Suppose you had the responsibility for assembling music for a motion picture, and you were told that the film was a comedy set among high school students competing in a cheerleading contest, with a largely white squad pitted against a largely black one? Your approach would be obvious, wouldn't it? You would divide the tracks up between contemporary teen pop and contemporary R&B, and you would look for songs that borrowed from cheerleading chants, right? If so, you probably would come up with something that sounded a lot like Bring It On's "music from the motion picture" album. (Actually, one track, 3LW's "'Til I Say So," is not from the film.) Among the teen pop entries, the most prominent is B*witched's cover of the Toni Basil hit "Mickey," which recreates its cheerleader sound, while the obvious emphasis track among the R&B songs is Blaque's "As If," presented in two versions, one of them featuring Joey Fatone Jr. ~ William Ruhlmann
