 High School Musical CD - Don't Waste Your Money October 11, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It seems like every kid begs for the HSM CD some point in their life. I wouldn't waste your hard earned money on it. It is nothing but a group of Disney stars singing about what America has stereotyped highschool to be like. Zac Efron doesn't even sing all of the songs, a huge disappointment to any music lover. So, for those parents who's children are begging them, wait a few monthes, get you kid some real music and it will all blow over.
 My daughter and I JAM to this...completely off key but who cares June 24, 2008
This is so much fun! My daughter and I have girl time singing off key to this. As a special treat a few times a year, I plan to take my karaoke machine and several of the kid favorites to my classroom for my students to enjoy. They'll know every word of this new classic!
High School Musical CD February 13, 2008
I love this CD. I enjoy listening to the music that is on here. I have freaked some kids out because I bought this & listen to it. But they have catchy tunes on this CD. I am just a big kid at heart still & probably always will be. If you get this you won't be sorry for any age. I have watched both of the movies but I liked the 1st one better.

High School Musical. Even before the movie came out, I had a feeling I was not going to like this. Let me say first that I am an avid fan of musicals. I absolutely love Wicked, Rent, Hairspray, Mama Mia, Les Miserables. I practically live on Broadway music. Musicals is meant to mean something, to teach something, to tell a story, or at least make you laugh. High School Musical possess none of these attributes. This is a story that reflects American youth today; shallow, one-dimensional, material. High School Musical is the story of a bunch of popular, beautiful, and perfect rich kids and their selfish problems that we are suppossed to care about and sing to. Sorry, but I don't think so. This movie is promoting the fact that in order to be happy and achieve anything in the world, you must be gorgeous and talented. That is not a message that should be sent to young children. And the what-you-can-barely-call music is utterly terrible. There is nothing whatsoever good about any of it. The lyrics are akward and don't flow at all, the melodies are mediocre at the most and are easily forgotten, and the singers themselves sound so fake you can hardly stand to listen to the music. High School Musical deserves none of the hype it is receiving. It is so sad that the true musicals in our lifetime are being ignored and forgotten because of this genuinely horrible musical.
