Does anyone ever feel like Hilary Duff had to sing because of Disney?

It felt like when she was younger and performed in concerts, she looked very uncomfortable onstage. I also felt like a lot of her performances were of her lip-synching. It's one thing if you're a dancer like Britney and you don't want to sound out of breath, but she didn't dance. It also seemed like the backup singers were heard more than her because they felt like she didn't have a strong enough voice. Even in movies, her sister had to dub her voice because it was stronger.

I came across this a while ago:

“Do you know why Hilary Duff has a singing career? Because she was invited to a Radio Disney concert and asked herself, “Why am I backstage when I should be onstage?” So she told her mom – who was in charge of her career and is by all accounts an extremely pushy woman – that she thought it’d pretty fun to try what all the professional singers who had trained their whole lives for that opportunity were doing, and they found her a manager right there backstage, even though Hilary was “never that into music.” That’s it. And then we got “I Can’t Wait” and a Christmas album and this movie.”
