Youths and adults rocked out with the new Disney Original Movie, Camp Rock on June 20th, 21st, & 22nd. And it struck a chord of unifying consent that said Camp Rock rules and Camp Rock music hits the spot. Teens, tweens and kids alike can’t get enough of Disney’s “CAMP ROCK”. The majority consensus is that Camp Rock “ROCKS” and since the movie Aaryn Doyle’s solo song “What It Takes” seems to be going viral on YouTube. As evidence we’ve seen clones of the song popping up like radical cells out of control. It seems young fans can’t get enough of young singer Aaryn Doyle/Lola and her catchy hip-hop song, What It Takes. With hits in the multiples of hundred thousands on YouTube and the numbers keep rising by the seconds, WHAT IT TAKES, is being propelled into popularity and fuelled by a youth driven fan base that is internet savvy. They can decide a song’s popularity within days with mere keystrokes as they are connected across the globe by the worldwide web.
Camp Rock opened over the weekend on June 20th, to the second highest Nielsen Ratings ever for an original movie. Second only, to HSM 2, pulling in over 8.9 million viewers on the Disney Channel the first night it premiered, with a relatively unknown cast of newcomers. As the drawing card it starred Joe Jonas in the lead as teen love interest and his brothers Nick and Kevin of the rock star (platinum selling) teen boy band the Jonas Brothers in the co-star chairs. Then to give this new teen musical movie lots of momentum Disney had been putting forth a pretty brisk multi-media platform marketing/advertising and publicity blitz to promote their newest stars the Jonas Brothers and Joe's leading lady, new comer Demi Lovato who stars in Camp Rock with the Jonas Brothers, and it looks as though the investment paid off. Yes it is evident that Disney has a new fan favorite for the Disney vault... Can you say "CHA CHING", because that is the sound of Camp Rock's success. According to the most recent Nielsen Ratings numbers, Camp Rock pulled in viewers of 8.86 millions on June 20th (Disney Channel), 3.47 millions on June 21st (ABC), and 3.73 millions on June 22nd (ABC Family) for a grand weekend viewer-ship total of just over 16 million viewers. You can even count me among the viewing public on the Canadian side of the border, which I don't think is included in this Nielsen tally. And by the way… You can also count me among the Camp Rock fan base. Indeed, it was, “Not bad! It was good... But the music was better.” The strength of “Camp Rock” the movie if you ask me, lies within the movies catchy songs; with their memorable beats and well formulated hooks that bait the listener into remembering them. And why not, it is after all a musical. But this time Disney went outside of its wheelhouse by introducing hip-hop music to its young audience. For fans of hip-hop it was a quick sell and it was immediately welcomed; while for fans of pop rock, it took a couple of, or at most a few times listening to this alternate music style, "a la Disney" before they were hooked. This is evident on YouTube as you view the download numbers which translate to success and the accompanying comments of interest for both “Hasta La Vista”, and “What It Takes”, sung by Aaryn Doyle with their viewings each tallying at well over four hundred-thousand hits (& climbing); as well as the glut of positive comments posted. Wow! What a compliment to these young Artists/Talents and Disney for showcasing them in such a prolific and positive media format. We contacted someone close to Aaryn Doyle/Lola Scott (as she was not available to comment us directly), to find out if there has been any increase in her notoriety. The response was, “YES! Now she has many interview requests, and media interviews to do, but while she is out and about, random people/fans are now requesting her autograph and to have their pictures taken with her (when they realize who she is). Also her personal My Space has become flooded with fan/friend requests... CRAZY stuff for this down to earth teen.” So, yes, things have definitely changed in the way of recognize ability factor for Aaryn/Lola as she gains notoriety, and yet with all that is happening (according to our source), she still continues to be sweet and remains humble.

Camp Rock: Red Carpet Ready in New York…

The entire cast of Camp Rock was Red Carpet ready in New York City on the eve of June 11th, 2008 for the Camp Rock Red Carpet World Premier at the historic Ziegfeld Theatre on 54th Street in Manhattan. The swarms of media and the overwhelming swell of fans had been lined up to view their favourite Camp Rock stars since early morning. The turnout was tremendous as thousands of fans situated themselves in front of the Ziegfeld to see Disney’s muchly anticipated Camp Rock cast, walk their white Camp Rock Red Carpet for the first time. So if the positive feed back from the delighted fans, who skirted the Carpet was any indication of fan support for the TV premier on June 20th, 2008; our young Camp Rock cast may become Disney’s newest stars. This young cast, were poised, gracious, and personable to fans and media alike. It is no wonder Disney will have a runaway success the likes of High School Musical on their hands. That’s why watching the cast of Camp Rock work the Red Carpet was a thing of beauty. In keeping with Disney’s tradition of creating winners, Camp Rock looks as though it is going to be a runaway success from our preliminary polls taken here in Manhattan by the Red Carpet. According to many Camp Rock fans polled, one of their favourite characters in the movie is our very own Aaryn Doyle/Lola Scott with her featured song “What It Takes”. Their reasons according to many young fans and parents questioned: they like what Lola’s character stands for, they love her voice, and she is a beautiful girl. Some fans especially liked that Aaryn/Lola is so elegantly tall. As for the message in her song, fans say, it is something that is relatable for a lot of young girls, and it hits a positive note. So it was unanimous with Lola fans that she does have “what it takes” to win their hearts and their fan support. Still it was the Jonas Brothers that had the young ladies screaming, in hopes of receiving flirtatious glances from the rock star brothers: as these young heartthrobs embody qualities that girls and young women around the world admire and dream about. So when Aaryn was asked by the media: what it was like being a part of the Camp Rock cast, and working with the Jonas Brothers, her immediate response was, “It was a great experience. The entire cast is so talented and the Jonas brothers were so much fun to work with and they’re really nice. It was awesome.” So, who did Aaryn/Lola, bring to the Red Carpet? According to our source in Manhattan, her proud parents and her lovely New York agent accompanied her on the Carpet. It was no surprise that our fashionista Aaryn looked stunning for the Camp Rock Premier. She wore a fabulous black, white and purple floral hooded Diesel dress accented with a sheik vintage leather Diesel waist belt, and the cutest pair of black Sam Edelman flats detailed with chunky gold chains. Let's not overlook her tasty jewellery ("to die for"), sporting an awesome oversized black and silver fashion ring enhanced by fabulous sterling silver arm bangles on the left; complimented on the right by an oversized gold onyx dinner ring ideally teamed with the perfect onyx wrap beaded bracelet; not to mention the totally sheik silver, onyx and crystal drop earrings that casually adorned her lobes. Then last but not least, was the 10” patent leather retro club clutch, that rounded out the ensemble. Aaryn looked stunning indeed, in her rock and roll sheik ensemble. The look was fresh, and and fashion forward. Post premier saw Aaryn very busy at the after party, signing autographs and taking pictures with hundreds of fans. But the night would have to end before midnight for our Canadian Cinderella, as she heads back home for yet another media engagement, and back to her regular life as a high-school student preparing for exams, while trying to balance both her worlds. Congratulations Aaryn Doyle/Lola Scott and the entire Camp Rock cast for a job well done. Enjoy the success. "Camp Rock" another Disney Original success.
