FIRST-TIME WATCHING *The Cheetah Girls 2* (Reaction Commentary)

[@natyc19]

It bugged me how the girls thought Galleria was being a worklic. Like YALL ARE THERE FOR WORK

[@PinkPopcast]

Hahaha right? 😄

[@sugarbabyesquire107]

Literally

[@crissyjayfae]

Even as a teenager 😂 I was offended for Galleria and ready to fight Chanel over the disrespect

[@takijahrichardson8752]

Galleria being the only one strutting around Barcelona in stiletto boots🤭

[@PinkPopcast]

Right!? Queen ✨✨

[@jadebel7006]

She said recently in a interview its coz Disney execs always complained about her weight n even photoshopped her in eps of that so raven to be slimmer, so she was so self conscious she'd wear heels to appear slimmer

[@Itzezyyyy]

And they fully didn't include it in the edit

[@takijahrichardson8752]

@@jadebel7006 fuck those execs

[@LayRoyalty]

This is the best one out of the 3. Also let's get into how Raven was and the only one dancing in heels and she was skipping through the road in Barcelona. That's why she's the Beyonce of Disney.

[@PinkPopcast]

Omg she killed in those heels!

[@notyouraveragebear9326]

@@jadebel7006She never said that was the reason why she wore heels in THIS movie. Let’s not spread lies and change history. Everything else you said about Disney trying to make her seem skinner is true but that had nothing to do with this movie and her being in heels.

[@victoria139]

"I don't know how they survive without Galleria" they don't they immediately crumble without her and barely pull it together in the end

[@lacp1975]

17:36 Belinda was a huge child actress in Mexican telenovelas then transitioned into music and became a huge Latin pop star... Around the time she did this film, she released her sophomore album and featured Raven and Drew Seeley in her videos. She and Raven are good friends until today

[@jimerodriguez8332]

This movie promoted in my country as Belinda's big collaboration with Disney and she was the reason why I watched first this movie and then the 1st one XD

[@thewizof0275]

The phrasing of this sounds like she and Raven stopped being friends the day of this drop.

[@chihuahuagirl128]

This is my favorite cheetah girls movie ^^ Also, their roles: Galleria - Writes the songs Chanel - Provides vocals (for obvious reasons) Dorinda - Choreographs the routines Aqua - Designs the outfits BOOM! 😆

[@PinkPopcast]

Thank you 😂

[@keilasanchez1518]

It’s funny you say that cause in the last movie in the song, “Im the one,” I always laughed when aqua said “no one can act like me, I can fall to pieces and make you believe in almost anything…” and I was like when did you display this skill ma’am 😂

[@uziiiiiii]

This tore me up as a child when Raven (Galleria” didn’t come back for the third movie Kiely Williams was reportedly a mean girl and all the other cheetahs followed her around and excluded Raven 🥲

[@PinkPopcast]

😞😞

[@Dayzconfused]

And Raven ended up becoming close friends with Belinda during all of this. Belinda even had her cameo in one of her music videos and I remember them both going on ig live together a few times.

[@justlive2809]

i though raven and Adrienne were close

[@uziiiiiii]

@ it was whole drama back in the day go read the articles it was a mess fr Adrienne was more of a follower than aggressor she might have changed !

[@milo-ru3hc]

Kiely had a history of mean girl behaviour! She also bullied Naturi Naughton out of 3LW!

[@filmfangirls9163]

This one was my favorite lol no joke the night I watched this and heard "Strut" I ran outside and danced and sang it in the rain while I was grabbing the mail 😂

[@PinkPopcast]

Haha yes! Amazing 😂

[@tiamarrow6366]

I actually hated the girls in this movie because realistically speaking while they all would’ve wanted to be out relaxing and partying…..Galleria was the only person who was actually working and doing what they actually went to Barcelona to do, and had it not been for her doing all of it…The Cheetah Girls would’ve been cooked in this competition.

[@PinkPopcast]

Yea definitely frustrating

[@JunipersLog]

It’s because of this why canonically that’s the reason she wasn’t in the third. That’s my personal head canon and I refuse to let in the facts. 🙉

[@DevelopingCharacter]

At least Dorinda had some choreography and Aqua had concepts of outfits 😂

[@taiyonatiare7918]

I can see being frustrated bc they were being annoying but they’re supposed to be teenage girls - it’s realistic that they’d be getting side tracked. Especially for Dorinda who grew up as a poor foster kid - imagine how cool that trip would’ve been for her and she was out getting dancing opportunities. I can’t hate them for acting like kids bc they were.

[@GoddoDoggo]

I might agree with you, if it weren't for the fact that they're all fifteen years old.

[@realgranolaappleraspberry]

I remember the day this movie came out! My sister and I got snacks, cheetah print PJs and made sure we were in front of that TV and didn’t move until the movie was over. Was such a fun time 🥹

[@PinkPopcast]

Omg that sounds so fun!

[@keenan7754]

Okay but why is Rizzo literally glowing in this video?! I hope it's indicative of him being in a good space mentally💞

[@PinkPopcast]

🥰🥰🫶🫶

[@MelanieG-i1g]

This movie meant so much for me 😭😭😭. I'm from Guatemala (between Mexico and El Salvador). I grew up watching Belinda, she is still very famous and relevant in LATAM, during this era she was THAT girl for many children and teens.

[@PinkPopcast]

Omg that’s so awesome! What an epic crossover collab

[@MelanieG-i1g]

​@@PinkPopcast It was truly a magical moment for many children.

[@rfrolicarts]

Growing up, my sister and I shared a room and a CD player. I haven't thought about these songs for years, but it turns out I know every word. The nostalgia is killing me.

[@PinkPopcast]

😂😂 probably played that cd on repeat haha

Kenny legit saved all these musicals, literally an upgrade from the first one I mean the fits, choreo and music is just so good. Only good thing from the last movie I’d say is the music but that’s about it lol

[@thisisavivistanaccount7866]

Kenny just has the magic touch! He just knows what works when it comes to performance/directing/choreography

[@erinlev12]

Belinda’s still a HUGE pop and mainly pop culture icon here in Mexico, we have this thing where we call her our patron saint bc she gets all the rich guys for a few months then dumps and escapes them after a few good gifts lol Her sophomore album Utopía was iconic in the early 2000s too, great songs!

[@IconVlog.]

This is the greatest Disney DCom to ever exist and I will fight about it 😭😩

[@jadebel7006]

100%

[@KrystalAnn0688]

[@rugofbugs]

I saw Cheetah Girls 2 before I even saw the first one, and it's still my favorite one, lol.

[@PinkPopcast]

It’s so good!

[@sarahbosch9660]

I first saw the third one. Since there was no 1 or 2 in the title my twin and I didn't know it's was a franchise and were like "who's this galleria they are talking about? Why does the blonde girl have a Spanish boyfriend that never shows up?" Then we watched the second one and years later we found the first one xD

[@Forev3rYoung1947]

I was so sad when I found out that behind the scenes, Disney was basically fat shaming Raven because she gained weight for this movie. Disney definitely has it's problems but aside from that, I love this movie! (Secretly! ...don't tell anyone 🤫😂)

[@PinkPopcast]

Exactly, I feel that

[@desolationsamiga]

YES! They CLEARLY had no idea how to dress a bigger figure and she ends up drowning in all that fabric!

[@Theye101499]

Fun fact, Raven and Kiely Williams got in a heated altercation that almost turned into a fist fight in spain. She talks about it with Kiely on Instagram live. It's very funny.

[@PHSDM104]

His first DCOM was actually hocus pocus I believe! He made soooo many iconic movies

[@notyouraveragebear9326]

@@Bunnibabigirlthat wasn’t a DCOM. Hocus Pocus was a theatrical film released in 1993. DCOMs started in 1997

[@DesXD]

HSM actually came out a few months before Cheetah Girls 2, so *that* was the start of it. I vividly remember Vanessa Hudgens’ Come Back to Me music video being a big deal and premiering right after Cheetah Girls ended, so that’s the only reason I know which came first lmao.

[@PHSDM104]

Chanel's African windmill arms during "Step Up" are my Roman Empire! 🤣

[@PinkPopcast]

Aweome 🎶🎤🎧

[@Itzezyyyy]

Aqua is supposed to be the designer/actress or whatever they make her in the next movie and Chanel is the singer which is why her and galleria make a great duo bc she writes and produces the music

[@0104brit]

The way all the lyrics and dance moves came flowing back once I started watching this move!! The music is a bop 🔥 🔥

[@PinkPopcast]

Yess🙌🙌

[@shaniavázquez]

I love how the talented Belinda is in Cheetah Girls 2! 😊 Her singing voice is beautiful! (especially in harmony with Adrienne Bailon during “A La Nanita Nana”) I loved how she got to sing Spanish in this movie, since it’s rare to hear someone speak a different language in a DCOM. She sang in duet with Drew Seeley in the song “Dance with Me” (the song Dorinda and Joaquin danced to) No lie, when I younger I always loved singing & rewatching “Why Wait” I always wanted to perform/dress like her in that song. I also really liked the pink hat haha 🎀 Lastly her singing in “Amigas Cheetahs” was always one of my favorite parts of the movie 🎶 Excuse me for the long comment, I just really love Belinda 🤭🩷

[@PinkPopcast]

Belinda is amazing, we’re super surprised she hadn’t won before this movie 😅

[@ODHREM]

Como persona que creció conociendo a Belinda desde chiquito, esto fue uno de los crossovers más épicas que vi a esa edad

[@JerseyQuinn]

Aqua (the southern girl from Texas) is Rizzo's favorite? OMG I never would've guessed (sarcasm). The hot sauce is strong with this one 😂😂😂

[@lanidickens]

I went to Barcelona in 2019 and was absolutely listening to Strut all over the garden museum they sing in towards the end of the song. This movie was my entire reason for going there and it was awesome!

[@stephaniefrost4910]

13:22 speaking of Drew Seeley, have you guys ever thought of reacting to Another Cinderella Story? It's free on KZbin rn and I rewatched it after not seeing it since I was little, it's a cute dance film!
