I've never seen both movies - High School Musical, High School Musical 2, but, the soundtracks to both movies
reached #1 on Billboard's 200 Albums chart. The movie starred zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas
Grabeel, Alyson Reed, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman. The movie was produced by the Disney channel. High School
Musical follows student Troy Bolton (Efron), the captain of his school basketball team, and Gabriella Montez (Hudgens),
an academically gifted transfer student, who together audition for the lead roles in the school musical, causing division
among the school's cliques. High School Musical was released in 2006. Three singles were released from this movie:
"Breaking Free" (Zac Efron, Drew Seeley, Lucas Grabeel), "Get'cha Head In The Game" (Drew Seeley), and
"We're All In This Together" (Drew Seeley, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu, Monique
Coleman).
"Start Of Something New" (Zac Efron, Drew Seeley, Vanessa Hudgens) is a very good track to lead off the
soundtrack, Pop at it's finest. "Get'cha Head In The Game" (Drew Seeley) is more on the hip-hop, being one of
singles from the soundtrack. Next. "What I've Been Looking For" (Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel) is on the upbeat
Pop side, however, the opening track "Start Of Something New" is better. The reprise of "What I've Been Looking
For" (Drew Seeley, Lucas Grabeel) is slower, and better than the original. "Stick To The Status Quo" (Ashley
Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Chris Warren Jr., Kaycee Stroh, Dutch Whitlock) is very upbeat, a good Pop track, and fitting the
Pop-style of the newest 2000 century. Vanessa Hudgens' "When There Was Me And You" is a good Pop ballad-like track.
"Bop To The Top" (Ashley Tisdale Lucas Grabeel has a Latino style; easily fitting another popular Latino
artist, Jennifer Lopez. Definitely a ballad with a great piano introduction, Zac Efron and Drew Seeley's "Breaking
Free" is an obvious hit single, as it kicks into another Pop-styled track. Another single, "We're All In This
Together" (Drew Seeley, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman) is another upbeat
track, and fitting the latest in Pop music, but, in my opinion, there are better upbeat Pop-styled tracks better than this
one. "I Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" (Drew Seeley, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel) has all the
musical styles of the latest Pop female stars, such as Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, and likewise (Beyonce) on B5's
version of "Get'cha Head In The Game," fitting the styles of Hip-Hop and Rap. The last two tracks are karoke
instrumenals - "Start Of Something New," and "Breaking Free."
High School Musical appeals more to the high school kids in 2006, where the Pop styled tracks from the
soundtracks fit with the other Pop tracks popular at that time. For us "old folks," the "Pop sound" is quite good.
Yet there are those Pop songs that are quite better than the others. My choice for the best "Pop sound", would be
"Start Of Something New" (Zac Efron, Drew Seeley, Vanessa Hudgens).
Zac Efron would pursue greater ventures in his future movies and television career. Vanessa Hudgens
would release two future albums in 2006 and 2008, and persue a film career. Drew Seeley would record many songs
for the Walt Disney Company, and recorded three albums in 2006, 2011, and 2018. He also persued his future career in
films, television, the web, and stage. As with her fellow co-stars, Ashley Tisdale has pursued in her career of
films and music (releasing three albums, in 2007, 2009, and 2019). Lucas Grabeel also persued his career in films
and television.
The Pop music of the beginning 21st Century is heard on High School Musical. It fits the current musical
sounds at that time. More for the high school kids of 2006. The second movie High School Musical was released the
following year, 2007. Like the first soundtrack, HSM2 reached #1 on Billboard's 200 albums chart. High School
Musical 3: Senior Year was released in 2008, however, it's soundtrack reached #2. A television series High School
Musical: The Musical: The Series appeared on Disney+ in 2019 to 2023.
The High School Musical 2 soundtrack will be reviewed at a later date.
