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.
Positive messages:Typical teen talk about relationships, strong feelings, and going out: "When you ignore me I just lose my mind"and "You're like my first bad habit/I can't live without it/I can't give you up.../I can't say enough is enough"
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.
Sexual Content: Iffy. A few of the songs are mildly suggestive; "That she's ready to dance right upon you" ect. Violence: Not an issue. Language: One use of hell. Social Behaviour: Great role model and terrific messages portrayed throughout the albums 12 tracks. Commercialism: Not an issue. Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco: Not an issue.
Identified On for 12+
The album is a nice grown up pop album to jam to this summer.
FAVES: Identified, Hook It Up, Don't Ask Why, Amazed, Don't Leave
BUY IT!!!
There is a problem with h word. Um Vanessa is a strong good role model for younger girls like me. She is awesome and I love her. She is a good role model cuz she shows that girls can do anything. I think that Never Underestimate A Girl from one of her albums is another way she shows that fact.
Vanessa took some inappropriate pictures a long time ago which is why I still will never listen to her music or watch a movie that includes her in it. Vanessa is a TERRIBLE role model...worse than anything Miley Cyrus has done so far
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.
