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.
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.
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.
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 :-(
That's some stuff, why did Nicole have her own bus, her own manager, sang 95% of the album, and made more money than the other girls, I see why the other girls had animosity towards her, the record label showed favoritism, for sure.
You sound so beyond dumb. It’s literally in their CONTRACT that Nicole would be the lead singer and the others except Melody were hired as DANCERS. No one but you idiot, uneducated “fans” has a problem with this. Ridiculousz
@@a.j.1819 they weren’t all hired to be dancers. Melody was a very mediocre dancer. She was hired as a vocalist and all the girls said Nicole demanded the spotlight and the record label said that only Nicole can talk. And if they wanted Nicole to only sing lead then she should have just went solo in the first place? Not make a whole group and just have 1 person sing? Also Justin Timberlake was the lead singer of NSYNC but ALL the guys of NSYNC had their time to sing
@@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.
Melody reminds me of a young Jessica Simpson - she definitely has a voice, but she doesn't know how to actually use it. The constant over-singing and caterwauling was way too much.
@@onedollarbleach6891 Talking about 'over singing', [whatever that means] like you know what it means, so i take it your a great singer who is able to criticize other singers?
Nicole didn't actually leave the group though like Camila did. She was doing her solo music in 2007, but she was still a part of the group. It was the other girls who left first.
This is why I LOVE Little Mix. There’s not really a clear or even unspoken leader in the group. When they perform, they stand as one and take turns sharing the spotlight as they sing their individual verses.
Marco A The difference is they were hired as backup dancers. They are a burlesque show turned group with Nicole as the lead singer. It is what it is. I can’t be mad if I was hired to sell oranges but my boss don’t let me sell apples.
@@aigulyam.8316 I believed that Camila was the worst singer for that group. Ally, Normani, and Dinah were the best but Camila always got the shine. It sucks.
3:13 melody was like “I gonna overshadow this bitches at least on this 6 seconds I’m getting this spotlight” lol and she killed it, why they never user her vocals on the records???
She did on Buttons, Beep, I Don’t Need A Man, Watcha Think About That, Painted Windows, Top of The World, Takin Over The World, Sway, Hot Stuff, Bite The Dust, and We Went As Far As We Felt Like Going.
She sounds like Xtina's problem - where all they want to do is belt 24/7, but Melody doesn't seem to have much variety. She turns every song into an R&B melisma track, which doesn't work when you're trying to get a pop audience or create a mood or vibe for the track.
@@xejelahit worked tho.. that genre was still very much alive during the time. But yeah, most of their songs sound very much rnb infused. “When I grow up” was their only song where it was truly just pop.
Says a lot about how they treated the Dolls. Part of this is probably due to Nicole Scherzinger's lack of star quality and poor career decisions but considering the allegations recently you can't help but suspect that these are considered/treated like shit inside the music industry i.e. they've got zero respect even if they're the ones bringing in the money. Which is pretty damn wrong if you ask me...
I would never want the pussycat dolls to reunite. It was frustrating enough watching Nicole sing all the time while knowing Melody had such a great voice. No need to experiance it twice.
@@ov7spears sometimes I really don't get why that happened, I mean, look at Little Mix and Fifth Harmony nowadays, all the girls sing their parts, you can hear all the voices in the song. I loved and I still love PCD, but watching the group was quite frustating since everyone could clearly see that even the backup voices were Nicole's. I always got kind of upset to see all the girls dancing their asses off and Nicole - most of times - simply walking on stage.
please melody was barely a shadow which is why they kept her in the back ...the money men kept nicole in front she was the group ..she sand she didnt call the shots
Melody had a great voice indeed. She simply didn't know how to control it.. all she did was yelling and " waving " her voice. It seemed that she's one of those who thinks that to sing well, you've gotta yell
I think nichole finally realized that although she was deemed the leader, the girls were such an Integral part of why the group was successful. Communication could have really saved the group. Based off of the girls solo tracks and the quality of their voices, its insane that they weren't showcased more. Melody had a very good voice.
It seems that Girls groups or any group went through similar issues. Danity Kane, Pussycat Dolls and Fifth Harmony (yes I said fifth harmony) The pattern is the same.
Alexzandria Hall of course 5h camila for the life of me I don't know why people love her voice all she does is runs and those runs aren't that good she had a big head and thought she was abovethe girls And Karma is a bitch and camila will get hers.
The label was stupid. Of course Nicole is talented but focusing all of their time on her was a mistake. They could’ve built the other girls up to make them more popular and potentially have even more spin offs
paloma diaz Probably because she was the only black one and I don’t mean this in a bad way. You have Nicole who’s obviously your lead, two blondes, one red head, and then Melody. 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). I’m so sad they didn’t have a longer career 😭
I hate the fact that the other girls could sing and they used her for vocals and only she was Singing, reminds me of What's happening to Fifth Harmony, how they gave Camila all the solos when she was in the group.
At least in Fifth Harmony everyone is singing instead of just giving one of the girls all the attention. Camila wanted to stay in the group while doing her own thing but the other girls didn't like that so they kicked her out.
@@kaoshi_kutie Thanks! I just got finished making some more spelling and grammar corrections to the original statement. I corrected it before and after I submitted my response the first time, don't know why it didn't impute the accurate word...smh.😮😥😚😉😊💖👍
Now, Ms. Empressive, you know I love it when you make these documentary/biography type of videos! Can't be hooking me and then have me waiting for the next one.
MrJTYoung7 idk,maybe she needed someone to reign her in, cuz I've heard her live and sometimes she good and sometimes she's a bit much. There's no doubt that she has the pipes.
Homework Assignments She introduces herself and thanked her for family and friends for supporting her even though she didn’t get featured/ lead roles. She also told the kids to reach for their dreams bc her and Ashely are fulfilling theirs.
She was shading Nicole by saying "even if I'm not featured" because by Jai Ho, it was PCD ft Nicole Scherzinger... Their label was so toxic. Nobody could happily work in that environment
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. But that is the mistake of many a singer in girl groups,
No matter how beautiful or great singer you are, if you don't have this charisma you will never get people's attentions.. Obviously Nicole has that charisma factor..
yes with same Nicole policy and shading other girls.....im pretty sure they are back for fans rather than for money ,bcause they cant be paid more than Nicole as backup dancers.
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.
@@charmcaras3161 Sort of, still, only Nicole sang, even on that Meghan Trainor song that supposedly featured PCD, it was just Nicole again, which is also why Melody said she didn't do the reunion, she wanted to sing or she wouldn't do it. And then the virus, so we don't even know if we're gonna get anything after React. So it was kinda Nicole coming back while the others don't get to do anything again.
Apprently the industry put pressure on Nicole to sing lead which put stress and pressure on her . The industry was not being fair on melody ,carmit , Ashley, jessica and Kimberley. The way the girls were being treated was so unfair .
@@SMJSelena Not all of them had bulimia. This body type is attainable with the right diet and exercise program for the majority of people without having to go completely plastic. They look healthy, fit & natural
Why? That’s so rude. Nicole was hired to be the lead singer. The other girls were hired to be backup dancers. If they don’t like it, they shouldn’t have signed the contract.
@@jessicasifuentes9605 Then why weren't they billed as "Nicole and The Pussy Cats"? Maybe if management made their intentions clear, the group would have been less upset. Don't you think it's because the management was being shady that it caused problems in the first place?
Luckey F. Starr And the rest never got too far either. Not much karma fyi. Nicole didn't need a group in first place. She sang Phantom of the Opera proving she's got great range in singing.
I LOVED the Pussycat Dolls, but hated how Nicole was the only one singing. Looking at K-pop groups, they have EXCELLENT singing distribution. If they have a group with 13 damn members, ALL 13 sing!!
Nicole was already in her mid to late 20's during PCD, she knew she was getting old so she basically made sure she was the center of attention in order to fast track her career.
BluGyal That’s true and she was already in a girl group before and shared the limelight but knew it didn’t work for her . So when the PCD came around it was time for her to take center stage .
You're a fucking imbecile. The people in charge put her as lead for a reason. She wasn't in control or didn't have a voice in how things went most likely until they gained popularity. I didn't even know the names of the other women. They weren't significant enough. That's probably what the people at the record label felt also which is why Nicole's name is most remembered. Hell who seriously remembers the other girls?
I always loved Melody the most but Nicole was definitely the best singer. Nicole has one of the best voices I've ever heard, and she can sing any genre. Too bad about her personality. Melody is still my fav.
blackfemme I love Little Mix. They’ve been my favorite girl group for a while. I think they all love each other and know that they’re stronger together as a force. Also, I think that none of them are insecure. They remind me a lot of The Spice Girls.
Of course she sang most of the vocals on the album anyone could hear it lol I always knew something was up when I heard Nicole's vocals on all the songs
@@billyswifey2 true but at least some other guys had their chance. Everyone knows Gary Barlow was the lead singer in Take That but everyone knows Mark, Howard, Jason and Robbie cos they all sung.
You forgot about the one time robin antin made that show search for the next doll, the winner was supposed to be part of the group but then only did one performance and left.
@@ov7spears Yeah the girl was suppose to be a part of the group, but in an interview she said she left because she was suppose to be a glorified backup dancer for Nicole and she said she wanted to sing.
I just want to say Nicole is sooo underrated and soo talented.... She should be bigger. I remember going to their concert in Lebanon when i was 8,i was obsessed with them... But i grow up out of it
@@livewell-xt5xr X Factor UK, The Masked Singer, Australia's Got Talent -- you call that "wasn't successful"? She might not be your perfect definition of success, but you CANNOT discount her achievements as a solo artist just because.
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.
You will thrive if you have this charisma star factor without even trying hard.. Yes they are beautiful and they can sing but they don't have that charisma thing.. Obviously Nicole has that factor..
The pussycat dolls was never about singing from the start, it was about dancing. So I don't know why those other girls thought they should get to sing, the label only wanted one singer.
That would make sense if they had band music. Nonetheless, a girl group with a lead vocal and glorified backup dancers as backup vocalists is basically a performance band, a band for entertainment. You know what I mean?
Always loved Melody, and that moment when she finally lost it when they were opening act on Britney’s Circus Tour. One of the groups best song is “Painted Windows”, love that Melody actually gets to sing there.
7 лет назад+419
Danity Kane next? Destiny Child maybe? We all know their story, but shoot. Who cares.
SHÁE ADÜ there was a show called the search for the next Pussy cat doll I believe. It was to find someone to replace Nicole i think. The girl who worn Aisha I believe she was a mother. I read somewhere that she left them before even doing a song because she wanted the spotlight
+Alima Wilson Asia was the winner of the show. And she was a new member not a replace for Nicole. Asia and Carmit left the band before Doll Somination.
But I bet yall are still fans of beyonce and don't mind that beyonce treated the girls in her group like crap and wanted all the attention on her. But it's okay for beyonce because she has hits lol
I mean tbh she was carrying the group MElody could sing but couldn't dance Carmit danced better than se sing and the rest of the girl were backup dancer Nicole could do it all good
Hmmm she's solo now and where is she? 😂🤣😂🤣😂 She needed them way more than they needed here. In a sea of talented females artist, she's just another regular girl. The other females in the Dolls made her shine.
I never liked Nicole since she was in Edens Crush back in the day. Even then I remember an episode where she criticized the other group members and hogged the spot light. She is a talented woman but definitely has issues.
I think she might be quite insecure actually but it comes across as ego. I mean she had bulimia always had to have the spotlight like she was scared 1 of the other girls would steal it off her she could have been the lead singer she has a great talent but she definitely should have gave the other girls a few verses here and there, like the song "tainted love" where its shared out more equally sounds way better.
I love the Pussycat Dolls I don't think it's Nicole Scherzinger fault it's the label fault they wanted her to be the star of the group I'm happy they good now
ILoveToLaughHaHa yes you right this reminds me of The Supremes Diana Ross was the lead singer and the other girls was her back up singers I Love The Supremes but Diana Ross was the star of the group I love Diana Ross too the label wanted her to be the star and she became a superstar she's an icon she's a legend she's a queen she's one of my favorite all-time and The Supremes is one of my favorite all-time
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.
I like a bunch of songs on doll domination but PCD was a fantastic album. I ho early believe that the group would have been successful with or without nicole.
I hope that the issue has been resolved and anyone should be given a highlight that they deserve since day 1 because if they don't, this group will be outshine again. Hello! we're in 2019, people and perceptions had been changed a lot.
The real reason Carmit left was because she sang the "let it go let it go" part in "I don't need a man" But the record producer was there and told the camera man to focus on Nicole.So she got ghosted. the same thing happened in the end of stickwithu, for the "come on " part. They had a fight at LAX and she marched out like in the end of Buttons video and never came back.
I loved PCD. At the time just like everyone else I wondered why the other girls never got any shine. Sad how things ended. I'm still surprised that Nicole never blew up like PCD did. She had bops too. One video that was crazy was when PCD were performing at Fashion Rocks and you can see Nicole and Melody fight for the spotlight and at the end you can hear Melody screaming into the mic cause the mic were low as hell that you could barely hear her. Hopefully they can get back together and do something. I love these videos. Keep it up!
Do you realize that the other girls just danced while Nicole was responsible for everything? For example, while on singing tours to Britain, Nicole single-handedly rewrote Jai -Ho by A.R. Rahman to make it into a PCD hit. Imagine her doing that in the presence of the other girls when they're relaxing, goofing around and having fun. She obviously needed her privacy to take on her massive amount of responsibility.
Well, if they didn't have an ambitious person like Nicole, PCD would be have soon faded into oblivion just like Eden's crush,, Girlicicous and the like.
Sad part is this all could have been avoided. Who ever was in charge of this group didn't play it smart at all. I know they get compared to the Spice Girls but SG were way smarter with their stuff. They made sure all 5 was different in their own way and got shine. Like seriously if you not going to let them sing at least them talk. Home girl said they didn't even wanted her to speak!! Even if Nicole is the lead singer you shouldn't have market them as Nicole and them girls behind her....smh
I loved the music but I just hated how the other girls neva had a shot of singing and they was always in the background neva understood how they was called a Girl Group...
@@dangerislander lmao. K-pop is lame as fuck. Is it true about the pros thing? I wouldn't put it past them. They are trying so hard to be pale and white...which they will never be no matter how hard they try. I just cannot stand those kpop groups, singers.
mram3610 colorism runs deep in Asian countries too and some of them are naturally pale. the prostitution is true but I’ve read it usually happens to really poor kpop groups that need money
you should have add Jessica's interview about the 2nd album and how she sung lead on Bottle Pop only to listen to the cd and found out Nicole replaced her vocals ... also how Nicole cut all the solo numbers on the Doll Domination Tour expt for hers... maybe add how Jessica got bigger as a solo act having 4 #1 dance billboard singles ... and how Ashley blew up in the UK as a solo act
I'm a str8 up hip-hop, jazz, reggae, and garage rock/post punk kinda guy, but i low key LOVED PCD!!! They were all sexy in their own way, and i actually knew all of their names cos i liked how it was 6 of them lol. I always saw Nicole as the "Beyonce," and Melody the "Kelly Rowland" of the group. 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
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!
The Pussycat dolls never seemed like a group to me. They just felt like Nicole's backing dancers. I can't remember the name or face of a single one
El John me either! I used to here them on the radio all the time and once I seen their music videos, I was like, damn they have THAT MANY MEBERS?! Lol
El John same

People used to complain about Beyonce being the center of Destiny Child and having all the attention and benefits, but this was much worse.
7Mushrooms7 That's true. At least Beyonce didn't keep her distance from them.
at least in DC they took turns singing, DC3 that is
atleast you can hear what everyone sounded like in DC... PCD was just sad
Nicole is very talented but she didn’t seem ready to make that jump like Beyoncé.
Beyonce was front and center cause her big fatass would take up either side!! 😂😂😂😂
I didn't know Nicole could sing like that. That opera clip was impressive
Before the Pussycat Dolls, she was classically trained
I don’t really like her tone but I can agree that she’s definitely an amazing singer
@ Haha I was about to make the same comment 😆
Oh yes she's gooood!
She’s an amazingly well rounded singer! Very underrated!
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.

Nicole didn't actually leave the group though like Camila did. She was doing her solo music in 2007, but she was still a part of the group. It was the other girls who left first.
This is why I LOVE Little Mix. There’s not really a clear or even unspoken leader in the group. When they perform, they stand as one and take turns sharing the spotlight as they sing their individual verses.
Marco A The difference is they were hired as backup dancers. They are a burlesque show turned group with Nicole as the lead singer. It is what it is. I can’t be mad if I was hired to sell oranges but my boss don’t let me sell apples.
@@mims1992-y6c fifth harmony, all of them can sing, but Camila always was on the spotlight
@@aigulyam.8316 I believed that Camila was the worst singer for that group. Ally, Normani, and Dinah were the best but Camila always got the shine. It sucks.
@@OurLove4Dance because camila can sing live
@@Itachiisbetterthanu And sound like a dying cat?No thanks lmao
3:13 melody was like “I gonna overshadow this bitches at least on this 6 seconds I’m getting this spotlight” lol and she killed it, why they never user her vocals on the records???
She did on Buttons, Beep, I Don’t Need A Man, Watcha Think About That, Painted Windows, Top of The World, Takin Over The World, Sway, Hot Stuff, Bite The Dust, and We Went As Far As We Felt Like Going.
She sounds like Xtina's problem - where all they want to do is belt 24/7, but Melody doesn't seem to have much variety. She turns every song into an R&B melisma track, which doesn't work when you're trying to get a pop audience or create a mood or vibe for the track.
@@xejelahit worked tho.. that genre was still very much alive during the time. But yeah, most of their songs sound very much rnb infused. “When I grow up” was their only song where it was truly just pop.
Nicole did all that and now her career consists of doing talk shows and trying to be on music shows as a judge.
Says a lot about how they treated the Dolls. Part of this is probably due to Nicole Scherzinger's lack of star quality and poor career decisions but considering the allegations recently you can't help but suspect that these are considered/treated like shit inside the music industry i.e. they've got zero respect even if they're the ones bringing in the money. Which is pretty damn wrong if you ask me...
I would never want the pussycat dolls to reunite. It was frustrating enough watching Nicole sing all the time while knowing Melody had such a great voice. No need to experiance it twice.
I assume that if the pussycat dolls reunite that this time all the girls will sing.. that would be their first condition to return.
@@ov7spears sometimes I really don't get why that happened, I mean, look at Little Mix and Fifth Harmony nowadays, all the girls sing their parts, you can hear all the voices in the song. I loved and I still love PCD, but watching the group was quite frustating since everyone could clearly see that even the backup voices were Nicole's. I always got kind of upset to see all the girls dancing their asses off and Nicole - most of times - simply walking on stage.
please melody was barely a shadow which is why they kept her in the back ...the money men kept nicole in front she was the group ..she sand she didnt call the shots
Melody had a great voice indeed. She simply didn't know how to control it.. all she did was yelling and " waving " her voice. It seemed that she's one of those who thinks that to sing well, you've gotta yell
@@jojoaugustus1383 Seen her sing some oldie pop tracks. She 100% knows what to do with her voice.
I think nichole finally realized that although she was deemed the leader, the girls were such an Integral part of why the group was successful. Communication could have really saved the group. Based off of the girls solo tracks and the quality of their voices, its insane that they weren't showcased more. Melody had a very good voice.
That wasn't even a group it was Nicole and the backup girls
Wait rly or are you being sarcastic
Yep. It wan't a secret. They chose Nicole to be the lead and all the girls knew that. They were just bitter because they weren't as well rounded.
It seems that Girls groups or any group went through similar issues. Danity Kane, Pussycat Dolls and Fifth Harmony (yes I said fifth harmony) The pattern is the same.
Alexzandria Hall yess Dawn got a big head and her solo career is very mild and meek
Alexzandria Hall of course 5h camila for the life of me I don't know why people love her voice all she does is runs and those runs aren't that good she had a big head and thought she was abovethe girls And Karma is a bitch and camila will get hers.

Day Will Come what the fuck are you talking about ?
Day Will Come oh i see what you're saying .
The label was stupid. Of course Nicole is talented but focusing all of their time on her was a mistake. They could’ve built the other girls up to make them more popular and potentially have even more spin offs
You're right
They should of had Melody and Nicole would have made killers songs!
But Nicole had the strongest voice and sung most of the songs
@@lizakerr4733 totally agree with
Melody’s Is Strong Than Nicole!!!
Idk why but melody ALWAYS stood out to me, I found her so beautiful ❤️
paloma diaz Probably because she was the only black one and I don’t mean this in a bad way. You have Nicole who’s obviously your lead, two blondes, one red head, and then Melody. 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). I’m so sad they didn’t have a longer career 😭
Yes I know Nicole had all the attention but I thought Melody was so pretty I wanted to look like her 😭
paloma diaz me too
Bec she always scream!
Yeah, she stood out to me as well in their AMA performance, but not in a good way.
Sadly Nicole's career didn't pick up she's wasting her time doing TV in the U.K.
Ayat Mirza bc no one gives a crap about her in the US
Ayat Mirza lol life's a Bitch when your a Bitch I guess
She does xfactor uk and Lord she’s so annoying! She’s too extra
Because her success only with the group,she needs the group,without the group,shes just a shadow.
kdoo neither do we in the uk she’s on the x-factor no one really watches that anymore
I hate the fact that the other girls could sing and they used her for vocals and only she was Singing, reminds me of What's happening to Fifth Harmony, how they gave Camila all the solos when she was in the group.
Most of them were just dancers, only two of the other girls were singers and melody isn't a very good singer
Usher Sylvester McKnight Gill yall nicole fans really have to keep telling yourselves that Melody isn't a good singer don't yall
Usher Sylvester McKnight Gill you lie
Jeremy Collins but Camila has many singles on the charts and cet album is not flopping
At least in Fifth Harmony everyone is singing instead of just giving one of the girls all the attention. Camila wanted to stay in the group while doing her own thing but the other girls didn't like that so they kicked her out.
Maybe it was karma. Nichole didn’t do as good going solo

THIS AIN'T REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, *is* *it* ? 😖
I don't understand what they are saying
Homework Assignments She introduces herself and thanked her for family and friends for supporting her even though she didn’t get featured/ lead roles. She also told the kids to reach for their dreams bc her and Ashely are fulfilling theirs.
Never realised how much Nicole resembles Kim Kardashian a little. Also, I could not understand a word Melody was saying in live concert video.
she also looks like Draya Michele, or Draya Michele looks like her because she's younger.
Chassity Oubre du
"Thanks to my family for supporting me although I'm not featured, you know..."
She was shading Nicole by saying "even if I'm not featured" because by Jai Ho, it was PCD ft Nicole Scherzinger... Their label was so toxic. Nobody could happily work in that environment
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. But that is the mistake of many a singer in girl groups,
She had way too much competition in Edens Crush. Everyone in that group had real, raw talent.
Melody was a waaayyyy better singer Nicole
Amber Horton and everyone in Edens crush sung lead Nicole didn’t like that .
No matter how beautiful or great singer you are, if you don't have this charisma you will never get people's attentions.. Obviously Nicole has that charisma factor..

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 have
@@charmcaras3161 Sort of, still, only Nicole sang, even on that Meghan Trainor song that supposedly featured PCD, it was just Nicole again, which is also why Melody said she didn't do the reunion, she wanted to sing or she wouldn't do it. And then the virus, so we don't even know if we're gonna get anything after React. So it was kinda Nicole coming back while the others don't get to do anything again.
True! Agree
Apprently the industry put pressure on Nicole to sing lead which put stress and pressure on her . The industry was not being fair on melody ,carmit , Ashley, jessica and Kimberley. The way the girls were being treated was so unfair .

Um, she's sold millions of records as a solo artist. In the UK and Europe she's a lot more popular.

I see you are talking about svt
The other ones aren't great singers, some of them are okay but they would destroy de records
That's what enterprises make you think. Separated those members are not valuable
Not always. SISTAR was heavily Hyorin-focused, for example.
K-pop has too many members in some groups lol
I didn't even know the other members sing I just thought they were a group with one vocalist and dancers
さすがナムさん!素敵!(≧∇≦)(≧∇≦)(≧∇≦)
Nicole was already in her mid to late 20's during PCD, she knew she was getting old so she basically made sure she was the center of attention in order to fast track her career.
BluGyal That’s true and she was already in a girl group before and shared the limelight but knew it didn’t work for her . So when the PCD came around it was time for her to take center stage .
You're a fucking imbecile. The people in charge put her as lead for a reason. She wasn't in control or didn't have a voice in how things went most likely until they gained popularity. I didn't even know the names of the other women. They weren't significant enough. That's probably what the people at the record label felt also which is why Nicole's name is most remembered. Hell who seriously remembers the other girls?
BluGyal well now she is dropped by her record label Karma is a bitch
how is mid 20 and late 20s old lol
JLew it didn’t work for anyone. Their record label went bankrupt, and they didn’t get picked up by anyone else.
Can you really consider them a girl group if Nicole did all the voices?
1:27 You know you are oversinging when you add additional runs to a Christina Aguilera song
That was a brutal clip to listen thru!!

I agree. I've heard her solo songs and she sounds much better than she does with PCD. She should have been a solo artist.
Kima Ali yeah with her inconsistent vocals
Kima Ali In ur dreams. Nicole was the queen back in the day.
I always loved Melody the most but Nicole was definitely the best singer. Nicole has one of the best voices I've ever heard, and she can sing any genre. Too bad about her personality. Melody is still my fav.

blackfemme And they still getting checks from their debut songs Wings. I still hear being heard in movie trailers etc.
Not that you know of
gmolina8 we do because they dont have just one lead their equal which i love

@@warxl-i2p her solo singing career was a "big fat flop" that is what the statement meant.
They all have beautiful voices. They really did so much in a 5 year spand. They could have done so much more.. They had potential to be really big.
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.
Nicole pisses me off. The group could’ve thrived so much if they just gave the other girls more attention.
You will thrive if you have this charisma star factor without even trying hard.. Yes they are beautiful and they can sing but they don't have that charisma thing.. Obviously Nicole has that factor..

The pussycat dolls was never about singing from the start, it was about dancing. So I don't know why those other girls thought they should get to sing, the label only wanted one singer.
Usher Sylvester McKnight Gill i agreed they just jelous...about ni nicole...😊
Some of them were contracted as singers though. And if dancing was their focal point why even make them as a girl group in the first place?
True.. Melody was hired as a singer when she auditioned for Robin Antin, sadly all she did was scream and ruin the songs.
EXACTLY! They knew Nicole was chosen to be the LEAD. What did they think that meant?
So why hire 3 singers
Honestly? I never thought they were an actual group. I legit thought they were just her band. Like Maroon 5 or Selena Gomez and the Scene.
That would make sense if they had band music. Nonetheless, a girl group with a lead vocal and glorified backup dancers as backup vocalists is basically a performance band, a band for entertainment. You know what I mean?
The first main lead singer was Melody, who performed lead on "Big Spender" during their first Award Show performance.
Thank you for your hard work; I can tell you put a lot of work into these videos.
Thank you so much!
Always loved Melody, and that moment when she finally lost it when they were opening act on Britney’s Circus Tour. One of the groups best song is “Painted Windows”, love that Melody actually gets to sing there.
Danity Kane next? Destiny Child maybe? We all know their story, but shoot. Who cares.
SHÁE ADÜ there was a show called the search for the next Pussy cat doll I believe. It was to find someone to replace Nicole i think. The girl who worn Aisha I believe she was a mother. I read somewhere that she left them before even doing a song because she wanted the spotlight
+Alima Wilson Asia was the winner of the show. And she was a new member not a replace for Nicole. Asia and Carmit left the band before Doll Somination.

Hmmm she's solo now and where is she? 😂🤣😂🤣😂 She needed them way more than they needed here. In a sea of talented females artist, she's just another regular girl. The other females in the Dolls made her shine.
Her solo music is so wack. Just a bunch of generic pop songs. For some reason she shines a lot more in a group but solo she just falls flat.
Anozira Erised She's far more talented than you think. She sang in West End and Broadway.
Philemona Myshkin It isn't really about talent. We know she's talented, but her solo career doesn't show it as much.

I never liked Nicole since she was in Edens Crush back in the day. Even then I remember an episode where she criticized the other group members and hogged the spot light. She is a talented woman but definitely has issues.
I think she might be quite insecure actually but it comes across as ego. I mean she had bulimia always had to have the spotlight like she was scared 1 of the other girls would steal it off her she could have been the lead singer she has a great talent but she definitely should have gave the other girls a few verses here and there, like the song "tainted love" where its shared out more equally sounds way better.

Karan Sohal omg I did, her music is great too
So you just gonna sleep on Jessica .....hmmmm!!!
Love Melodys voice
Wasn’t Nicole trained in opera since small? Because if so, that would make her the best singer as she would have a superior vocal technique.
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.
I like a bunch of songs on doll domination but PCD was a fantastic album. I ho early believe that the group would have been successful with or without nicole.
doll domination did great dumbass
Fast forward to 2019 and they are going on tour...
I hope that the issue has been resolved and anyone should be given a highlight that they deserve since day 1 because if they don't, this group will be outshine again. Hello! we're in 2019, people and perceptions had been changed a lot.

i literally always thought the pussycat dolls was just nicole the singer, and dancers. i thought they were literally a dance group :/
that’s crazy because you’re prediction was right. there’s about to be a PCD reunion tour in 2020!
I loved PCD. At the time just like everyone else I wondered why the other girls never got any shine. Sad how things ended. I'm still surprised that Nicole never blew up like PCD did. She had bops too. One video that was crazy was when PCD were performing at Fashion Rocks and you can see Nicole and Melody fight for the spotlight and at the end you can hear Melody screaming into the mic cause the mic were low as hell that you could barely hear her. Hopefully they can get back together and do something. I love these videos. Keep it up!
She had her own tour bus. That's fucked up.
Do you realize that the other girls just danced while Nicole was responsible for everything? For example, while on singing tours to Britain, Nicole single-handedly rewrote Jai -Ho by A.R. Rahman to make it into a PCD hit. Imagine her doing that in the presence of the other girls when they're relaxing, goofing around and having fun. She obviously needed her privacy to take on her massive amount of responsibility.
Walk in. Fuck shit up. Walk out Right. Because that's what she pushed for.
Well, if they didn't have an ambitious person like Nicole, PCD would be have soon faded into oblivion just like Eden's crush,, Girlicicous and the like.
Walk in. Fuck shit up. Walk out That's simply speculation, which can't be proven either way.
Well, the world always was and always will be driven by ambitious people. You can't change that.
Im Nicole Ruffin and these are the Temptations
Ohhh good one what's their names.
I just died...oh my gosh
😂😂😂😂
Sad part is this all could have been avoided. Who ever was in charge of this group didn't play it smart at all. I know they get compared to the Spice Girls but SG were way smarter with their stuff. They made sure all 5 was different in their own way and got shine. Like seriously if you not going to let them sing at least them talk. Home girl said they didn't even wanted her to speak!! Even if Nicole is the lead singer you shouldn't have market them as Nicole and them girls behind her....smh
Ex -fucking- actly!! If they would make a star for each one of them and give them a CHANCE, they would profit more for having 5 succesful solo stars.
I loved the music but I just hated how the other girls neva had a shot of singing and they was always in the background neva understood how they was called a Girl Group...
I DIDN'T KNOW MELODY COULD SING LIKE THAT WHY WAS SHE NOT SINGING MORE WTF
In their album PCD each girl had their own solo song check out "space" it's Melody's solo song one of my favorite off the album.
Wasnt there a member who said this was a prostitution rung? How come no one talked about it, i dont know if its true but this is serious allegations
Erena Belaqise omg your right!!!!! I saw the clip here on RUclips why didn’t they bring that up for at least a mention!!
Are u telling me the record company pimped out the PCD? Sounds like thr kpop industry
That was kaya
@@dangerislander lmao. K-pop is lame as fuck. Is it true about the pros thing? I wouldn't put it past them. They are trying so hard to be pale and white...which they will never be no matter how hard they try. I just cannot stand those kpop groups, singers.
mram3610 colorism runs deep in Asian countries too and some of them are naturally pale. the prostitution is true but I’ve read it usually happens to really poor kpop groups that need money
you should have add Jessica's interview about the 2nd album and how she sung lead on Bottle Pop only to listen to the cd and found out Nicole replaced her vocals ... also how Nicole cut all the solo numbers on the Doll Domination Tour expt for hers... maybe add how Jessica got bigger as a solo act having 4 #1 dance billboard singles ... and how Ashley blew up in the UK as a solo act
Mykayla Ruiz can you direct me to this interview. I can't find it
Mykayla Ruiz wow
Who’s here after their reunion announcement
Well Nicole definitely doesn't need to do solo any time soon because she flopped.
βΣΔUTΨ GΩDDΣSS EXACTLY... karma!!
Jordan Williams yupppp, Karma at its finest😌🍵
nah, she has an international solo career. Who needs the US when you sell millions overseas?
askizzo do you have receipts?
She flopped more than once lol
I'm a str8 up hip-hop, jazz, reggae, and garage rock/post punk kinda guy, but i low key LOVED PCD!!! They were all sexy in their own way, and i actually knew all of their names cos i liked how it was 6 of them lol. I always saw Nicole as the "Beyonce," and Melody the "Kelly Rowland" of the group. 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.
you don’t think this was sexualized? lmfao take off ur nostalgic goggles
Anyone here after their reunion??
My new favorite channel
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
💯💯 💯💯 💯
Nicole wasn't the leader, the record company was!
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
She deserved it
Please make more of these mini documentaries. They're amazing.
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.
Ms Jaye they were all gorgeous
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.
Latoya prettiest in DC
That one blonde girl was the hottest.
But Ashley was the prettiest...
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!
I wish Melody had sang more honestly. her voice is amazing.
