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.)

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!!!

K says – reply to this

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.
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.

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!!

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?
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
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.

I am a 37 year old mother of a 12 year old and I watch Drake and Josh. I think Drake is so talented and I hope he has a long career. I love watching it with my son it makes me feel young!
Rock on Drake!

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.
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.

which was refreshing
Julie says – reply to this

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

adrian says – reply to this

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!
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.

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

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!!!!!!!
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.
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.

#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…
LeeT says – reply to this

97

For Nicolette: it was a venue w/Aly & AJ, Corbin Bleu, & Drake Bell all together
ck says – reply to this

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.
Lindsay says – reply to this

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