Our Top 10 HSM Actors

There are ten main High School Musical actors. We've decided to rank them based on how we like them. The lower the number, the more we like them (i.e. we hate number 10 but love number 1).

1. Ashley Tisdale. We think we've made it pretty clear that she's our favorite. We can't give any reasons why, she just is!
2. Zac Efron. He is just so hot we cannot control ourselves. Plus he seems pretty humble.
3. Lucas Grabeel. So talented, yet so underestimated.
4. Monique Coleman. If there's anybody who's been humbled by the success of High School Musical, it's her.
5. Kaycee Stroh. We used to hate her, but now we love her!
6. Ryne Sanborn. He's got a certain charm that we find adorable.
7. Chris Warren, Jr. He seems humble, but we see him as the person who secretly thinks he's all that and a bag of chips.
8. Vanessa Hudgens. She's pretty and talented, but really whiney. Plus, she stole Zac!
9. Corbin Bleu. He has got to be one of the most annoying people. Maybe if he didn't put his hair in a ponytail, we'd feel differently.
10. Olesya Rulin. Sure, she may be the quiet and sweet Kelsi in the movies, but reports from our insiders say that she's the biggest diva. She even wears her sunglasses indoors. Psh...

Well, we're sorry if we've offended anyone with our comments, but just remember it's out opinion. We hope you're inspired to think about how YOU would rank these stars. Email us at disneyhsmblog@yahoo.com because we'd love to read your list!
