Y'all need to give Kenny Ortega his flowers for this choreography. It never misses. My favorite song from this movie is "I Don't Dance" because it gave what it needed to in terms of Chad and Ryan.
We voted for a disney star cameo, which is how Miley was there at the end. All for one (Closing song) is a BOP!! I knew the whole dance 🙌🏾 Btw Disney did a behind the scenes that Monique (Taylor) learned to swim for the ending song then they cut it out of the movie 😩 I'm still upset about that lol. As a black girl that can't swim I was excited for sis 😅
I remember voting for The Jonas Brothers every single day. So did my brother and sister. I was so disappointed at time that they didn't get to be in the movie. Although I still liked Miley at the time.
Fun Fact: the place they filmed all this was in my hometown in Southern Utah! I used to work at the spa/golf course where they filmed it! anytime anyone would come swim at the pool they’d freak out about swimming in the same pool as Zac Efron 😆 In one of the buildings there they have a plaque and some pictures of the cast and crew with autographs too. it’s pretty cool, absolutely love this movie! thanks for always putting out awesome content! 🤍
Yeah all true movies are filmed in Utah. The high school scenes are filmed in my hometown’s public school near Salt Lake City. Sharpay’s famous hot pink locker is still there, and everyone gets to see it when they tour the school.
You go a bit hard on Taylor, and in the first and third movies she does deserve it. But in this one Taylor actually really does do Gabriella a solid. Reminding Gabriella that a man shouldn't forget important stuff, telling her that Troy was getting up close and personal with a girl who Troy KNEW was interested in him, that was really important backup for Gabriella that she wasn't imagining things.
The song "I don't dance" has so much hidden meaning. It's confirmed by Kenny Ortega that Ryan is gay, although he was never "out" it was always implied. It's speculated by fans that Chad might be gay also and Ryan is trying to show Chad it's ok, but Chad won't admit it to himself cause of his friends. It's why every time Chad says "There's just one little thing/ That stops me every time, yeah" the camera pans to his friends. It's really subtle hints and it makes it all the better. Since at this age of Disney they didn't really show gay support clearly. It was always hidden. After the song, Kenny had mentioned to them about switching hats, which led to them switching outfits altogether. The "true" reason is meant to show the jock and the theater kid could get along and find common ground. Though I think Kenny knew what he was doing. Kenny knew Disney wasn't ready to cross that line, he knew having Ryan be openly gay could be a major thing in a film with much success. So adding these subtle hints was great.
i like the songs much better in this one and i think it’s the better movie. TO BE FAIR THO the marketing for this film was INSANE. i had cds, dolls, dance mats, and video games for hsm 2 when i was a kid and i think i watched it more than the first one, especially at slumber parties. also since it takes place in the summer, that soundtrack was always playing at elementary school pool parties. it was such a better and simpler time 😮💨
WHAT TIME IS IT? BILLY TIME! This is mostly people’s favorite HSM out of the trilogy. Personally, it’s the first one for me because it’s a classic. But still, very nostalgic for me as a little children lol that feel good summer DCOM. Can’t wait to watch!
The third one is my favorite as well. I like the 2nd because it begins Ryan's character arc where it shows his skill and breaks him away from his sister. In the 3rd movie, it shows how talented he is with his choreography.
The first movie is my favorite as well because it’s a classic and it gives me so much nostalgia. The third one is my second favorite, however I think the third one low key has the best songs out of the three.
I can’t believe you didn’t vibe with so many of the songs 😭😭 i think it is because you have that connection with the first one but i loved this one and the third one is great. they were juniors in the first movie, this is summer, and then in the third they’re gonna be seniors!! the plot in this one isnt the best 100% but i just love the energy!! However, the third one has my fav plot 100% so pls watch it!!
My favorite part of this movie is Zac Efron was also shooting Hairspray so he had to dye his eyebrows black and they just look so overly intense with his normal hair (and yes he does sing in this one and the 3rd one)
As a 12 year old, I felt like Troy was a jerk for his behavior... as a 27 year old, I feel like his friends suck for standing in his way. All he had to do was sing a song with Sharpay and entertain her foolishness for a scholarship. 🙄 The only person that had a reason to be angry is Gabriella because he forgets about their dates... But that's still not a big deal. 🤷🏾♀️
Gabriella wasn't even that mad at Troy, more disappointed and fed up and I feel like her breaking up with him was pretty warranted. But she was more mad at Sharpay for being manipulative.
I feel like the vibe of this movie makes a lot more sense when you know that Kenny Ortega is a gay theatre kid lmao. This is definitely the most dramatic and campiest out of the three movies and personally, I live for it. This is my favourite movie out of the three and my favourite song is Troy's solo 'Bet On It' but his solo in HSM3 'Scream' is REALLY good too and the budget increase really ups the visual experience in HSM3. I think you'll definitely like HSM3 more, it's way more grounded and has more of a serious blockbuster musical energy (it was actually released in movie theaters unlike HSM1 and HSM2) than this movie which has more of a fun summer theatre production energy to it.
"They look old as hell playing high schoolers right now" Haha at least Vanessa Hudgens was actually still a teenager she was 17 turned 18 while filming this (i think zac efron was 19 and corbin bleu/chad was also 18ish) so maybe they just look old lol. Definitely a few of the other cast members were early to mid 20's though
"Bet On It" was the best song from the movie, everyone was singing it back in the day. It really hit. And watching Zac run around that gold course like a freak was part of the fun 😄
The dance break in I don't dance is the best part of the whole movie!! I watched this as a kid and loved that scene and still love it to today. I knew Billy would love it!
YES! I’m so glad you reacted to HSM2! Now all thy has left is HSM3: Senior Year! The third one low key has like the best songs! #Bingers: HSM3: Senior Year, The Rush Hour Trilogy, Bride Wars, Couples Retreat, Aladdin (Live Action), Date Night
Also the third one premiered in theaters! And it’s fine if you like the first one better. The first one is my favorite, too. It’s a classic. But again, the third one has the best songs imo.
Swear! Troy getting basketball offers in this movie and Gabriella is upset and friends are jealous but in HSM3 then Gabriella then gets offered to Stanford with Troy getting upset too. Make up your minds people 😂
No bs I hated the plot line for this movie bc Troy was just focusing on himself and college . Just bc he didn’t bring them up all the time didn’t mean he was a bad person . I understand a little where the friends was coming from but Gabriella did too much for me . A little more communication would’ve did justice but I understand it’s just a movie lol
@@abrielle13 Ik lol I always fuck it up bc I picture myself as the main character in anything I watch and I would’ve snapped on them if I was Troy😂 “so just bc I’m tryna secure my future yall mad? I gotta put me first” lmfaoooo
It upsets me even more in the 3rd where Gabriella gets upset at Troy for not being considerate of the sacrifices he needs to make so SHE can go to the school of her dreams!
I remember having all the dolls from this movie including Sharpay’s car. I remember sitting down in my Fiona from Shrek chair and my Dad giving me dinner in my room just to watch this premiere. I miss the early 2000s where things weren’t as problematic as it is now.
Yeah, Billy, it’s really Zac singing. He sings in the 2nd and 3rd sequel 👍🏼 He also sings in The Greatest Showman, but when’s the Shrek 2 reaction coming? #bingers
Favorite song is 100% "Gotta Go My Own Way" it was amazing!! I actually used it to break up with my boyfriend in high school ahahahahahhahahahahah it was so fitting and savage lmfao.. I didn't sing it to him, I just played it for him and he knew. Also the Bet on It song hilarious when he's dancing all goofy!
It’s okay to not like this one Billy 😂 it’s just funny because for most HSM fans this is their favorite of the trilogy. Music-wise, this and HSM3 are my faves. But the first one is a classic so I absolutely understand. It’s different for me though because I grew up with all 3 movies.
Honestly this is my favorite HSM movie out of the three movies and my ranking for the songs has to be: 1. Bet on it 2. I gotta go my own way 3. I don’t dance Also the fact that I had a wallet as a kid with the cast of HSM says a lot about my childhood and where these movies belong in my heart ❤️
My little sister was obsessed with high school musical. My husband and I actually met at work and were friends before we started dating. It started because I offered to give him a ride home, and we would sit outside his house and talk for hours. We've been married for 6 years in July, and we've been together for 7. 😁
Mu husband and I started a relationship after becoming close at work. He used to lend me his jacket when it was cold and I loved how it smelt! We've been together for 12 years and still both work at the same place.
My all time favorite is “Gotta Go My Own Way”. It just has a certain appeal to it ✨ I will say though, “Bet On It” is amazing in its own way. It was ICONIC to watch Zac Efron run around like a fool for 2 min straight as a little children! That shit was the best! 😌🤣 Real note though - I feel like they low key did Zac dirty with his “choreography” and performances. We’ve seen him pull off pretty good foot work; they could’ve done something completely different, like what they did with Chad & Ryan. Instead we got the whole “Bet On It” scene… 😂 still iconic though
I didn’t date my coworker, who also might have been my boss 🙄, but we did mess around until I found out that man had a whole wife and newborn at home 😂😩
HSM2 is the best one to me nobody can change my mind Sharply wasn't the villain she literally helped so many people. Always worked hard and never asked for help. She helped Gabrielle with vocal lessons, Troy get a job and better grades and he still treated her like crap when all she wanted was to perform with him just once.
This movie had 17 million views I believe that’s why they made a 3rd movie, my favorite song was “I don’t dance” and that’s Miley cuz ppl voted for her to be in the movie
I hooked up with a co-worker a few years back. We just got married in October 😂Gotta Go My Own Way is by faaar the best song from this movie! Such a great break up song.
High school musical 2 had the best music out of all three movies, in the scene where they sing everyday they said it was so windy and cold, which makes since because they were filming in the desert
Don't know if someone has mentioned, but Lucas Grabeel (Ryan) had knee surgery before they began rehearsals for this movie. He said while doing "I Don't Dance" he was wearing two knee braces and a back brace and every time Kenny Ortega called cut, he would just collapse in pain.
I wasn’t really a big fan of the HSM movies but the song “Bet on it” has a parody version to where it’s the song “Let it go” to Zac dancing. It’s hilarious I think you’d enjoy it. Love your videos. Keep up the good work!!! Also #Billybinges Rise of the Guardians
There’s also the parody that Lin Manuel Miranda did when In the Heights went to Broadway. It’s called Heights Cool Musical Too, and it’s on the usnavi RUclips channel.
I couldn't wait until it got to the "Go my own way" and "Bet on it" parts! Hands down the best parts of the film! Billy always has the best reactions 😂
I was making a food delivery and waiting on you to go live and heard your voice on the way back to my car and rushed back to my car with a smile on my face. I listen to stuff to make the day go by faster in both jobs.
After watching the premiere, the soundtrack overall was weaker musically than I remembered (they killed the dances in pretty much every song tho), but Gotta Go My Own Way and Everyday are still two of my favorite songs from the entire series
While I am not crazy for the actual movie, the soundtrack still slaps except for two songs. “I don’t dance” is obviously the best song. Parents and kids jammed to this song. My stupid brain back than did not see the queerness of chad and Ryan in this song. Than I saw comments on how this is literally called “the gay baseball song”. I laugh every time. I love how even billy noticed it.
I love this movie and yes Zac actually sang for this movie and Lucas (Ryan) sang the song that was playing in the Mustang. My siblings and I got this movie for Christmas in 2007. And we watched it every day for a few months.
This movie is great. My favorite song in the whole franchise is I Don’t Dance. My other top 2 are from the 3rd movie. I really hope you do that one too!
I think if Gabriella acted like troy in this film or later, I would say the same thing. I get taking once in a lifetime opportunities, but he was getting a big head and disrespecting his friends which wasn’t right. Also, he kept breaking his promises to them which can be annoying. He should have least talked to people when last minute plans came up. He had time playing on the court, but no time to come clean to his friends. I did not mind too much because at least they showed him as flawed and giving him an arc.
A lot of people say Gabriella was dtm and that sharpay was just helping but I so disagree. Sharply had her own manipulative motives and Gabriella was reacting to Troy switching up like any 17 year old would
The baseball scene was my favorite as a kid. I still play this song in my car. Also I had the Gabriella doll that had the dress and sang this song from the pool scene when you push the button
Vanessa always has the best song in every movie! The first 2 were Disney Channel movies, but the third one had a much bigger budget and was a theatrical release. The music for the third one is by far the best from any of the movies so you definitely need to check that one out soon!
The series started with them already in Junior Year, but they were on winter break, so the first HSM was about December to January. The second movie is the same summer of their Junior Year, and the third is their entire Senior Year
Loved that you picked up on Ryan and Chad lol. Kenny definitely wrote Ryan as gay but couldnt pull the trigger due to Disney and he absolutely coded Chad as a closeted bisexual and really did that entire scene perfectly for the fans he knew would pick up on it without p*ssing off the ones who wouldnt AKA the ones who would have an issue with any LGBTQ representation in the films.
Sharpay is mother I fear. She still got me stanning 15 years later Like Humuhumunukunukuapua’a, you’re not gonna get it the first time around, you’re not gonna get at the second time around but the third time around you’re gonna be like “whoa? “
When Billy talked about throwing the grapes I just imagined him throwing a handful I mean fist full of grapes at the poor girl 🤣🤣 I love watching Billy his commentary always cracks me up 🤣💀
I personally like the I can't dance song mainly because they sing it while dancing so its very ironic. Also I think the 2nd is better for the music. Many speculate that actually Gabriella is the antagonist because sharpay was having him meeting people and giving him a career boost and all Gabriella wanted to do was play in the pool and sing. Now, to ease stress is senior year, many schools start prepping for college junior year by fillimg out applications and getting everyone mentally prepared and start planning their future whether they go to college or not.
#bingers u should react to the greatest showman, spiderman no way home, and tick tick boom :) they're all so good!! also the songs in this movie are bopssss! love ur channel
#Bingers Top 3 Musicals I would LOVE for you to react too! And if not hear your opinion on! I shortened my list because you did the 2nd HSM and if you reacted to Hamilton you would get copyrighted hard! So yeah! “The Greatest Showman” and “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” are the ones I 100% would love your opinion on and “In The Heights” is always something I recommend because is honestly one of my favorite musicals! 1. High School Musical 3: Senior Year 2. The Greatest Showman 3. In The Heights (Edited to correct a spelling error)
Billy Now you better react to HSM 3: Senior Year 🤣🤣🥹 25:59 Billy being confused with Chad & Ryan made me laugh because that was literally our reactions
zack efron did have to go that hard with bet on it, but he did, he did for the culture 😂 #bingers Anastasia(1997) tron legacy(2010) Night at the museum(2006) Cloudy with a change of meatballs(2009)
When I was 18 and lifeguarding one summer, I started dating a coworker. It lasted about 2 weeks, and then one night he got drunk, told his friends where I lived, and they egged my house. I broke up with him after that. It has been 10 years and I still have not told my parents that I know who egged the house.
It’s interesting how films can evoke such strong emotions, isn’t it? Watching *High School Musical 2* for the first time really illuminated how complex some of these characters are, and yet I found myself feeling a bit dejected by the experience. While on the surface it’s a fun, feel-good musical with catchy songs and lively choreography, there’s an underlying tension that I just couldn't shake off. The pressures that Troy faces, trying to balance his dreams with the expectations of his friends and family, resonated with me on a deeper level. It’s a struggle that many of us can relate to-wanting to pursue your passions but feeling pulled in different directions by loyalty and societal pressures. His character arc made me reflect on my own choices and the compromises we sometimes make. Additionally, the way the group dynamics change throughout the movie brought back memories of the challenges I faced in high school-friendships that evolved, jealousy, and the fear of not fitting in. The “status” aspect depicted in the film, with characters vying for popularity and recognition, struck a chord. It’s a reminder of how these elements can lead to feelings of isolation and inadequacy, regardless of how vibrant and fun everything seems on the surface. Moreover, Sharpay's ambition, while often portrayed in a negative light, also made me ponder the importance of pursuing one's goals relentlessly, even if it means stepping on others (or being perceived as ruthless). It's a double-edged sword that brings to light the gray areas of ambition and ethics in friendships. In the end, while the film is meant to be uplifting, the complexity of the issues it raises left me with a sense of melancholy, realizing that these themes are quite relatable to real life. It makes me appreciate how storytelling can invite us to reflect on our own experiences, even if it sometimes leads us to feelings of dejection. I genuinely value these moments of introspection-although they can be hard, they aid in personal growth. So, while I expected a light-hearted movie, what I got was a mix of nostalgia and the bittersweet realization of the challenges that come with growing up. Thanks for reading my thoughts! Did anyone else feel a twinge of sadness while watching?
I remember I watched this again when I got older and I laughed so hard when Gabriella was singing the one song where she went home. Like she was really that upset 🤣

@@JuviaLockser12 okkkk
Nah, the second movie was the BEST one. I Don't Dance and WHat Time Is It will forever be on repeat in my head.
Troy was just trying to secure his future, and his friends were haters🤚
That’s a fair take!
#Troydidnothingwrong
Swear! Troy getting basketball offers in this movie and Gabriella is upset and friends are jealous but in HSM3 then Gabriella then gets offered to Stanford with Troy getting upset too. Make up your minds people 😂
No bs I hated the plot line for this movie bc Troy was just focusing on himself and college . Just bc he didn’t bring them up all the time didn’t mean he was a bad person . I understand a little where the friends was coming from but Gabriella did too much for me . A little more communication would’ve did justice but I understand it’s just a movie lol
They're also playing teenagers lol. Teens don't have that kind of rationality most of the time.
@@abrielle13 Ik lol I always fuck it up bc I picture myself as the main character in anything I watch and I would’ve snapped on them if I was Troy😂 “so just bc I’m tryna secure my future yall mad? I gotta put me first” lmfaoooo
It upsets me even more in the 3rd where Gabriella gets upset at Troy for not being considerate of the sacrifices he needs to make so SHE can go to the school of her dreams!
@@sierrab5010 no rs . She pissed me off bc it always felt like she took EVERY opportunity to break up w him
4:57 they were only like one year older though Vanessa Hudgens was 19. In the first movie Corbin Blue was 17
There's a reason Sharpay's tiki song was cut from the film originally😂
I remember having all the dolls from this movie including Sharpay’s car. I remember sitting down in my Fiona from Shrek chair and my Dad giving me dinner in my room just to watch this premiere. I miss the early 2000s where things weren’t as problematic as it is now.
Yeah, Billy, it’s really Zac singing.
He sings in the 2nd and 3rd sequel 👍🏼
He also sings in The Greatest Showman, but when’s the Shrek 2 reaction coming? #bingers
Favorite song is 100% "Gotta Go My Own Way" it was amazing!! I actually used it to break up with my boyfriend in high school ahahahahahhahahahahah it was so fitting and savage lmfao.. I didn't sing it to him, I just played it for him and he knew. Also the Bet on It song hilarious when he's dancing all goofy!
You actually played this man the song??? 😂 my goodness… Rebecca you a savage
@@BillyBinges 16 year old Rebecca was a savage for sure hahahahah and 12 years later I still cringe thinking about it hahah.
13:52 BILLY SAID THE GENRE OF A DOG😭BAHAH U MEAN BREED LMFAO U MADE MY DAY SM BETTER
You definitely should also watch Pitch Perfect, not set in high school but college instead! And it’s better! #bingers
It’s okay to not like this one Billy 😂 it’s just funny because for most HSM fans this is their favorite of the trilogy. Music-wise, this and HSM3 are my faves. But the first one is a classic so I absolutely understand. It’s different for me though because I grew up with all 3 movies.
HSM2 def has the best soundtrack 😭
hsm3 the best one
I'm with Billy, as far as music goes and plot, HS1 will always be my favorite
The 1st one is my favorite movie while the 3rd one, to me, has the best songs.
Honestly this is my favorite HSM movie out of the three movies and my ranking for the songs has to be:
1. Bet on it
2. I gotta go my own way
3. I don’t dance
Also the fact that I had a wallet as a kid with the cast of HSM says a lot about my childhood and where these movies belong in my heart ❤️
My little sister was obsessed with high school musical. My husband and I actually met at work and were friends before we started dating. It started because I offered to give him a ride home, and we would sit outside his house and talk for hours. We've been married for 6 years in July, and we've been together for 7. 😁
Mu husband and I started a relationship after becoming close at work. He used to lend me his jacket when it was cold and I loved how it smelt! We've been together for 12 years and still both work at the same place.
My all time favorite is “Gotta Go My Own Way”. It just has a certain appeal to it ✨ I will say though, “Bet On It” is amazing in its own way. It was ICONIC to watch Zac Efron run around like a fool for 2 min straight as a little children! That shit was the best! 😌🤣
Real note though - I feel like they low key did Zac dirty with his “choreography” and performances. We’ve seen him pull off pretty good foot work; they could’ve done something completely different, like what they did with Chad & Ryan. Instead we got the whole “Bet On It” scene… 😂 still iconic though
I didn’t date my coworker, who also might have been my boss 🙄, but we did mess around until I found out that man had a whole wife and newborn at home 😂😩
Damn Andrea 😂 the whole family at home? That’s wild
HSM2 is the best one to me nobody can change my mind
Sharply wasn't the villain she literally helped so many people. Always worked hard and never asked for help.
She helped Gabrielle with vocal lessons, Troy get a job and better grades and he still treated her like crap when all she wanted was to perform with him just once.
Facts But I can't decide between the three beacuse there honestly All amazing
The first 2 are definitely contenders for the best one. That being said, the 3rd one is decent as well but can't contend with the previous movies.
Sharpay was GOLD PLATINUM and DIAMOND 💎 status in this movie I’m so happy she was the lead
The song that was playing when Shar-Pei and Ryan pulled up in the pink mustang was sung by Ryan's Actor lol
Every time you say 'Efron' I'm just wheezing. The cycle of mispronunciation goes on I see and I'm living for it 😂
This movie had 17 million views I believe that’s why they made a 3rd movie, my favorite song was “I don’t dance” and that’s Miley cuz ppl voted for her to be in the movie
I hooked up with a co-worker a few years back. We just got married in October 😂Gotta Go My Own Way is by faaar the best song from this movie! Such a great break up song.
High school musical 2 had the best music out of all three movies, in the scene where they sing everyday they said it was so windy and cold, which makes since because they were filming in the desert
Don't know if someone has mentioned, but Lucas Grabeel (Ryan) had knee surgery before they began rehearsals for this movie. He said while doing "I Don't Dance" he was wearing two knee braces and a back brace and every time Kenny Ortega called cut, he would just collapse in pain.
"I Don't Dance" will always be my favorite because of the implications of the song.
They got Gabriella looking like Spring time barbie and Zac like Malibu Ken Dead, 😆 lol!
I wasn’t really a big fan of the HSM movies but the song “Bet on it” has a parody version to where it’s the song “Let it go” to Zac dancing. It’s hilarious I think you’d enjoy it. Love your videos. Keep up the good work!!!
Also #Billybinges Rise of the Guardians
There’s also the parody that Lin Manuel Miranda did when In the Heights went to Broadway. It’s called Heights Cool Musical Too, and it’s on the usnavi RUclips channel.
I couldn't wait until it got to the "Go my own way" and "Bet on it" parts! Hands down the best parts of the film! Billy always has the best reactions 😂
Man... We grew up on this this movie and it is full of bops 🤩 that song Sharpay sings when Troy is late is a bonus scene
I was making a food delivery and waiting on you to go live and heard your voice on the way back to my car and rushed back to my car with a smile on my face. I listen to stuff to make the day go by faster in both jobs.
After watching the premiere, the soundtrack overall was weaker musically than I remembered (they killed the dances in pretty much every song tho), but Gotta Go My Own Way and Everyday are still two of my favorite songs from the entire series
While I am not crazy for the actual movie, the soundtrack still slaps except for two songs.
“I don’t dance” is obviously the best song. Parents and kids jammed to this song. My stupid brain back than did not see the queerness of chad and Ryan in this song.
Than I saw comments on how this is literally called “the gay baseball song”. I laugh every time.
I love how even billy noticed it.
Bro I think the creator confirmed Ryan was supposed to be gay and Disney was like.....Naaaah LOL
I love this movie and yes Zac actually sang for this movie and Lucas (Ryan) sang the song that was playing in the Mustang. My siblings and I got this movie for Christmas in 2007. And we watched it every day for a few months.
This movie is great. My favorite song in the whole franchise is I Don’t Dance. My other top 2 are from the 3rd movie. I really hope you do that one too!
"Everyday" is my favorite from this movie
I think if Gabriella acted like troy in this film or later, I would say the same thing.
I get taking once in a lifetime opportunities, but he was getting a big head and disrespecting his friends which wasn’t right. Also, he kept breaking his promises to them which can be annoying. He should have least talked to people when last minute plans came up. He had time playing on the court, but no time to come clean to his friends.
I did not mind too much because at least they showed him as flawed and giving him an arc.
A lot of people say Gabriella was dtm and that sharpay was just helping but I so disagree. Sharply had her own manipulative motives and Gabriella was reacting to Troy switching up like any 17 year old would
“WAS SHE KRUMPIN” took me outtt🤣🤣
The baseball scene was my favorite as a kid. I still play this song in my car. Also I had the Gabriella doll that had the dress and sang this song from the pool scene when you push the button
you not jamming out to bet on it hurt my soul. one of my favorite songs from the whole franchise
Vanessa always has the best song in every movie! The first 2 were Disney Channel movies, but the third one had a much bigger budget and was a theatrical release. The music for the third one is by far the best from any of the movies so you definitely need to check that one out soon!
Can’t believe this movie is 15 years old. The fact that I’m 30 means that was half of my life ago. Crazy!
Golden throat?! An adult wrote that line! 😂🤦🏽♀️
This was HILARIOUS! I thoroughly enjoyed this after a long day at work. Thank you! I laughed so hard
The series started with them already in Junior Year, but they were on winter break, so the first HSM was about December to January. The second movie is the same summer of their Junior Year, and the third is their entire Senior Year
Loved that you picked up on Ryan and Chad lol. Kenny definitely wrote Ryan as gay but couldnt pull the trigger due to Disney and he absolutely coded Chad as a closeted bisexual and really did that entire scene perfectly for the fans he knew would pick up on it without p*ssing off the ones who wouldnt AKA the ones who would have an issue with any LGBTQ representation in the films.
The way they hate on Troy this movie for the same reason they support and look up to Gabriella in the 3rd is insane. Worst friends ever
Sharpay is mother I fear. She still got me stanning 15 years later
Like Humuhumunukunukuapua’a, you’re not gonna get it the first time around, you’re not gonna get at the second time around but the third time around you’re gonna be like “whoa? “
My favorite songs from this sequel are the Troy & Gabriella songs and “I Don’t Dance”, the song that was playing during the baseball scene
This is my fav in the franchise! Soo good!
#bingers
1. Tick Tick boom
2. Love and Basketball
3. Something New
0:15 As soon as you said Confessions I instinctively began to sing Usher 😌 Love that song
BIIIIILLLYYYY… I never laughed so hard until you got to Zach’s solo.. 😭😂🤣😂😭 The tears were real..
When Billy talked about throwing the grapes I just imagined him throwing a handful I mean fist full of grapes at the poor girl 🤣🤣 I love watching Billy his commentary always cracks me up 🤣💀
I personally like the I can't dance song mainly because they sing it while dancing so its very ironic. Also I think the 2nd is better for the music. Many speculate that actually Gabriella is the antagonist because sharpay was having him meeting people and giving him a career boost and all Gabriella wanted to do was play in the pool and sing. Now, to ease stress is senior year, many schools start prepping for college junior year by fillimg out applications and getting everyone mentally prepared and start planning their future whether they go to college or not.
they didn’t just switch hats they swapped their whole outfits…🤣
Can't wait for Billy to react to some of the bangers like The Boys Are Back and Scream in hsm3😆 great reactions as always
I’ve been having a really tough time today, and this just made me feel so much better. Keep doing what you do!! Much love💓💓
How he pronounced Zac EEE-Fron every time 🤣🤣🤣
Billy out here picking up the Chad and Ryan Subtext in this and the Sirius and Remus subtext in Harry Potter and I am here for it 👏🏻👏🏻😂
#bingers

Definitely agree with all 3!💜
Definitely Greatest showman #bingers
tik tik boom made me cry😭😭
YESSS
Music in Me and Fabulous is still iconic to this day
#Bingers
Top 3 Musicals I would LOVE for you to react too! And if not hear your opinion on! I shortened my list because you did the 2nd HSM and if you reacted to Hamilton you would get copyrighted hard! So yeah! “The Greatest Showman” and “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” are the ones I 100% would love your opinion on and “In The Heights” is always something I recommend because is honestly one of my favorite musicals!
1. High School Musical 3: Senior Year
2. The Greatest Showman
3. In The Heights
(Edited to correct a spelling error)
“Let me find out she can play the flute” I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
Billy Now you better react to HSM 3: Senior Year 🤣🤣🥹 25:59 Billy being confused with Chad & Ryan made me laugh because that was literally our reactions
RIGHT!!!!!!
I do hope you will do HSM3 as well, so you have the whole trilogy on the channel 😄 You're gonna love the dance routines in the third one!
zack efron did have to go that hard with bet on it, but he did, he did for the culture 😂

When I was 18 and lifeguarding one summer, I started dating a coworker. It lasted about 2 weeks, and then one night he got drunk, told his friends where I lived, and they egged my house. I broke up with him after that. It has been 10 years and I still have not told my parents that I know who egged the house.
Billy: Ion think ima like this one😐
*three seconds later*
Billy: WORK, WORK, WORK IT OUT!😆
😂
It’s interesting how films can evoke such strong emotions, isn’t it? Watching *High School Musical 2* for the first time really illuminated how complex some of these characters are, and yet I found myself feeling a bit dejected by the experience. While on the surface it’s a fun, feel-good musical with catchy songs and lively choreography, there’s an underlying tension that I just couldn't shake off.
The pressures that Troy faces, trying to balance his dreams with the expectations of his friends and family, resonated with me on a deeper level. It’s a struggle that many of us can relate to-wanting to pursue your passions but feeling pulled in different directions by loyalty and societal pressures. His character arc made me reflect on my own choices and the compromises we sometimes make.
Additionally, the way the group dynamics change throughout the movie brought back memories of the challenges I faced in high school-friendships that evolved, jealousy, and the fear of not fitting in. The “status” aspect depicted in the film, with characters vying for popularity and recognition, struck a chord. It’s a reminder of how these elements can lead to feelings of isolation and inadequacy, regardless of how vibrant and fun everything seems on the surface.
Moreover, Sharpay's ambition, while often portrayed in a negative light, also made me ponder the importance of pursuing one's goals relentlessly, even if it means stepping on others (or being perceived as ruthless). It's a double-edged sword that brings to light the gray areas of ambition and ethics in friendships.
In the end, while the film is meant to be uplifting, the complexity of the issues it raises left me with a sense of melancholy, realizing that these themes are quite relatable to real life. It makes me appreciate how storytelling can invite us to reflect on our own experiences, even if it sometimes leads us to feelings of dejection. I genuinely value these moments of introspection-although they can be hard, they aid in personal growth.
So, while I expected a light-hearted movie, what I got was a mix of nostalgia and the bittersweet realization of the challenges that come with growing up. Thanks for reading my thoughts! Did anyone else feel a twinge of sadness while watching?
I remember I watched this again when I got older and I laughed so hard when Gabriella was singing the one song where she went home. Like she was really that upset 🤣
He wild for that "Once in a while, yo big headed....." KILLED ME
I'm in quarantine right now and your video is helping me feel happy right now. I hope Allah blesses you tremendously.
Cant wait for part 3
