[@aliciabell6688]

Amanda sweetie, I love to hear you sing. 😊

[@marvelsProtege]

I like Twilight too but I'm a 40+-year-old dude

[@lysblack]

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 😂

[@karrihart1]

Probably because Disney would've had to pay her more if she actually played those instruments.

[@doll_dress_swap1269]

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.

That's true, though. Other women's opinion will always matter more to us.

I am gay and put up with dude's being jerks growing up so I could fit in better. Different perspectives I guess!

thats so funny because as soon as that question was asked my immediate thought was "maybe mitchie is gay for tess"

[@tesstucker3311]

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

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

[@winxclubfairiesrule1]

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

[@emilytretyak2534]

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.

[@pseudonymous9153]

And Frankie was like "I'm not gonna go and sit in a waiting room, you guys have fun."

[@rkah6187]

Sorry, I just love how you remember the name of Chip from Beauty and the Beast but not Gavroche from Les Mis :D

[@ririenko]

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"

[@SolRearte5]

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

[@beatrizreny5228]

[@brandoncolon1160]

Im curious to know more about amandas band life

[@lulusketches]

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.

[@Lex_brooke]

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

[@bhargavipba]

Professional hip hop dancer and also a really good singer!

[@marissawilson4644]

Alison literally danced for Missy Elliott. She's so iconic!!

[@juvenileanomie357]

"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.

[@Murder.Of.Crows.]

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.

[@trinaq]

Caitlyn does a dance routine, complete with erratic arm movements, and Mitchie says in complete seriousness, "She's really good!"

[@trinaq]

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!

[@0ash24]

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

[@nataliaivonica3488]

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

[@Shalalacls]

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 KZbin years later

[@Annie_Annie__]

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.

[@crakandra9672]

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.

[@PsychoChapp]

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" 😂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

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.

@@Jaclyn_Lizzi Google is not remotely correct about my age aha.

[@Charsy8]

@@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.

[@nicole-ls2zb]

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!

[@SilentProti]

also, wasn't Nick scouted by talents agency as a child and record christian songs?

[@_ainyy]

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. :)

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

[@tmntaddict]

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.

[@fulcrum6760]

Btw Amanda, that Oscar Parasite guy tried to clap back at you in your Parasite video…recently. Like three years late to the party.

[@ellieactive5105]

as a Jonas Brothers fan since 2007 i unfortunately loved this movie 😂😭 Joe still sometimes plays Gotta Find You live which is iconic behaviour tbh

[@Jena_McLean]

the fact you missed out on “play my music” until now??? Criminal

[@loganbigmo]

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.

[@alingus]

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!

[@leximillerd5537]

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

[@lyssadee3832]

[@mikaylasirovatka8910]

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.

[@Tabby112]

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. 😂

[@15Candles]

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

[@paulinapatyk2622]

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.

[@pyrosianheir]

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.

[@kelseykrehbiel8500]

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.

[@yuyu2007]

Same here! I was in college when it came out and I definitely watched it several times.

[@dontrelate465]

😂 “This is why you’re the host of Claim to Fame !” Frankie is unironically becoming my favorite Jonas brother, and this is coming from the girl who had all their posters and CDs growing up.

[@bouchrafakher]

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)

[@RB-vo4gi]

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.

[@izzywoods794]

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

[@15Candles]

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

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 just finished listening to what should've been her 2010s follow-up album West Coast Time and it sounded like we were robbed of hearing her natural evolution into a music vet. I then listened to her most recent album which is pretty good. Imo, talent means nothing to have a successful career if you don't have just as strong of a management team. Taylor should bless her lucky stars she has one. Especially since she herself idolized Michelle Branch, owning a blue guitar because of her and even covering All You Wanted at Michelle's birthstate of Arizona!

OH SHIT IT DOES ALL SOUND LIKE THAT SONG. Probably why I enjoy it so much

[@frostfang1]

I was more of a Vanessa Carlton fan myself. But also loved Fefe Dobson and feel kinda validated in how much I loved do many "one album wonders" when I found out she moved into more behind the scenes music production.

Oh I miss the pop singer-songwriter girls of the 2000s... I played that Michelle Branch album over and over (except it was actually just the Everywhere single because I could only afford singles)

Living for your shirt!

I like how the one henchmen who talked about the lip gloss immediately went and joined up with the "Hasta la Vista" guys to perform in the Final Jam. Like you've been henching this whole movie, when did you possibly have time to practice an entire other act? Or are we expected to believe she just joined up the moment after dropping Tess? Because that's a pretty hard sell.

I don't think I've seen you cover Julie and the Phantoms. If you ever feel like another detour into musical series, you should take a look. It's pretty entertaining.

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!

[@tawnyew]

Amanda is such a giver, I couldn't put myself through a rewatch but I'm happy she did for us.

[@icedcanadiano]

can't wait for the camp rock 2 video! :)

[@awkward_gravity]

This was hilarious, boosted my mood which was exactly the motivation I needed. Lol. Love it.

[@trycethomas939]

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.

[@videohistory722]

I think you missed the point of why This Dude kept saying "Until the end of Final Jam." She was disqualified from competing because of the alleged charm bracelet theft. However theres apparently nothing in the rules that say she can't perform just to perform.

[@JOANAS30]

We now need a Camp Rock 2 react from Amanda 😁

[@AC8X]

the JoBros actually played at my middle school before they got big, and people threw their CDs back at them

[@atleastimnotginger]

THATS WHERE THE "SHES REALLY GOOD" SOUND COMES FROM? SORRY?

[@sjmmahoney]

THIS SHIRT ON YOU IS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YES YES YES

[@ComicDrake]

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!

[@AmandaTheJedi]

I love you thank you

The Jonas' weren't actually *that* well-to-do initially, they were primarily relying on their Dad's income as minister of a church, their home was what the church provided. At 6 y/o, Nick was at a hair salon with his Mother and a lady there heard him sing, she recommended he audition on Broadway. They were given the details of a manager and Nick was cast in a few roles, but in the background they were always making music together at home, with their Dad. They started performing at first in malls and highschool events, they weren't always paid, so they travelled/lived out of a small camper with their Dad as manager. When their Dad's strict church discovered they weren't making tame, choir boy/Christian music, but were singing more modern, pop tunes about girls, the church disapproved. Eventually, their Dad was asked to step down as minister, they lost their home and had to move somewhere very cramped where they couldn't afford rent. At one point, as teens, there were the 3 boys and their younger bro in one bedroom. However, once they got noticed by Disney, things started getting better for them quickly.

This is the hope that we get a Camp Rock 2 video since I preferred that one much more anyway.
