In 2003, Hudgens played a minor role in the independent drama film Thirteen, where she plays Noel, a friend of Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood's character). The film received general favorable reviews, critically successful, and surpassed its $4 million budget.

Before she played her breakout role as Gabriella Montez in High School Musical, Hudgens has already appeared in television shows such as Quintuplets, Still Standing, The Brothers García, Drake & Josh and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Her performance in High School Musical received numerous nominations and awards. With the success of the film, the BBC noted that Hudgens will be a "household name" in the US.
Hudgens received a recording contract with Hollywood Records. On September 2006, the release of her debut album entitled V, charted on the Billboard 200 at number twenty-four on the chart and was certified Gold on February 27, 2007. Her first single, "Come Back to Me" became her highest-charting single and her second single was "Say OK". Billboard readers chose "V" as the seventh best album of the year. Hudgens was named Female Breakout Singer of the year at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards.
Hudgens also participated in the nationwide High School Musical: The Concert tour in fall 2006, performing the songs from the soundtrack album as well as the three songs from her debut album. She sang the duet "Still There For Me" with Corbin Bleu for his debut album. In 2007, Hudgens reprised her role as Gabriella Montez in the sequel of High School Musical, High School Musical 2. Virginia Heffernan of TV Review described Hudgens in her performance in the movie as "matte" as she "glows like a proper ingénue". In December 2007, she sang to George Bush, who was then the president of the U.S., and his family, at The National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. with other singers at a Christmas event.

Her sophomore album, Identified, which received generally favorable reviews, was released on July 1, 2008, debuting at #23 on the Billboard 200. The album's lead single was "Sneakernight".

Hudgens played a supporting role in a musical comedy Bandslam, which was released theatrically on August 14, 2009. Hudgens plays "Sa5m", a 15-year-old awkward freshman with untapped talents. Although Bandslam was commercially unsuccessful, Hudgens' performance received praise from critics. David Waddington of the North Wales Pioneer noted that Hudgens "outshines the rest of the cast, failing to fit in with the outcast narrative and making the inevitable climactic ending all the more expected," and Philip French of The Guardian compared her acting to Thandie Newton and Dorothy Parker.
In 2009, it was announced that Hudgens will play Linda Taylor in Beastly, a film based on the book by Alex Flinn, opposite to Alex Pettyfer. She plays the "beauty" in the story. Hudgens was cast as Blondie in an action film Sucker Punch, which will release in March 2011.
And she also played in Journey 2 the Mysterious Island in 2012.
Psychic
Vanessa Hudgens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's times when he proves it and times when he won't
It's time I know the deal about how he truly feels
I guess what's killing me is just not knowing
My friends all tell me maybe I should seek a psychic
They tell me just beware I may or may not like it
But either way, I know I need to get some answers
How do I know? I need to know
If he's for real, won't you please let me know?
Or is he just playing, what your magic card shows?
Something 'bout when he's here, makes me not see so clear
Does your crystal ball show any loving at all?
My friends all tell me maybe I should seek a psychic
They tell me just beware I may or may not like it
But either way, I know I need to get some answers
About where I stand with him
How do I know? I need to know
I know this must seem so desperate
But desperate's what I've become
I'll do anything to know I'm the only one
Anything to get the truth from you
My friends all tell me maybe I should seek a psychic
They tell me just beware I may or may not like it
But either way, I know I need to get some answers
About where I stand with him
My friends all tell me maybe I should seek a psychic
They tell me just beware I may or may not like it
But either way, I know I need to get some answers
About where I stand with him
How do I know? I need to know
How do I know? I need to know
How do I know? I need to know
How do I know? I need to know

This was my favorite song on the album. Like everyone else, I replayed this album. When her second one came out, I couldn't even contain myself. When her first album reached my hands, I was almost eight. This is my childhood...
