tickets and traveling to show!”

Hilary has sold more than one million copies of her three albums and at the tender age of 20, the fame that she has earned so far hasn’t affected her ‘girl next door with attitude’ tag. Let’s hope that it never does.
