Rotten to the Core

Apples to Apples

Rotten to the Core from Disney's "Descendants"

"So this movie comes from the same minds as 'High School Musical,' as I'm sure you can tell. This is the main opening song, much like What Time Is It was for HSM2 - one that quickly summarizes the plot and theme of the movie. Basically, these kids are the descendants of some classic Disney villians, so they have to sing a song about how ***evil*** they are. Plus, they added a weird dubstep number, 'cause I guess that's what the kids are into nowadays."

I actually could not tell that this song was by the 'HSM' people. Troy and Gabriella never danced to this kind of EDM stuff.

This song is definitely not my favorite track from a Disney Channel Original Movie. Why don't they just sing it? They're just talk-whispering most of the time? And they've got a forced rasp thing going on...it's, um, fine.

Sofia Carson recorded a version for the "computer animated short-form series 'Descendants: Wicked World' (x). This version adds a little bit of soul and - bless - takes away the dubstep interlude.

I'm still not in love, but this is better than the movie version. It kind of gives me Mercy (Duffy) vibes, at least at some points.
