* Throughout the film, we see Lloyd get treated as though he's a terrible dancer who is holding Andrew back. This can make it seem strange when he manages to keep up perfectly during the much more complicated dances at the masquerade ball and at the very end of the movie. A closer watch reveals, however, that Lloyd was ''always'' the one with more talent, being less stiff while dancing and being a decent beat-boxer as well. This all adds up to the fact that Andrew and Arthur, being jerks, adopted a NeverMyFault attitude and took to blaming him ''regardless'' of how talented he actually was. In cases where he could dance without their influence, he thrives.

* In contrast, the songs characters are ''forced'' to sing have nothing to do with them; Kadee despises "Love You, Hate You" and Android is pretty much just a cover-band, with none of the artistic meaning behind the music and being purely manufactured for popularity's sake- showing how Kadee's father doesn't understand her, and how Arthur is cheap and uninterested in actual creativity. Similarly, Arthur sold Charlie's mother's piano and purchased a karaoke machine- another symbol of him prioritizing pre-written and already-popular music over artistic integrity.

* During the performance of "Not So Different At All", Kadee is visibly impressed, which is fitting because the song is about herself and Charlie, even if she doesn't realize it. However, another character who's impressed is Lloyd, who is ''also'' "not so different" from Charlie- they both suffer from the same {{Abusive Parent|s}}, both have the same ambition, and both get pushed around and mocked constantly. It only makes sense for Lloyd to be just as interested in the song- he can relate to it as well, especially when realizing that Charlie's the singer!

* At the end, Lloyd manages to go from being the second fiddle to his brother and an apparently bad dancer to one of Charlie's backup dancers, showcasing actual skill and timing that he lacked before. At first, it's just a surprise to see him randomly becoming good at dancing. On a second viewing it becomes more obvious: It's not Lloyd who's failing, it's that the dance isn't a very good one. Note how ''Andrew'' is never assumed to be the issue, and it becomes far more likely that Lloyd was ''always'' the more talented dancer, but was stifled by his family and unable to use his talent.
