This is the story of four teenage singers–Galleria (Raven), Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), Aqua (Kiely Williams), and Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan)–who call themselves the Cheetah Girls. When they are discovered by record producer Jackal Johnson (Vince Corazza), he wants the girls to have a different look, different songs, and a different name. Galleria becomes caught up in the fame while she is insistent on keeping the Cheetahs together the way they were before Jackal. This leads to a huge fight where the girls must decide whether fame or friendship is more important. (Review by LW)
