I'm sorry, it's just really bugging me.


in camp rock kevin's character never knew what was going on until the end, when he asked shane if he had found the singer girl yet.

Everyone can read sheet music

59) When acoustically performing for the girl of his dreams, the male lead can harmonize with himself.

reply

60. The mean girl (and follower(s) perform with the rest of the group at the end, then go back to being mean in the next movie.

reply

To taylerluvsu: it is just assumed that everyone can read sheet music at a music camp, though such a generalization may not always be the case...plus, it was more of a reference to Troy in HSM, who's only sung "in the shower" prior to the movie, and to the song he first sung along with Gabs and Kelsi.

61. Not all black people dance...while dancing.

reply

HAHAHAHA!!

Whoever will gossip to you will gossip about you.

reply

I know.

Asian kids always seem to have the dumb roles in movies when they're not.

It's not bad, some can actually sing. But it's a typical Disney movie where "I have to choose between being who I am or I can just pretend to be someone else and everyone will like me, YAY!"

And the main male character is always 'trying to find himself'.

reply

Yup, there's always the stereotypical "Dumb China." Even in Hannah Montana there's Ashley (seems Anna Maria loves to portray the role of a spaz).

Marissa was The O.C. Hope you learned your *beep* lesson, Schwartz.

78. Why do people wait for somebody to stop singing before they try to find where the sound is coming from? (ex. Mitchie singing This is Me in the mess hall)

reply

79. There's always a HAPPY ENDING !!

reply

note to #78 he had to wait for all the girls to leave, by the time they did, so had Mitchie...

reply

*Something I find extremely ridiculous about Camp Rock. Tess had an apparent liking/crush on Shane right and she was willing to have Mitchie excluded from Final Jam just so that Shane wouldn't know Mitchie was the "voice" YET Tess NEVER said a single word to Shane. Throughout the whole movie, Tess and Shane never speak to each other and at times he's like right next to her (in the Pajama Jam scene for example or during the Dance class).

reply

80. class is only 5 minutes long( in HSM the first class after winter break with ms darbus).

81. nobody can lip-synch let alone sing

reply

80. class is only 5 minutes long( in HSM the first class after winter break with ms darbus).

that's just home room/form time. you know, you go to it every morning and the teacher checks attendance etc.





.Minnie is the Audrey Hepburn of Disney shes been wearin black flats nd polka dots since the 1930s.

reply

Uh..........no....None of the schools in this area do that.......

Dear me! What is that unpleasant aroma? I fear the sewer may have backed up during the night.

reply

What's even more ridiculous is that Shane didn't know that the "voice" was Mitchie. She said she's never sung in front of him before so how would he know? In the last scene when they sing Camp Rock, the coreography has them both next to each other and screaming in each others faces the whole tim so please tell me how Shane didn't know what Mitchie's voice was like???...

reply

The final scene was meant to just be a jam session, so while in reality it was obviously choreographed and rehearsed, for the purposes of the movie it was supposed to be spontaneous so Shane would not have heard her sing before final jam.

reply

note to the note about #78

Sure he had to wait, but just the way he acted during the whole thing got me
he never tried to raise up he just looked over his shoulders with a pained and confused look. I would have tried to get up and then scrunched back down when I thought one of them might have seen me.

82. (addition to #78) what are the odds of a famous singer that has the power to make you a star falling in the bushes right outside of where you are singing? its like David Ortiz just happens to pop by your high school baseball game to see you hit a homerun. It ain't happenin'
