What Parents Need to Know

This review of `We Rock` (CD single) was written by Jacqueline Rupp

Parents need to know that this spirited song about the power of music to help you be who you are is from the Disney movie Camp Rock. In the spirit of High School Musical, the song, music video, and movie are all big, bold, and theatrical -- and very tween friendly. The music video, a montage of the movie's scenes, promotes the movie, with lots of flashy clips and dance numbers.

More on `We Rock` (CD single)

What’s the Story?

Fresh off the soundtrack to the new Disney musical Camp Rock (airing June 2008), "WE ROCK" is a tour de force ensemble song featuring the fabulously popular Jonas Brothers and the movie's star, Demi Lovato. The Cinderella-meets-Fame movie, set of course at a rock camp, is a fun, sentimental movie that incorporates all the successful conventions of High School Musical. "We Rock" does the same musically.

Is It Any Good?

The song doesn't break any new ground lyrically: It's all about having a dream and going for it -- an idea that Disney has almost managed to trademark. But what the song does create is a fun, feel-good moment that's not so easy to forget. And the Jonas Brothers and Lovato play their roles appealingly in both the vocals and the music video. With this much enthusiasm, it's hard not to feel even a little inspired to get out and rock on.

    pick a new star - not demi

    this girl over acts, over smiles and is arrogant. she doesn't want to sing for disney - she wants to be famous. Disney needs to look somewhere else

    AWESOME!

    This song is really good (I prefer "Play My Music") and I can't wait for the movie! I'm a Jonas Bros. Fan!

    Uuuuuugh

    This song is pretty good. The lyrics are good. But the movie isn't going to be. This song's lyrics are great for remixing, good or bad. I DO suggest this (the movie) to other people such as HSM and HSM2 fans and people who like the Jonas Brothers (like me), Demi Lovato (NOT like me), and Alyson Stoner (also like me).
