This is a great album for teens. Depending on parents' rules, this will most likely be okay for kids, too. However, the song "Hook It Up" uses "hell" in a rap by Rock Mafia.

What Parents Need to Know
About Identified
Parents need to know that this album from Disney Channel's High School Musical sweetheart is fine for kids. The more mature sound for Hudgens -- a little bit of hip-hop is thrown in with her usual bubblegum pop -- blends with typical teen talk about relationships, feelings, and getting your groove on on the dance floor.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the popularity of Vanessa Hudgens due to the immense success of High School Musical. Do you think people are more likely to buy her album because of she made it big on the small screen? How do you feel about the growing trend of teen singers/actors like Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, or Raven-Symone? Do these people have real talent to warrant their success, or are they simply riding on the coattails of popularity that they've garnered from their successful movies/TV shows?

Three Words: Ter I Ble
Read my headline and thats all I gotta say. It's fine for kids my age and it's fine for kids who are 9 but it's not a very good CD.

Bland enough to keep Mickey Happy
I think it's funny how Disney closes their eyes when Miley or Vanessa take a nude picture. Just like in this CD, it seems that the Disney police are breathing down her neck to keep it appropriate. THey don't want her turning into a Pussycat Doll (sick, super-model bikini wearing screamers) so they let her slip some content in there to target an older crowd, but its still bland enough for Disney.
