The soundtrack to Disney’s Camp Rock is manna for sagging tween spirits: Demi Lovato, The Jonas Brothers, and a handful of others well known among the Disney Channel-watching demographic wind their youthful voices around a maniacally catchy set of songs. Camp Rock clearly capitalizes on High School Musical’s winning formula: The story is timeless, and so are the songs, like Lovato’s uplifting “This Is Me” and the Jonas Brothers' rakish, angsty, “Play My Music.” Bright harmonies and hooks sturdy enough to hang an XXL varsity jacket on aren’t the only reason Camp Rock’s soundtrack rocks: Just when you thought the popular kids--Lovato, the Jonases and, to a lesser extent, Meaghan Martin--had a lock on all the best songs, newcomer Renee Sandstrom steps up to deliver a quiet stunner with “Here I Am,” a song that speaks to all tweens hoping to make the cut at music camp. -Tammy La Gorce

Product Description

More than anything, Mitchie wants to spend her summer at a prestigious rock camp in order to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. Mitchie thinks her prayers are answered when her mother gets them jobs at the camp as cooks. Upon arriving at camp, Mitchie discovers the competition among the campers is tough both in the classroom, and for the attention of Shane - a teen pop star, and this summer's celebrity teacher. Shane (Joe Jonas)- who is seeking inspiration for his own music - overhears Mitchie singing, but never sees her face. Haunted by her unique sound, he sets off to find the girl behind the beautiful voice as she confronts her fears and learns to step into the spotlight.

Walt Disney Records proudly presents the SOUNDTRACK to the HOTTEST DISNEY CHANNEL MOVIE OF THE YEAR! Featuring musical superstars, JONAS BROTHERS plus a whole new cast of musical talent that's sure to be the SUMMER'S BIGGEST HIT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Camp Rock Rocks!, December 30, 2008

My 7 year old daughter loved the movie and now loves playing the soundtrack. She was able to see Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers in concert this summer and she loves them both. We don't care for the "Too Cool" song since it sends the wrong message to girls, but overall the songs are fun and upbeat. Demi can really sing great.

This CD is filled with upbeat and catchy songs that will cater to people who enjoyed similar Disney soundtracks like High School Musical and Hannah Montana. The standout songs for me are We Rock, Play My Music, and This is Me, but it's so hard to choose from so many styles.

1. We Rock - 5/5 : The title song is an awesome feel good song that has a strong beat and great group vocals. It's a very catchy tune that will have you moving to the beat. A+
2. Play My Music - 5/5 : Great song by the Jonas Brothers. It has a steady beat, good singing, and an uplifting tone. Fantastic overall.
3. Gotta Find You - 4/5 : A slow and sweet song about trying to find an unknown singer. I like it, but it's not as memorable as the other outstanding songs.
4. Start the Party - 5/5 : A very techno-like song with a strong background instrumentals. This reminds me of Corbin Bleu's style because it has a quick tempo and talks about getting up and moving. A
5. Who will I be - 4.5/5 : A song by Demi Lovato about choosing your own destiny in life. The message is great, but somehow the song doesn't particularly stand out. A-
6. This is me - 5/5 : A fantastic song about being true to yourself and standing proud. This song shows Demi's talent and is one of the best songs on the album.
7. Hasta la vista - 1/5 : Not my style. The notes, the chorus, and the style just don't match. I think it tries too hard with trying to blend hip hop with pop and ends up falling short.
8. Here I am - 3/5 : A slower song about getting back up when you're knocked down. The beat, the lyrics, and the chorus are all pretty generic and forgettable. Mediocre song.
9. Too Cool - 5/5 : A very upbeat and catchy song that works on many levels. It reminds me of the Hannah Montana style with quick and upbeat lyrics accompanied by a strong beat and a variety of instruments. This was the surprise hit of the album for me.
10. Our Time is Here - 3/5 : This song attempts to give a strong sense of accomplishment and victory, but it doesn't quite make it for me. It feels a little bland.
11. 2 Stars - 4.5/5 : A song that's similar to Too Cool. It doesn't have quite the same punch, but it has a unique sound to it that is very enjoyable.
12. What it takes - 4/5 : Another hip-hop/pop crossover that works a lot better than Hasta la Vista. The chorus is a little weak, but the song overall is not bad.

Camp Rock is going to be a very successful show and this soundtrack proves that it has what it takes to match High School Musical. I can't wait to see the show because the songs will probably make more sense in the context of the story, but until then, get this and Rock On!!!

The Jonas Brothers "Play My Music" is my favorite on the album. But Demi Lovato is a very talented girl as well. There is something raw and genuine in her voice, and it really shows in "This is Me." The songs aren't terrible, but were you really expecting a Grammy-nominated album here? It's good for what it is. The songs are cute, but wouldn't particularly cut it Kiss-FM or anything. Nevertheless...I do occasionally listen to the album and like to sing along.
