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

By	Karen "Lacey" (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's really not bad, August 10, 2008

By	A. Pollick (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Tweener Pop, August 2, 2009

By	K. Fontenot "Prairie Cajun" (The Bayou State) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Hot on the trail of the first two "High School Musical" movies, "Camp Rock" coupled (at the time) Disney Channel newcomer Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers for a fun little musical that quenched the thirst of young tweeners waiting for the HSM 3 film. I've watched the first two "High School Musical" shows and also caught the television release of "Camp Rock" with my daughter. I have to admit that I prefer the music of "Camp Rock."

The soundtrack itself is very good. It never strays too far from the Disney Channel musical formula, which means the listener gets plenty of high energy, sing-along quality tunes. While the Jonas Brothers got an obvious push from performing on this soundtrack, I feel that Demi Lovato actually stood above them and the rest of the singers on this album. Her signature song, "This Is Me," showcases her vocals. She also shines on "Who Will I Be" and fronts the singers alongside Joe Jonas on the wonderful "We Rock."

Other standouts on this album include "Play My Music" by the Jonas Brothers, "What It Takes" by Aaryn Doyle and "Too Cool" by Meaghan Martin.

For infectious pop that won't grate the nerves, I recommend the "Camp Rock" soundtrack. The songs are very good and you can play them around your youngsters with no worries about lyrical content. Recommended.
