I've always thought she was this talented girl with a beautiful voice, but it always took a backseat to all the media frenzy, which is too bad. Also, the songs she sung were too bubblegum pop to really showcase her talent. Therefore, I've never been a fan of hers.
But I like how she makes the casual look hot because it's one I'm into. BTW, the house she and Nick lived in was like 5 minutes away, so I'd constantly see her at the shopping center near my house, where I do everything (pick up food, get my brows waxed, etc.). If it weren't for the cameras, she'd totally blend in.
