Kind of but not really, they were 23 and that was too "old" for them, plus the twins were in college at the time. Also I think at this time the twins wanted a bit more mature roles.
@@toastdude1587 1: 2003 2: 2006 3: 2008 Age turned in Movie Release Year Adrienne: 20, 23, 25 Keily: 17, 20, 22 Sabrina: 19, 21, 23 Raven: 18, 21 While it’s obviously possibly true that Tia and Tamera personally wanted more mature roles, adults played teenagers in the Cheetah Girls as it was. But then again, the Mowry sisters were 27 playing 21 year olds in Twitches. This part is just to say, they were working with Disney on a movie with kids and teens. This movie also released 2 years after the first Cheetah Girls movie. Now, if they don’t find themselves to have the best singing voices, that’s a whole other story.
@@niicolee06 I feel like it did, mainly because they didn't want to play roles like that at this time. In 2002 they were in this movie called Hot Chick's and it was more mature. I think they outgrew Cheetah Girl esque roles at the time. But in 2005 they played on Twitches because they liked the supernatural elements of the movie and the characters in the movie are 21. So they aren't playing 14 year olds like how they would've in the Cheetah Girls.
Solange Knowles Awww originally set to play aqua. It went as far as her reading with the 4 girls but Matthew wanted her to promote Solo Star instead. ❤
I felt like the twins from Before Dark who MODELED on the front cover as Angie and Aqua in the books should've been casted for the movie. Even though I love Kiely, the Before Dark girls would've sang and danced great, now I don't know about acting skill per se but Kiely was still a beginner at acting when she got her role. Idk, things work out for a reason though.
Yes! I read and was a big fan of The Cheetah Girls book series so when the movie came out I remember feeling confused and annoyed that Angie was cut out. I didn't understand that decision to not have the twin characters in the movie if they were in the original books.
I agree, but it seems like it was so easy for them to make the decision to drop Angie, since she didn’t even have a POV in the books. Ofc that’s expected since the twins share the same life, but still…
Aquanette's personality changed in the sequel. In the first movie, her character was more aggressive. In the sequel, her character has changed her personality. It might be based on the twin.
Lol, I recall being kinda pissed when the movie first came out because I felt cheated out of the sister. By the 2nd movie though, “growl-power” had my bedroom walls and me in a chokehold 😂✨🐆
Lol, I don’t think so. Something tells me that had they casted Angie, Aqua would have been more like the books and not as mean as she was in the movies, so it would never come to her trying to kick out anyone.
Wow I actually didn't know any of this. Never knew Solange was originally casted as Aqua. Never knew about the books or that Aqua was supposed to have a twin
Tia and Temera was the perfect age for this role at the time 😭

@@toastdude1587 Most people that play teenagers are in their early 20’s though and around that time they did end up doing a different Disney movie.
@@toastdude1587 Them being 23 had nothing to do with it. A lot of people on Disney Channel were in their 20’s playing teenagers.

Good call cuz Keily wouldn't have been able to play twinth. She would have left the directors with broken promitheth promitheth.
😂😂😂
this made me chuckle
Tia and tamera would have worked perfectly smh
And twitches came our two years after that so they were the perfect age of 19
But they biracial
@@jor9343 did I do my math wrong bc they were born in 1978 so they would’ve been 25 for TCGs if they were in it.
But can they sing ?
@@Missmagazinebura Yes look up them singing. Especially Tamera she sounds like a Disney princess
shoulda been tia and tamera, they can sing
Solange Knowles Awww originally set to play aqua. It went as far as her reading with the 4 girls but Matthew wanted her to promote Solo Star instead. ❤
I wish Solange was Aqua instead
I wish we got both Aqua and Angie, and that the movies were more like the books
@@ravensmallwood4258the first and second movie were amazing in their own right. Tho I wouldn’t mind a series based on the books.
TIA AND TAMERA WERE RIGHT THERE🤦🏽♀️
Disney said they were "too sophisticated" for the role
They were too old
The author Deborah Gregory should have just made Aqua and Angie fraternal twins if she couldn't find age appropriate identical twins.

I believe you in Tia & Tamera would've played the parts of Angie and Aqua so perfectly
Or the twins from ATL, Malika and Khadijah Haqq

I read the books back in the early 2000s.. so glad someone else pointed that out

Didn't know about a book wow
I did.
I didn’t even know there were cheetah girl books
There were books?! Wtf wow smh
And Whitney Houston was the co executive producer too which I didn't know 😂 this whole time
@@alexusbrooke executive producer mainly means they just gave money 😂 but yeah I with Whitney had a hand in the music
I didn't even know about the books, and now, I must read them
my jaw dropped because I thought she was talking about Keily initially lol. I only recently found out there was an original film for Cheetah Girls
Angenetta I had this exact book and the brown one as well I loved those books growing up
Also Chanel was a professional ballet dancer at Ballet Hispanico and Dorinda met Mariah Carey
Aqua (Kiely) would kick Angie out the group as well!
Lol, I don’t think so. Something tells me that had they casted Angie, Aqua would have been more like the books and not as mean as she was in the movies, so it would never come to her trying to kick out anyone.
And throw a piece of chicken at her 😂
@@slevingarganera8375 see...im not doingh this with you today! 😆
😅😅😅
Also, they were supposed to be the best singers in the group. Not the lead singers, mind you, but the best 😂
Cheetah Girls were supposed to have 5 members?
@@abc_jv_xyz yes. The books did have 5, but the movie cut it down to 4
Wow I actually didn't know any of this. Never knew Solange was originally casted as Aqua. Never knew about the books or that Aqua was supposed to have a twin
Yes! I had the book
Wait. They had books?
It would have been interesting to tia and temera in this because they could sing and dance, but both are vally girls and wouldn't fit the character
No I did not know that 😮
why are they wearing zebra stripes tho? 😅
Yes I knew! Love it!
Sure did it was in the book though
Tia and Tamera could not pull off Aqua. I love them, but I don't see it. Just because they're singing twins doesn't mean they're right for the role
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember thisss!!😂😂❤❤ the books and everything!!
❤❤
I’m happy they didn’t cast just biracials
