    When I was younger, I could never understand why Nicole was always the only one singing/in the center. People would say because the group was so big, it would be hard to give everyone a part. Since getting into Kpop, I've learned that EVERYBODY can have a part, if the production team is willing. Some groups have 9 girls, but they each still have their time to shine. PCD had so much more to give, it's sad that they've disbanded, but I don't see them coming back as successful as they were in 2009. It's a different time and pop music has changed a lot in these last couple of years.

      Josie Exactly. Girls' Generation THE most iconic group in kpop history had 9 (8 now since Jessica left in 2014 tho 😪) members and they all got their lines and time to be front in center in every single song and choreography they've had. And it's not like there isn't a vocal gap between members like Taeyeon (known for her vocals) and Hyoyeon (known for her dancing), there is. Their producers just give them parts that best suits their voice. Hell I'm also into Twice and people swear up and down none of them can sing but they all get their parts.

    • @JosiePosieWosie012
      @JosiePosieWosie012 7 лет назад +65

      aiken relkins, And even though Hyoyeon is most well-known for her dancing, they allowed her to debut as a solo artist and so have several of the other girls. They each have their own solo activities, as far as I understand and can somewhat stand on their own while remaining in the group. This is what's missing in a lot of American groups.

    • @ericwinter2005
      @ericwinter2005 7 лет назад +44

      Josie It works in kpop, but it doesn't work in western pop. Westerners especially Americans do not like girl groups post 2008. Even when PCD came out there were few notable groups and their success was few and far between. We had PCD who were successful for all of one album and Danity Kane which had a couple of top 20 hits but were largely unsuccessful.

    • @smartlikewoah
      @smartlikewoah 7 лет назад +98

      Josie Oh please that "it's hard to give everyone a part" excuse is bullshit lol. That's not an excuse for one girl in the group to sing almost 95% of each of their songs. And yes kpop is an example. But with western groups look at Little Mix. Those girls get equal parts in their songs, so it can be done. They just wanted to focus on Nicole. And yes I agree I also don't see them coming back successfully. Like you said the pop music scene has changed and I hate to say it but girl groups aren't as successful as boy groups these days. It's unfortunate :-(

      @@mattsamuels2237 Exactly! NSYNC is a good example of a group that showcased each members' talent and kept everyone happy. Pussy Cat's story is very similar to Destiny's Child. Beyonce was treated like the lead singer before she had a solo career. Like Nicole, Beyonce had separate management from her group members since her family ran the show. There's a huge difference between having a group leader vs making the other members feel like they're being used for someone else's career. Ok, so I can't name all the other Pussy Cats but then, I can't name any of Nicole's solo songs either. For all her talent, she didn't do so hot on her own after having a couple of runs on Broadway.

Originally there were two redheads, look at the Dont Cha video (There were seven girls, but then they dropped it down to six. Then the remaining redhead occasionally died her hair a very dark brown). She was their token black girl and aesthetically she stood out a bit more. I think they also gave her a bit more shine because she sang occasionally (look at the I Don’t Need A Man video, she gets more closeups than the other girls excluding Nicole when she does the adlibs).

    People don't know that Melody was the original lead singer of the group but the record company thought she was too young to carry a group. Nicole was brought in because she was a "vet". She was supposed to be in BEP taking their original lead singers place before Fergie after her stint in Eden's Crush. Even in Eden's Crush Nicole wasn't my favorite. She was stiff and over sang.

    I get both sides. Nicole wanted to be a solo artist but ended up in a group with the biggest responsibility(whether fair or not) so in her mind, she deserved to be front and center and probably felt like she was giving the girls a free ride while they just complained. But the other girls also wanted to be treated like artists, not backup dancers, it's like any job, if you're working but all your efforts are benefitting someone else and you aren't building respect and influence for yourself, you would leave. I don't see a reunion cuz I don't see Nicole and them splitting parts in a way that makes everyone happy.

    They opened for Christina Aguilera on her Back to Basics tour, and I was there. Nicole Scherzinger's voice was legit (I'd imagine it still is, but that was a decade ago so I can't positively say). She blew me away. I don't doubt that she was a diva - that was evident in 2007. Until then, I really just thought of them all as superficial pretty girls, but seeing them dance and hearing their vocals live was impressive. I was hoping you would include a bit about the struggles Nicole has faced in releasing music; specifically, she wanted to do a cover of Led Zeppelin and maybe some other classic rock bands and was denied multiple times. It's a shame, because the sound was good. You can find videos about it on RUclips. Also, interested to see your take on the Danity Kane break up, and then comeback, and then punch, and then subsequent crumble.

      I found some of her rock song covers. It really worked for her. Also, she got het start singing for the alternative band Days of the New or something like that. They had one song that did moderately well, but Nicole had left the group before that because her boyfriend (lead singer of 311) wanted her to go solo, I felt bad for her because he was really controlling. Find the Behind the music for Nicole. It really opened my eyes.

    The problem with PCD is that the label wanted to put out the narrative that Nicole was the reason they were successful, when in truth the reason is because of their gimmick. They lost their shine after the first album. Their second effort was a flop. Nicole doesn't have star power, as evidenced by how she's failed to breakout with anything whatsoever since. They vastly overestimated her value as a pop star.

Even though Nicole could sing, and was gorgeous, Melody was the better voice and she hardly got shine. Just like LeToya Luckett from Destiny's Child, if you do research she was actually the soprano of the group and voice but she only did back up for the group. Melody and Jessica were my favorite. I thought it was sexy how Carmie was the red head. Every 90s/00 girl group had a red head lol. Brings back memories when pop music wasn't really that bad. Everything is so dark and sexualized now.

    That’s why I say there’s a difference between a lead singer and a leader of a group. A lead singer is all about themselves and a Leader knows when to step aside and allow someone else to shine.. If your group members are not shining then you are not doing your job as leader I learned that from KPop. Also I noticed that Nicole tried to make them look bad by saying she recorded the album then brought it to them. That’s how Nicole wanted it to be she is the leader if she wanted those girls to be apart of it she would have mad sure they were. But Nicole is not a leader she is a lead so yea

    She didn’t make it big as a solo singer because of all the issues and hatred thrown at her after PCD, sad that an amazing singer like her was so underrated. Glad they’re back! #PCD2020

    Nicole was highlighted because of her beauty. She's gorgeous. They always push the prettiest one to the forefront like Beyonce in Destiny's Child.

      Jessica Marie Nicole was exotic, she fit the look of the hip hop/r and b vibe they were going for better than anyone else, aside from Melody, who couldnt dance. I think there being two blondes and two brunettes/redheads as the glorified backup dancers for the two ethnic looking singers was done by design.

    Damn, Melody can really sing! I also didn't realize that Nicole can sing classical styles of music. Also, I never realized that they sold that many albums!
