"Reach Out" Censored

Hilary Duff’s new music video for her singleReach Outhas been censored!! The version of the music video that will appear on tv has those “thumb-sucking” scenes cut out, and replaced with less explicit scenes.

Do you think this was necessary? Do you like the censored version any less, or maybe more?

    For me it is almost the same. Both are dramatic videos. Liked both Hilary rocks forever.

  2. aidee23

    I love both videos
    i don’t have a problem with the uncensored video but i can see why they decided to edit some parts
    hilary still has younger girls looking up to her

  3. Elizabeth

    wow thats just sad that they had to censor a HILARY DUFF music video. im glad they did it tho, cuz that was just gross

  4. Hope

    i don’t really think it was necessary, but it doesn’t matter.

  5. chris

    censoring thumb sucking now thats just stupid. the thumb sucking version is better

  6. nat

    THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME LOVE BOTH

  7. HiT_MaN

    i think the Censored one is more greater coz it have a lot of scene inside =]

  8. MarijeCatsburg

    I’m glad that they did it-but hey, if they have to censor a vid of HIL must something be really wrong, dont you think?

  9. klb

    A lot better, really, those corrected details make it look a lot more proffessional, she looks with more energy when she dances and turns in the mirror

  10. holly

    Wow Hilary Duff got censored who knew?!
    Well, the original video we must say is kind of gross (the finger thing) the other one is a bitt better! even tho i don’t really like any of them

  11. cassie

    wow she only licks a finger for like 3 really short scenes and they censor it but people like britney christina aguilera and rihanna can practically go naked in their music videos or snoop dogg can have girls dancing with no clothing and thats fine and they wont censor theres. idc i luv both music videos but seriously thats stupid anyways that my rant lol. i luv the video anyways.

  12. edith

    I can see why they censored it, but I like both. I have no problem with the first one, I think hilary is grown woman, and she has the right to be sexy.

  13. Gigi

    i totally agree wid edith

  14. Rob

    I think i have to argree with edith too=) but i do luv those 2 videos, its really sexy-cute y’all

  15. rodolfo

    the new video i great

    love the two videos

    the new is so much better

    no le veo el cambio los dos siguen siendo sexy y sensual, los dos son geniales.

    arriva Hilarymania

    I agree, I do not think the video needs to be censored! It is not as bad as other videos with girls half naked. I love you Hil!!!

  17. Ariadnna

    It was a cool idea cuz we (fans) can see the original video. And everybody on tv will see it without those scenes.
    I was a great idea
    I like both of them but i prefer the second!
    Bye

    Hilary’s trademark, for me, is her dignity, she’s different from the singing-naked pathetic bunch out there, in many things! Her charisma, the way she talks, moves, sings …

    I really urge her, as a loyal fan, to just not be like them, and make us something fantastic like her last albums, please :)

    It’s not eye pleasing to see her becoming, just another face with Rihanna, Lindsay … etc. Hilary’s singing is different, hope that won’t change.

    they have people running around almost naked but yet they censor out her suckin some guys finger..i dont get it…but i love them both i think the uncensored one is better though!!!! shes so hot in it

  20. Yeah….

    There was no need to “censor” her sucking on a guy’s thumb. Dear Lord, how much complaining did the soccer Mom’s do to get that? There was nothing wrong with it.

    And I’m sorry, but this “she still has young girls looking up to her” crap needs to stop. The girl is 21 years old now, she can do whatever she wants. She no longer needs to cater to girls 6-7 or more years younger than her.

    i dont think she has the need to do that type off act to sell music in almost everybodys mind hillary is a sweet girl that doesnt show her body or weir acts to sell music. another thing a lot of little girls look up to her i am almost sure most of her pubblic is under 16 and that is not a good example for her even thow know she grew up people dont see it that way she should have left that video for brit…. or Riha,,,
