But What I Really Wanna Do Is Sing

This ones for all your closet tweens, like us.

Drake Bell wants to be the next Zac Efron!

The Nickelodeon star is trying to his hand at "rocker." Bell got his groove on at his tour stop at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel.

That's a big venue!

Doesn't he look dapper?

Drakey can ring our bell anytime! (He's 21, bitches.)

    if he wants to be zac efron he needs to catch up on the highlights and make up.

  21. Erin says – reply to this


    21

    Yeah, he's been out there before Zac…not to mention, Zac didn't do much of his own singing for the first High School Musical.

    25

    WATCH THIS GUY! He is a real talent, you cant help but not notice him, he can do it all. I discovered him by watching episodes of Drake & Josh with my son on Nicelodeon. He strirred up my interest so i googled him, he has alot to offer I hope he makes it, hes brilliant WATCH HIM RISE!!!

  26. ayelen says – reply to this


    26

    He's actually been out and singing for a long time. he's pretty good.

  27. barbara says – reply to this


    27

    PEREZ NOOOOO!
    ugh this is disappointing. hes been singing for years!
    waaaaaay before zac ever came onto the scene.
    please do a little background before you post.
    you tend to do this perezito. (or whoever's ghostwriting)

    34

    whoa whoa whoa perez. i love the efron, he is quite pretty and all. but drake has been a tween star far longer and although i am past the tween age of enjoying either of these delicious boys works i don't see how he'd be the "next" zac efron..zac would be the next drake bell (who wrote the song for drake and josh and has two nice cheesy pop albums). ok thats enough embarressing myself of drake and josh or more so drake bell knowledge.

  35. Ariel says – reply to this


    35

    Unlike Zac Efron, Drake actually has musical talent. But too bad most people at his show were there to see Aly & AJ and not him.

  36. kellayy says – reply to this


    36

    ahh I LOVE DRAKE BELL

  37. I says – reply to this


    37

    i met drake like a year ago.
    he was so nice.
    and he had just played a gig in orlando.
    i was in my pajamas.
    he was amazing.
    he took a picture with me and made sure it turned out perfect.
    this is how all celebs should be.
    KIND

  38. ROTTEN APPLE says – reply to this


    38

    Ummmmm - what? What does "trying to his hand at “rocker.” mean? or what about "Drakey can ring out bell anytime" Do you really mean "Drakey can ring OUR bell anytime? Smoking crack just a little???? LOL Get it together man!! You're not my hero for bad grammer or misspellings but geeeeezzzzz!!

  39. Laurel says – reply to this


    39

    i have nothing against gay people but i wonder if he knows he likes to be fucked in the ass LOL!!!

  40. vix says – reply to this


    40

    um…drake has put out 2 different cds, way before zac efron was even in High school musical..so…isnt that the other way around?

  41. isabella says – reply to this


    41

    Drake Bell is amazing. I actually saw him on tour on July 13th.
    FYI Drakes been singing for years and has 2 albums out

  42. PwnZore says – reply to this


    42

    he has been doing music for a long time. it was a huge part of his show when he started it and nickelodeon has been promoting his music for years. unfortunately for drake, his music career has always sucked and with all the publicity from nickelodeon, you would expect that he would have success similar to Miley Cyrus who, by the way, hasnt been on TV nearly as long as drake and is already a star.

    I love Drake! He was hilarious on Amanda Show and is great on Drake and Josh. (I do like the theme song, and I'm not in my tweens or teens- lol).
    Talented guy, IMO. Good luck to him- and I'm sure those little girls will make him an very, very rich man.

    Rock on Drake!

  57. joe says – reply to this

    he is bee-yoooo-tiful.

  58. Marg says – reply to this


    58

    Just to point out, he has always been singing. He sings the themesong on his TV show and hes had a CD out for a while. Hes not just now going from actor to singer.

  59. Lauren says – reply to this


    59

    He's a pretty established musician, I'm pretty sure.

    As long as I can remember seeing him on Nickelodeon (save the Amanda show, and that was a pretty small role) he talked about loving to play guitar and whatnot. I doubt he'll get much of any where, as these things go, but I wish him the best of luck.

    drake's a really talented guy
    and he's been doing music long before zac ever did
    i went to drake's show the other week
    and it was truly awesome set
    all live, no tricks
    which was refreshing

  62. Julie says – reply to this


    62

    He's been singing and performing forever. What do you mean he's turning into Zac Efron? Zac Efron wants to be Drake!

  63. trish says – reply to this


    63

    he is so hot!!!! and he's actually a better singer then zac efron, and he's been at it for a lot longer! i'd let him have at me!!

  64. Tanya says – reply to this


    64

    More like the next one to featured with a "white" bugger inside of his nose. Go ahead, dig a little, and you'll find out.

  65. jelli says – reply to this


    65

    He and Josh are both cutie pants!!! (my 2 year old daughter loves "shosh") I hope he does well…

    now, if you could only dig up those pictures of him smoking the ganja perez, and we'd have a real interesting post.

  67. Erin says – reply to this


    67

    he needs a tad bit more foundation to pull of the Efron look

  68. adrian says – reply to this


    68

    We love Drake & Josh in my house! Great show–seriouly, he almost got killed about 1 1/2 years ago–someone ran a stop sign & crashed into him–broke his jaw, & gave him a face full of stiches!

  69. Kelly says – reply to this


    69

    He's 21? Awesome! Now I don't feel so bad about the crush I have on him! Though the fact that I watch Drake and Josh is still a little sad.

  70. jonathan says – reply to this

    They usually put ad's for the upcoming shows at PNC at all the NJ Parkway Tolls. I didn't see a single mention of this. And it's a big venue…but half of it is a field. There aren't as many seats to fill. Did he fill 'em? I can't imagine people on the grass for this.

  92. katie21500 says – reply to this


    92

    um i went to high school with this guy. he is soooooooo freakin lame!!!!!!!!! he would come in with his leather jacket and guitar like he owned the place and he was the shit!!!!! and he wasn't even famous yet but he literally acted like he was freakin god. i would just point my finger and laugh all day and call him a fag. everytime i see him on tv or whatever i just laugh. its funny…hes just such a gay gay gay fag. ps. i have no problem with gay people, i was just making a point. DRAKE LIKES FAT DICK!!!!!!!

  93. mammakate3 says – reply to this


    93

    i watch drake and josh with my three children.(you should watch shows with your kids becuase you never know when something innapropriate such as erectile dysfunction commercials come up even though i already explain everything to them. anyway this show is funny,well written and everyone on this show has talent including drake! he CAN SING and WRITE very well plus he is very charming and to mention my 10 year old daughter's comment "mom he is a hottie". i enjoy the show becuase i feel drake & josh have the honeymooner comedy & comedic timing down perfectly.

  94. Xochitl says – reply to this


    94

    Drake's been singing for years. He's actually really good. I saw him in concert about 2 weeks ago, and the one thing he lacks is real stage presence. I also found it strange when videos of the Nazi's started playing during one his songs.

  95. point my finger and just laugh says – reply to this


    95

    #97 There is no way you went to H.S w/ Drake Bell .
    How old are you ? From your post , you do not sound a day over 12 .

    Saw him in concert this past Tuesday. He is actually very talented & as an adult I was impressed…

  97. LeeT says – reply to this


    97

    For Nicolette: it was a venue w/Aly & AJ, Corbin Bleu, & Drake Bell all together

    98

    He's actually been a musician for some time, and he's not bad at all. My wife and I got hooked on Drake & Josh through our daughter, but after reading about Bell's influences (Beatles, Kinks, etc…) we gave his first album a listen. It wasn't bad at all, and there's quite a bit on the new one that proves he's not just dabbling in music like so many other Hollywood flakes.

    he will never be zac efron he is too cute to be him and too talented. zac efron is fugly
