The group has launched a clothing line, several perfume collections, doll lines, room decor, a book series and a successful video games line. The group has had three successful nationwide tours, Cheetah-licious Christmas Tour in 2006, The Party's Just Begun Tour from 2006-2007 and One World Tour in 2008. The Cheetah Girls grossed over USD $26 million from touring and that it's before their last tour One World, and their merchandise has grossed over USD $17 million in revenue. The group has won seven Radio Disney awards and one 'Communications Award'.
The Cheetah Girls started out as a 2003 Summer Line-Up movie for Disney Channel. Within the two years of release, it gained one of the biggest fan franchises in Disney history as well as on the soundtrack charts having a double platinum soundtrack and high-rated DVD release. After all of this success three of the original members Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams and Sabrina Bryan decided to reunite and record and a song for the Disneymania 3 CD. Raven-Symone however declined saying that "I want to work on my solo career right now. I loved being a Cheetah Girl but I don't want to be know as 'Galleria from The Cheetah Girls’, and as 'Raven Baxter' forever. Right now I just want to be Raven-Symone." Adrienne Bailon (who at the time had a reoccurring role on That's So Raven) claimed to "understand" but still said she was "disappointed" in Raven for not continuing what she started. However, the 3 remaining Cheetahs recorded I Won't Say (I'm In Love) for Disneymania 3. They also kept their names from The Cheetah Girls movie. Kiely was known as "Aqua", Adrienne was known as "Chanel" and Sabrina was known as "Dorinda". After seeing how much of a response I Won't Say (I'm In Love) received, Disney quickly approached the Cheetahs for a recording contract. Raven was again offered her spot back in the group and again declined. This upset Adrienne so much that she quit as her role of Alana on That's So Raven. The newly reformed Cheetah Girls signed the contract for one album with Walt Disney Records. The stage names Dorinda, Chanel and Aqua were also dropped at this time. Right before the release of their debut album they released a single for the Chicken Little soundtrack called Shake a Tail Feather, a re-make of an old Ray Charles song. Their debut album was a Christmas album titled Cheetah-licious Christmas. They also made a music video for their debut single also titled Cheetah-Licious Christmas. They performed this single at the Walt-Disney Christmas Day Parade and were featured in The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. After the success of their Christmas album they were reported as signing to Hollywood Records (Owned by Disney but for more successful artists such as Aly and A.J. and former Cheetah Raven-Symone). At this time a Cheetah Girls television series was in the works as well. It did however convince former cheetah Raven-Symone to return for television and film purposes only. The show filmed a total of 4 episodes when it was put on hiatus reason being That's So Raven being renewed for its fourth and final season. The Cheetahs (Including Raven) did however quickly meet up again for a sequel called The Cheetah Girls 2: When in Spain and recorded a soundtrack for the movie also. It was set to debut on Disney Channel on August 25, 2006. Raven however left the Cheetah Girls after filming wrapped claiming "Lots of work" that had to be completed. The Cheetah Girls went on a two month tour in mid-September of 2006 to promote The Cheetah Girls 2: When in Spain album. The newest sequel The Cheetah Girls 3 was given the name The Cheetah Girls: One World and was filmed in India. It premiered on August 22, 2008 with its soundtrack released on August 19th. The movie debuted with 6.2 million viewers, the lowest rated premiere for the series. In the fall of 2008, the group went on tour to support the One World movie, which would be their last tour together. In January 2009, the group officially announced its disbandment.I even heard the ONE WORLD somewehere but i can't remember when i heard. Still today they are the best best ever.
All I Want For Christmas Is You
The Cheetah Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby

I don't want a lot for Christmas
I don't have extensive desires for this celebration
There's just one thing I need
I only have one thing that I require
I don't care about the presents
Material gifts are insignificant for me
Underneath the Christmas tree
Even if it's beautifully wrapped under a tree
I just want you for my own
I only want your company and love for myself
More than you could ever know
Your presence and affection means everything to me
Make my wish come true
Please make my desire a reality
All I want for Christmas Is you
Having you by my side is all I want this Christmas
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't intend to demand too much from Santa
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
I'll patiently wait for my favorite time of the year
Underneath the mistletoe
I'll wait under the mistletoe for the love of my life
I won't make a list and send it
I won't make a catalog of things to receive and send it to Santa Claus
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
Asking Santa to bring me things- I think I'll skip!
'Cause I just want you here tonight
I'm feeling lonely and I just want you to come here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
Cuddle me and wrap your arms tightly around me
What more can I do
I've done everything I can, what else can I do?
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
I don't need anything else, just you
All the lights are shining
The lights are beautifully illuminating the streets
So brightly everywhere
They are so bright that they are hard to miss
And the sound of children's
The sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
Is ringing all around me and fills me with cheer
And everyone is singing
As everyone joyfully sings along
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
I hear the bells ringing from Santa's sleigh
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Dear Santa, bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me
Would you kindly bring my significant other to me?
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
I don't have an extensive wishlist for this holiday
This is all I'm asking for
This is the only thing I want
I just want to see my baby
All I wish is to be with my love
Standing right outside my door
I just want to open my door to see my love standing right there
Oh I just want him for my own
I want to be with him and nobody else
More than you could ever know
I need him more than he could ever know
Make my wish come true
Make this little wish of mine come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
My only wish and desire is to have you for Christmas
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is just you baby
