I loved High School Musical, with the introduction of the characters we love and such melodious tracks to sing along to. However, this too early and excessive hype over its sequel on the media, through the music videos, trailers and CD, somehow makes the sequel seem repulsive. By the time it premiers on 9 September in Asia, I would not be excited anymore.
I don't really feel there is much to follow up on in terms of plot anyway. Yes, it is on Sharpay's revenge, according to Total Girl Magazine, but ultimately, the ending will be the triumph of Troy and Gabriella over her and her brother again.
The tracks don't really sound as melodious as those of the first story too. There are different versions of Start of Something New and What I've Been Looking For in You're the Music in Me, and We're All In This Together in the final track where everyone performs.
Yes, the setting is different, in a country club, and the kids deal with summer jobs and not school activities, but things are a tad too predictable and repetitive despite the attempt to improvise, in this sequel.
