Galleria kept them together. They made her out to be bossy and controlling but she was doing what leaders do.

They was considering taking Jackal's offer to turn them into Milli Vanilli and didn't have Galleria's back.

@@illusionzzzz Three movies and the Cheetah Girls never gotten their big break. Nothing came of the competition in Spain. And they had to compete for a role in a Bollywood movie. Chanel got the part but turned it down. Dorinda was better off going on tour with the Gold Medal Crew in the first movie 🤣 Aqua should have focus on school as well. Chanel should have pursued a career in fashion or just went solo.

Apparently, the Cheetah Girls weren't so friendly off screen, and frequently butted heads. That's likely why Raven Symone didn't return for the third instalment.

[@PinkPopcast]

That’s so sad to hear 😢

[@notyouraveragebear9326]

@@PinkPopcastto give you some better context on this, ALL 4 Cheetah actresses(minus Chanel and Aqua who were already apart of a REAL pop group named 3LW before this film) met on this movie and loved their time filming. They became real close during the pre/post production and promotion of the film. At the same time, already famous actress Raven Symone became THEE RAVEN SYMONE that same year on Disney channel and was booked and busy!!! 3 years later when it was time to film the 2nd movie in Spain, the other girls stayed close, became a “real group” signed by Disney and did some singles and Christmas tours. Because of that bond, Raven was on the outs a bit BUT actress Chanel and Dorinda were still cool with her. ALLEGEDLY it was the Aqua actress that was making it rough to be around during the 2nd movie. Allegedly they fought or something but either way, she made it very uncomfortable for Raven during the time and that’s part of why Raven didn’t do the 3rd movie. Which wasn’t that great mostly because of her absence. But don’t let this deter you from enjoying the 2nd movie because it’s honestly the BEST ONE of the 3.

[@jaao3414]

So I don’t know if anyone else mentioned it but the movies are based off of a book series!! I was obsessed with them after this movie came out and i believe the author was a producer on this (as was the great Whitney Houston!) In thr books there are 5 girls, as Aqua has a twin. They moved to New York with their father. The books all tell the girls POV and different storylines. Galleria and Chanel are childhood besties because their moms are models; Dorinda is a foster child but also biracial(half black, half white) in the books, and she later learns that she has a full white sister who was adopted into a wealthy family; Aqua and Angie povs, I don’t remember much, but I think the girls spent a summer in Texas with them to compete in a competition in their hometown; Chanel took ballet and got back into it, but starved herself and had to go to the hospital in one book. It’s been a loooonggg time since I’ve read them, but I believe this is the closest ‘adaptation’ of one of the books (the girls getting discovered by a shady record producer) but the other movies did their own thing after this one.

Alongside HSM 2, I believe that The Cheetah Girls 2 is one of the best sequels from all the disney channel og movies, I would adore if you react to it, the songs are just incredible and so is the plot.

[@_surayya_]

there's nothing more beautiful than a sing-along moment where benji's fully in character + hitting high notes and the music takes a hold of rizzo even though he doesn't know the words. i also thought i had seen cheetah girls, but i think it's probably bc the music videos were always on. the only post-hsm movies i can think of that were this good are lemonade mouth (all the songs are STILL bangers), jump in, let it shine, and twitches too (the first one was pre-hsm). also, idk if this is your vibe, and it's kind of a long movie, but i'd love to see y'all watch dreamgirls (the one w jhud and beyonce). it's def sing-along-able! also kind of hilarious that one of the main conflicts is who wrote the songs, but their best song cinderella was already a hit TWICE with other groups before them! but we did get 2/3 members of 3lw so i'm not mad at it.

i bought a CD player last year just so i could listen to the soundtrack bc it is nowhere on streaming 😭

[@peachynene3447]

Thatll forver be crazy cause this is one of the most iconic soundtracks from Disney. We can stream the HSM soundtrack why not the CG one?

I remember me and my neighbors would have concerts on the front porch singing cheetah girls songs for our parents 😂😂 It had been so long since i watched it, a few years ago a friend of mine was like hey lets watch it and i was galaxy brain 🤣 unlocked so many memories

At the 10min mark I fell in love with yallz dynamic. So funny. Love it!

[@manuelagaviria5542]

Amazing reaction! This movie still holds us. I never fail to cry when Dorinda tells Chanelle that she's a foster kid, and then Chanelle with her mom. Those scenes always get me. Please watch Cheetah Girls 2 and 3!

It’s like you knew I re-watched the movies and have been religiously listening to the songs in my car😊

[@PinkPopcast]

We must honor your religion!

A bit of behind-the-scenes info: Solange was originally supposed to play Aqua, but she couldn’t due to scheduling conflicts, which explains all the Texas and hot sauce jokes. So Adrienne suggested Kiely from her singing group, 3LW, to take the role instead.

[@ravensmallwood4258]

Actually, the hot sauce is from the books

[@morsidlamini1224]

lmao every time you guys mention the age of a movie I chuckle because you said the movie was 21 and could drink now and I went " but I already can drink and I'm about to be 21🤔 soon ?.......oh yeah ! .....I'm not American😌 " 😂😂😂. also can we talk about how they really didn't rate my girl raven in this movie ?! . her character was everything and serious about the career 😂😂
