    Zac’s singing voice was under developed at the time so they blended their vocals. Drew’s voice is heard heavily in the first movie but in certain parts u can hear Zac’s voice. But Drew did do the concert so in the end it worked out

    I was friends with Andrew back in the early 2000’s. I was happy that he made it to Hollywood and got his big break because he really wanted it badly back then. I know it wasn’t the way I’m sure he thought it would be but we were all still really proud of him! He always had an incredible voice and I’m glad he eventually became respected for it by the world!

    They used drew's seeleys voice because kenny ortega didnt believe zac could sing the songs but zac was good for the character so they got one actor to be the character and another to sing for the character not every one person will be capable of doing both so you get two to do two different things

    Even when I was younger, the whole story of it being Drew and Zac’s voices “blended together” seemed kind of off to me. It was always clearly Drew singing 98% of Zac’s lines, with Zac throwing in words here and there in the first movie lol. I think the most Zac actually sings in the first movie is the intro to Breaking Free and then his voice changes to a whole other person after that 😅

      Yea Drew and Selena were 10 years apart, she was 16 and him 26 in that Cinderella film, which carried alot of controversy. Maybe there wouldnt be a HSM2 or 3 as Vanessa wasn't legal when the first one came out if she costarred with a 24yo as her love interest

    I feel like everyone already knew this especially when they did the Live movie, however I don’t think he wasn’t Troy Bolton because he was older irl because he was cast as Selena Gomez’ love interest and she was only like 15, it never looked weird though so that can’t be it.

    This is not new! I found out around the second movie that Zak did not sing in the first film and that it was Drew. Drew should have gotten more credit. He was regulated to the side and used for his voice. Disney has a record of using actors and then throwing them to the wolves. They need to stop that.
