<p>What is the beauty of <em>Friends</em>? It is not just the unforgettable bonds and those delightfully oddball characters that stay with us–the theme song carries its own weight of awesomeness. Originally set to be named &#8216;Shiny Happy People&#8217; by R.E.M, the torch was passed to The Rembrandts, and they transformed it into the classic &#8216;I&#8217;ll Be There for You.&#8217; It is no surprise that the theme song has fans singing along word for word; like a musical hug that just clicks perfectly.</p>
<p>Even Vanessa Hudgens got hit by the <em>Friends</em> bug. She belted out the theme song alongside none other than Jimmy Fallon, matching every single word flawlessly.</p>
<h2>When Hudgens brought the Friends theme song back to life</h2>
<p>If you were all about TV in the 2000s, Hudgens&#8217; singing mojo should ring a bell. The <em>High School Musical</em> sensation was not just any star–she was truly inspired by Celine Dion. Flashback to 2017, when she was out promoting her TV series <em>Powerless.</em> Now, this is where the plot thickens–her appearance on <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon</em> turned into an outright musical treat. They were perched on a couple of stools and gave the audience a tuneful ride with their rendition of &#8216;I&#8217;ll Be There for You&#8217;.</p>

<p>The interesting part? They gave the theme song a unique twist, slowing it down to tug at those heartstrings. Well, that day marked one year since Hudgens&#8217; father, Gregory Hudgens, passed away. The music wove a heartfelt tribute. On top of that, on the very same day of her father&#8217;s death, she had to step into the spotlight for NBC&#8217;s <em>Grease Live!</em>. Fallon, on the other hand, is a total jack-of-all-trades, and singing just happens to be one of his many talents.</p>

<p>Hudgens is all about stretching her acting muscles, and what is more exciting than snagging a role in the next <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/">Will Smith</a> flick?</p>
<h2>Hudgens gears up for a thrilling new adventure alongside Will Smith</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-vanessa-hudgens-to-reunite-with-will-smith-and-martin-lawrence-for-bad-boys-4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanessa Hudgens is joining the cast of <em>Bad Boys 4</em></a> alongside the legendary duo of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. The film, directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, follows the massive success of <em>Bad Boys for Life. </em>Moreover, it grossed $426 million globally. The plot is a well-kept secret, but with the same production team and Hudgens&#8217; star power, anticipation is soaring for Kelly to revive her role.</p>
