We had some marvelous outtakes, but the producer had destroyed them all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We set out to capture what was happening, and then we cut that into the series.
All the writers and producers around us that gave us the environment where we could play. They were able to provide us with a place where we could take chances to play with things, go against the grain and do things that people don't always do.
What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.
We were the victims of the new producer but what annoyed me was they told the press we were leaving before us.
Over the course of those 12 episodes we discarded what didn't work and kept what did and that refined it.
In the best of all worlds, the producers would take some responsibility for the kinds of things they're putting out. Unfortunately, they don't.
We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane.
We'd have made more, but I kept forgetting to write songs down.
People used to think we just faked all that stuff... it was all written, rehearsed. The fact that it looks as cobbled together as it does is just that we weren't very good.
I think The 'Cheetah Girls' was originally supposed to be one film, but then it became two and three, which was a huge deal. But like all Disney franchises, they have to come to an end at some point. I was so grateful we went out with a bang. I think we died off peacefully.
