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.

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"

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.

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

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

"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.

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

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.

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.

i was not ready for the heeeEEEHHHHH 16:57 i spat out my drink thank u amanda

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

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

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" 😂

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.

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!

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 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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

That blue/green tint when Amanda mentionee Twilight had me cackling! 10/10 editing moment! 😂

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'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

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. 😂

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.

😂 “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.

Oh man, Amanda has entered the world of DCOMs 😂

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 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.

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.

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 😂

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!

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.

6:49 “we used to be a proper society, and now we’re just luxury rustics” absolutely took me out, thank you

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.

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 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

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

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

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 😂

Was it just me, who thought this movie was a cinematic masterpiece at the time 😂. And veryyy funny and entertaining video Amanda

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

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

Lemonade Mouth is a masterpiece. FACT. I loved it so much even though I wasn’t a teen anymore when I watched it. 😅

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!

Hasta la Vista is the only thing I remember from this movie. Good bop

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

as an elder zoomer who grew up without cabel/the disney channel, I feel validated. thanks for making me feel better about not knowing any DCOMs

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.

👏🏼👏🏼 CAMP ROCK!

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 in my later years of highschool when Lemonade Mouth was released and I unironically love that movie. "Livin' on a Highwire" still kicks ass!!

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.

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.

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.

"She's really gouid" 🤣

Fun fact: a person CAN sing two notes at once! It’s called overtone singing, it’s unbelievably difficult, and it also sounds way cooler than Shane Gray harmonizing with himself!

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.

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

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.

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 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... " 🤦🏼‍♀️😆

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 😄

Fun fact, the mom also voiced Hawkgirl in the Justice League cartoons

It just feels like a movie that was made at gunpoint which is exemplified by Demi’s terrifying forced smiles. Leave it to Amanda to make me finally realize why I actually like that damn duet Demi and Joe sing at the end. IT’S BECAUSE THEY RIPPED OFF AVRIL!!! 😤

I prefer camp rock 2 for the music but this movie is still iconic in my head even if it's cringe af

THIS SHIRT ON YOU IS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YES YES YES

“This is rich, but apparently you’re not” would fit right in the Burn Book, honestly

As always- thanks for being kind and open minded while offering film critique. That’s kept me coming back for over a year!❤

Amanda rocks that suddenly-very-non-hawaiian shirt. That is the rock right there.

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 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)

Firstly, Joe tore that fuckin dance floor up. Im 27 and couldnt move like that now, secondly I never noticed the back up vocals in this is me before i was such a dumb kid

Ugh, this is giving me such a massive flashback to my 16 year old self. I remember solely loving this movie because I had a thing for Demi, but looking back... I can't stop cringing at every little thing about this movie. Lol

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

Just saying: High school and college music students should do the "Camp Rock" forest march unironically.

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.

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.

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

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. 😂

"BTW, Your Lip gloss is SO not Not GLOSSY anymore!" That reminded of Lindsey's verbal attack on Heather in Total Drama Island...

the way i’ve been watching camp rock meme videos all afternoon???? we’re meant to be amanda 😙💕

When Amanda realizes Disney stole the entire concept and plot from CAMP, but made it worse 🫣 its definitely called Camp Rock so they didn't get hit with copywrite.

We now need a Camp Rock 2 react from Amanda 😁

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.

I come here so you can tell me about something I have no intention of ever watching while I weave in yarn ends on a knitting project. You're describing the heck out of a movie I will definitely never watch. These ends are mad woven in today. We're doing such great work.

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

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!🥰

I almost knocked myself out when I was little doing that damn camp rock air guitar move. This movie was my ish!

Can't wait for the Camp Rock 2 review 😂😂

I WAS totally wondering both of those things, and love that I wasn't left wondering
