Hilary Duff on American Dreams - The Leader of the Pack

[iamtheonlydlogan]

To GENIUS99999992345678...You mean that group that wrote, co starred in, and sang the greatest song ever recorded, you know the one (I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND, I WANA HOLD YOUR HANANANANAD I WANNANNANNNA HOLD YOUR HAND. How much the world misses this fine rendition of STUPID NON SENSICAL FOREIGN MADE CRAP. The only taste you have is maybe in your mouth and I would argue that. You have no idea what the 60's were about. The beatles were the birth of commercialism, and that's all they were.

[GENIUS99999992345678]

american dreams sucked......i only turned it on to look at Vanessa.......just like that stupid show jessica alba was on.....i only watched it to look at her

[GENIUS99999992345678]

one of the worst songs ever recorded....the Beatles came along and put an end to this crap

[LesbianVampireLover]

This was the Perfect TV Series. My favorite series of all-time, and I'm an "old" guy. The casting was brilliant and Brittany Snow was just great in her role. I really identified with her, growing up in that era. Using the newer artists to reprise the old classics was a great move and it almost always worked. This was one of the few modern series which was not dumbed down and always maintained a high moral ground. I wish that they had maybe one more season. Too bad that NBC cancelled it.

[ChrisBurtonCanada]

American Dreams must have been a TV Show based to the Early 60s of a TV show. Awesome.

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

@ChrisBurtonCanada It was. It was the 60s and the dance show American Bandstand. Good show. A Good clean show you barely find these days.

[ChrisBurtonCanada]

@bubblinbrownsugar616 Thanks, Hilary Duff sounds more like the real Shangri-Las.

I wonder if this show is on Youtube? I would love to see it and im Canadian. :D

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

@ChrisBurtonCanada Someone did put up the first few episodes of it but I don't know if youtube took it down or not and of course it's plenty of clips with artists today playing as artists back then on the show. My favorite was Ashanti playing Dionne Warwick. :)

[ChrisBurtonCanada]

@bubblinbrownsugar616 wow, I would love too see this show do a comeback but put it during 1956 to 1968 and have the show Other than American Bandstand, make it Ed Sullivan Show. :D

[ladybuggirl1982]

@motney they're singing Leader of the Pack

[motney555]

love the classic song but which song are they singing?

[leiefilm]

yikes! think i'll stick to the twisted sister version

[leslielarranaga]

@shannon164 this was a show?

[riv4life618]

I adored this show, but this was just dumb. Hilary & her sis playing the Shangs is a travesty. They should've done what they did in the first episode with the Beach Boys and used The real Shangri Las and archival footage

[mjjcng8958]

@riv4life618 they where only using people who where relevent when this show came out to get young people to watch

[britineyo]

i think hailey is one of her back ups

[thaliagirl1000]

lov it

[StephanieGrabher]

OMG i used to watch this show religiously and i cant remember hillary duff ever being on it O.O how insane!

[Smiley6669]

Hilary is soo HOT!!!!

[dripdroptearsstop]

omg never knew she was on this show, and i usually know all the things she's been in.

[strawberrymango25]

awesome

[gaarassexyneko]

isnt britney snow in the audience?

[shannon164]

@gaarassexyneko she was the star of this show...

[simplydance1]

@gaarassexyneko yeah she was one of the stars of the show

[NotaPinyata]

LOL at the end it's almost like the singers are trying to tell that girl not to turn off the t.v.

[countryrockstar2008]

This is actually Hilary singing because its the same voice she made her song for the Lizzie McGuire Soundtrack ;)

[IceysMoment]

i grew up with this song so its difficult hearing a covering by hilary duff that sings well not this kind of music..but i couldnt do it any better so hilary you get credit for your voice:)

[dubpsychosis88]

they shat on the song

[gibbletz]

Damn that girls got some beautiful eyes.

[TheMhtcoc]

amazing great voice.....hilary 4ever...

[xceeejy]

eeee<3

[SsraepsS]

i swear her sister lives off her FAME!!!!!

[sugafrost3]

1:05 is that natalie wood?

[MrsJoeJonas2019]

at .48 if you freeze it you can tell its her sister

[casismallville]

actually its her.

[funnygirl12345678]

@MrsJoeJonas2019 it's not her sister

[MrsJoeJonas2019]

@funnygirl12345678 yes it is thats haley duff look it up at google pictures or wikipedia that is without a doubt her sister

[bsauced]

wow, Duff just doesn't compare to Mary Weiss's voice. I can't blame her though, I don't think anyone could do it like Mary did. not even the post production effects can help Duff on this on

[lourdesgirl101]

Sometimes Betty Weiss sang this song

That's why it says Betty

[TheMightyZack]

@lourdesgirl101 Well, actually, hilary duff is mary weiss, and hayley duff and that other girl are the identical twins of the group, Betty Wise never performed onstage until 1965 (this episode takes place in 1963-64)

[LesbianVampireLover]

Great clip from American Dreams, one of the greatest and certainly most underrated of all TV shows. Youtube has a lot of material from this show, check it out.

[TheMightyZack]

@LesbianVampireLover I just found out about this show, i can't believe i never heard of it (i was like 7 when it was on) but i bet if it wwas on now, it would be popular (like using taylor swift, miley cyrus, and other hollywood stars from today) ppl would b tuning in, i love this show even though ive only seen bits and peices of it

[Nuerth]

To be fair I thoroughly loved the Shangri Las,but I won't take anything

from Hillary she is an amazing talent

[Arkethot]

You can hear Mary Weiss sing, whereas here you can't hear nothing but effects, like Vanitytears said.

[totallyuniquexo]

that's Hilary Duff singing...

[smallsab2]

is that Tim Mcgraw ???

[smallsab2]

oooh no he isn't Tim Mcgraw he is the dad of Selena Gomez in PRincess Protection Program

[vanitytears]

you can hardly hear her voice, if it was her voice without any effects she would suck..shes good at acting and should just stick with that

[jethrodassam]

The same as JLo. lol

[leiefilm]

growing up with the twister sisster version this was baaaad

[akalholic]

i agree...HILARY killed it...i like the original better

[belltocher]

oh by the way mike being shangi-las fan/addict like yourself be sure to check out "leader of the pack ( live 1964) " i'd give my left nut to have been there. enjoy

[belltocher]

Ha mike shes just a young girl. imo she did this song way to cutesie ,and with no hart . i think she mist the mark compleatly. but that does not change the fact that she is not one of these singer/stripers and she dosent pull plublisity stunts to keep herself on the cleb showes as a slut. try to remember she is a real person and she may read your comment. just cause she is celb does not give you the right to be so rude and inpolight to her. remember she is just a kid .

[duff89117]

hailary duff love it good jpb..

[bangyourhead19]

twisted sister!!!!!!

[71elm]

very cool... Love it!!!!

[abundioj]

not bad

[CrizthiaNN01]

wow... hilary wow.. i love it..

[JoshFi]

They are all talented and do have strong voices, but they don't sound anything like The Shangri-Las.

[happymike44]

Hillary Duff should stick to selling refrigerators and lawn mowers.

She has a face like a hundred miles of mud fencing.

I have heard bullfrogs in the bayou croak out a better tune.

This girl just stinks and can't even keep on cue with words and the music.

Geez my dog sounds better howling when the fire truck goes by.

She is proof of why the music sales are slumping no one wants to see some no talent at a concert.

Sorry but the truth hurts.

[KremBananX]

The original is ofc the best one, but this is actually a quite good cover. Kudos to Hillary Duff.

[happymike44]

Hillary Duff should never give up her day job.

She really stinks I can think of so many others who could have done a better job.

This really is bad so bad I hope I never hear this version as long as I live.

[xxbabyj101]

Obviously NBC needed to a clever way to add some life to what was a completely dull show. What happened was a total inaccurate period show, with insulting, unresearched portrayals of the people who really created what Rock and Roll is today. In short Hilary Duff will never be Mary Weiss.

[zgirlbrooks101]

haylie duff's on the LEFT!

[Elisa423]

That's what I was wondering!

[zgirlbrooks101]

I was just listening to this song... it sounds like it

[punkprincez93]

There you go...a nice song all ruined!

[prjr1973]

The Shangri-Las never performed this song acting as SLUTS! Hillary is a cheap SLUT! Not the Shangri-Las! Thank God we can go back and enjoy the real Shangs on Youtube!....Not this CRAP! The Shangs were ladies! Not cheap Ho's like Hillary, Paris and Britney!

[kevinm4435]

auto-tune gahhhhh terrible

[tumsabai]

That slutty bitch is fucking up a great

Shangrila song!!!

[happymike44]

Hillary should be arrested for crimes against American Bandstand.

This little twit couldn't find her way out of a paper bag with exit and a arrow written on the side of it.

Please someone don't let this little bimbo sing again my ears are still bleeding from this song.

[fartolopostremo]

Shame on her! ¬¬

[riv4life618]

If I was Mary Weiss I'd be royally pissed off......just goes to show the "singers" (which I don't even consider Lizzie McGuire) today can't hold a candle to the greats from 40 & 50 years ago. Kids from my generation don't even know what REAL music sounds like....The standards have went from the talent of Giants to basically if you sound like crap (& thats after all the digital processing) but are willing to take your clothes off you're the next big star and future R&R Hall of Famer. So sad=(

[blkkitsune87]

...wow...way to ruin a classic...

[sparrowgirl84]

I think Hilary duff is a really good entertainer,but she too let hollywood get to her,when she lost that weight,now u hardly see ne thang of her,i miss the old hilary,but i think she sings good ne way,shes cute an i liked her shows an movies :)

[hone49]

i aggree she's a good singer but she DESTROYED a great song there

[cockatiel7]

hillary duff was never cute or entertaining. She's just another fantasy creation of the studios in "the peoples republic of disney. She'll be broke and desperate by age 30, like so many examples of "commie eye candy" before her. This reminds me, whatever happened to the fat raven?.....epic FAIL!

[koralo2]

Best TV show ever !

[vgroup05]

I like Hillary. She tried but failed in remaking this song. Good try though.

[marrrui12]

bitch, she ruins the song!

[BJORT]

This pisses me off

[rasputin63]

This musical segment from A.D. works. Of course, the Shangs were indeed tough 'n' campy like these three girls. Hilary Duff does indeed convey some of that "Lolita" quality of Mary Weiss.

[amygirl1983]

Brittany Snow doesn't even seem to like her....

[JesusFlyJussy]

DONT FUCK WITH THE SHANGRI LAS!!!

[mrf96]

I hate Hilary Duff

[hilarysfan13]

a bit freaky but hil looks great everywhere!

[49gaily7]

I do not like this remake. The voices are literally annoying.

[BytteBob]

I never thought about it before, but Hilary Duff actually sounds a bit like Mary Weiss

[imani555]

@BytteBob its called lip synin butt i love dat song so much

[ViaJonas]

i luv the original more

she sings this good though

[ingeneralcatastrophe]

I liked the original. This sounded fine, though.

[kristimarie1988]

Is the blond Brittany Snow.....?

[kthxrae]

yup.

[maartjuuh]

So cool!

[Lloyd1958]

She looked so hot right then. I just want to thank her for sharing such beauty with me.

[chrisdunst13]

why, just why

[NachoProductions8899]

haha!

[mydnytrider]

wat movie is this segment frm??

[leahhC16]

its not a movie, it was a tv show called

"american dreams"

[mrsdilkington]

This made me cry.

[dasanycitrus]

wpw this version is great like so fresh (:

[ralphedds1]

I think she did ok on it, she's not Mary & the Shangri-las but it wasn't bad, I've always had a thing for Hilary, can you blame me?

[mramywinehouse]

Its not Hilary thats annoying, its the obnixious (sp?) backup singers

[TARYN74960]

ok she so did not ruin this song ,you people need to stop being mean oh my freaking god , have a heart...

[hipnhappenin]

God, she ruined it! Like every other song she covers and destroys.

[daniel15jeims]

es una bellesa la mas bella que e visto

[leiefilm]

oh my gooood my ears.

[DysisNyx]

Damn you, Hillary Duff! Why? WHHHHHYYYY? Why did you kill that great song? Le sigh...

[andrewd104]

So sorry i accidently "spammed you" ...i obviously did not mean to...

[blkkitsune87]

Okay, she massacred that great song...so bad, so bad...

[JPandCo]

Oh bitch! you wished... and with that silly hat.. sacrilege!

[ItsJenShortie]

It's not bad but I wouldn't really care for this show. They don't really portray the 50s or the 60s whatever they're trying to do. It doesn't remind me of that time, I see 21st century written all over it. Disappointing :( Hilary Duff wasn't that bad though...

[laminage]

This wasn't an "actual" recreation. Remember the Twins Marianne & Margie always had Short Hair and these girls hair was long.

[cuckoonest11]

Oh my God. Sacrilege.

[daniel15jeims]

esta mas guapa hil que todas las famosas que e visto

[daniel15jeims]

esta hil muy guapa pero que peli es esa

[ejgnandt]

This girl is actually considered a singer?

[meretteschipettes]

no she's considered a reader duh she's a singer

[talmeida20]

duff and lohan at the same time...guys can you imagine that?

[meretteschipettes]

lohan a dumbass

[KingdomKupcake]

I remember this episode :)!

[PremissonToFly]

wow,..........................­..................

[TragicSorrows]

Never heard of this show in my life 0.o bu itl ooks HORRIBLE x.x

[guitarheadforlife]

It's a sin to desecrate such a great song like this by giving it to a crack-whore like Hillary.

[meretteschipettes]

this was before she was a ''crack-whore'' like hillary

[AlxElizabeth]

Sorry. That was supposed to be in response to someone asking if Haylie Duff was out there.

[BackStreetAngel14]

Is thos a movie about a tv show or what???

[mofodante89]

this performance is dreadful. go watch the original >>>

[NightRaptor]

That was.....hot.

[PunkyPowerGirl]

luv it, i like the orignial better but its good, her voice sounds somewat right

[wipsylala]

iv never heard of this show

[RasputinaMan]

jesus i wonder why.... it was a horrible show.

[boomboxshoebox]

I love Hilary Duff. I'm probably one of her biggest fans but I must admit, this was the worst that I have ever seen her =[

[Soapking1965]

Hillary Duff and those two chicks did a poor, lightweight version of Mary, Margie and Mary Ann. Margie and Mary Ann must have been spinning in their graves.

[Sw33tAddiction]

lol... i find that funny.

[lizzieMG4]

found it funny too! :)

[skatergirlpooka]

i love this song !!!!!!!!!!!

[ExAxLxPx12]

i loved this show, it should not have been canceled

[justINCRedible3300]

I really like this,

She sounds wicked at certain parts

Shes got a really cool voice

[austinrules24]

I don't know. I don't mind Hilary or anything, but this version really didn't do it for me. I don't like how she does it. The Shangri-Las version was much much better. Love this show, though.

[angelbebe054]

I WAS THERE!!!

my dad worked on that show!!!

[KingdomKupcake]

Wow sounds shizel! Do u mean 'American Dreams' series or the actual 'American Bandstand'? Either way sounds cool anyway!

[angelbebe054]

American Dreams

[KingdomKupcake]

sorry Hillary u ain't leading this song very well your 'folks should be putting u down' that was mud!

[LiSaFrAnKGoNeGoTh]

Hilary is cool and all..but that is a cheap try at the song. I honestly didnt like it. Not dissing Hilary or anything but...she should try something else, thats all.

[KingdomKupcake]

I agree!

[LiSaFrAnKGoNeGoTh]

Heh, thanks. =)

[KingdomKupcake]

ur welcum! Man I love this show! So dig the 60's fashion, how 'bout u?

peace!

[LiSaFrAnKGoNeGoTh]

Lol, yeah, fashion back then was pretty nifty. I only wish we had those bell bottoms today..oh wait, we still do! XD and the hair was awesome. And everything was just.."go with the flow." Thats what I like best about it. and some of the songs are pretty good. So...60's just cant be beat with today's world. <3

[southernstar0946]

This is horrible...

[rockabillypie]

awful version of a great song!

[EdyElleJ]

love u hil!..and this song is one of my faves!!

[MarvelettesDude]

THAT was the single worst thing i've ever heard she sang it too sassy.

[paddycake5201]

she did a really good cover

[RiseAgainstRomance]

That was awful.

[SkyAboveRiver]

hilary sang the song ok but i serously hate her.she made the singer look like a whore

[tblanl]

gahhh, the humming is so sharp and annoying in the beginning!

[DebbieJohns]

Great video! Hilary is awsome!

[snoochy2]

If in fact that song on American Bandstand,someone had to play one of the Shangrlas.She didn't ruin it.

[krizzargh]

isn't haylie duff there too ?

[AlxElizabeth]

I thought so, too, but I'm not sure.

[YolandaJenkins]

i think Hillary Duff was perfect for this role

[Topner]

this is so very sad, no one can sing this like shangri las,

Mary Weiss,Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss,

Marguerite "Marge" Ganser, Mary Ann Ganser

forever

[xxmaryluvsyaxx]

wow amazing!! truly was Hilary sang it alot beter and more soul than the shangri-las!!

GO HILARY

[NocturnalWednesday]

Wow way to ruin a classic, Shangri Las forever<3

[Ilovemeankitty]

If that was her getting ran over thank god! sHE RUINED A HIT!

[bornin51]

wow

she just ruined the

whole song

Shangri Las

rock!!!

=][=

[patdfob1]

damn bitch only Shangri-las can sing this song! she ruin a classic

[PLAYWITHFIREx]

i love this video:)

[Lesbosurfer]

She Always Sounds Awesome

[Gman9214]

She sounds wicked when she sings candy store!

[madskyltd]

why post HALF a video clip?  that makes freaking sense!
