This came up on my Pandora so I figured I might as well. *Laugh* Yes, it's another Disney, and at this point, the last two guilty pleasures will likely be Disney as well, so brace yourselves. *Think*

I don't actually remember this scene from the movie- we were in late elementary school when the HSM craze broke out, and early middle school for #2 and 3 I think. I do remember our local theatre group put together a rendition of the movie as a stage musical, and Mom took me and Sis to go watch it. There was a boy in my class who was an epic spinner, but I also don't remember if we found that out in that show or another one we went to watch. *Laugh*

I'm putting this as guilty, since yes, it's another Disney, but also, I did enjoy it when it first came out. *Laugh* I don't know if I would watch it again- maybe if I was mega-bored one day and it was on Netflix or something, then I would? Otherwise though, probably not. *Confused* Alternatively, I'd re-watch it just to refresh my memory as to what it was about. I remember Gabriella, Troy, Sharpay, and Ryan, but that's about it. *Laugh* And Chad, Corbin Bleu's character. *Think* I think these Disney Channel movies typically follow a formula- the plot is essentially an "us vs. them" type of conflict, or "who am I?" and then a happy ending. *Laugh* If the movies are a series, then yeah, movie one is "us vs. them," in the second movie, the main character starts debating if they should really follow their heart, and in the third movie, everything is resolved. *Laugh*

Also, the video for this is pretty fun, dancing-wise. I always liked watching music videos to see what artists did with their songs, and this one's no different. Actually, on the topic of "no different," this song kinda reminds me of my tennis days. *Laugh* I used to choreograph little dances in my head while on the court. *Blush* Mom sent me and sis to afterschool tennis, and 3-4 years afterwards, when I quit tennis, she told me, that the coach had told her, there was no way I'd make it in competitive tennis. *RollEyes* I was always there for "social tennis". Honestly? I don't blame him for saying that, because considering I no longer play tennis, I think he was pretty correct. *Laugh* Not to mention, I always imagined I was dancing instead of playing tennis. *Laugh* Yeah, I don't think I was even there for social tennis. Maybe my physical body was there, socializing, but mentally, my mind was in a dance studio. *Rolling*

If you knew you'd get away with it, with no repercussions at all, would you take the chance to exact revenge on all who wronged you?
I only ask, because this song... it's not really about revenge, but it's about finding the inner evil in you. I know mine exists for sure- just, I don't usually act on it because I know the consequences and I'd rather not face them. *Think*
Although, if given that chance, I really don't know if I would take it. *Laugh* It is very tempting, yes, but at the same time, there's still that part of your conscience telling you it's probably not a very good idea. *Pthb*

So yeah, this is definitely a guilty pleasure- it's another Disney soundtrack. It really shouldn't be that surprising, honestly, but in a way, for me, it is. *Laugh* I didn't exactly imagine myself as a Disney person- I mean, yes, I enjoy Disney movies and such, but I'm definitely not one of those Disney fanatics who will have everything Disney and know every trivia about every movie they made, ever. *Crazy* Also, I may just be a fan of the live-action movies, as opposed to their animations. Sure, the princesses are cute and all, but eh, I'm not a huge fan. *Laugh* I much prefer talking animals like Winnie the Pooh. *Ha*

Also, this song- the prince of Auradon (the Disney "utopia" of all the princesses, princes, and good characters) turns into one of the "Isle" people (the land opposite from Auradon where the Beast banished all villains and their sidekicks). So, I mean, if even the prince can turn dark for an amount of time, that means everyone can, right? *Pthb*

I actually was rather hesitant about the Descendants franchise at first because it looked dark and somewhat strange, though now that I've watched the first and second movies, I'm eager for the third to come out this summer. *Laugh* I actually just re-watched #2, and I also re-watched #1 a couple weeks prior. *Whistle*

Annd one more thing I realized as I did this- it's day 4 of guilty pleasures- 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese because its pronunciation rhymes with "death"- while there's no death in Descendants, it's still a dark-ish movie, which fits the dark-ish theme of 4 rhyming with death. *Crazy*
