‘High School Musical 2′ Preview

Tue, 13 March 2007 at 9:49 am

The New York Times featured a fantastic article about the upcoming High School Musical 2: Sing It All or Nothing!. I almost peed in my pants while reading it from all the excitement.

Here are 5 things I learned about High School Musical 2 and its cast:

Dance number “I Don’t Dance” pits Ryan and Chad’s teams against one another. It sets a baseball game to a musical score that fuses elements of hip-hop and swing.

There’s a new song called “Fabulous” has Sharpay and Ryan float around in lounge chairs in a pool and “pass around beach balls in a Busby Berkeley-like sequence.”

Zac wasn’t featured much on the High School Musical soundtrack because his “deep baritone had been deemed an uneasy fit with the rest of the cast” but he’ll be singing own stuff in the new movie and in Hairspray.

Lucas Grabeel’s younger sister, Autumn Grabeel, is Monique Coleman’s personal assistant

And here’s a little synopsis of High School Musical 2: “Sharpay Evans, the rich girl whom audiences loved to hate in the original movie, is on a campaign to woo Troy, the basketball coach’s son, away from Gabriella. The setting is a luxurious country club owned by Sharpay’s father, where Troy, Gabriella and their East High classmates have all landed summer jobs. Instead of a school musical, the source of conflict (and more than a few songs) is the club’s annual talent show, and Sharpay is scheming to get Troy to perform a duet.”

And one Zac Efron quote had a little OUCH factor, which stuck out to me: “Personally, I feel no competition with the cast because I’m not going for the same things they are. A lot of them are doing teen music things, and tours, various TV deals and other Disney TV movies and Disney albums. That’s the last thing I want to be doing at the moment. I’m setting my sights a little bit higher.”

High School Musical 2 is set for an August 17 release.

Pictured: Zac Efron is Troy Bolton, Vanessa Anne Hudgens is Gabriella Montez, Ashley Tisdale is Sharpay Evans, Lucas Grabeel is Ryan Events, Corbin Bleu is Chad Danforth, and Monique Coleman is Taylor McKessie.

Plus, theres always going to be some people hating a movie and some loving it, so its just own our individual opinions.

I think everyone’s taking Zac’s comment the wrong way.
I think he’s just trying to say that he doesn’t want to go the way everyone else is going.
“Personally, I feel no competition with the cast because I’m not going for the same things they are.”
He’s not criticising them, he’s just saying that he can’t compare himself with them when he’s not doing the same thing - it’s like comparing Star Wars and Ice Cream.

He just wants to get out of the Disney phase and do his own thing.
For want of a better, less clichéd phrase, he’s breaking free.

Don’t jump to conclusions about people. Read other stuff he’s said, and your opinions will be changed. From every other quote from him or about him, he’s portrayed to be a sweet, friendly, funny guy.

To all of your zac haters. u just jealous dat you aint good lookin! Zac Efron is really hot and no one can prove that he’s not. I hate people that say that Zac Efron is ignorant because the one who is ignorant is them. so **** you if you do’n like him. Beat it and get out of this website.

So wot if Zac said that. It doesnt make him a bad person he just chose the wrong words to express how he feels. Who cares if he has set his standards high. I say good look to ya Zac. I love all ya work and think you are a brilliant actor and singer.

ZAC EFRON IS SOOOO GORGEOUS!!!!

I don’t care about Zac Efron i’m excited to see the song between Ryan and Chad, because i believe hat the most talent in HSM lies in Corbin Bleu! Hes an actor, singer, and dancer; also hes hot!

Some people have different beliefs on this subject some say he’s gay some people thanks he’s hot but you are taking a small quote and turning it in to a big argument if everyone was like the stars then everyone would be on the internet for saying something that was misinterpreted I think everyone needs to take a chill pill and give him a break I bet you if you where to go up to the cast of high school musical 1 and 2 they would say they understand what he meant but you are going by words that you read and from a magazine that probably lies about a lot of stuff and not getting it from the source so next time you dog someone for saying something thank about what you have said in the past that has been taken the wrong way and then put yourself in Zac position and then come back are complain about it and see how many people will care what happen all we care about is what stars do and not what normal people do. Some people want to go see Hairspray because they heard is was good. I am sorry if this harsh and you can hate me all you want but it is the truth I will even give you my email address if you want to respond and give me your response to this post it could good or bad.

Astonishing, although I love zac efron. But who does he think he is.. it’s true.. he can’t even really sing(but in hsm2 he is singing everything and i heard what time is it?, one of the songs and he sounds amazing but still) and i am surprised that I am saying this but im sorry its true I am really surprised with these choice of words but i am ticked off. This is hurtful and is like insulting the rest of the hsm cast.. but honestly without zac and even if they thought about replacing zac hsm would never be the same. he is the life of it… and i still love him and think he rocks but yeah wow… this really surprised me… i guess thats how he feels….but i still love zac efron.. he is like the best!!!!!
