      The truth is that Disney had designed the songs in a different vocal register than Zac Efron for the first film, that's why they used the other guy. But in the second and third movies the songs were created for her vocal range and she sang them all without a problem. Kind of lucky because the songs in 2 and 3 are incredible and we all know that Zac was the right choice.

    The songs in the first movie were written before Zac Efron was cast in the lead and his voice didn't really fit those songs, so Drew Seeley sang most of them, and Zac only sang a couple of lines. That's his real voice when he's on Gabriella's balcony, trying to talk her into forgiving him, and on the stage when she gets stage fright and he's trying to convince her to sing. Since they knew that he would be playing the lead in the other two movies, the songs were written for him and he does all of the singing in those two.

    TV critics dubbed this film “Grease: The Next Generation.”
    And not to mention how much this DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) musical created such an impact on many people, shows, or movies. They can’t deny High School Musical really became a phenomenon and affected the musical format in the mid-2000s.

      @heidos7 Před měsícem +11

      That's funny because the movie was originally supposed to be the third Grease movie and was supposed to star Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake as the children of Danny and Sandy from the original. The plot was virtually the same as HSM but with more similarities to Grease. Sharpay was supposed to be Rizzo's daughter (producers tried to get Christina Aguilera for the part but she declined). Justin Timberlake's band mates from *NSYNC were supposed to have supporting roles, and John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John to possibly have cameos.

    I would also recommend Bandslam with Vanessa Hudgens. It's not a full-on musical, but it does have several musical numbers since the plot revolves around a battle of the bands contest.

    It's been AGES since I've seen these movies and I had so much fun re-watching with you guys! Nice to see reactors having fun with these movies. And I agree, Zac Efron carried this movie. I hope you end up doing all three because the production quality difference between this one and the third is insane and I would love to see you guys react to that lol

    High School Musical was my whole personality when I was 16.
    It was so huge the 3rd movie got a theatrical release, and I actually went to watch it at least 3 times and cried at the end during all of them.

    So unexpected but my heart couldn’t be happier!! I grew up with this whole trilogy!! I had the birthday cake,apron,CD,dolls and I sung “the start of something new “ for my school talent show (both parts). It was what made me want to sing and act and dance!! So when people say it’s cringy when they were going off when they were young to it is funny always. It’s okay to have fun and like something !

    Drew Seeley actually sang for Zac in the first film(also co wrote Getcha head in the game) & then because Zac was doing hairspray he couldn't do the HSM tour so they brought in Drew to take over for him on the tour. Drew also was in another DCOM Stuck In The Suburbs & sang for Taran Killams character too.

    The phenomenal TV musical film! Long before Zac Efron shot it big in many movies, his musical days were notable! Still remember watching this on Disney Cruise Lines on Christmas 2006. It played frequently on the main deck’s large screen during my stay there with family.
    I know Efron had to lip-sync most of the songs here due to not being able to hit the high notes at the time. So the work of a singing double was required back then. He was just getting started.

    The director, Kevin Ortega, wanted to have Ryan be gay, but Disney, of course, said no, but they still kept him pretty flamboyant.. in the 2nd movie, theres like a fan conspiracy that Ryan and Chad have a relationship, which i personally like to believe, but its not ever proven

    • @tjohns25
      @tjohns25 Před 5 hodinami

      Didn't Lucas's appearance on HSMTHTS somehow canonize Ryan as gay? I'm not sure because I haven't watched the show yet, but that's what I've been led to understand.

    The High School Musical movies are some of the best DCOMs. These movies were my childhood and where our obsession with Zac Efron began. He's an incredible actor and you can see his potential in these movies even though they're cheesy sometimes. Please react to the other two movies, they get better and so do the songs!

    I expect you to react to 2 and 3 obviously, BUT also Sharpay's fabulous adventure, an often overlooked movie that shows sharpay as who she always was an ambitious girl, but not the villain. Cuz Troy gets everything he wants cuz he's more popular and Gabriella never cares about performing, it's just for fun while Sharpay and Ryan both want a theatre career after highschool

    • @blackbird45
      @blackbird45 Před měsícem +1

      bruh Sharpay is literally a villain, stop blaming Troy or Gabriella. Sharpay is spoiled, narcissistic, selfish even with her brother whom she doesn't respect, she sees the world as lackeys at her service and she is intrusive and has no limits in manipulating and interfering in people's lives to make trouble just for a role. Sharpay has always had everything on a silver platter, stop lying, she thinks she is the only one who can audition and get lead female roles and has since started school. She always had the main roles. She can't stand competition or even someone stealing the spotlight so for once the roles go to someone else it's trying to make her look like a victim lol.

    "WHAT THE HECK ARE THOSE TWO DOING IN A TREE" truly remarkable delivery. give him the emmy.
    this came out 10 days before my 15th birthday and i was THEE target audience for it lol but for some reason most of my classmates made me feel like it was for kids?? we WERE kids??? i burned the album and listened to it constantly lmao vividly remember my 15th birthday sleepover we just had it playing quietly on loop in the background while we gossiped and ate snacks. ah, high school.
    the third movie when they graduated came out my senior year so me and three friends went to our old movie theater for a late showing in our pjs and had the entire theater to ourselves and we cried. core memory!! will cherish it forever.
    i still, to this day, listen to this music. it's undeniably good and people who disagree hate fun!!
    ps-- also obsessed with the fact that all these reactions are over a callback and a PLAYOFF GAME. not even the actual musical or the championship!! insane. love it.
