TOO WEIRD Duff's self-titled second album fails to showcase any musical personality

With ''edgy'' songs like ''Do You Want Me?'' ''Weird,'' and ''Hide Away,'' Disney's teen princess Hilary Duff announces on her self-titled album she's a complicated rock & roll adolescent on the order of Avril and Ashlee. Uh-huh. And Betty from the Archie comics is Patti Smith. The middle-school-poetry lyrics may strike a chord, but Duff's voice, a tiny thing that continues to lack a shred of musical personality, is buried under layers of generic cheese arrangements. Real bad stuff.
