Picture this: You're back in middle school. You've just gotten off the school bus and have kicked off your turquoise Vans to the corner of your bedroom. "Tiger Beat Magazine" posters cover every inch of your boring, beige walls and you collapse on your tousled twin bed. Digging out your iPod Nano from the depths of your backpack, you plug in and set your imaginary stage.
If you're like me, this was a very real daily routine back in the golden years of youth. These are six 2000's songs that could turn anyone into a bedroom rockstar.
1. "This Is Me" - Demi Lovato
The anthem of middle schoolers everywhere, "This Is Me" by Demi Lovato in the beloved movie, "Camp Rock," always lifted the spirits as well as the self-esteem while you lip-synced into your hairbrush and imagined singing alongside Joe Jonas *swoon*.
2. "7 Things" - Miley Cyrus
You're a scorned girl; the boy you have a crush on didn't admit to his forbidden feelings for you when you *67-ed him at the sleepover with your friends last weekend. In retaliation, you blast this classic Miley hit and get all of your feelings out... at least until you see him in homeroom again and start all over.
3. "Burnin' Up" - Jonas Brothers
This lovely number never failed to cheer up a dragging youngster and enhance their rockstar imagination. Include two of your very best friends in the fun and your trio could have taken over the world. Or at least the after-school snack session.
4. "We're All In This Together" - East High
Don't try and deny it; we've all known the dance moves to this song at one point or another. Whether in the school gymnasium or alone in your room, this anthem to teen unity brings all the feels.
5. "Nobody's Perfect" - Hannah Montana**
This song always came in handy after a bad haircut or a nasty breakout reared its ugly blackheads. Even as a fictional character, Hannah gave us the perfect song to blast on the boom box when you were feeling the need for a pick-me-up.
6. "Play My Music" - Connect 3**
Being a big-time [bedroom] rockstar means we need a song to describe our absolute and pure love for music, a love that reaches down deep into our soul. Luckily, our favorite 2000s trio provided the perfect anthem to sing to the family cat as he lounges in your bedroom.
