MTV's Rookies and Breakthroughs of 2008

We mentioned that the Jonas Brothers made MTV’s Rookies and Breakthroughs of 2008 list, but who else made it and why? MTV has named a few other Disney stars who have earned a spot on this list. They are Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and the New Class of High School Musical 3.

Here’s what they had to say about each young star:

Demi Lovato: Early this year, Demi Lovato found herself working alongside the Jonas Brothers in “Camp Rock.” She quickly scaled the Disney ranks, where she toured with the JoBros, denied she had any feud with supposed rival Miley Cyrus and released her album “Don’t Forget,” which debuted at #2 on the charts. She’s got a TV show, “Sonny with a Chance,” in the works, and we’re thinking that Demi has proven she’s worth her weight in mouse ears.

Read the rest below.

Selena Gomez: She kicked off the year with her TV show, “Wizards of Waverly Place,” only to find herself pitted against Miley Cyrus, starring in a Jonas Brothers music video and accidentally leaking news that there’s a “Wizards” movie in the works. She also became a member of the Jonas Brothers girlfriends club when she reportedly began dating Nick over the summer.

HSM3 – New Class: Justin Martin and Jemma McKenzie-Brown are hoping to pick up where Zac, Vanessa, Corbin and Ashley left off. Describing themselves as a “breath of fresh air” to the franchise, and with rumors of a fourth “High School Musical” in the works, there’s definitely the possibility that these two young’uns have what it takes to sing and dance their way into the hearts of teens everywhere.
