Earlier this month, Stan Carisoza became the winner of High School Musical: Get In The Picture.  He went up against Tierney, Isaiah, and Christina in the finale and performed "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith for the judges.  As the winner of High School Musical: Get In The Picture, Stan will receive his very own music video which will run at the end of High School Musical 3, a recording contract with Disney Records to release 2 digital records as well as a talent deal with ABC.  Last night, Carisoza had his first opportunity to thank the fans that supported him this summer and gave a special performance for them as well.

Tonight is the finale of High School Musical: Get In The Picture and one contestant will reach their goal of being featured in the upcoming High School Musical 3, which hits theaters in October.  The winner will not only receive their very own music video, they will get a recording contract with Disney Records to release 2 digital records as well as a talent deal with ABC.  Only Tierney, Isaiah, Christina, and Stan are left in the running!

Things get started tonight with a High School Musical medley featuring all 12 contestants from this season.  Nick Lachey welcomes the studio audience to tonight's finale and introduces one special judges, Kenny Ortega, the director of the High School Musical movies.  HSM cast member Ashley Tisdale joins Nick to wish everyone good luck and tells them to follow their dreams.

Tonight's High School Musical: Get In The Picture begins in homeroom. There's the usual chit chat about how all the girls love Stan, especially Shayna. Nick Lachey starts a group discussion about walking in other people's shoes. Segue to the gym, where Rob Adler has set up mannequins wearing different kinds of outfits, for example, disco, goth, hip hop, etc. They will each be assigned a persona, and then they'll have to perform "A Whole New World," filtered through their assigned persona.

Everyone collectively chooses what style each person gets, selecting the style that each person is least like in real life. Tierney gets rock and roll, Isaiah gets folk, Christina gets disco, James gets hip hop, and Stan gets goth. Everyone is outside of his or her comfort zone, especially Stan who hates goths

When High School Musical: Get In The Picture was in its audition stages, I had a pretty good feeling about the show. The faculty members, who served as judges during the process, were not just letting anyone through to the next round. The contestants had to not only impress vocally but through their dance skills and personality as well. They passed on people that I thought were good enough to go on but the standards were set high for this new reality show. When they narrowed it down to the final group of contestants, though, they had to start performing weekly tasks that made me wonder: What the heck does this have to do with anything?

On tonight’s episode of High School Musical: Get In The Picture, Nick Lachey meets up with the students to tell them that this week will be all about first impressions. It won’t matter how talented they are. If they can’t make a good first impression, they won’t get very far in life. The remaining contestants in the competition meet with faculty member Chris Prinzo, who tells them that they’re going to have to audition for three different jobs. Some of the jobs involved children, who intentionally make things difficult for the contestants. Stan and Isaiah and were named as the two people who would have landed the jobs.

On tonight's episode of High School Musical: Get In The Picture, Anthony was frustrated with being placed in the chorus, only because he felt like he was there for the right reasons, which is more than he can say for others.  Nick Lachey caught TJ doing an impression of him but he said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  The chorus members are sent to acting class, to learn to connect better with one another. The remaining contestants head off to a karaoke party in the school gym, but they've never sang like this.  They'll have to sing "Get'cha Head In The Game", not just in English, but in several other languages too!
