Fans Divided Over Leaked Zac Efron Demo Vocals for High School Musical

In a surprising turn of events, a clip of Zac Efron's original demo vocals for the 2005 High School Musical movie has recently surfaced online, sending fans into a frenzy. The video, which is said to be from June 2005, reveals Efron's unpolished singing before the final version was released.

Fans of the iconic Disney franchise know that it was actually Canadian actor and singer Drew Seeley who provided the iconic vocals for Efron's character, Troy Bolton, in the actual movie. With the final product sounding flawless, this leaked demo has given fans a rare glimpse into Efron's early vocal struggles.

The reactions have been decidedly mixed, with some fans harshly criticizing Efron's performance, calling it a "mess" and saying it would not have worked for the movie. However, others have come to the actor's defense, arguing that he simply needed more time and support to develop his singing skills, which he eventually showcased in later High School Musical sequels and other musicals like Hairspray.

Regardless of the divided opinions, this unearthed clip has certainly piqued the interest of High School Musical devotees, who are now getting a unique behind-the-scenes look at the making of one of the most beloved teen musicals of all time.
