I say no more dubbing actors' singing in musicals. From now on they should all just pull a Mamma Mia and own that 'yeah our actors aren't the strongest vocalists, but look how much fun they're having!' Edit: ok guys I never said they can't hire good singers! And 'not the strongest' doesn't equal 'totally awful', I'm just saying that if they hire an actor for a role they should use that person's voice, and in some of the more camp/goofy movies, it can add to the fun if the actors aren't all completely flawless singers. That said, my comment was a JOKE and I actually have no say in how they cast musicals

I thought everyone in mamma Mia were great singers. Who do you think wasn't?

[@rebeccadodd1394]

@@bodyhairpositive9485 Don't get me wrong, they all did a much better job than I could, but most of them wouldn't really be considered 'singers' outside the movie.

Like I said though, this is just my opinion, I have no real qualifications for judging them technically

[@liv97497]

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they were all pretty much drunk the entire time😂 but I actually kinda like that they're not all singers - even though personally I think Amanda's voice is (and was, even then) to die for!

[@gracehaven5459]

Damn that's a nice school 🏫😆

[@mariannecontrino6297]

Ok, so this is kinda long, but so perfect for this video. Anyway, I was teaching at a high school a couple of years after this came out, and had a student who looked a lot like Zac Efron, haircut and all, who was "the playmaker" on the basketball team, but wanted to, you guessed it, be in the school's musical. He told me this movie inspired him to quit basketball, and tryout for the production, but he was afraid to tell his dad. So EVERYDAY before, AND after school, during lunch, during my prep, basically any free moment I had, he would come to my room so we could role play him telling his dad, for almost a month straight. He even wrote out a script, which I still have somewhere. Finally, after HOURS of rehearsing, he felt ready to confront his father. So, he asked his dad to meet him in my room one day after class, so I could "give him moral support", and "alm his dad down", because he was gonna "lose his mind". Here's how it actually played out. Son: "Dad, I love you, and I know YOU want ME to be an amazing basketball player like YOU were, because YOU want ME to follow my dreams..but those AREN'T MY dreams, they're YOURS!! I know YOU want ME to be a star on the court, and I am, but that is NOT where I shine the brightest. That is NOT where MY passion lies, no dad, it lives on the stage. Athletes were YOUR people, but they're not MINE!! Mine don't know how to dribble, they know how to SING." Dad: "So, what are you saying?" Son: "I'm saying I want to quit basketball, and be in the school play. Now I know that may hurt you, but if you truly lov......" Dad:"Oh. Ok. Whatever. Take the bus home after school, cuz I gotta work late." That was it, all that time preparing, and stressing led to pretty much nothing. I still laugh when I think about it now. Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes he did try out for the musical, but no he did not make it, because unlike Troy, he actually wasn't a very good singer. Now I teach at a performing arts high school in the city, which is way more like "Fame" than "High School Musical", complete with nonstop overreactions, and an alarming amount of "spontaneous" lunchroom choreography, but I couldn't be happier. This clip breakdown reminded me yet again how much I miss being in the classroom. Love these videos.

I remember that movie

[@Whiskin87]

I graduated high school in 2006, so I just missed this movie. The ‘06 nostalgia is real, I can’t believe I’ve never seen it! It’s absolutely ridiculous, but at the same time, I can see why it’s iconic.

"are you talking about my parasitic twin?" oh my GOD I yelled so loud

[@martinwithani]

After watching Nick's breakdown three times, I finally, at the age of 33, watched High School Musical... Thank you for bringing this into my life 🤣

[@HamiGirl1]

10:50 that line from the teacher that gabriella corrects early on is so weird like "oh that's quite impossible" ??? students catch teacher mistakes all the time, who does she think she is LOL

[@julci4964]

I had a super bitchy chemistry teacher in high school who would do the same thing xd

[@tempbauer2131]

BEFORE cell phones just popping by someone’s house was a thing NOW it’s legit unreasonable

[@lynnellbailey235]

It would be a TRAVESTY it we didn’t get a comparison to High School Musical:The Musical The Series. Also, The Cheetah Girls.

[@CovertCrow]

Omg the cheetah girls was my favorite!

[@CherryBlossomBlyue]

This!

[@ali.bibbles]

high school musical invented the crazy hat party... better luck next time icarly.

You’ve got to take that command hook off the wall. It’s driving me nuts.

When you talk about the division of the groups- I was in middle school when this came out and this movie, (and many others) made me think there were actually going to be cliques and that I would be like, absorbed into a specific social group and there would be no mystery or social navigation to do on my own, and honestly as a 14 year old I was deeply disappointed to find out this was not a real thing in my high school and I had to make friends on my own. There were friend groups sure but no one was nicely divided by their interests, and it totally put a damper on the “not like other girls” vibe I was trying so hard to pull off PS: binging your videos, they’ve made my weekend!

I would LOVE to sit down with Nick, buy him a coffee, and hear what he has to say about the Swoop/Mykie fallout. I really love his commentary on racial and sexual orientation inequalities in our society...especially how it’s delivered in a serious, but comedic way...it’s a very valuable skill.

[@averyeml]

I was absolutely OBSESSED with these movies as a kid, but it died out as suddenly as it swept in because I never saw the 3rd one in theaters. I moved not long before the 2nd one came out and was heartbroken when I found out we wouldn’t have cable installed in time for the premiere. So my mom was amazing and got me the soundtrack and I knew every song forwards and backwards before I ever saw it 😂

[@repressingitall]

That girl really just sliced that boy's eye with her hair at 41:00 😭

[@vannahlowe306]

Since day one my whole room was high school musical theme, my clothing was only high school musical and the only toys I play was high school musical themed. Yes I still have the Wii sing-along

[@Funkyfreak1girl]

YES that Sharpay and Ryan version is the superior version

[@DeathnoteBB]

Okay but when HSM came out Gabriella’s solo was a bop. Also it still is. Then again I probably had undiagnosed depression at the time so it probably spoke to me a little too well

[@kerstinnilsson9968]

Ok but that snap transition showing the different merch design was so fluid and savage

[@nikkijadesola23]

Fun fact: drew seeley sang all of zac’s songs cuz none of them were written in his key! But they wrote the songs for the second and third in zac’s key Edit: I knew every step to “status quo” 😅

[@meghansullivan6812]

OH is that the reason?? I remember hearing that it was because his voice was like changing/going through puberty shit at the time ahahahah

[@DavidKen878]

@@meghansullivan6812 That's not the reason. Why would they write songs that the main character can't sing?

[@meghansullivan6812]

@@DavidKen878 no clue, maybe they wanted the look of zac?? it doesnt make any sense to me haha

[@DavidKen878]

@@meghansullivan6812 Yeah, they do it all the time in movies and TV shows. If the person that cast can't sing, they'll just hire someone to sing for them. They did the same thing with Stuck in the Suburbs.

[@sonnyraineoc]

I need a Nick's HSM storytime

[@mrsmcintyre69]

Same

[@anangoohns]

"Maybe stay off my balcony unless I invite you next time, colonizer" absolutely sent me

[@acausedes]

LET'S ALL SIT IN THIS DODGE WHATEVER AND THINK ABOUT HOW GAY NICOLAS IS NOW IM SCREEAMING nick your so funny how do you do it

[@Boultbeeable]

"But it looks like Gabriella had to take a bong rip off camera just to get through it" mmHmmn good singing 👌🏼 I'm honestly crying with laughter, I love you so much 😂 The best channel I stumbled upon this year without a doubt. You absolutely kill me 😭😂
