It's time to start listinin'
Practice makes perfect
But perfect's not workin'
There's a law out 'bout music
That know where your cue's gonna be
You can play all the right notes
But if you can jump
Like David Lee Roth
Or pump your fist like your broom's the boss
If you got a heart and soul
You can rock and roll
Rock and roll
Strummin'
Drummin'
Slide across from runnin'
The stage is your home if you learn how to own it
Like the greats did
There's no way that you can fake it
You've got to feel the beat before you can move
Even though you're not wearing blue suede shoes
Makin' mistakes
But that won't matter
If you can swagg like 'ol Mick Jagger
If you got a heart and soul
You can rock and roll
You can rock and roll
If you live and you die
For the music inside
If the one four five never gets sold
Then you can rock and roll
Rock and roll
Alright now take it low
Now I need the spotlight to hit me
Right here
As the crowd starts to cheer
I need the fan to blow right through my rock star

Gather 'round, guys
Everyone come together and listen to what's about to be said
It's time to start listenin'
We need to focus and pay attention
Practice makes perfect
Rehearsing leads to mastery
But perfect's not workin'
Focusing only on perfection can be counterproductive
There's a law out 'bout music
There are rules in the industry
That know where your cue's gonna be
Knowing when to start and stop is important in music
You can play all the right notes
Playing the correct keys on an instrument is important
But that don't mean you move with me
Playing the right notes doesn't necessarily translate to playing in sync with others
But if you can jump like David Lee Roth
If you can put on a good show that's visually stunning
Or pump your fist like your broom's the boss
If you can show confidence and enthusiasm in your performance
If you got a heart and soul

Like the greats did
The legendary musicians once performed with the same passion and heart
There's no way that you can fake it
You can't pretend to have passion for music
You've got to feel the beat before you can move
In order to perform well, you must first feel the rhythm
Even though you're not wearing blue suede shoes
It doesn't matter what you wear, as long as you can perform well
Makin' mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes, even musicians
But that won't matter
As long as the performance is authentic and passionate, mistakes don't affect it
If you can swagg like 'ol Mick Jagger
If you can have a cool and confident demeanor like Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones
If you live and you die for the music inside
Music is so important to you that it's worth living and dying for
If the one four five never gets sold
Even if your music doesn't become a commercial hit
Then you can rock and roll
You can still put on great performances and have passion for music
Alright now take it low
Lower the music's volume
Now I need the spotlight to hit me
The singer wants to be the focus of attention
Right here
In this moment
As the crowd starts to cheer
As the audience reacts positively to the performance
I need the fan to blow right through my rock star hair
The singer is imagining a dramatic and cool moment where they're captured by the audience with the wind blowing in their hair
If you can scream like Axl Rose
If you can sing in a powerful and raw way like Axl Rose from Guns N' Roses
Or sing like Cristina a show after show
If you can sing with a lot of emotion and energy like Cristina Scabbia from the band Lacuna Coil
If you've got a heart and soul
If you have passion, drive, and love for music
You can rock and roll
You can put on a great show, entertain and connect with your audience
You can rock and roll

Nick has always been the best singer of the 3. Started his singing career solo before the band was created. Unfortunately, camp rock didn’t showcase his singing as much in the first movie. But definitely more in the second movie.
If you want to hear Kevin’s solo, check out his song “Scandinavia” from their tv show.
@Cristinapaz10
Yes
@4deleDaz33m
Probably one of Jonas Brothers' underrated songs if fans hasn't seen Camp Rock movies
@eugeniayurquina9492
I always loved nick's voice Is so unique for me
