The In Concert: The Party's Just Begun Tour – The Cheetah Girls

After two albums, tween favorites the Cheetah Girls decided to release a recording that documented some of their live performances. But because the production, even with the intermittent screaming girls, is so clean and polished, In Concert: The Party's Just Begun Tour pretty much works as a best-of collection, taking the biggest songs ("Strut," "Dance with Me," "Girl Power," "Cheetah Sisters") from the trio's two albums, adding only a little bit of staged dialogue, a new song ("Falling for You"). The Girls are solid pop singers, and either thanks to work during or after the performance, or their own very practiced voices, they sound remarkably similar to how they do on their studio discs. Add a seven-song DVD set of the Cheetah Girls performing their most famous tracks, and you've got a good release for any big fan of Disney pop, and especially of this particular group. If you don't fall into that category, however, In Concert: The Party's Just Begun Tour is better to skip over. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
