More like "somebody believes the apples don't fall far apart from the
tree." Otherwise, explain how Miley Cyrus, Hayley Duff, Jamie Lynn
Spears, Emma Roberts, and Emily Hart got jobs in the first place.
Besides, if you're trying to manufacture an animated character (and
has CN started any live-action regular shows yet?) to a young
audience, usually you don't say who does the voice, although the CN
target isn't as young as the "we don't want the kids thinking the
characters aren't real" Nickelodeon audience.
(Speaking of HM, I wonder if they have a "backup plan" in place for
the tour where they get someone to dress up like the character and
lip-sync the songs. How is some 10-year-old girl supposed to know the
difference, especially (a) if they're not in the front rows and (b)
when they're surrounded by other 10-year-old girls either screaming or
singing along?)
