Right on the heels of Heidi Montag’s gleefully absurd trainwreck, “Fashion,” another dubiously talented poptart, Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical fame, has released a similarly sartorial track titled, “Sneakernight.” In terms of production values and general quality, this ode to dancing and sneakers is a significant improvement over the latest Speidi project, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. Plus, I fear that I’m going to be hearing the line “Basically what we’re gonna do is dance” in my head all night, if only because Ms. Hudgens repeats it over and over and over again ad nauseam.
To her credit, the chronically flat Vanessa Hudgens manages to hit about three notes, which is a pleasant improvement over her previous work (anyone who’s ever had to endure her ear-piercing duets in the High School Musical movies knows what I’m talking about). Still, in a strange twist, Vanessa has somehow injected her voice with a sort of pseudo-sassy-soul growl, whose authenticity feels somewhat questionable. Not saying she lipsynched… buuuuuut, well, I don’t know how this could be the same girl who sang the relentlessly awful dirge “When There Was Me and You.”
All in all, with the arrival of this video and Heidi Montag’s latest, today might have to mark a veritable nadir for the music industry, this blog, and perhaps the world in general. On the other hand, Zac Efron totally has two new songs for his iPod, girrrrrl!
A clip of Vanessa strutting her atonal stuff in “When There Was Me and You” after the jump…
I have to respectfully disagree. Any song that proclaims that “now I got comfortable footwear” is a surefire beginning to a hot night on the town is okay, NAY, applauded by me.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. She’s pretty hot for a 15-year-old or whatever. Granted, I watched the clip on mute.
I’ve never seen the movie, so can someone explain why she’s allowed to wander and sing in the school when everyone else is gone? Also, it’s clearly daylight, so why isn’t anyone there? Or is she just abusing her hall pass privileges? Either way, she’s clearly up to no good.
Wait, spoke too soon. In the last two seconds, the halls go from dead to literally packed. So she was clearly skipping class. This is BULLSHIT.
T-Bag your post almost made me spit out my milk!
Wow, that was pretty craptastic. I have an 8 year-old daughter who has somehow avoided getting sucked into the whole HSM thing, thank God, so I have also managed to avoid seeing the movies. If I had to take my pic of her and her other barely legal costar, I think I’d go for Ashley Tisdale. They’re really the 21st century’s Betty and Veronica, aren’t they?
Props to the production designer for putting a ’58 Impala convertible in the video though. Love that car.
