sorry that u have to look at the red on my lip i cut myself shaving - definitely not a lie in order to cover up being in a bar fight
wait I can’t tell if you’re joking did you actually get in a fight
@@forrestgumpthechump
lol I can imagine the scenario
The fact that I can't tell if you're joking or not. 🤠
Did you win?
Sameee@@your.local.optimist
Ah yes “I don’t dance”… just a couple of bros asking each other how they swing, and figuring out which team they’re batting for
No cuz it made me so sad when he missed how Chad said "Ill show you how I swing"
They both pitch and catch
I love that Mathew was like "It's a little fruity" during Bet On It, but totally missed the fruitiness throughout I Don't Dance. I once played it, audio only, for my fiance who'd never seen any of the movies, and his first response was "Did they mean to make it sound gay or not?"
literally lmao
Never caught that vibe in I don’t dance lmao but the song is great
@@lunarialoonatic same lmaooo
Fun fact: Ryan and Chad switch outfits after “I Don’t Dance”. Do with that what you will
The fact that there's a really obvious gay undertone makes that 10x better😅
High school musical?
More like Bi school musical.
I believe there was an interview with Kenny Ortega where he said having Lucas Grabeel play Ryan with gay undertones and having a scene/ song like this between Ryan and Chad is the closest they could come at the time to showing anything LGBTQ+ related on a DCOM. Anything more explicit, especially if the relationship or character was shown in a distinctly positive light (like how Ryan was kind of neutral in the first, but he turns into a sweetie in this movie), and the producers would come down hard and have it removed.
@@ndsketcher6445 Until the thing they did where they all came back as adults and Ryan has a BF, I think it's Scott, the blond guy from Pentatonix
@@leogourdon12 Not Chad also saying "I'll show you how I swing" but sadly he missed it :c
The fact that Fabulous wasn’t here makes me so sad, it’s my favorite song from this movie. Hopefully we get I Want It All for HSM3
I want it all us so theatrical I love it
For some reason, I liked huma huma the most. I would love to see his reaction to it. Thinking back on it, I remember a few funny wtf moments in that song
All I have to do is read fabulous and the song plays in my head. Also my step-dad was forced to watch the hsm movies and then loved them, he is a truck driver and took the dvds on his long hails. His favorite song in all 3 movies is Huma Huma
i love how you were calling troy fruity in bet on it but didn’t say ANYTHING about ryan and chad in i don’t dance bc that was arguably the fruitiest part of the movie
glad i wasnt the only one like huh. interesting. i think he talked over "ill show you how i swing" too lol
He needs to react to the whole movie so he’ll be able to appreciate the whole vibe of that scene
@@happysunny0172 he really does lol
tell me ‘i don’t dance’ isn’t chad in bi denial, and flirting ryan i mean theyre wearing each others CLOTHES at the end 😭
This 100% ^^ xD
It's a country club and no thats not something Troy would wear 😂 can't wait to see your reaction to Scream from HSM 3, another troy solo 😄 teen angst on steroids 😂
NO LISTEN AS A SENOIR THAT SONG SPEAKS TRUTH
I slept on that song when the movie came out back when I was in middle school. Didn’t really get into it until college and man was that angst great. My favorite Troy song by far.
@@SaraSong-mw3zm Scream was my anthem during college applications!! 😂
@@SaraSong-mw3zmFRRRR
YES! so much and "boys are back" too. that once always made me want to go back to the place of my childhood and just sing that once so much
If you watch the full movie, I Don’t Dance has extremely gay undertones (and overtones in the scene after it) and it’s so silly to see you watch it 😭
Seriously. I Don't Dance is /the gayest/ song in Disney history imo. "I'll show you how I swing" "You'll never know if you never try" and of course the iconic outfit swap after. *gay chef's kiss*
Y'know, people keep telling me there's gay subtext in I Don't Dance, but I don't see it.
If it's this obvious, we *have* to call it 'text', right? ;)
i could write an essay about how i dont dance is just chad being in denial about liking men,, like going "i dont dance" while very much dancing is a very cute way to say "im not gay" while clearly being into whatever ryan had going on lol
@@trisofalltradesThey literally switch outfits the scene after the song. There’s no straight answer to that
@@BlueBlazeKing Yes, which is why I was making a joke about it being text instead of subtext.
The fact that there is not 1 comment about how iconic your nail polish looks is just sad. That is such a good colour for you!
i wanted to say that till i saw this comment I mean I looks so good
Ikr? He always slays when he puts on nail polish!!
like paurrr@@boredblue9686
I agree! Pink is such a lovely color
Yeah and it complements the ring, it’s awesome
they fact you saw how fruity bet on it looked but didn’t see how fruity i don’t dance is 😭😭💪
RIGHT?! 😂
@@nadsestaenlaluna
like how did he not see the sexual tension in that dance
I was like "*in my best Chad Dylan Cooper impression* Really Mathew, really? Dear this really flew over your head 😅❤"
Mathew: Is she moving away? Is she going to college or something?
Me: *Apollo's gift of prophecy dodgeball*
Fr, he literally predicted what the third movie is about. 😂
Was looking for someone else to comment that.
Gosh, these movies were such a huge part of my youth. I remember singing "Gotta Go My Own Way" from the top of my lungs, weeping and trying to do both parts all at once even though I hadn't gone through any kind of heartbreak yet at that point. :D And that song started to hit even harder over time. I'm glad you started the new year with this movie and I hope you'll react more to this saga. Thank you.
Growing up, since I would only be focusing on the movie, multiple times "Gotta Go My Own Way" would make me cry. I could just feel how sad it is to go through that kind of break up even though I was only 8 years old and hadn't even experienced attraction to anyone yet. The song is that powerful.
100% this! Especially the singing both parts simultaneously and thinking I nailed it.
I remember being really in the trenches of my Arcane hyperfixation and seeing all them edits with Vi and Caitlyn with that song lmao
I Gotta Go My Own Way genuinely made me cry as a kid, and I still find it really sad :3
It's just so nicely written imo, these teenagers puring their hearts out.
I agree 100%. That song is my favorite song in that movie. It's a shame Mathew didn't react to that Sharpey song humuhumunukunukuapuaa, I used to laugh so hard at that song it's crazy
"he IS the drama" before he even gets to THE DRAMA 😂
I Don't Dance context: Corbin Bleu sings and dances as part of the movie's songs, but the actual character, Chad, is an athlete who can't stand the thought of performing in a play. In the first movie, he was one of the people who originally tried to stop Troy from performing. The kids in this movie want to put on a performance and they want Chad to be a part of it. I Don't Dance is Ryan trying to convinced Chad that if he can do something like sports then Chad can do something like perform. Chad doesn't respect performers, so Ryan is trying to earn his respect while simultaneously convince him there is a performer in him.
Nice explanation! Hopefully Matt reads this to get some context lol
See, this is legitimate explanation. I never understood the "gay" undertones/true meaning supposedly in the song
Chad... not Chaz
@@rhiannehunt Changed it just for you.
😂 I originally thought it was a typo and was like waiittt that's too many.
I absolutely adore Bet on it. Yeah, it's pretty cheesy, but I'm sorry, that song is just way too catchy
Exactly, the song is so good ☝️😁🔥
@@selenarodgers5667 Based af
I'm a little sad that he didn't react to my favourite HSM2 song "Fabulous"...but his commentary trying to figure out the plot of the movie is hilarious 😂
High School Musical 2 is defo my favorite of the three, the songs are just on another level and the memes that came out of this movie are immaculate
Same
Bet on it is just a vibe. Efron is just giving 110% and I live for it
That one scene/song alone took longer to film than the rest of the movie combined 😂 Everyone involved put their all into that song
how did matthew NOT pick up on the gayness absolutely radiating from I Don't Dance i dont get it lmaoo
i love you roasting yourself about almost saying "this sounds so Disney"
Great reactions as always! But PLEASE do a part 2 for HSM2, you missed some of the most iconic songs! Fabulous, What Time Is It, Work This Out, You are The Music In Me, All For One and the iconic Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. (Yes, that's really the name of the song lol)
I love your reactions lol and honestly, in my humble opinion, Gabriella was the only character that stayed truth to herself during the entire series! No jk. She's consistent and very fair. Like you said, she wants it to work out but she doesn't belong there anymore so she's leaving her own path... because that's healthy. I'm just saying this here because I agree that this is a different type of breakup song for these movies (especially DCOMs), so yeah Gotta Go My Own Way is probably in my top 3 HSM songs
Hi
Honestly though, for the last one you need to watch the whole movie because the songs are weird out of context - The movie is seriously the best one of the series though, they really went out with a bang. The production value is better, the budget is there, the concepts, the costumes, it's all so good 😂
Awww no Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, I really wanted his reaction to that masterpiece
Ahhh the lovely tension of I Don't Dance. And the scene that comes after. I just can't get enough. The song really slaps, too. All the ones listened to in this video do, actually.
3:40 this gets better when you realize that they’re both set in Albuquerque around 2007-2008 (this also means that its possible that Jesse Pinkman and Troy Bolton could’ve gone to school together)
Jesse graduated years before 2007, plus we have the names for both schools.
I completely understand where you're coming from! Music has a powerful way of evoking emotions and sometimes we're caught off guard by the impact it can have on us. It's great that HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 songs can still bring out those emotions in you. Music has a way of connecting to our past experiences and memories, reminding us of moments and feelings we may have forgotten. It's a testament to the power and influence of music in our lives. Enjoy the nostalgia and embrace those emotions!
Now we need a part 2 with Fabulous and Work This Out before you move on to HSM3!
YESSS!
I mean we could also include What Time is It as well. Just so long as it's not that weird song at the end of the movie.
Pls do a part 2 for HSM2!!! and then I would love to also see you listen to the songs from HSM3😊
When I found out that fabulous wasn’t here it broke my heart more than Troy’s heart broke when Gabriella left
Not me tearing up emotional because I haven’t heard I gotta go my own way in a long time to then almost falling of my chair at the “ARGH, not the Tgabriella!” 💀✨😂💕
Ryan and Chad definitely had a summer fling together- I mean, what
You missed the best song of the movie hahaha it’s called “Work This Out” and fun fact: Kenny Ortega directed and choreographed both High School Musical and Descendants!
love how matthew was so invested in the game that he ignored the song lmao i think 'i don't dance' is actually one of my fav songs from hsm but that might be because it's kinda fruity
fun thing to know is the actor who plays chad is now on broadway, one thing he's in is a broadway showing of little shop of horrors.
Haven't seen your reaction to it yet because I had to pause right when I saw the picture of the baseball field thing. I Don't Dance, my roman empire and gay anthem of my childhood :') I'm so happy you're watching it!
Edit: idk why i expected anything but a discussion about the logistics of the game lmao, this is why i like your channel so much dhsshjs
NAUR not the way that Mathew instantly clocked onto Bet On It's fruitiness but didn't comment on I Don't Dance's which by itself spawned literally almost 600 fanfics on Ao3 ALONE?!?!?! Idk how that happens lol.
“Their priorities are mixed up” How did you get that so accurate lol! But yeah my guy, re-evaluate the fruitiness in I don’t dance 😅. Loved the video!! Can’t wait for hsm3 songs AND MAYBE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL THE MUSICAL THE SERIES SONGS!!!!! (Hsmtmts) ❤❤❤
You should check out Bet it Go. It's video of Zac from Bet On It, while Let it Go from Frozen is playing. The way they match up so perfectly is hilarious.
To help out, in HSM 2, Troy and his friends are working at a resort and his friends are mad at him for something he didn’t do. Troy is upset because he’s torn between friends, love, and work.
This is my favorite High School Musical! It’s so good!
Not having Work It Out and the 2 versions of music in me in this is criminal!
New year, new Matthew McKenna video titles that make me laugh
lmao tyty
I’m gonna need him to react to you are the music in me by sharpay!
my friend and i always come back to i dont dance unironically/ironically its a silly ass song (youre dancing you are literally dancing while singing) but its sooo catchy. also the vibes 🌈
yess i was hoping you did gotta go my own way it's one of my favorites from the movies. so beautiful
To me, the second movie has always been more memorable than the first one. It's so bat shit insane compared to the first one and i always forget that there was a third one tbh
“Not the Tgabriella” hahahahaha I wish you were reacted to ‘you are the music in me’ sharpays version though 😂🎉
Mathew. The nails are everything. We need more colours in future king🫶
"I Don't Dance" is sooo good I literally listen to on a daily basis. Corbin bleu is one of most if not THE most finest Disney men ever lol😅
when you noticed the necklace was a T and realised it was T for troy... that made me laugh bc there's a line at the start of the movie where gabriela also realises the same thing
12:35 Sometimes you forget Matthew is Australian and then he uses the word ‘batsman’ for a baseball player and you are just caught off guard 😂
"I've Got to go my Own Way" you can tell that the first verse is Gabriella telling Troy he'll be ok. The second verse is her convincing herself he'll be ok and that she has to do this. The bridge has Troy trying to convince her and the final verse is Gabriella standing strong with her decision, but she's clearly in pain and trying to convince herself Troy will be ok and that this is right.
we need a part 2 with fabulous, work this out, and you are the music in me!!! Or just watch the movie honestly
Same
Not a house, it's a country club... basically a hangout place for rich people
2:15 no it’s a private golf club/country club. he works there as a waiter. Also singing about friendship challenges and them saying he’s changed etc.
ALSO THE PINK NAILS??? HELL YEAH ‼️
I need you to react to Fabulous by Sharpay in HSM2 lol
Bet On It, I dont Dance, Gotta go my Own Way - the way you managed to put all my favourite songs from the movie in this video ❤
For me this would have been a perfect video if "Fabulous" had been included instead of "Everyday" like I enjoy the song but "Fabulous" is actually iconic.
@@emmybm15 I wouldn't say I like Fabulous it particularly more than Everyday, but it's definitely more iconic, I can agree to that!
Hsm 3 - best songs worst plot line
Hsm2 - more interesting plotline to 8 year old me
Hsm 1- best entrance into a movie series period according to 8 year old me
Before moving on to HSM3 (my personal favourite of the 3 movies) you NEED to listen to Fabulous, HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUA'A, Work This Out, and What Time Is It...
Also you are correct, Everyday is at the end of the movie... in fact, that's the next time they're together after Gotta Go My Own Way... thats why he looks so confused at the begining of the song... he didn't actually know she was gonna be there
ok in the part that they are singing "Everyday" and that Troy looks confused to where Gabriella's voice coming from, is that earlier on in the movie she leaves bc Sharpay was trying to get him into these fancy dinners, and doing a bunch of stuff, and well he wasnt getting a lot of quality time with Gabriella so, Gabs chooses to leave the country club (thats when she sings gotta go my own way), and also Troys friends feel the same way but they dont leave, they just dont talk to him, but then a little bit more halfway thru the movie, he fixes things with his friends , and then originally he was suppose to sing with Sharpay but then he decided not to and thats when starts singing his part in everyday , and was so surprised to see and hear Gabriella.
High School Musical 3 makes me tear up every time just because I have been through my senior year of high school and have seen a lot of the issues dealt with in that movie. I am in college rn and it still makes me cry. I cannot wait for you to react to those songs. Scream, Boys are Back, and I Want It All are my favorite songs from the movie.
The break up was cause Troy was working for a scholarship and neglected Gabriella and his friends
criminal that fabulous wasnt included, i demand more!!!
I WAS EMOTIONALLY TRAUMATIZED BY GOTTA GO MY OWN WAY
my little heart at the diner table broke
I don't dance is my favorite song in the series and at some point it was either confirmed by the director or at least a theory started that the song is an allegory for coming out and chad not being ready too come out as bi and Ryan already being out as gay or at least everyone knows - this theory is also held up not just by the baseball analogy and song but also in the next scene when everyone is having lunch after the game it is implied that they hooked up because they're wearing each others shirts and hats,
no troy is not that rich,
that place wasn't his house,
he is working at the country club sharpay and ryans parents like go to or own i forget specifically.
though his "job" was sharpay trying to get him to choose her
Also he should react to High School Musical the Musical the Series. There's so much talent in that series ❤
the drama of 'Bet on It' is unparalleled.
In HSM2, it's summer break. Sharpay gets Troy hired at her parents' country club for his first job, and Troy gets all his friends hired as well. Sharpay manipulates the work environment so that all Troy's time is monopolized. She gets him preferential treatment, while his friends are treated as normal employees and Gabriella gets in trouble for every perceived mistake. Troy's poor time management causes him to miss a couple of dates with Gabriella, and that combined with her job treatment leads to 'I Gotta Go My Own Way'.
LETS GOOOOO High School Musical was my childhood
Everyday is the reconciliation song which is why he seemed surprised.
I still listen to all 3 movies soundtracks plus the songs from High School Musical The Musical The Series
I'm not entirely sure about this but I think that Bet On It takes place a few frames after Gotta Go My Own Way.
It's been a while since I've seen the movie.
Yes, Everyday is the last song. That's why Troy was so shocked that Gabriella was there, because he thought she was gone.
Wasn't One For All and All For One the final song?
Not related to high school musical but Mathews nails look really pretty in this video, pink suits him
The baseball song went viral for being coded in homosexuality, basically when he says I don't dance he's talking about something else, supposedly because at the end of the scene they change clothes it was kind of implied, but the whole point was that Ryan was supposed to be queer coded, but Disney didn't like that so they took it out but that's what everyone was talking about on the Internet because Kenny Ortega wanted him to be so when watching the scene there's a few different ways you can interpret it, either as him talking about dancing or him talking about something else.
lot of people give grief about "bet on it" being cheesy or whatever...but I personally loved it, thought it was so fun upbeat and well song..and the running thing actually gave me footloose vibes, during the solo part in the barn..
10 year old me sobbed watching Gotta Go My Own Way when this movie first premiered
Matthew, i died of laughter when you made the Breaking Bad joke. It was hilarious.
watching/listening to Gotta Go My Own Way in 2007 is the first time I remember crying while watching a movie. 7 year old me was DEVASTATED with the breakup
Funny thing this movie was actually filmed like 5 minutes away from my house in my hometown of St. George. In the first song specifically you can see the red rocks and many of the fancier houses have that weird architecture.
you need to react to the rest of the songs!! fabulous is so camp
Got to go my own way always made me cry i was not ok when ever gabriella started a song and it was basically a solo
I think this was the best movie out of the three high school musical movies, I personally think it had the best songs
I don't know what is funnier your comments or the fact that you guessed EVERYTHING wrong 😂😂😂
Happy New Year Mathew! Cant wait for another year of awesome content
You need to watch Starstruck!! Especially the song Hero. It's the absolute best Disney movie!!!!
everyday is last and gotta go my own way is mid film, so don't worry, everything is happy and joyful!
Also, PLEASE react to the songs from season 3 of Only Murders in the Building. We've got Steve Martin, Martin Short, and MERYL fucking STREEP doing huge numbers! There is a musical production being created, so all the songs are from a fictional murder-mystery musical where a mom was killed while alone in a room with her three baby triplets, and so the babies are the primary suspects lol... it's obviously high camp but also genuinely so good
Not the Tgabriella had me dyingggg
LOVE THE NAILS MATHEW!!
Sir. Your nails. Are slaying 👑
Matthew you do know this is a musical after all right😂
At the ripe age of 20yrs old i cry at gotta go my own way every time😢
Oh, you _have_ to react to "Fabulous" Sharpays song. She is just... well, Sharpay XD
I LOVE YOUR NAILS!! :D
Very glad you reacted to these ! Now time for HSM 3 ! (even though this one still has some cool songs you could react to and it would be great too)
Always enjoy your videos btw soo thansks. And happy new year !
