Summary: It's Bad
Comment: High School Musical is being talked about by teenager's everywhere, so I was determined to see what
it was like. I asked someone I knew (who is obsessed with it) If I could borrow their copy of the
soundtrack - And now I wish I hadn't. For staters the actual music is just over-used up beat dance
tracks. With some weak mordern R and B thrown in. The things kicks of with a song entitled "Start of
Something New". The song is merely just a badly written, horribly sang pop song. The vocals are very
poor, there are signs of lack of emotion (in all the tracks). The second one, which is more of an R
and B tune, is well irritating. The whole trainers squeeking in the back ground is simply annoying
beyond beliefe. The "Gota getcha getcha getcha head in the game" just proves how weak and simplistic
these lyrics really are. There is nothing fantastic about any of the songs - the ones sang by the
blond girl are deffinatly the worst - she can sing...she's just horrible at it. I can't understand
why something with such weak music, singing and lyrics has become to popular. I'm a pretty open
minded person when it comes to music I listen to Metal, Rock, Rap, Punk, Pop, Dance, Classical,
Reagge, World music, Folk, Eletronic ect but I can honestly say this should be left as a mat for
your cup of tea.

Summary: A great start to this wonderful sequel!
Comment: Original premiered in American in January 2006, the first version of High School Musical made its
way to UK TV screens in mid to late 2006, and boy was it hyped! People were going crazy about it,
and it would soon prove to be the start of a so far brilliant sequel.

1/ Start Of
Something New/ 3:16
The opening song, and one of the best known. Performed by the wonderful
Gabriella and Troy, Start of Something New is an awesome ballad basically about love or friendship.
But you've heard it anyway.

2/ Get'cha Head In The Game/ 2:27
Performed by Troy,
despite its hype and popularity, this is actually one of my least favourites, but it's incredibly
catchy and still loveable.

3/ What I've Been Looking For/ 2:03 & 4/ What I've Been
Looking For (Reprise)/ 1:19
The former, performed by Ryan and Sharpay; my second favourite on
the set. A wonderful, catchy sing-a-long tune and you'll find yourself tipping your toes to. The
latter is the same track performed in ballad form by Troy & Gabrielle, though the full song is not
used. My least favourite out of the two.

5/ Stick To The Status Quo/ 4:28
Yet
again one of the more popular songs. This was not released as a single, yet still managed to enter
the UK Top 75 on downloads alone due to its insane popularity. It's the only album track on the set
to have achieved this.

6/ When There Was Me & You/ 3:00
This seems to be one of
the most hated songs on the soundtrack with critics and even fans alike, yet I don't understand it
because Gabriella's vocals are absolutely astounding.

7/ Bop To The Top/ 1:47 />Ryan and Sharpay's second song on the album, and my favourite. Awesome song.

8/
Breaking Free/ 3:27
The first single from the set and the one that got everyone going crazy
about the soundtrack. This started off as my favourite song on the set, but as I got to learn other
songs I quickly grew tired of it. Performed by Gabriella and Troy, it's still an appaulsable track.

9/ We're All In This Together/ 3:51
The final track used in the actual film and
the 'party' song of the album. Great closure to the film.

10/ I Can't Take My Eyes Off
You/ 2:51
Despite not being used in the film, this is still a favourite of mine.
/>11/ Get'cha Head In The Game (Performed by B5)/ 2:45
The instrumentation is a little
different from the original performed by Troy, noticably the introduction. I find the song on the
whole a little pointless, I don't think it should be included.

12/ Start Of Something
New (Karaoke)/ 3:20 & 13/ Breaking Free (Karaoke)/3:26
Title says it all.
/>Overall, although as not as good as the follow-up, High School Musical 2, this is still one hell
of a soundtrack and I advise you buy the film along with this. Originally sparking controversy when
critics found out Zac Efron (Troy) was not actually singing (the high notes on his parts are
performed by Canadian singer-songwriter and actor Drew Seeley), Zac would go on to use his own -
improved and excellent - vocals in the second soundtrack.

Summary: FOR KIDS not for adults
Comment: Get over being miserable! There's a lot of feel good tunes on this album! Toe tapping and enjoyable
tracks. The film is quite witty and makes me quite pleased that there is finally something
available for kids that doesn't invovle any competitiveness about being better than anyone, looking
better than anyone - the songs are encouraging and have a background theme of working together. No
swearing - no innuendo's nothing that could be considered a bit dubious. I did hesitate buying
this for my 7 year old because of it being High School - but it's so good and teaches a very good
lesson about teamwork! I'm afraid that reviewers like Mrs Doorly need to get a life! This is a
fantastic album - SUNG BY KIDS FOR KIDS! It's not a talent quest nor is it aimed at impressing the
grumps. It's the new 'Grease' cleaned up and done very well so! It's a feel good soundtrack and
all adults I know say their kids (7-12 yrs) LOVE this album! Admittedly, I prefer other music, but -
this wasn't targeted at me - it was targeted at the age range that actually admit to loving it! />

Summary: why buy this?
Comment: When i think of over hyped the only thing other than this that springs to mind is the PS3 and guess
what traits they both share? They are both terrible . for me listening to even 10 seconds of this
song was like hearing Elton John throw up on a one of his so called "classics" seriously why buy the
soundtrack unless you enjoy hearing talentless hacks sing about the most inane things for what an
hour hears a simple idea forget about buying crap and go for something good which this cd is
completely lacking in
