Tom, I ticked ten but only feel enthusiastic about three, two of which you ticked yourself (LDN and LDN BRIDGE). The third, "Breaking Free," totally melts my heart, probably the one real keeper from HSM (though I quite enjoy the two Ashley Tisdale-Lucas Gabreel tracks, and Tisdale is hilarious in the movie as the wicked white bitch of the West). The r&b on here feels generally cold and disappointing; I ticked "Do It To It" because it's audacious, sorta Ciara's "Oh"-style soft beauty, w/ Jeezy slow "ayes" inserted by The Other Sean Paul, but (unlike "Oh"), it feels really disengaged. Very pretty, though, esp. the bass beat.

Interesting fact about "Breaking Free": notice how Zac Efron's voice takes on a different character when he heads towards the higher register. That's 'cause Andrew Seeley is singing the high parts. So this duet's by a trio.

yeah 'Do It To It' really reminds me of 'Oh' but i think i prefer it - lighter and catchier (pops up in my head a lot more)

I love that Zac Efron is totally channelling that post-Donny Osmond/David Cassidy cadre of 70s teen idols in HSM.

I ticked "Breaking Free" but I think I prefer the basketball number, "Get'cha Head In The Game" (the cast version, not the B5 version on the soundtrack CD).
