Lemonade Mouth Star: Bridgit Mendler

Anna Froman
Bridgit Mendler is an American actress, singer, and songwriter. She is best known for her lead role on the Disney Channel series Good Luck Charlie, in which she plays Teddy Duncan. Her latest film, however, may end up being the one she is remembered for. Lemonade Mouth aired in April 2011, and is said to be the next big musical movie for Disney Channel. Bridgit also had a recurring role on Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place playing a vampire named Juliet Van Heusen who is Justin Russo's (played by David Henrie) love interest. She has also appeared in Labor Pains, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, and Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2.

Diving In To Music

Bridgit was signed to Hollywood Records on March 31, 2011, and is set to release her debut album early next year. However, if you can't wait that long, don't worry. She sings the theme song for her Good Luck Charlie show, called "Hang in There Baby". She also wrote and performed the song "This Is My Paradise" for Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2. Both songs are amazing and show off her beautiful voice. For DisneyMania 7, Bridgit sang a cover of "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2, and then recorded "How to Believe" for the Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue film.

More recently, Mendler appeared in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Lemonade Mouth". She played a shy girl named Olivia who usually tries to keep to herself. However, when she receives detention, she finds herself thrown into a group of kids who discover that they have some musical gifts. They form a band with Olivia (Mendler) as the lead singer, and soon create a buzz around their school and town. The soundtrack to this movie is amazing. The entire cast is involved with it, but Mendler takes the spotlight. My favorite song of the film is "Somebody" which Mendler sings beautifully.
