Jumping on the Bandwagon

Nickelodeon doesn't want Disney to have all the high school fun….or money!

On April 21st, Nick will kick off filming Spectacular — their answer to the Mouse's High School Musical.

Are rip-offs ever as good as the original???

Spectacular centers on a preppy high school girl who is part of the school's Spectacular choir. The group is in sad shape, with its most talented members either having graduated or been stolen away by a rival squad. The preppy sees salvation in a cocky rock guy who reluctantly joins the choir to win a money prize that would finance his rock 'n' roll dreams. But the rocker doesn't factor in falling for the preppy girl.

Hmmmm….

If it's more like Mean Girls meets Bring It On and less like HSM, then we'd be very interested to see it!

Nick's people are also making it a point to say the songs in Spectacular will be performance-based rather than featuring characters suddenly breaking out into song like they do in High School Musical.

Whatever… it's still a knock off!

We're not so sure about this. It better be damn good to get over the knock off vibe.

Plus, Nick doesn't have the Zefron!

      Isn't that the same plot as the 'Will & Grace' episode with Matt Damon and the choir?

      Do you have the GUTS to quote what MADONNA says in Vanity Fair about people like you, Perez? Your CRUELTY? You can act smarmy and sweet, Perez, but you're sadistic. Step up to the plate.

      Hey Perez,
      Im from Orem, Utah (45 minutes south of SLC) and the other day my friend who works at California Pizza Kitchen told me that Ashley Tisdale and Vannessa Hudgens came in around closing time. A group of guys were sitting at the table next to them and were trying to flirt with them. They asked vannessa if she was still "dating the zack efron guy", and she told them No! Also Ashleys boyfriend is from Spainsh Fork Utah and is in a dance company there. Just thought you would find this amuzing maybe! Your blog is fun to read, I check it multiple times a day. Keep it clean! Love Jacqueline

      It'd be exciting if they brought teen pregnancy into the movie. Jamie Lynn comes out into a song and then the baby pops out singing too!

      How odd that earlier today I was reading about Zac's ex Sugar Daddy and lo and behold… here is a pic of the beautiful boy himself. Still want someone to post pics of the hunk known as BDJT! I doubt if he really exists. I know the Zac and his sugar daddy did…. I saw the two out at this cute indian restaurant in Beverly Hills once….

      Guess I missed something. Who or what is Zacquisha? Is it not Zanessa anymore?

    48. Ummmm-hmm says – reply to this


      48

      WTH Perez?? You're a grown ass man!!! Of course you're going to have a a different opinion of the movie. Kids are going to eat that shit up just cause it's on Nick. Kids don 't discriminate between Disney and Nick, they love em both.
