In Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (yes, because that happened, in case you forgot), there’s a scene where Shane, played by Joe Jonas, and Mitchie, played by Demi Lovato, sing “Wouldn't Change A Thing” in unison… as a duet… while being literally miles apart. them falling out and making up in song form). And when they were together, the whole world seemed to disappear, which sounds romantic, right? Except there were ostensibly dozens of campers actually witnessing their shenanigans (i.e. If you were a fan of the DCOM franchise, you probably have more than a few questions about the nature of the actual camp - for example, did anybody outside of Camp Rock actually think Caitlyn Gellar’s keyboard solo slapped? How many times did Camp Rockers rehearse their synchronized march to Camp Star and how long did it take them to actually get there? And perhaps the most pressing one: just how loud were Mitchie and Shane during their multiple evening serenade sessions? Well, the first few will always be a mystery but thanks to TikTok user we might have the answer for that last one.Įven in the OG Camp Rock, Mitchie and Shane pretty much walked around like they owned the place. Sure, the movie's title includes the word "final," but the ending, which will not be revealed here, leaves open the possibility of sequels.When you stop and think about it, though simple in nature, Disney’s Camp Rock (and its, um, inventive sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam) brought forth many questions that, to this day, remain unresolved. One of the best songs is Nate ( Nick Jonas) singing, "Introducing Me" with the lyrics of: "I eat cheese only on pizza, except in a homemade quesadilla, otherwise it smells like cheese. There are nods to such cover art as Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" and Crosby, Stills & Nash's first album. The brothers pose briefly as musicians from iconic LPs. There's something here for parents who know their album covers. She can also belt a number, evident as Mitchie leads everyone in "Brand New Day," a catchy tune co-written by Kara DioGuardi of "American Idol" fame. "I started with jazz, tap and ballet, and when I hit about 10, I started taking hip-hop." "Dancing is something I have always been passionate about," Lovato says.
But remember, Disney ushered in the model for movie musicals for kids with "High School Musical." The choreography is devoid of sexuality, and to understand what an accomplishment that is, tune into most music videos and see how comfortable parents are allowing tweens to watch. I am a huge Smitchie fan, but I felt the need to write something happening between Luke and Mitchie since the first scene of them together (that doesnt mean I want them together, I just need to write about them).And I didnt want to make Tess all evil because I actually liked her a little. And it's about as realistic as these situations are in any musical. So, I havent written in a while and, um, this is kinda slightly somehow my first Camp Rock fanfic. Sure, the kids break into song and dance at any given moment. "The fact that it's tons of different stories and has a moral to it," is her takeaway, Lovato says.
The camp owner is on the brink of closing Camp Rock as counselors and kids defect to Camp Star, but Mitchie rallies the troops to save the sweet, no-frills camp they love. You feel part of the journey - wanting the camp to survive." "Joe and Nick and I are in it more, and we take on a leadership role, the ownership of the camp - we feel a responsibility. "At Camp Rock, everyone has grown up a little more," Kevin says. A rival rock-wannabe camp, Camp Star, sets up business across the lake and threatens Camp Rock's existence. You have camp friends that you only see at camp and couldn't see an entire year."Ĭamp Rock is for kids who want to be rock stars. Joe adds, "Or you would eat a whole piece of Spam." "You'd eat an entire onion by yourself," he says. They all say they love it, and Joe's favorite memory is "the last day of camp, there was a giant relay race." You never want to lose your love of camp." He attended camp for nine years, Joe for seven and Nick for four.
The brothers, who get along easily with one another, laugh as they recall their camp days.Ĭamp, says Kevin Jonas, is "amazing. Gigantic bodyguards, placed every so many yards in the hotel hallways, keep watch for overzealous fans. On a rainy day in New York, the brothers are sequestered in a hotel.
