High school in the US is a popularity contest: who can have the cutest bf/gf, who can make the cheerleading squad/football team, etc. I enjoyed high school, I had friends, I'm not trying to be cynical, but it was always about who was the most popular flavor of the month. Kids cheated all the time on exams, I did too (mainly on homework), it didn't seem to be a big deal. I regret it now though, I should've just learned the info then b/c now I'm in college and don't know how to do somethings I should've learned in high school! Hope that all makes sense.

Footloose also, because I'm a straight guy! But seriously it's amazing,i don't care how people go on about it being a cheesy 80's movie it rocks, the music is something everyone can dance to (look at Willard on the football pitch, cracks me up every time!)\n\nBut yeah, i get a lot of funny looks when people find that out, like i should be watching gangsters and car chases :P

Like all popular music, it has had good and bad effects.  I worry that too much of it glorifies casual sex and wealth.  But I also know that there are some talented people creating really innovative music.  And there is plenty of truth-telling and uplifting messages, if you look hard enough.\n\nBut those of you who are old enough to flash back 40 years and remember what people were saying about The Beatles and The Rolling Stones should know this is just the same story with a different soundtrack.

Well, "The Producers" isn't all that new.  The original movie that is was based on is from 1976 (I believe).  The Broadway show started in 2001, and won the "Best Musical" Tony Award, and 11 other Tonys (the most ever).  All 6 of the leads were nominated for Tonys.\n\nPart of the appeal is that it is a comedy (to quote the show "The theatre's so obsessed with dramas so depressed, it's hard to sell a ticket on broadway"), but there is also a plot within all the silliness.  It also pokes fun at American culture, specifically the theatre-going crowd.  Also the music is written in classic Broadway style.  Just listen to the overture and it feels like an old feel good musical.

I love it and never miss a show! I like to hear the people auditioning better than the people who sing with music. I mostly watch it because Simon is so mean and its funny, but he went a little overboard this year whe he said they needed a bigger stage. Also, my brothers friend is named Taylor Hicks! When we heard his name my brother nearly jumped out of his skin, and ran to call his friend. It was soooooooo funny!

I'm hecka obssessed. I've seen it about 3 times but i replay it in my head when i go to sleep. I sing the songs at school, in the car, and at home. I even watch music videos on the internet. I got a poster but not the cd. I printed out all the lyrics. I can't wait until they put the real movie script online.

I totally do! His new movie, High School Musical is awesome, and he is extremely hot in it. He is also in an episode of The Suite Life of Zach and Cody and is very hot in that too!

Usually it's because if everybody likes a certain band and they become popular, the band's old fans die out. It's because people talk about them too much and think they know everything about them when they really dont.

I'm 14 and I love the movie! I have the movie and the soundtrack. Before it even came out there were these girls in my class that would sing the songs in the middle of our class and they were talking about getting the dvd that shows you the dance moves when it came out. It's not just a movie for little kids under the age of 12 it's for everyone at any age. If you think it's just for little kids then you should listen to the whole point of the movie, which is to be yourself and do what you to do and don't let anybody stop you or tell you different.

I agree.\n\nIt is very hard for me to watch MTV or listen to mainsteam radio.\n\nI am a 'deeper' music listener and you have to search a little for music that has meaning and musical quality. I still think here are people out there that make music because they love music.\n\nI'm not sure if your question is a question or if you're just informing us haha. But you are right on. But of course mainstream suburban teens will tell you different.
