6 Ex-Disney Stars Who Need To Make A Music Comeback

Some of the best times of our life is when we were only allowed to watch television like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel.

Disney Channel was always my favorite when I was a kid. I grew up watching "Hannah Montana", "Wizards of Waverly Place", "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody", and many more. The child and teen stars of our time were honestly some of the best in my opinion. We had Miley Cyrus. We had the Jonas Brothers. We had Ashley Tisdale.

These stars really were a threat to other child stars. They were good actors and actresses. They were singers and musicians. Some were even good dancers. Disney really knew how to train their stars.

Now that we, ourselves, are all adults, these child stars are now adults themselves in their twenties and thirties. They left Disney to do bigger and better things. A lot of them decided to pick one lane of a entertainment career over trying to to juggle two lanes.

Some of these ex-Disney stars really release some great songs when I was child and teen. It's time from them to start making again just for old times sake.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area.
