What kills me with Mitchie's fake keyboard playing is that Demi actually knows how to play the piano and the guitar so they could allow them to just play but nope 😂
I love how Amanda mostly covers indi or horror or other films with heavy themes and then suddenly takes a hard left and comes out with something like this.😂
honestly, the only reason my child brain justified Mitchie tolerating Tess’ bullying but not Shane’s is because i was like “it’s just easier to be mean to boys. girls want girls approval.” yes, i am gay.
As a person named Tess, I just want to say I appreciate you typing Tess’ instead of Tess’s. I think the latter is supposed to be correct but it looks goddamn stupid 😂 A stupid thing to appreciate, but appreciated nonetheless
To answer your question: yes, back in 2008 I did think that this was the coolest thing. Also, I remember I used to tell my parents that I was a rock fan and that pop music sucked. And when they would ask me what rock artists I liked, I'd name Selena Gomez, Demi, Taylor Swift and Hannah Montana (for some reason not Miley) as the biggest rock influences of our time. What a time to be alive
Amanda not having seen HSM somehow gives her less context for this one 😂 cause when she argued "Why isn't Tess stealing Mitchie's song?" I automatically went "Because if she remade a song meant for the main character in her style she'd just be Sharpay"
It never made sense to me how in te sequel the camp is struggling financially when its supposed to be a very exclusive camp for the rich kids of famous celebrities and nobody ever points this out Like a big plot point of the first movie was that she was the only normal "poor" person there
The fact that Camp Rock had Alison Stoner, literal professional hip hip dancer, never really dance in this movie is insane to me to this day. I loved this movie, but it was purely because I was obligated to as a die hard Jobros fan
21:44 As a hardcore JoBro fanatic at the time of this movies release, I'll take this one. Nick was kinda a musical theater prodigy as a child. He was on broadway as Chip in Beauty and the Beast, Tiny Tim, Garvoche in Les Mis ect. as well as having recorded a Christmas song in the early 2000s. Nick got an interview at Disneys record label due to his theater connections and his whole family went along for support. The execs were so impressed by Nick that they jokingly asked him if he had any brothers and Nick (the serious one he's always been) took them literally, went out into the hall, and pulled Joe and Kevin into the room. The execs flipped when they found out Joe and Kevin could also sing and that between the 3 of them they played like 5-6 instruments.
"she's really good" is one of those scenes that will remain in my memory even in my last moments, I will never forget how unhinged that collection of sounds is. They had an actual music producer to created something that at least made sense but this is way better.
when you said "in high school musical do the songs also sound like they're not really being sung by the people on screen" I lol'd. hsm fun fact: Zac Efron did not sing in the first high school musical, he lipsynced and the voice of Drew Seeley was used. but it was zac's real voice in hsm 2 and hsm 3! also I may be biased but I think the movies really hold up, and I love the big budget production of the 3rd one. yes i saw it in theaters.
So, I have two absolutely not correlated fun facts: 1: Making your voice sound like 2 people can happen with a vocal technique called overtone singing, in which you're basically singing and harmonizing with yourself. It's really cool. HOWEVER it wouldn't sound like a full on track like in the movie 😂 2. I believe the final "3 months later" scene came with the dvd only as a bonus scene or something like that. I think I only saw it once on disney channel and in later reruns it disappeared
i was so confused with the “three months later” scene because i watched that movie dozens of times on disney channel and haven’t seen that scene not even once lmao
I confirm, the original airing on Disney Channel ended with We Rock! The first time I ever heard Our Time is Here was when I was burning the soundtrack on a CD for my little cousin who was an absolute fanatic, I only saw there was an actual video on RUclips years later
That explains a lot. I knew Camp Rock because when my kid was 3 or 4 it was on Disney Channel a lot and he _loved_ it (I think it was in the run up to Teen Beach Movie’s premiere that Camp Rock and all the HSMs were on a lot.) and watched it on repeat. Which meant I had to at least listen to it on repeat, lol. Anyway, I didn’t remember that “3 months later” bit at all. Thought I was going crazy, lol.
Yeah i loved camp rock as a kid and got the dvd as a present and when i saw that scene i lost my mind. Our time is here is still a bop to this day my fav song feom the moviw hands down.
As a Jonas Brothers fan for the past 15 years (have seen them more than 30 times as a band lmao) there are no lies told about how bad this movie is. The Jonas Brothers themselves - mostly Joe - always make fun of this, including the awful Joe dance lmao. And as fans who this meant a lot to when we were like 14, we also love to make fun of how bad it is. We all do look back at the time fondly so sometimes a song of two will be played on tour and a lot of people eat it the hell up. Also since you asked, the Jonas Brothers weren't formed by Disney! They were signed to Columbia records and released a punk-pop album that flopped terribly, played sets at local malls and and middle/high schools for years. Disney caught on to them later on but they were already a band with the Jonas Brothers name and songs they wrote. Hope that helps. Thanks for the laughs lmao, bye!
Agreed, the dancing and parts of this movie were def awful and hilarious to make fun of, but I still love it in all it's badness nonetheless haha. Went to the Jbro's concert recently, and it was definitely a fond throwback when they brought out the camp rock songs. :)
WAIT WHAT?! You did not grow up on this cinematic masterpiece? SHOOKETH. And yes, I saw it on TV and thought everyone was iconic. Peggy is the MVP though.
@@AmandaTheJediAccording to ~the Google~ I'm like 2 months older than you and ONE HUNDRED PERCENT loved High School Musical and saw it a million times and y'know... Camp Rock was there. I saw it. YOU'RE THE PEAK AGE 😂😂
@@Jaclyn_Lizzi I had to google that, too, and it said she was born in '96, but if that's not correct and she's somehow older than me, I'd understand. But I was born in '90 and HSM came out when I was 16, so I think I was in the perfect demographic for it. But then again, I had just started watching Disney Channel and their original movies, soo maybe that's why I was so hyped about them all (plus, I love movies with music and dancing, incl. musicals). And yes, I'm not from the US.
Mitchie could have easily admitted that she was the caterer's daughter. Forget ties to the music industry, free food is a huge bonus. Also, Demi and Selena shared the same on screen mum!
I had no idea rock/theater/music camps were a thing (like, a non-movie thing) so vibes where never an issue for me with this but it is an absolute delight seeing Amanda losing it over the absence of "rock" 😂
I remember thinking Joe Jonas ate in that dance scene 😂😂😂 I rewatched Camp Rock recently and laughed so hard at how dated everything was. Mitchie didn't deserve as good a friend as Caitlyn. That being said, This is Me/Gotta Find You is still a certified banger
That "3 months later" ending is exclusive to the Extended Edition; the original TV version did not have that. And yes, while we in Canada watched the DCOMs on Family Channel without commercials, Disney Channel had the commercial breaks.
The Jonas Brothers actually have a really interesting and inspiring origin story. They did a documentary called Chasing Happiness on Prime where they get into all the details, but they were definitely not nepo babies or created in a Disney lab!
I assume the title is secretly but actually referring to the camp being surrounded by rocks. P.S. I just noticed how much Joe Jonas looked like Shane Dawson at the time.
Fun fact: I taught younger brother of actor that played Katie in School of Rock how to yo-yo for years. Their mom gave me a copy of the movie signed by Rivkah after I had mentioned that I went to one of the real--life School of Rock music schools in high school. It's one of my most prized possessions.
I'm honestly waiting for the Julie and the Phantoms review because the actors actually played their instruments on that show, and there's not a miss on that soundtrack, imo
16:00 “Are the songs this overproduced in High School Musical as well? Like do they also sound like they’re not really being sung by the people on screen?” Drew Seeley has entered the chat.
Teenagers would love knowing who had an in with the cook, especially if the food is as good as Mitchie’s mom’s supposedly is. They’d be all “hey mitchie, when’s fried chicken?!”
The fake playing always got me. 😂Since you’re on Disney channel content, I really need to see your reaction to life with Derek! Even as a kid I could see the weird tension between the step siblings!
I will be eternally happy if you make a high school musical video. This is definitely one of your funniest, and I can’t wait for you to continue the Disney channel movie saga.
Not gonna lie I was a camp rock, high school musical, lemonade mouth girlie 😂. I was born in 2000. ALL these movies came out when I was the right age. Wasn’t even a Jones brothers fan but rocked hard with camp rock. 😂
HAHAHAHAHA YES! I was definetely the target audience when those movies came out. Sure some of them don't aged well (Lemonade Mouth is pretty much the only one i rewatch the most because it has a great message and wasn't cringy at the least bit and the characters were surprisingly likeable) but damn i won't lie if i said i have a soft spot for those movies that you mentioned cuz it came in the right age for me. I know some people hated Camp Rock these days and i understand it has issues but damn nostalgia hit me like a truck lol
Somehow, and I have no idea how, but despite being a little too old for the targeted demo, and having never been into the Jonas Brothers or Demi, this is my guilty pleasure movie. Like, I fully admit that it is absurd and terrible, but I love it anyway.
So.... as soon as you mentioned the death cult march, I knew you were going to be disappointed, because its the only thing I remember from the sequel. So I MAY have let out a villainous cackle when you realized that at the end. Also, while it is possible to simultaneously produce two different notes, it's REAL hard, and sounds nothing like what they were letting JoBro do in that bit. It's called like... throat singing or something like that? Either way, one of the notes is just a really low droning note, and then you have some degree of being able to do other stuff higher, but that's about it.
I gotta admit, I was obsessed with any movies that had Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato in them. Camp Rock, Princess Protection Program, Another Cinderella Story. I was also weirdly obsessed with Radio Rebel, as a super shy kid. I fast forwarded through a lot of songs when I would watch this, even as a kid, because the songs aside from Demi’s and Jonas Brothers were not interesting to me, so that’s fair, haha. I’m also glad that I was not the only one expecting the mean girl to steal the song, not lie about her stealing the bracelet.
I was the target demo for Radio Rebel and unfortunately i could not stomach that movie seriously😭. I had loved Debbie up to tht point too. And i loved her after in Insatiable
I was definetley the target audience for those movies. Disney Channel was at it's peak when they had Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers, Ross Lynch, Bridgit Mendler, Debby Ryan, Hilary Duff, Zendaya, Ashley Tisdale etc, let's be real by that! And as a kid, i'd watch ANY movies or TV shows that have them on Disney Channel. Sure their works on Disney Channel don't aged well in today's culture but god damn, i won't be lying if i said those movies still have a soft sport in my heart lol
Omg, I just received the notification and instantly starting laughing 😂😂 and I was like this is gonna be good 😂😂😂 Ps. Yes, there are people (not his case) that can do their own harmonies, it's called polyphony, for example Anna Marie Hefele
Btw high school musical is well known to be way better in regards to storyline and music. Being a fan of both movies when i was 8~10, HSM aged better and has more rewatch from me than camp rock (which i watch just for the memes)
I could care less about any of the movies and shows that AmandaTheJedi reviews but I can’t stop watching 😅 it’s great watching someone be passionate about something
The song at the end was actually a bonus scene for the dvd. I watched this on Disney Channel all the time, had the CD and knew the song, but I just realized that I have never seen the video before until you mentioned it 😂
Hello, it's 5:10 GMT and I'm drunk/hungover/haven't slept and I haven't watched your stuff in a while, but for some reason this is exactly what I need so thank you
As a guitar instructor and board member for a rock camp (part of the GRC alliance), I am A) very happy that rock camp was formative/important to you! And B) glad to see someone else losing their mind over how that definitely wasn't a rock camp.
Mitchie didn't win because it was the END of the final jam. Her performance didn't count. And even if it did, Shane participated in it, which wouldn't really be fair for her to win at that.
Oh you definitely have to watch The Final Jam for the cult dance it’s right at the very beginning but I haven’t laughed so hard watching something in ages as I did here (the relatable callouts ended me I was obsessed with this movie as a kid) and I would love to see your reaction to the full movie
i cannot emphasize how obsessed i was with this movie as a 10 year old i knew all the songs and dialogue by heart i rewatched it that much but yeah it's not holding up well looking back on it lmaooo i really enjoyed watching you cringe at the questionable decisions in the movie + i absolutely agree with the ranking of the songs you made i think disney probably banked on us kiddos not knowing what actual rock is that's the only reason i can think of that we found this the coolest thing ever
The best gift in this was that 10/10 throwback to Avril's "Happy Ending" now I've gotten spend my night relistening to Under My Skin and relive my primary school Angst
I really liked main song from Camp Rock (Demi/Joe duet), I have seen that movie on Disney channel - there wasn't that "3 months later" scene. Surprisingly I was not that cringed about the movie even I was in my late teens (nineteen). Only thing I was surprised was Demi's character choice of cloths - that shirt was something that old lady would wear (but Demi looked good in it at the end so...). Maybe that is a sign to finally watch second movie 😂
I was a teen when I first watched this movie..the secret to enjoying it is not thinking. You know they put.those scenes in to make the characters look cool so just make yourself think they are cool and enjoy Also 'this is me' and 'gotta find you' were in my playlist for years, I still stand by that the songs are bangers
I think I was a little older than the target demographic but I watched it with my little sister and we both laughed at Joe Jonas during that "hip hop dance class" lmao, mostly this movie introduced me to Demi Lovato who I still think is very talented and like most of her music since then, her first albums were pretty disney girl pop rock but I enjoyed them, and she just put out a rock version album of her most famous songs so everybody wins lol
I think Tess’s plan after finding her song book wasnt to like steal the song or Shane’s attention, I think Tess framed them for stealing the charm bracelet so mitchie would be banned from the final jam and Shane would never find out the girl he heard singing was mitchie (and then Tess would be free to win Shane’s attention and/or the final jam prize)
As a Nickelodeon child who never got to experience these Disney movies when I was a kid it’s great to finally learn what these iconic movies are actually about
Hasta La Vista is the only thing I remember from Camp Rock, but it's been stuck in my head ever since childhood. To the point that for years I remembered the song but had no idea it was from Camp Rock.
IM SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE "MY HAPPY ENDING" CONNECTION!!! I have to consciously remind myself that the ending doesn't go into that song whenever I think of "This is Me". I don't know which song came first but someone owes someone else some royalties. Also the awkward extended eye look exists not because it's made for younger audiences but because Demi and the Jonas Brothers were part of like a purity culture that Disney teens had at the time. They had purity rings and shit, it was like a whole deal.
Oh I am so here for this. I only just recently saw Camp Rock since it was my girlfriend's childhood and it was... interesting. Super excited to see your thoughts!
Ikr! I still find myself singing it from time to time and I'm like... Where is this coming from? I also liked then Nick Jonas song in that movie, solely because it speeds up as it goes. My English wasn't very good back when I was watching these movies so I had very good cheesiness endurance.
While High School Musical has undoubtedly held up much better, I have to admit I was a major fan of Camp Rock when I was a kid. I even had this Camp Rock satchel bag for a long time. It didn't bother me that it wasn't true rock, because I didn't really have an idea of what that was at that age lol.
I am fairly sure I wasn't in the demographic for either 😂 but I loooooved HSM religiously in high school, I was a musical kid and Camp Rock wasn't "musical theatre enough", so I enjoyed many of the songs but I wasn't never big on the movies. But I kida feel your pain lol I had people constantly recommending Glee to me because I love musical theatre and I spene the best of my youth trying to explain that people singing and musicals are not necessarily the same thing. "But they're singing...you love when people sing... " 🤦🏼♀️😆
Oh please do Lemonade Mouth! I have so much nostalgia for that movie ❤ I seem to remember it being pretty good for Disney Channel movie standards... but that could just be the nostalgia goggles talking.
It is possible to make your voice sound like two voices at once. The singer Diana Ankudinova can do it. She sings in contralto which is already really rare and on top of that shes capable of polyphony which is over lapping voices.
Idk how I didn’t realize until now that despite the movie being called “Camp Rock”, there’s not a lot of rock songs in it. Lemonade Mouth has more rock music in it than Camp Rock lmao.
Disney KINDA ran commercials. They still blocked out the normal 30 minute increments for shows, and during 'ad breaks', they'd ONLY advertise Disney things. So they'd run a 3 minute music video in one slot, do like 30 seconds of "coming up next/later today", "this friday", etc and run trailers for upcoming specials.
Never really realized Mitchi was such a pick me 😂😂😂 But honestly I got goosebumps from listening to Hasta la Vista, This is me/Gotta be You and We Rock Camp Rock because it hit me with so much nostalgia. I loooved the songs growing up so much 😂😂😂
I love camp rock despite having never seen it because I came out on the same day as camp rock! We have the same release dates, june 20th 2008 was a true cultural day
Oh god I remember seeing ads for this movie back in the day. I think I might've even caught some of it at night once when I fell asleep with Disney Channel on? idk I can't remember, but I remember being annoyed that it was called "Camp Rock" yet it had nothing to do with Rock 'n Roll.
I never watched this movie as my only access to Disney channel was my grandma's house, but whenever I went over the ads for Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam were always playing. Me and my sister still shout, "Camp Rock is the place to be!"
If you're genuinely curious, Disney channel DOES run ads, but exclusively for other Disney channel shows/movies. They would also air interview type segments with the actors, or music videos from the Disney mania albums (where Disney channel stars covered classic Disney movies songs), and similar things. Oh and when a Disney channel star released an album they would air music videos for them too. Or at least this was true from like 2000-2014 when I and then younger family members were watching it.
@@AmandaTheJedi ah okay, so in the US they were the length and regularity you would find on any other channel, with breaks during movies, and so everything begins and ends on an hour or half hour mark.
I was not a Camp Rocker. I was well past their target audience age by the time it came out.😜But I love hearing your take on anything, so I loved this!🥰
As someone who was already in highschool when Highschool Musical came out, let alone Camp Rock, immediately every excited to learn the plot of these from you. 😂

What kills me with Mitchie's fake keyboard playing is that Demi actually knows how to play the piano and the guitar so they could allow them to just play but nope 😂
Probably because Disney would've had to pay her more if she actually played those instruments.
I love how Amanda mostly covers indi or horror or other films with heavy themes and then suddenly takes a hard left and comes out with something like this.😂

no but fr every time Alyson stoner's character did any of her cringe "producer" stuff 12 year old me was like "she ate, I fear"
I was super punk rock listening to all American rejects
Amanda not having seen HSM somehow gives her less context for this one 😂 cause when she argued "Why isn't Tess stealing Mitchie's song?" I automatically went "Because if she remade a song meant for the main character in her style she'd just be Sharpay"

Like a big plot point of the first movie was that she was the only normal "poor" person there
Bc a lot of the campers left to go to camp star. They didn’t have the enrollment needed to upkeep with everything. Then even more people left
The fact that Camp Rock had Alison Stoner, literal professional hip hip dancer, never really dance in this movie is insane to me to this day.
I loved this movie, but it was purely because I was obligated to as a die hard Jobros fan
Professional hip hop dancer and also a really good singer!
Alison literally danced for Missy Elliott. She's so iconic!!

I'm honestly waiting for the Julie and the Phantoms review because the actors actually played their instruments on that show, and there's not a miss on that soundtrack, imo
16:00 “Are the songs this overproduced in High School Musical as well? Like do they also sound like they’re not really being sung by the people on screen?” Drew Seeley has entered the chat.
Teenagers would love knowing who had an in with the cook, especially if the food is as good as Mitchie’s mom’s supposedly is. They’d be all “hey mitchie, when’s fried chicken?!”
The fake playing always got me. 😂Since you’re on Disney channel content, I really need to see your reaction to life with Derek! Even as a kid I could see the weird tension between the step siblings!
Apparently, they were aware about how people were shipping Casey and Derek and decided to play up their chemistry more!
I will be eternally happy if you make a high school musical video. This is definitely one of your funniest, and I can’t wait for you to continue the Disney channel movie saga.
Not gonna lie I was a camp rock, high school musical, lemonade mouth girlie 😂. I was born in 2000. ALL these movies came out when I was the right age. Wasn’t even a Jones brothers fan but rocked hard with camp rock. 😂
HAHAHAHAHA YES! I was definetely the target audience when those movies came out. Sure some of them don't aged well (Lemonade Mouth is pretty much the only one i rewatch the most because it has a great message and wasn't cringy at the least bit and the characters were surprisingly likeable) but damn i won't lie if i said i have a soft spot for those movies that you mentioned cuz it came in the right age for me. I know some people hated Camp Rock these days and i understand it has issues but damn nostalgia hit me like a truck lol
the fact you missed out on “play my music” until now??? Criminal
Somehow, and I have no idea how, but despite being a little too old for the targeted demo, and having never been into the Jonas Brothers or Demi, this is my guilty pleasure movie. Like, I fully admit that it is absurd and terrible, but I love it anyway.
Same here! I was in college when it came out and I definitely watched it several times.
@@kelseykrehbiel8500 Hello 👋 nice to meet you 😊
So.... as soon as you mentioned the death cult march, I knew you were going to be disappointed, because its the only thing I remember from the sequel. So I MAY have let out a villainous cackle when you realized that at the end.
Also, while it is possible to simultaneously produce two different notes, it's REAL hard, and sounds nothing like what they were letting JoBro do in that bit. It's called like... throat singing or something like that? Either way, one of the notes is just a really low droning note, and then you have some degree of being able to do other stuff higher, but that's about it.
at 19:17 the spanish dub reworked the line as "Wow Eres Muy Lenta" so itd fit the hands, it translates to Wow Youre So Slow and i love it so much
I gotta admit, I was obsessed with any movies that had Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato in them. Camp Rock, Princess Protection Program, Another Cinderella Story. I was also weirdly obsessed with Radio Rebel, as a super shy kid. I fast forwarded through a lot of songs when I would watch this, even as a kid, because the songs aside from Demi’s and Jonas Brothers were not interesting to me, so that’s fair, haha. I’m also glad that I was not the only one expecting the mean girl to steal the song, not lie about her stealing the bracelet.
I was the target demo for Radio Rebel and unfortunately i could not stomach that movie seriously😭. I had loved Debbie up to tht point too. And i loved her after in Insatiable
I was definetley the target audience for those movies. Disney Channel was at it's peak when they had Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers, Ross Lynch, Bridgit Mendler, Debby Ryan, Hilary Duff, Zendaya, Ashley Tisdale etc, let's be real by that! And as a kid, i'd watch ANY movies or TV shows that have them on Disney Channel. Sure their works on Disney Channel don't aged well in today's culture but god damn, i won't be lying if i said those movies still have a soft sport in my heart lol
@@Erasureeraser those actors are from quite different time periods on Disney Channel lol, Hillary Duff and Zendaya are like a decade apart
@@emilyb.8219 Doesn't really matter, they're still close decades
Fun fact: in the too cool for you scene where mitchie is singing backup all the girls had to be sewn into their dresses on set.
I’ve never clicked on a video quicker. And yes Amanda…every single scene in this film was the epitome of cool to us elementary school kids 😂
Omg, I just received the notification and instantly starting laughing 😂😂 and I was like this is gonna be good 😂😂😂
Ps. Yes, there are people (not his case) that can do their own harmonies, it's called polyphony, for example Anna Marie Hefele
I looked up Anna Maria Hefele because of this comment and WOW she's incredible!!! Really beautiful and otherworldly music.
Btw high school musical is well known to be way better in regards to storyline and music. Being a fan of both movies when i was 8~10, HSM aged better and has more rewatch from me than camp rock (which i watch just for the memes)
I could care less about any of the movies and shows that AmandaTheJedi reviews but I can’t stop watching 😅 it’s great watching someone be passionate about something
I'll take it
This feels like a bot comment
The song at the end was actually a bonus scene for the dvd. I watched this on Disney Channel all the time, had the CD and knew the song, but I just realized that I have never seen the video before until you mentioned it 😂
Thank you Amanda for leaving in the footage of you trying to sing with two voices. This is a gift unto humanity. I might pass away laughing
"Look,a backflip.." will now be my "well, moving on then..." for the rest of my life.
The women who plays Mitchie’s mother also voices Hawkgirl in the 2001 Justice League cartoon,she was my favorite character when I was a kid.
Holy hell she does!
@@LakinMae5 yeah I was so surprised when I found out but if you really listen to her voice you can definitely tell.
Hello, it's 5:10 GMT and I'm drunk/hungover/haven't slept and I haven't watched your stuff in a while, but for some reason this is exactly what I need so thank you
As a guitar instructor and board member for a rock camp (part of the GRC alliance), I am A) very happy that rock camp was formative/important to you! And B) glad to see someone else losing their mind over how that definitely wasn't a rock camp.
Mitchie didn't win because it was the END of the final jam. Her performance didn't count. And even if it did, Shane participated in it, which wouldn't really be fair for her to win at that.
I was in my later years of highschool when Lemonade Mouth was released and I unironically love that movie. "Livin' on a Highwire" still kicks ass!!
Oh you definitely have to watch The Final Jam for the cult dance it’s right at the very beginning but I haven’t laughed so hard watching something in ages as I did here (the relatable callouts ended me I was obsessed with this movie as a kid) and I would love to see your reaction to the full movie
i cannot emphasize how obsessed i was with this movie as a 10 year old i knew all the songs and dialogue by heart i rewatched it that much but yeah it's not holding up well looking back on it lmaooo i really enjoyed watching you cringe at the questionable decisions in the movie + i absolutely agree with the ranking of the songs you made i think disney probably banked on us kiddos not knowing what actual rock is that's the only reason i can think of that we found this the coolest thing ever
The best gift in this was that 10/10 throwback to Avril's "Happy Ending" now I've gotten spend my night relistening to Under My Skin and relive my primary school Angst
Oh man, Amanda has entered the world of DCOMs 😂
I really liked main song from Camp Rock (Demi/Joe duet), I have seen that movie on Disney channel - there wasn't that "3 months later" scene. Surprisingly I was not that cringed about the movie even I was in my late teens (nineteen). Only thing I was surprised was Demi's character choice of cloths - that shirt was something that old lady would wear (but Demi looked good in it at the end so...). Maybe that is a sign to finally watch second movie 😂
I was a teen when I first watched this movie..the secret to enjoying it is not thinking. You know they put.those scenes in to make the characters look cool so just make yourself think they are cool and enjoy
Also 'this is me' and 'gotta find you' were in my playlist for years, I still stand by that the songs are bangers
Thankkkk you. I’ve seen so many fun break downs of this strange movie but no one touched on how there’s no rock at camp rock.
I think I was a little older than the target demographic but I watched it with my little sister and we both laughed at Joe Jonas during that "hip hop dance class" lmao, mostly this movie introduced me to Demi Lovato who I still think is very talented and like most of her music since then, her first albums were pretty disney girl pop rock but I enjoyed them, and she just put out a rock version album of her most famous songs so everybody wins lol
Lemonade Mouth is a masterpiece.
FACT. I loved it so much even though I wasn’t a teen anymore when I watched it. 😅
As always- thanks for being kind and open minded while offering film critique. That’s kept me coming back for over a year!❤
I think Tess’s plan after finding her song book wasnt to like steal the song or Shane’s attention, I think Tess framed them for stealing the charm bracelet so mitchie would be banned from the final jam and Shane would never find out the girl he heard singing was mitchie (and then Tess would be free to win Shane’s attention and/or the final jam prize)
As a Nickelodeon child who never got to experience these Disney movies when I was a kid it’s great to finally learn what these iconic movies are actually about
29:25
Yes, here in the US, Disney Channel does have commercials.
Hasta La Vista is the only thing I remember from Camp Rock, but it's been stuck in my head ever since childhood. To the point that for years I remembered the song but had no idea it was from Camp Rock.
Was it just me, who thought this movie was a cinematic masterpiece at the time 😂. And veryyy funny and entertaining video Amanda
13:50 unfortunately yes it was SO cool at the time
Amanda saying "Bop" constantly made me think even more of High School Musical. "BOP BOP BOP"
So in my opinion she now owes us that video!
IM SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE "MY HAPPY ENDING" CONNECTION!!! I have to consciously remind myself that the ending doesn't go into that song whenever I think of "This is Me". I don't know which song came first but someone owes someone else some royalties.
Also the awkward extended eye look exists not because it's made for younger audiences but because Demi and the Jonas Brothers were part of like a purity culture that Disney teens had at the time. They had purity rings and shit, it was like a whole deal.
Avril's got it beat by 4 years aha
👏🏼👏🏼 CAMP ROCK!
Oh I am so here for this. I only just recently saw Camp Rock since it was my girlfriend's childhood and it was... interesting. Super excited to see your thoughts!
I love you thank you
Hasta la Vista is the only thing I remember from this movie. Good bop
Ikr! I still find myself singing it from time to time and I'm like... Where is this coming from? I also liked then Nick Jonas song in that movie, solely because it speeds up as it goes. My English wasn't very good back when I was watching these movies so I had very good cheesiness endurance.
That was my jam 😂😂😂
29:48 they played Disney commercials
4:43 she also voices Hawkgirl in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited...
While High School Musical has undoubtedly held up much better, I have to admit I was a major fan of Camp Rock when I was a kid. I even had this Camp Rock satchel bag for a long time. It didn't bother me that it wasn't true rock, because I didn't really have an idea of what that was at that age lol.
I have the fun early gen z experience of camp rocking in elementary school and twilighting in middle school when I was probably too young 😄
I am fairly sure I wasn't in the demographic for either 😂 but I loooooved HSM religiously in high school, I was a musical kid and Camp Rock wasn't "musical theatre enough", so I enjoyed many of the songs but I wasn't never big on the movies. But I kida feel your pain lol I had people constantly recommending Glee to me because I love musical theatre and I spene the best of my youth trying to explain that people singing and musicals are not necessarily the same thing. "But they're singing...you love when people sing... " 🤦🏼♀️😆
Oh please do Lemonade Mouth! I have so much nostalgia for that movie ❤ I seem to remember it being pretty good for Disney Channel movie standards... but that could just be the nostalgia goggles talking.
I know my mom really liked it, so that gives me enough hope that maybe it's actually good (it probably isn't but I am a slave to my own delusions)
@@naplockblubba5369 I mean, in the very least I feel like it had some genuine bops
@@efoxkitsune9493 I still think of "Breakthrough" whenever I see the word
Amanda is such a giver, I couldn't put myself through a rewatch but I'm happy she did for us.
27:10 Amanda, would you say... we're gonna "bop to the top" of the d-com bop meter? 🤭
the JoBros actually played at my middle school before they got big, and people threw their CDs back at them
It is possible to make your voice sound like two voices at once. The singer Diana Ankudinova can do it. She sings in contralto which is already really rare and on top of that shes capable of polyphony which is over lapping voices.
Her singing is stunning!
Idk how I didn’t realize until now that despite the movie being called “Camp Rock”, there’s not a lot of rock songs in it. Lemonade Mouth has more rock music in it than Camp Rock lmao.
Disney KINDA ran commercials. They still blocked out the normal 30 minute increments for shows, and during 'ad breaks', they'd ONLY advertise Disney things. So they'd run a 3 minute music video in one slot, do like 30 seconds of "coming up next/later today", "this friday", etc and run trailers for upcoming specials.
Never really realized Mitchi was such a pick me 😂😂😂
But honestly I got goosebumps from listening to Hasta la Vista, This is me/Gotta be You and We Rock Camp Rock because it hit me with so much nostalgia. I loooved the songs growing up so much 😂😂😂
"She's really gouid" 🤣
I need you to do the sequel, I remember exactly one song from it and I really wanna see your reaction. 😂
Introducing me...?
Really wanna see Amanda react to that!
@@lioba628 That's the one! 🤣
5:00 "whatever the fuck this is" is a minor dance fad from that era. I believe it was called "popping" or "the pop."
Disney has commercial breaks here but it's all promos and trailers for other Disney shows and movies and Disney products
I love camp rock despite having never seen it because I came out on the same day as camp rock! We have the same release dates, june 20th 2008 was a true cultural day
30:03 „wait wait wait… is that in camp rock 2?“
Yes 😂😂😂
what it takes as the very last ranking is outrageous
Oh god I remember seeing ads for this movie back in the day. I think I might've even caught some of it at night once when I fell asleep with Disney Channel on? idk I can't remember, but I remember being annoyed that it was called "Camp Rock" yet it had nothing to do with Rock 'n Roll.
I never watched this movie as my only access to Disney channel was my grandma's house, but whenever I went over the ads for Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam were always playing. Me and my sister still shout, "Camp Rock is the place to be!"
Living for your shirt!
I loved this one as a kid! I can’t believe you haven’t watched it.
Also, where did the 3 months later come from?! I’ve never seen that!
If you're genuinely curious, Disney channel DOES run ads, but exclusively for other Disney channel shows/movies. They would also air interview type segments with the actors, or music videos from the Disney mania albums (where Disney channel stars covered classic Disney movies songs), and similar things. Oh and when a Disney channel star released an album they would air music videos for them too. Or at least this was true from like 2000-2014 when I and then younger family members were watching it.
yeah so in canada they advertise their own shows after an episode ends very briefly, but the episode/movie itself never stops for an ad break.
@@AmandaTheJedi ah okay, so in the US they were the length and regularity you would find on any other channel, with breaks during movies, and so everything begins and ends on an hour or half hour mark.
Amanda rocks that suddenly-very-non-hawaiian shirt. That is the rock right there.
I was not a Camp Rocker. I was well past their target audience age by the time it came out.😜But I love hearing your take on anything, so I loved this!🥰
As someone who was already in highschool when Highschool Musical came out, let alone Camp Rock, immediately every excited to learn the plot of these from you. 😂
