I'm sorry, but this was TOTALLY different without Raven.


From the second movie, to this one, too many differences, it's not even the same. Cause face it, without Raven, there isn't much talent. It was a bore throughout this whole movie.

EXACTLY MY POINT.

Life is good I can't complain, I mean I could but no one's listening. =/

i thought it was better...I'm not a huge fan of Raven's acting or singing...soo i guess it's all subjective.
In terms of their not being as much talent...Raven's released plenty of albums and has never made it as a musician...two of those three other girls made millions off of their music.
Possibly Raven is the better actress but she doesn't carry the ensemble...

I beg to differ about their careers. The reason Raven's solo career wasn't as successful as TCG was because her record label didn't promote her well enough.

I think you're forgetting that Raven was the reason TCG even became popular in the first place. When the first film came out, not many people new who Adrienne and Kiely were (3LW wasn't that popular), and Sabrina was practically a nobody. That's So Raven was really popular at the time and she was the biggest factor in the movie's promotion. If it weren't for Raven, the other girls wouldn't have "made millions off their music" because the whole franchise was founded off of Raven's popularity with Disney Channel viewers.

I agree with the other posters about the movie being bad without Raven. The storyline and music were bad to begin with IMO, but it was especially bad without Raven.

I personally think that Raven and Adrienne kind of balanced out each other's voices in the songs. Without Raven's voice there in the 3rd movie's songs, Adrienne's voice became extremely annoying as it's all you could hear in EVERY song.

I'm glad Kiely/Aqua got a bit more attention in the film, and that may or may not have been different had Raven been there, but I think it would be worth the risk.

Yea i didn't even bother to watch the damn thing cause i knew it wouldn't be good w/o Ms.Raven Symone i mean even critics didn't like it they said the same thing we sayin that it sucked and it wasn't good w/o Raven. they thought they can do it w/o raven well they thought wrong!

Raven made them be such a big hit both TCG 1 and 2 the 1st one got 6.5 somethin million viewers and soundtrack was double platnium makin it the biggest sellin album from Walt Disney ever and the 2nd one got 7.8 million viewers on the premire of it more than any program on Tv that day and soundtrack was certified platnuim.

As for this one it was the lowest rated premiere for a film in the series eventho they got over 6.2 million views it still tanked.

Personally I preferred the film without Raven- she is a good actress and singer, I liked her in That's So Raven but I always found her character Gabriella very annoying! I actually thought this was the best Cheetah Girl movie, I didn't really like the others although the songs were good- I thought this one had more of an interesting storyline.

I waited for u, why didn't u write me? I wrote u 365 letters, I wrote u everyday for a year!

I missed Raven; I enjoyed CG1, enjoyed CG2 even better - but sorry CG3 DID NOT need to be made.

AGREED. i actually havent even seen the movie. once i learned raven wasnt gonna be in it i wasnt interested. the only reason i might see it is sabrina bryan, since she's so cute and pretty. but other than that i dont care, raven was the leader, it feels weird without her.
