But you know what was a pleasant surprise? Stefanie Scott’s single track does not disappoint. That girl is going places I tell you.
Here’s a brief article about the album:
Turns out TV’s favorite “Advanced Natural Talents” really are naturals. Walt Disney Records is set to release an album of songs inspired by the new hit Disney Channel original series “A.N.T. Farm,” performed by cast members from the show. Capturing all of the show’s youthful fun, the album features new and classic songs sung by Hollywood Records artist and “A.N.T. Farm” star China Anne McClain, her sisters Sierra and Lauryn, and “A.N.T. Farm” co-stars Stefanie Scott and Carlon Jeffery. The “A.N.T. Farm” soundtrack, which includes the new single “Calling All the Monsters,” arrives in stores and to online retailers on Oct. 11.
“A.N.T. Farm” star China Anne McClain sings six songs solo, including the upbeat “Exceptional,” the #1 Radio Disney smash cover of “Dynamite,” the breaking Radio Disney hit “Calling All the Monsters,” “Unstoppable,” the sweetly romantic “My Crush” and a sensational cover of the Christina Aguilera classic, “Beautiful.” China and her sisters also star in the “Calling All the Monsters” companion video, which had its world premiere Sept. 18 on Disney Channel.
Also featured on the album: “Pose,” a duet from “A.N.T. Farm” co-stars Stefanie Scott (who plays Lexi, Chyna Park’s rival) and Carlon Jeffery (who plays Chyna Park’s older brother Cameron). Carlon raps solo on the slow jam “Summertime,” while China Anne and her sisters perform “Perfect Mistake” and “Electronic Apology.”

Save The Nine Lives of Chloe King
ABC Family clearly didn’t learn their lesson and they have AGAIN cancelled a new series after only ten episodes! The ABC Family series The Nine Lives of Chloe King was just getting started and had just begun to build up what was a very large and elaborate story line. We had some major plot elements revealed in the mid-season finale, which unfortunately has become the series finale. We call on all Disney fans to help us in our campaign to get this series renewed. No show deserves to end before it’s potential an even be measured. Our first SDS event is next week on October 9th (for nine lives) and we really need your support!
It’s time again for our first look at that’s new on Disney channel this month. And it looks like a lot of Wizards! “Wizards vs. Everything” will be the 25th episode of the season and we are clearly nearing the end of the series run. Also new this month are the usual couple episodes of ANT Farm, So Random, Phineas and Ferb, Good Luck Charlie, and Shake it Up. There are also several Jessie episodes, which one would expect seeing as how it’s a new show.
If you’re interested in learning more about Debby’s new show, you might want to check out DebbyRyan.net and our new Jessie fan site at DisneysJessie.com.
Huge news at Disney Channel this month! Carolina Lightcap, the now former president of Disney Channels Worldwide, has decided to step down from her post. Gary Marsh, Disney Channel’s Chief Creative Officer has now been promoted to president for Disney Channels Worldwide in addition to continuing to serve as Chief Creative Officer. Mr Marsh has long been one of the most receptive and well respected executives at Disney Channel, and his ascension to president of the channel is very good news for the fans in general.
In commenting on Mr. Marsh and his promotion, Anne Sweeney, co-chair, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney/ABC Television Group said, “Gary Marsh has been the driving creative force behind Disney Channels remarkable growth for the past 15 plus years, responsible for some of the most iconic and successful franchises in our history, including ‘Hannah Montana,’ ‘Wizards of Waverly Place,’ ‘High School Musical,’ ‘Phineas and Ferb,’ ‘That’s So Raven,’ ‘Shake It Up’ and many others.” She continued, “The evolution and growth of our Disney Channels business will come from the alignment of this great creative with strong distribution, in all its myriad forms. There is no one better suited to manage this than Gary. He not only understands the zeitgeist of kids’ culture, he helped create it. Our business couldn’t be in better hands.”
It’s been quite a year for Demi Lovato. But she’s gotten her life back in order and her new album “Unbroken” was just released last month. In support of the new album Demi did two concerts, one in NYC and one in LA. Our own Webmaster Greg was there at the LA show and has a full report including quite a few concert videos from the show. It was an amazing show.
Long time Disney fans may remember actresses Lauren Frost and Margo Harshman from Disney’s Even Stevens. Lauren played Ren’s slightly ditsy friend Ruby and Margo played Louis’s friend and eventual love interest Tawny. These two talented girls have since teamed up and formed a band called Violet Hour. Our own Webmaster Greg had the opportunity to see and speak with them at their concert at El Cid in Los Angeles last month.
For more about the band and the show (including videos) please visit the DC Fans Blog.

Disney Channel September Highlights
September looks like just another month at Disney with a couple new episodes of A.N.T. Farm, Fish Hooks, Good Luck Charlie, Phineas and Ferb, Shake it Up, So Random, and Wizards of Waverly Place. There’s also one new episode of PrankStars on tap and most importantly the premiere of Debby Ryan’s new series Jessie at the end of the month. If you’re interested in learning more about Debby’s new show, you might want to check out DebbyRyan.net.
We expected that Good Luck Charlie would be renewed for a third season, but you never know with Disney. If you need a reminder of that, just ask any Phil of the Future fan. Production is scheduled to resume in Los Angeles for a season premiere in early 2012. …
“Good Luck Charlie” has also inspired a Disney Channel Original Movie, “Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas!,” set to premiere in December, starring the cast along with guest stars Debra Monk (“Damages,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) and Michael Kagan (“Desperate Housewives”).
Last month we brought you a message from the leaders of the Kim Possible Fan Convention project. This month, we just wanted to give you a few important updates regarding the status of the project.
Kimvention 2012 is the Kim Possible Fan Convention happening the weekend on June 8-10 in Southern CA. We’re finalizing the venue and when we do, we’ll announce the location.
It’s a fan convention to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 21st Century’s first great heroine, and the team that brought her to the screen. We are working to put together a lineup of panels and events to entertain and maybe inform some fans about how a show like KP gets put together, all the care taken by people who truly are plying a craft.
There’s lots more news to come, so go ahead and like us, then watch for updates! Thanks!
You can stay up to date on the project and provide your feed back via these social networking sites.
