  • Nickelodeon made quite a few different attempts to compete with Disney in the music arena. One of the lesser known ones is a little film called School Gyrls. In today's video we will be finding out if it's an underrated gem or a rightfully deserved flop.

    A couple things to note about this video:
    I was supposed to talk about a couple other things in regards to the group but I edited the second half of the video while sick and I really just wanted to get the video out. They're really small points though so I'm gonna put em in here
    1. Jacque dated Justin Bieber a couple years after School Gyrls dropped and they met on the set of this movie.
    2. They made a sequel but it's basically lost media. Thankfully.

      I have to agree. I mean, why not try looking at this movie through the perspective of those who made the movie and the targeted audience of that year? There's no need to be rude and callous about it because it doesn't follow today's teen movies standards and tropes.

    I found out about this group when I first heard that K-Pop girl group Wonder Girls were going to star in a Nickelodeon movie with a rival girl group called School Gyrls. Like a lot of K-Pop fans did, I immediately searched up School Gyrls but instead of judging them I was immediately won over when I saw their video for "Something Like A Party." To this day, is probably one of my Top 10 most played songs in my entire music library

    I actually went to school with Mandy (the blonde one). We had a couple classes together and I'd sometimes talk to her during breaks or lunch both 8th grade and freshman year. She was always really nice. Lol, I even remember her telling a substitute teacher that she was leaving early one day for something and that she was "dropping out of school anyway". This was a year before this aired.
    I'd hear or see her on occasion when she was back in town. She'd bring up any new songs that were coming out, which I actually listened to and liked but I know other people got annoyed with her promoting it lol.
    Still, much love to her. Thanks for being kind back then

Thus, not only is legendary kpop group Wonder Girls canonical to the School Gyrls lore, but the School Gyrls, which are pretty much unknown, are part of their discography. Not to mention, if you watch the music video for their collab song, you can see some of the School Gyrls are different. So yeah, that’s something.

    On a related note, does anyone remember when the K-Pop group Wonder Girls had their own Nick movie (might have gotten plopped onto TeenNick but idr)? I thought it was a fever dream tbh because the day it aired I had practice and couldn't watch it and I think they just never aired it again 💀, but I was relieved when clips of it (mainly the goofy af parts involving their company's founder J. Y. Park - who's currently having another go at US expansion (well after the Wonder Girls attempt didn't exactly work out) with a competition show A2K btw) started going semi-viral on K-Pop spam page Instagram and reaffirmed my memories of its existence 😌 They even have a song with School Gyrls called The DJ Is Mine, a whole Brandy x Monica-type beat haha.

Those bands were established away from those kinds of networks prior so it wasn’t like they were coming into recognition completely from a network. All star weekend was legit 100% a radio Disney band and they got popular for that. They didn’t really have like a solid fan base before being on that contest show.

    I never heard of the School Gyrls movie before watching this video. It appears the short film also got a 1/10 rating on IMDB and three people wrote a review about it. One person gave it a 4/10 saying it's best for teens 14 and under. This was posted back in 2015. The only way I know about this group was through the Wonder Girls special that aired on Teen Nick back in early 2012. In the special, the School Gyrls were in a competition against the Wonder Girls who went by the name Asian Invasion since they come from South Korea. The School Gyrls won by default because the Wonder Girls only got into the competition for the wrong reasons and forfeited their trophy. I think that was the plot. I only watched it once. 🤔 Since then, both groups have disbanded. Last I check some members of the Wonder Girls are married and have children. Monica Parales from the School Gyrls was in some episodes of Everybody Hates Chris prior to this short film.

    You probably missed out on School Gyrls because Nick Cannon was the host of TeenNick at the time and since this was his project all of the ads and promotion went to the TeenNick channel, not the main Nick channel. Like TeenNick made the School Gyrls seem like a bigger deal than they were to my kid brain. It's the same with the movie they made for the kpop group Wonder Girls, most of the promo was on TeenNick instead of the main Nick channel.

    There was also a Christmas special, and Nick Cannon produced a movie for the Kpop group Wonder Girls which featured the School Gyrls as their rivals. Admittedly, the Wonder Girls movie had their best music. There were also some line up changes. The group added rapper Sade and a singer, Lauren for the Christmas movie. Nick Cannon tried to push them as a legitimate music group for a bit, but Mandy and Jacqui left and were replaced by Natalie and Rae. The Wonder Girls movie was their last chance for relevance, but it failed. Rae left the group, leaving them as a quartet. They tried to rebrand as "4ever," but they broke up before any music was released with their new name.

    I straight up might rewrite this movie one day, because imagine if the school was still very strict to the point of stifling people's creativity, but similar to the Ariel's Beginning movie, there's an underground club kind of thing where people can perform and stuff, and that's where the stunt party/talent show is held every year. And then Bambi, who apparently has an issue with her boyfriend being a musician, goes out of her way to get the stunt party and the club shut down, so now, the School Gyrls decide they're going to do something so the party can still happen, whether that be finding a new venue, getting the students who want to be able to express themselves to protest against the school in some way, or really anything else. Idk, there's ways you can go with this story that I think would be fun to work with.

      i thought i was the only one that watched shit like that and I dont remember most of it. i dont think I even watched their full movies. they had a christmas special and I tuned out of that too
