Common Sense Note
THE CHEETAH GIRLS SOUNDTRACK delivers pleasant rock with messages of diversity and empowerment. The only downside is the overt commercialism, with TV show, video and book tie-ins.
Families who listen to this CD could talk about whether or not the CD made them want to see the movie. If they saw the movie, did that make them want to buy this CD?
Common Sense Review
Reviewed By: Kathi Kamen Goldmark
There's not much to this 8-song CD of tunes from The Cheetah Girls' Disney Channel movie. Perky and upbeat, with a squeaky-clean message of diversity, independence, and empowerment, the girls make fine role models for young fans.
Girls who loved the TV movie might be a bit disappointed in the CD and its packaging: there are only eight tunes, no liner notes or personal information about the Cheetah Girls themselves. Raven, Sobrina Bryan, Adrienne Bailon, and Kelly Williams do a fine job on vocals, but lackluster production values make the whole thing sound pre-fabricated and unexceptional.
The Cheetah Girls are adorable, and it's great that their "girl-power" message comes through loud and clear. In a perfect world, more attention would be paid to the musical presentation as well. Young fans deserve better than this. We need role models with musical, as well as social integrity.
