TEEN POP
Despite the ginormous success of the High School Musical soundtracks, none of the cast members who have released solo albums has seemed poised for pop mega-stardom. Not Ashley Tisdale, not Corbin Bleu and not Vanessa Hudgens, who, at 19, is held back in tween territory on her second album. She seems to be operating with the Disney police watching for fear that she turn into a Pussycat Doll. Even when Hudgens tries to add a little flavor to the bubblegum with dashes of hip-hop and R&B, it's bland enough to keep Mickey happy.
