High School Musical Disney Original Movie — Page 3

The Leads Singing sounded fake because it was. Check The Credits or IMDB. The kid who played Troy has a voice double.

That has to be the worst lipsyncing ever because I noticed it when he first opened his mouth. I ran to my computer to check IMDB.

my sister was watching this when i walked in the room it looked scary.

I might regret admitting this but I'm watching the show for the third time as I type and it's beginning to grow on me. Okay, well, parts of the show I enjoy watching. Like I said before, the lip-syncing is terrible, they try a bit too hard, but... I just think Status Quo was a very well done scene. It was staged beautifully and it's just a very catchy song. And the Sharpay and brother moments (I can never remember his name to save my life. He's always "the guy with the hat" to me) are hilarious because they look so incredibly ridiculous.

I adored it.
It was cheesy, it was corny, and completely far-fetched, but so cute how could you not love it?

I liked how they built the sets pre-auditions. can you imagine? ah, to not even have to worry about the sets in the last weeks of the show..
Also, as people have said, the pairs audition thing was weird, but it worked for the intent of the movie.
I think I would have given the parts to Sharpay and Ryan. They were total bitches, but really friggin good.

All of the kids were really talented; it kind of upset me Zac Efron had a voice double, though. It's not like Disney's hurting with young kids/early 20 year olds that can sing..

I think I'll go and buy the soundtrack sometime soon. And it will probably come out on DVD, because Disney does that with some of its better films (ie, Color of Friendship, which was actually Emmy-nominated. remember the days of AMAZING DCOMs!?), so that will be fun.

[Sorry for the random thought trains..]

Favourite song was definiteily "Stick to the Status Quo;" as most people have said, it is EXTREMELY broadway-esque, great beat, catchy, and the choreography and the idea behind the song was awesome.


If anyone's missed it, it will be on again Wednesday at 8, and Feb 2nd at 8.

My students came in all excited about it today! I didn't see it as I don't have Disney, but a couple of them promised to tape it for me - so I'll see it eventually. It was cool having kids who aren't normally excited about theater so excited about this movie - whatever the quality. Yes, there were attempts and singing and dancing in my study hall today...

And if my principal is reading this, that wasn't MY room....

I watched it. Yes, it was cheesy, but it was semi-good.

And about Troy's voice double, someone on the IMDB boards said this.. Parts of the songs he sings. Take the song Breaking Free. The first line of Troy's is sung by the actual guy, and the rest is by the voice double. and I listened to it again after I read it, and you can clearly tell it's two different people.

But yeah. Sharpay and her brother had some funny scenes. And Stick to the Staus Quo was definately my favorite. :)

I loved it ! it was so lame it was fabulous. Its sad when ur 17 and you and your friends gather on a friday to watch High School Musical on Disney lol...I loved the brother and sister Duo they were the best.

My four sisters and I gathered around the TV to watch this. The two youngest hated it, but my other two sisters and I loved it. It was so awful it was good, and my dream is to now be called Sharpay. Seriously.

Stick to the Status Quo was good, but I really liked What I've Been Looking For (the Sharpay and Ryan version, naturally). Their versions were way better.

Gotta love those Disney Original Movies.

I would honestly have to say that in general though, hysterically awful movies sometimes turn out to be some of the best, and I would say that those movies are sometimes funnier than movies meant to be comedies.

P.S. I thought Sharpay and her brother were hysterical!
"We need to save our show from people who dont know the difference between a Tony, and Tony Hawk"- Wow; just Wow

justagirl2, my dream's to be called sharpay too!

and i was walking around the halls before homeroom today and my friends were talking about it, and the 3 of them(two are 14 and i think the other one's either 14 or 15, i can't remember right now)were saying how they watched all three days,which i did too, except night 3 i watched 1/2 cause i wanted to watch desperate housewives.so in my high school it was definately a sucess(ok well maybe it's a bit of an overstatement considering that all of us are theater geeks, but it appealed to all of us)

---

basically my entire history class watched it-we're sophomores in high school. we were like flipping out cuz we all loved it sooo much! lol. we kept quoting, "it's a crowd favorite. everyone loves a good jazz square"
ha. you gotta love it
