exactly.. the disrespect.. when they started i understand the contracts and they didnt have a say in whats going on, but after putting solo albums and having found success outside the pcd. why in the hell would they go back to be in nicoles shadow again? after all the me too movement, all this women movement. they are gonna allow this treatmnt again???? ilove jessica and ashely but im dissapointed because they are superstars and have great voices.. they look like scared litttle puppets
brendaepps210 that was actually a reality show in the UK where pop stars tried to sing opera. She didn’t do well and left the show early. 🤷🏻♂️ her vocals is not unique. Too Xtina-ish.
I think rather than protection she is valuing herself. Sometimes it takes quite a journey of us trying so hard to prove to the world what we ought know for ourselves which is YOU ARE EXCEPTIONAL YOU NEED NOT TRY. It's funny once you figure that out the world takes notice... Ironically at that point you could care less if they do or not right? But that's kind of the point...😊
Melody was a hidden gem honestly. She didn’t have the experience or training Nicole had, but she made up for it with a lot of raw talent. Buttons was one example. She absolutely murdered the adlibs in that song, and even tho we didn’t hear much more of her, she shined when we did.
I support Melody's decision. Because she had been through a lot, needed a therapy and all, so she definitely DOES NOT deserve to be treated like a glorified backup dancer ever again. All the best to you Melody!
Gerald Kim Gutierrez you dumb fs the other girls are literally Nicole’s background dancers so it shouldn’t be called girl group if it’s only one person sing. Simple logic. Look who is the dumb ones, lol

They were "EVERYTHING" all right ... EVERYTHING you'd expect to hear in a musical nightmare. She sounded like straight-up shit. They were screechy, off-key, and messy as hell whenever she tried to replicate them live. No wonder she was Nicole's backup singer. Whichever parent had the initial idea to call that thing "Melody" truly had one twisted-ass, perverse sense of humor.
@@diyconstruction1147 wrong. When ur in a group the only person that gets attention/spotlight is the lead singer. Had Destiny child not broken up, we wouldn't have known Kelly was amazing on her own😒. All they showed us was Beyoncé & backup vocals.
kimi boo Not true. Beyoncè was the lead but when the group became a trio, we all got to see the difference sides of Kelly and Michelle. They had their own solo verses and they had their own styles.
@@kimiboo8622 yes it ussually is but if a good singer you'll be famous too like fergie of black eyepiece her voice its really talented that's why she became dominant compare to melody its just ordinary who can sing or maybe my voice is better than melody but compare to Nicole she is extra ordinary that's why producers invest in her
Honestly the other girls should be singing too. Thats why the PCD ultimately failed, we dont have any connection to most of the girls and it feels weird.
Melody must've looked in the mirror one day and told herself "If they don't give me my damn lines then I'll just Christina Aguilera the 2 breath parts I get"
She tried to do that at the AMAs, but she sounded like a hot mess. The problem was, she thought she was a Whitney or a Christina, but she was really more of a Mya or Ashanti pushing her little voice to the very brink of its capabilities.
@@markmenez4097 No she doesn't. She has about the same range as both of them. Actually, Mya's is bigger. Mya hit an F6 in head voice back in the day. Melody sounded like a kitten on fire being spun around by its tail when she attempted that little Eb6 in "Space" live. Oh, Christina screams a lot? At least it's generally in key, and doesn't sound thin and shrill like nails on a goddamn chalkboard.
@@Siberian7201 I'm sure they asked for a lot of money...Because it's kinda humiliating going back to this messy 'group' ( that was actually never a group)
Melody was my favorite! I was so sad not to see her in the reunion, but seeing all this makes sense. Her mental health is more important than making fans happy. Gotta do what’s best for you at the end of the day. Definitely gonna support her solo endeavors! Also her singing opera? ARE YOU KIDDING? WHEWWWW THAT TALENT
TBH I don't blame her. Like she said "I was told my time would come and it never did" This reunion would be alll about Nicole AGAIN. Nicole goes on like the others didn't want to sing and she HAD to do all the vocals 🤣😂
After watching the newest live performance, it's all nicole with background singers. And half the live performance it was lip syncing. I do understand that they had alot of dancing, but I'm there at a show to hear you live, not a cd
The way this group was structured has always been wrog to the very beginning. Someone created the PD around Nichole, that's all. She had the right people in the right places who made things this way; they were all very talented each one her own way, Melody had a great voice as well but it's was all about Nichole. Maybe, she had a more striking beauty than the others (which all were so good looking) but not now..now she has a plastic like face, WTF did she do with all the Botox and fillers..she looks a super tightened lizard plus her skin tone is much lighter - I am white (northern Italy) and I will never understand why on earth someone wants to change is own skin tone...we are the way we are and we should be proud of that, if your are born with a caramel skin tone why do you want to bleach it?? Nonsense. Anyway, I'm sure there was a lot of dissatisfaction around and it's a pity. I suppose the Spice Girls (who have marked and era of pop culture for sure) were more balanced with their roles and image because they were structured with a role since the very beginning and they all use to sing (Victoria less..but she was more about her image and it was ok with that)...of course they had their all little dramas but not even close to the Pussycat Dolls's one. Here they really had big drama all along. Glad Melody has found her path and is happier and satisfied.
She was put to the back of most music videos, and if she wasn't behind Nicole, she had no camera time. It took ages for me to tell because the camera switched that much, look at Button and see in the dance routine where she is behind and can pretty much only see her head pop behind Nicole' s shoulder
@@TheKatarinaGiselle look it up. Nicole literally confirmed it in one of those behind the scene interviews. Then built the band around Nicole after they swapped out Melody.
They’re back together because Nicole’s solo career wasn’t as successful as when she was in the PCD. On a side note, Nicole is a successful tv judge but as a singer her biggest success was in the PCD.
yeah i remember she popped a bit and they really tried with that collab with mr. hymen ugh ugh i mean t.i. but i just dont remember much happening after that. plus nics vocals arent all that.
dezinechic saying her vocals aren’t all that, isn’t fair at all Watch her “Don’t Cry for me Argentina” performance and you’ll see how good she really is She has a lot of talent in many things But the other girls in PCD do deserve more shine however
Melody's advice about the group actually taking time to get to know each other before touring, shows that she is a very smart and thoughtful person ..... too bad Nicole refuses to share the spotlight.
Bruno Bracamontes I agree. But Nicole is in her 40s. And shes sooo thin, fit as fuck, but thin. And its hard for a woman to not look a little hollow after 40 when they are that fit. She look good, but definitely different.
I remember that somehow I always skipped tracks to hear her parts, mostly in "Beep" as a kid, I was such a big fan of her, something about her stands out even tho she was in shadow 🙂
Mely G Right, I barely have ever heard any of the other girls showcase their talent. Nicole is talented and fine but it’s truly “unfair” for the other women...
Because Beyonce ACTUALLY KNOWS MUSIC!!! She's very knowledgeable about music! She ARRANGES the music, produces EVERYONE'S vocals! This just shows that ya'll give Mathew Knowles WAAAAAY too much credit! He's hardly in the studio with Beyonce & DC when they're in the studio! He wasn't back then when they were making the Survivor & Writings On The Wall albums! Beyonce had way more creative control than any lead singer of any group at that time! Beyonce had more control musically than Justin, Nicole, Omarion, T-Boz, Coco etc! It was like that before Mathew even became manager!
@Chi Non No one is saying that Beyonce stopped them from singing, we're saying Beyonce had more creative control musically than Nicole as Destiny's Child was getting bigger with each album! By the time The Writings On The Wall came out, Beyonce was pretty much running the show & Bey made Survivor successful enough to get EVERYONE solo deals, Beyonce, Kelly, Michelle & Mathew got a Joint Venture deal & his 1st move was signing Solange to Musicworld! That's more than what Nicole, Justin & Omarion can say, but only Wendy Williams & the rest of the hateful media pushes the "Beyonce is a selfish diva, who left Destiny's Child for dead" narrative, when we know it's bullshit!
I wonder if Nicole even challenged the management and requested that the girls have more recognition? They were the pillars holding her up so I wonder if she even tried to help them
I'm surprised the other girls agreed to a reunion after all the drama that happened 1st time round. Nothing will change they'll still be Nicole's back up dancers.
@mxlbabe The problem was, she thought she was a Christina or a Whitney, but she was more like a Mya or an Ashanti just pushing their voices to the absolute limit. She didn't have the big showy diva voice she thought she had, which is why she sounded like a hot mess live. Nicole was vocally capable of more but actually held back a lot when she was with PCD, and that's why fans that haven't done their homework actually believe Melody is the superior singer.
Tbh, the others girls were probably just as mad but they were too scared to stand up for themselves. Shout out to Melody for pulling through for herself and the rest of the members.
@Roscato Marie For real, how is it even possible to have favourites? It’s 2019 and I still only know Nicole’s name, and I don’t even like her like that.
Florence Michaelson Yeah, group was more interesting to look at with the versatility of Melody's look's. Now It's just regular white girl look. Even though Nicole is mixed, still not enough edge.
I mean, think of it from a business perspective. Melody sounds like a kitten on fire literally every time she opens up that pez dispenser of a mouth she's got. Would that really be a lucrative investment for them to have her sing lead?
Me neither but it's true, she struggled so much when they did live performances. She was always messing up in the choreography and had to practice more than the other girls. They mentioned that alot. Poor melody. She deserves to be heard.
they were formed as a burlesque troupe and not a girl group, so I think most girls were signed as background girls, being dancers while Nicole did singing and dancing
All the dancers with the exception of Kim left though: EVERYONE else was a singer, but didn't get to sing in PCD even if they sang before Nicole was even in the group. Ashley has said that was particularly unfair: she and Jessica basically had something taken away from them even though they were senior to Nicole within the group.
This reunion is still going to be “Nicole and “friends” so I don’t blame melody for not doing it but then again after the stunt she pulled at that award show 🥴
Melody was my favorite doll she the reason why I like buttons so much she was singing her ass off...Nicole didn't make it as a solo artist so now she putting the group back together...
Don't get me wrong Melody can sing, but from a technical stand point Nicole blows her out the water. That being said their label did her dirty and did them a disservice not utilizing the talent of both girls. Major props to Mel for never being salty towards Nicole. That whole group was a mess and they didn't promote individuality with the girls they were definitely a machine for their label to make money and its just an unfortunate truth in that industry.
Melody can sing and even some of the girls can. The thing is, they get out of tune whenever they sing and dance. Only Nicole can sing with stability while dancing. Try watching their live performances.
A lot of artists use playback especially if the song requires a lot of dancing. Please remember, PCD is no longer in their prime years. They are already in their late 30s & early 40s.
LOL no - Nicole has dance TRAINING, but if you want to see someone give hardcore choreo while still sounding great, that's Carmit. Nicole's lack of professional dance experience means she struggles to dance and sing at the same, which is why it made even less sense for her to sing everything. ALL the dance-heavy songs have loads of backing tracks: Buttons, When I Grow Up, I Don't Need A Man, etc. She can do ballads where you just sit/stand like Stickwitu, and the songs that are easy to sing like Dontcha, but Nicole is no triple threat.
I think there's a deeper reason Melody isn't returning. For starters, she's the youngest and joined the group as a teenager so she had to deal with being the baby of the group. Also she lost her identity because she was moulded into something she wasn't. She's a vocalist, not a dancer so imagine not being able to use your strength and only being relegated to a backup dancer, something that isn't even your strongest suit. Once Nicole admitted to doing all the singing on their albums, there was no need for a reunion
@@Private.Jetson especially having to take a back seat, they were lying to her when they said her time was coming. She's older, she's wiser and doesn't need to go back to a time in her life where she was made to be a puppet who danced to Nicole's tune.
Trent Rodgers but the intro performance should have included them all being a lead vocal if they were going to do it right. It only had nicole front and center as usual. Its not happening correctly even now. Melody is right to not want to join.
She was hired to counter the poor singing skills of the girls singing background vocals. And yes, her complexion added to the diversity angle management was pushing for their image.
I actually love Melody’s Independant album! It’s soooo good! She is an amazing singer. You see how they do the black and/or mixed girl in the groups child. (She actually real woke too. I’ve listened to her speak and I’m here for her 🙏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽 do it sis I wish her and Normani all the love and success in 2020)
Nicole is the the all around talent in the group, she's extremely captivating. I dont think people should blame her. But management should've dived things a little better even if it was just album tracks.
So Carmit and Melodie were the only other singers in the group...if you notice (in the early days) they were the only ones with mics cuz they did all the hamronizing and Melodie did the runs on the album. Carmit left the group between the 1st and 2nd album for the same reason Melodie doesn't want to come back. Blame managmeent all you want, but Nicole could have easily checked management as the "star" and she didn't. She actually negotiated a solo project behind the scenes instead.
FYI Carmit is in her 40s (she was 10+ years older than the rest of the girls when the group came out)....still dances her ass off and can sing so to say that Nicole is the all around talent is disrespectful to the other girls
She was captivating because they made her the center of attention. If you look at Nicole in her first girl group from pop stars, Eden's Crush she did not stand out above the other girls because the management wanted all the girls to shine, it really is about how they set it up. Look at Eden's Crush live performance and you will be like wow, I get it now. Nicole is talented for sure, but if you want everyone to shine, you can make that happen.
Melody's singing was always messy, inconsistent, her technique wasn't always there and she often would lose control of her voice. If we're talking about who the BEST singer of the group is in terms of technique and overall control and performance it's definitely Nicole. And Nicole's voice and tone tied with good records means MONEY. People don't realize how good of a singer Nicole is because PCD didn't really allow her to showcase her entire range, but she is an AMAZING vocalist. Melody is good too, she just needed more training at the time and wouldn't have been able to hold her own in my opinion. She would be all over the place.
That’s not true melody deserved a chance and her voice isn’t all over the place even though she was supposed to be vocally trained .She is amazing no lie
Michelle Simbanegavi Melody is no where near amazing. She can sing, but lacks technique and control. Her voice is not pleasing to hear im sorry. I only agree that the label/management could have invested in her, so she could grow as a singer
Aris Rug Melody definitely has control because her runs are very good and so are her transitions and to do that you need to have control which she has and her voice is amazing
@Iris E yes n'sync backstreet boys, they all tried to go solo it didn't work 98 degrees same thing it didn't work and r&b groups do the same one person from the group may have a huge break while the other members falter.
Imagine being yelled to "figure it out" to dance like THAT or you're out. Must be tough for her especially that she was still young. Had their circumstances were a bit different. You know, more fair, more compassion to the girls and more consideration, Pussycat Dolls can be easily the greatest girl group of all time.
I actually didn't realize how versatile Melody's singing was because I just knew her as the girl that had that baby voice in some of the ad-libs. I need to look into her more :)
My eyes always went to Melody and the 2 blonde girls they used to kill the dancing, I’m so shook she said she was never a dancer and didn’t know how to dance 😂
Melody was thee weekest dancer of them all.. But yes she could dance a lil bit 💃and she also needed to improve on controlling that voice. Im shore she could sing wayy better nowadays but idk if her dancing woulda slowed thee dolls down, i mean come on did yall see their new performance... Melody couldnt do that periodttt... Also i have bought some of Melody's music, so no i do not hate her okurrr 👅💢
Melody could not dance at all. The camera would always cut away from her going into dance sequences or have her in the back. She wasn’t a good dancer at all but she was beautiful...
igual Nicole siempre es media reacia a expresar lo que siente... debe ser complejo igual recordar los conflictos que eran obvios del tiempo pasado que perjudicaron a todas... suerte a todos
Nicole is not hypocrite like other girls, bcoz they know the label will never pick back melody but in front of screen they act like that,. If melody also want good album then she must go to Nicole or her husband (bcoz they are good songwriter)
I love your documentaries, Empressive‼❤ It's so in depth and how you support your info with very intricate clips and/or soundbites. It's always brief, but enjoyable to view. Reminds me of "Behind the Music," "Unsung," etc. While I'm happy for the group reuniting because I miss the 90's era of girl groups such as Blaque, Destiny's Child, En Vogue, Spice Girls, Xscape, and so many more. I felt that Ashley and Melody speech was speaking to their adversities behind the scenes. I wish Melody success in all her future endeavors, hoping she finally gets to showcase her vocal range, and sharpen other skillsets that are duller.
Whoa whoa whoa hold the damn phone... Melody can carry a tune, but she does NOT rival Nicole and she’s NO Christina. Melody was very pitchy and rarely hit studio notes, live. That said: good for her. She wasn’t going to thrive in that group it was built around Nicole: I hope she gets a shot to do her thing on a big platform.
That's always how girl bands break up. Currently, Little Mix is the only girl group that is still together. Why? Because they work as a team and don't have a lead singer. That proves my point that lead singers in a band cause problems.
Ikr, I didn't except her to be back. It shows you that white women were using the me too to get some money. And those who got it went away quietly. Sick.
Wow she almost told Hollywoods puppet's secrets. Indeed they are all sex kittens for the elite and they all have handlers. And yeah ppl break down when the mind control stops to work see lovely Britney Spears, I dont even know what they did to her. But Im really surprised she is back. They obviously did program her heavily that she even went back to such a unholy and toxic environment. I mean where else can she go? They all sold their soul for fame and fortune. Wondering what their sacrificed was.
Melody can sing her ass off , but I want her to acknowledge that she shined just as bright during that time ! She was actually my fave of the group ! And she could dance , she might not be a dancer but she became one and she should acknowledge that she is the total package period ❤️ good luck to her !
fAshSon I think the reason why people are hard on her is because she’s seen as the face and even though they all moved on their still put in the back.it also does help that she was in a girl group before this
How do you expect a 19 year old from the age of Nokia snake game to know better? You really sounded stupid here, labels are not your friends and definitely use a lot of shades of grey when they try to lure you in, you won’t see these shades until you stuck on them.
Don't be so naive, Nicole was more than happy to be the centre of attention, and she was a full-on diva. It was always about her solo career... which never took off.
Good for her! I love that PCD reunited, but I totally get why she wouldn't join in the reunion. I'll definitely go check out her solo album now. Edit: I just re-watched Buttons whilst fixing my attention on Melody, and I never noticed it, but you hardly see her dancing. During the acrobatic moves, she's never even in the frame, and during particularly difficult dance moves, she's hidden behind Nicole and you can only see her head sometimes. :O
I JUMPED when Melody sang opera like that I had no clue her voice was that strong! Good on the girls for not having bad blood with each other. I hope they all succeed in whatever they do next!
@@Lalahk As much as I love Melody, you are right. I perform as a classical singer, and her vocals weren't controlled. Nicole, on the other hand, is a trained classical singer; she really shocked me when she did the Royal Variety.
@@Lalahk yes. Nicole is definitely a much much stronger singer. Look at her singing in the phantom of the Opera. She's well trained. However, Melody has a lovely voice for pop songs. Even Adele knows her limits vocally.
If you only base your opinion on this clip, and the PCD songs, then yeah, I can see who you've formed this opinion. I suggest looking up Nicole singing phantom of the Opera and Don't Cry for me Argentina. Her skills during those pieces blew me away. Way better than the pitchy mess that they showed clips of Melody here
Chocolate Smitten Melody does not have a stronger tone, she does the same shit Aguilera does to her voice dropping her larynx but once she has to belt high her voice turns extremely light and squeaky.
The fact that Nicole’s solo career didn’t take off just proves she wasn’t carrying the group. They blew up TOGETHER despite everyone working hard to put them in Nicole’s shadow.
It's astonishing to me how determined their camp was to push Nicole to the front for a solo career, when let's be real, her solo career went nowhere. They did all of that, ruin the dreams of young girls, for nothing. And if you think about it, if the other girls were pushed more, and allowed them to be more organic, they would've had longevity and their solo careers would've went farther.
This woman was singing opera in that clip and they expected her to come back and be a backup dancer
exactly.. the disrespect.. when they started i understand the contracts and they didnt have a say in whats going on, but after putting solo albums and having found success outside the pcd. why in the hell would they go back to be in nicoles shadow again? after all the me too movement, all this women movement. they are gonna allow this treatmnt again???? ilove jessica and ashely but im dissapointed because they are superstars and have great voices.. they look like scared litttle puppets

@@thedynamicd85 sge actually can sing , everyone don't have to be a powerhouse to vocalist.
She's a singer not a dancer 😁
@@markmenez4097 Nicole >>>
TBH I don't blame her. Like she said
"I was told my time would come and it never did"
This reunion would be alll about Nicole AGAIN.
Nicole goes on like the others didn't want to sing and she HAD to do all the vocals 🤣😂
NATsoHIGH ! Right, I wrote 90% of the songs 🙄🙄. Since she doesn’t need any of them why not go solo.... 🤣😅😅😅
After watching the newest live performance, it's all nicole with background singers. And half the live performance it was lip syncing. I do understand that they had alot of dancing, but I'm there at a show to hear you live, not a cd
SIS in the live performance, the camera was only on her
The way this group was structured has always been wrog to the very beginning. Someone created the PD around Nichole, that's all. She had the right people in the right places who made things this way; they were all very talented each one her own way, Melody had a great voice as well but it's was all about Nichole. Maybe, she had a more striking beauty than the others (which all were so good looking) but not now..now she has a plastic like face, WTF did she do with all the Botox and fillers..she looks a super tightened lizard plus her skin tone is much lighter - I am white (northern Italy) and I will never understand why on earth someone wants to change is own skin tone...we are the way we are and we should be proud of that, if your are born with a caramel skin tone why do you want to bleach it?? Nonsense.
Anyway, I'm sure there was a lot of dissatisfaction around and it's a pity. I suppose the Spice Girls (who have marked and era of pop culture for sure) were more balanced with their roles and image because they were structured with a role since the very beginning and they all use to sing (Victoria less..but she was more about her image and it was ok with that)...of course they had their all little dramas but not even close to the Pussycat Dolls's one. Here they really had big drama all along. Glad Melody has found her path and is happier and satisfied.
EXACTLY. That new performance could have at least included them all singing a portion vs, being background all over again. 🤦🏽♀️
loved melodys voice..i never noticed that she wasnt a good dancer
She was put to the back of most music videos, and if she wasn't behind Nicole, she had no camera time. It took ages for me to tell because the camera switched that much, look at Button and see in the dance routine where she is behind and can pretty much only see her head pop behind Nicole' s shoulder
Aisha Koroma that’s crazy because I only watched her and never really noticed that as a kid
Come on look at beep it's cringing in
Ikr?
Me too
Holy shit after hearing Melody sing they should’ve pushed this girl 😍😍😍
I think she was the original lead of the band.
eon001 no she wasn’t, they built the band around Nicole because they were pushing her as a solo artist and wanted the band o give her her breakout.
@@TheKatarinaGiselle look it up. Nicole literally confirmed it in one of those behind the scene interviews. Then built the band around Nicole after they swapped out Melody.
She was picked first for the group, I wish they did
They’re back together because Nicole’s solo career wasn’t as successful as when she was in the PCD. On a side note, Nicole is a successful tv judge but as a singer her biggest success was in the PCD.
True. She got some shine briefly when she went solo, but she did not have much of an impact.
yeah i remember she popped a bit and they really tried with that collab with mr. hymen ugh ugh i mean t.i. but i just dont remember much happening after that. plus nics vocals arent all that.
icoleman150 true!
All of them didn't had sucessful solo music career. 😂😂😂😂
dezinechic saying her vocals aren’t all that, isn’t fair at all
Watch her “Don’t Cry for me Argentina” performance and you’ll see how good she really is
She has a lot of talent in many things
But the other girls in PCD do deserve more shine however
She stood out in the group ... so it was easy to notice she wasn’t there. Somethings are worth your peace ☮️ so do your thing melody
EXCATLY!
Sir that is the philosophy I live by, lol; some people, situations, jobs, sexual conquests, are just not worth sacrificing my zen for.
Lool i was wondering where's the black girl
I didn’t know
@@Kalibumpashards black girl?? She's beautiful and brown love just like Nicole.
Melody's advice about the group actually taking time to get to know each other before touring, shows that she is a very smart and thoughtful person ..... too bad Nicole refuses to share the spotlight.
It’s the managements fault, not Nicole’s...
If I sang like Melody I wouldn't want to be back. Never a name was so right for a person.
Can we talk about how Melody looks the same now as she did when she was 19 years old?
No :)
Christina Coigney well black don’t crack 🤷🏾♀️
Cause she's Mexican and black...all the dolls look good, but Nicole does look older.. She has aged
Bruno Bracamontes I agree. But Nicole is in her 40s. And shes sooo thin, fit as fuck, but thin. And its hard for a woman to not look a little hollow after 40 when they are that fit. She look good, but definitely different.
@@ov7spears Mexican and Black.....
Melody was always my favorite doll.
She was always noticed by me
She was my fave too
Me too!
Mine too!
Me too, she actually had a better voice than Nicole.
Me too..to me melody sounded like Christina Aguilera an xtina is my girl too!
I remember watching Buttons the first time and when Melodys adlibs came in I was like "wtf, she can sing?!"
Who else?
Me too.
When I saw I don't need a man, sway, I was like "wow"
I remember that somehow I always skipped tracks to hear her parts, mostly in "Beep" as a kid, I was such a big fan of her, something about her stands out even tho she was in shadow 🙂
Adlibs is what she does best! She can't be a lead singer when they already have one.
Melody ain’t stupid that’s what that is nobody tryna be a background singer for Nicole if they desire to sing 😒
Brittany Epps Okay, but she's not successful without Nicole. She's not good enough to be a successful solo artist.
Nicole can make a PCD hit but I not a hit for her own solo career
Stop👏🏼blaming👏🏼it👏🏼on👏🏼nichole👏🏼
blame👏🏼it👏🏼on👏🏼the👏🏼management
Brittany Epps Nicole has had hits, they just weren’t on the level as Pussycat Dolls. She sold 16 million records compared to PCD with 54 million.
Melody's job was to do back up. Then do back up. DO YOUR JOB and stop trying be the lead singer.
Dam, at least Beyonce let the other girls in Destiny’s Child sing.
Mely G Right, I barely have ever heard any of the other girls showcase their talent. Nicole is talented and fine but it’s truly “unfair” for the other women...
Nicole did most of the work for me. It makes sens
Because Beyonce ACTUALLY KNOWS MUSIC!!! She's very knowledgeable about music! She ARRANGES the music, produces EVERYONE'S vocals! This just shows that ya'll give Mathew Knowles WAAAAAY too much credit! He's hardly in the studio with Beyonce & DC when they're in the studio! He wasn't back then when they were making the Survivor & Writings On The Wall albums! Beyonce had way more creative control than any lead singer of any group at that time! Beyonce had more control musically than Justin, Nicole, Omarion, T-Boz, Coco etc! It was like that before Mathew even became manager!
Dont be fooled by that either. Lol.
@Chi Non No one is saying that Beyonce stopped them from singing, we're saying Beyonce had more creative control musically than Nicole as Destiny's Child was getting bigger with each album! By the time The Writings On The Wall came out, Beyonce was pretty much running the show & Bey made Survivor successful enough to get EVERYONE solo deals, Beyonce, Kelly, Michelle & Mathew got a Joint Venture deal & his 1st move was signing Solange to Musicworld! That's more than what Nicole, Justin & Omarion can say, but only Wendy Williams & the rest of the hateful media pushes the "Beyonce is a selfish diva, who left Destiny's Child for dead" narrative, when we know it's bullshit!
If Melody only started dancing at age 19, then she did pretty well. Kudos to her
I wonder if Nicole even challenged the management and requested that the girls have more recognition? They were the pillars holding her up so I wonder if she even tried to help them
Jordan nope Nicole didn’t care
@@bishopgraham304 well that's because they are dancers and not singers.
she loved the attention and gets visibly bitter when the attention is on someone else
@@lilithjade4363 that's true, watching their performance I can see that too.
Solidarity. Sisterhood. And all that jazz.
Maybe they're just buzzwords
I'm surprised the other girls agreed to a reunion after all the drama that happened 1st time round. Nothing will change they'll still be Nicole's back up dancers.
Daniel Pitman u know $￡€￥
@@rose191991 yeah it's probably the money offered that brought them back together.
Right

Ok but she can’t go nowhere without Nicole if she want good album
@@isaroatelo1236 girl bye. Nicole ain't popping like that no more.
her worth as a Xtina copycat.
I don't blame Melody for not going back. Why would you want to go back to a TOXIC relationship. She knows her worth and more power to her.
Say what you want about Melody but sis had vocals 💅🏾☕️
Aaron J okay 👏
Has
She did a medley on sunrise Australia and sounded like shite so no she hasn’t tbh
@mxlbabe Her voice isn't that high. Nicole's is actually naturally placed higher. Melody's is just thinner and more squeaky.
@mxlbabe The problem was, she thought she was a Christina or a Whitney, but she was more like a Mya or an Ashanti just pushing their voices to the absolute limit. She didn't have the big showy diva voice she thought she had, which is why she sounded like a hot mess live. Nicole was vocally capable of more but actually held back a lot when she was with PCD, and that's why fans that haven't done their homework actually believe Melody is the superior singer.
Tbh, the others girls were probably just as mad but they were too scared to stand up for themselves. Shout out to Melody for pulling through for herself and the rest of the members.
right!!! plus melody had the rivaled talent to back it up too
In short, she didn’t sing, there’s nothing for her to come back to.🤷🏾♂️ I cant blame her.
I dont blame her
Melody was my favorite doll I really wish she was a part of the reunion
Exactly 💯
Facts
@Roscato Marie
For real, how is it even possible to have favourites? It’s 2019 and I still only know Nicole’s name, and I don’t even like her like that.
She has a nice voice & should've been given chances to sing lead some.
@Roscato Marie Expressive explained in the video why they were being pushed to the back as background dancers.
I agree with Melody. What's the point of Melody being in the group as a vocalist if they won't let her sing?
Florence Michaelson to make money touring.
Florence Michaelson they should just let the girl sing. Man she’s got some amazing vocals. Like why y’all trying to hide that.
Florence Michaelson Yeah, group was more interesting to look at with the versatility of Melody's look's. Now It's just regular white girl look. Even though Nicole is mixed, still not enough edge.
I mean, think of it from a business perspective. Melody sounds like a kitten on fire literally every time she opens up that pez dispenser of a mouth she's got. Would that really be a lucrative investment for them to have her sing lead?
Florence Michaelson If she could sing but she can’t
Melody is not just her name, its also her borned talent
Not only she's a great vocalist, she's also really likeable and cute. There's a lot of potential here but it's a shame they focused only on Nicole.
Note that when Nicole tried to go solo, her career didn’t really take off so she went back to the Pussycat Dolls
She was amazing singing with David Garrett on violin.
@@maggiemae7749 that's cute. How many solo albums has she sold?
She literally disappeared from the music scene and ended up doing a bunch of reality TV and whatever else she could get
If they make another album they better have Melody on it and let everybody sing. We don't need another Nicole and friends album.
kimberley williams she did make music but it was released overseas. Idk how that does any good for her career though lol
Damn Melody worked so hard. I couldn't even tell from the music videos that she was a "weak dancer."
Me neither but it's true, she struggled so much when they did live performances. She was always messing up in the choreography and had to practice more than the other girls. They mentioned that alot. Poor melody. She deserves to be heard.
Well, all the others, even Nicole, were professional dancers. However, no Pop group danced so good as PCD. When it comes to dancing they are superior.
they were formed as a burlesque troupe and not a girl group, so I think most girls were signed as background girls, being dancers while Nicole did singing and dancing
Sky that’s exactly how robin put them together. There was also a revolving door of dolls before they were signed as a girl group
All the dancers with the exception of Kim left though: EVERYONE else was a singer, but didn't get to sing in PCD even if they sang before Nicole was even in the group. Ashley has said that was particularly unfair: she and Jessica basically had something taken away from them even though they were senior to Nicole within the group.
Carmit and Jessica are singers
Melody sign as a lead vocal too and they did her dirty, let's not forget...
Melody’s parts were always my favourite - 13 year old me was always pretending I was her when I was dancing along in my room haha
Hold on I didn’t know melody had all that range😮😮😍😍
@@thecrownoffusion8420 you're thirsty get a life.
Talima Nln what! Girl didn’t you listen to Buttons and some
Talima Nln me either. I’m shook.
What range? All she hit was an F natural above high tenor C, lol.
Right! They down played the fuck out of her!
This reunion is still going to be “Nicole and “friends” so I don’t blame melody for not doing it but then again after the stunt she pulled at that award show 🥴
What did she do?
Can you blame her? She was tired of the bs at that point
Dillon May
What stunt??
What show??
What is the tea?!?! ☕️
SRC at the 2006 AMAs Melody comes to the stage half way through the group’s performance of buttons and starts all sorts of belts, runs and adlibs
Dillon May I remember hearing about that
Funny how Melody got more attention for not coming back than all the other backup dolls got for coming back.
Holy shit...Melody’s voice is dope af...how the hell isn’t she a solo artist
She just released her first album late last year/early this year
Melody was my favorite doll she the reason why I like buttons so much she was singing her ass off...Nicole didn't make it as a solo artist so now she putting the group back together...
Yeah but no one from that group did.
Facts!! Nicole's solo career did not succeed in the same way, so the group is being used as another vehicle for her
St0rm124g3r XL the difference is Nicole had major label backing her and a whole team behind her while the other members did not
Exactly
They always do. That solo career of hers didn't take off like she would have hope it would so go back to the group she goes.
*Melody’s name is appropriate! The woman can SAAAANG!*
S. D. Yes she can.
In the studio she did, live....not so much
I can moan too.
Elvick cool story Mary.
She can scream and do some runs.. that's it.
Don't get me wrong Melody can sing, but from a technical stand point Nicole blows her out the water. That being said their label did her dirty and did them a disservice not utilizing the talent of both girls. Major props to Mel for never being salty towards Nicole. That whole group was a mess and they didn't promote individuality with the girls they were definitely a machine for their label to make money and its just an unfortunate truth in that industry.
Nicole is not a great singer
Lies
Sorry not sorry. Melody/Melanie lol she sounds off everytime she sung 😂
@@syde82 Used to think this too until I watched Nicole perform Phantom of the Opera. Nicole IS good. Maybe even better?
@@syde82 then Melody is worse than not great
Melody can sing and even some of the girls can. The thing is, they get out of tune whenever they sing and dance. Only Nicole can sing with stability while dancing. Try watching their live performances.
yeah and that why she uses playback in this reunion era...
So true.
A lot of artists use playback especially if the song requires a lot of dancing. Please remember, PCD is no longer in their prime years. They are already in their late 30s & early 40s.
@@latinarompassionforbooksre6035 I'm a teacher and I'm confident I am well-mannered. Well-mannered enough not to curse people I don't even know.
LOL no - Nicole has dance TRAINING, but if you want to see someone give hardcore choreo while still sounding great, that's Carmit. Nicole's lack of professional dance experience means she struggles to dance and sing at the same, which is why it made even less sense for her to sing everything. ALL the dance-heavy songs have loads of backing tracks: Buttons, When I Grow Up, I Don't Need A Man, etc. She can do ballads where you just sit/stand like Stickwitu, and the songs that are easy to sing like Dontcha, but Nicole is no triple threat.
I think there's a deeper reason Melody isn't returning. For starters, she's the youngest and joined the group as a teenager so she had to deal with being the baby of the group. Also she lost her identity because she was moulded into something she wasn't. She's a vocalist, not a dancer so imagine not being able to use your strength and only being relegated to a backup dancer, something that isn't even your strongest suit.
Once Nicole admitted to doing all the singing on their albums, there was no need for a reunion
yes she was wayyyy younger than the rest of them getting into the game. imagine being surrounded by older girls in a tough industry... yea
@@Private.Jetson especially having to take a back seat, they were lying to her when they said her time was coming. She's older, she's wiser and doesn't need to go back to a time in her life where she was made to be a puppet who danced to Nicole's tune.
Trent Rodgers but the intro performance should have included them all being a lead vocal if they were going to do it right. It only had nicole front and center as usual. Its not happening correctly even now. Melody is right to not want to join.
She was treated like crap that why she aint coming back plain and simple.
Trent Rodgers wow when did this happen? the fire
It's weird that they hired Melody when they knew she couldn't dance and she wouldn't be singing almost anything.
They wouldn't let her sing and they knew she couldn't dance. Melody was the token black girl.
That wasn’t the plan
@@jayhi5479 i was just thinking that! lol
exactly, and they called her the worst dancer in the group when in the first place she wasn't a dancer.
She was hired to counter the poor singing skills of the girls singing background vocals. And yes, her complexion added to the diversity angle management was pushing for their image.
I actually love Melody’s Independant album! It’s soooo good! She is an amazing singer. You see how they do the black and/or mixed girl in the groups child. (She actually real woke too. I’ve listened to her speak and I’m here for her 🙏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽 do it sis I wish her and Normani all the love and success in 2020)
Nicole is the the all around talent in the group, she's extremely captivating. I dont think people should blame her. But management should've dived things a little better even if it was just album tracks.
So Carmit and Melodie were the only other singers in the group...if you notice (in the early days) they were the only ones with mics cuz they did all the hamronizing and Melodie did the runs on the album. Carmit left the group between the 1st and 2nd album for the same reason Melodie doesn't want to come back.
Blame managmeent all you want, but Nicole could have easily checked management as the "star" and she didn't. She actually negotiated a solo project behind the scenes instead.
FYI Carmit is in her 40s (she was 10+ years older than the rest of the girls when the group came out)....still dances her ass off and can sing so to say that Nicole is the all around talent is disrespectful to the other girls
@@ashleywalker4845 All the other Dolls have said that Nicole was a diva anyways. She threw a fucking stiletto at Jessica's head!
She was captivating because they made her the center of attention. If you look at Nicole in her first girl group from pop stars, Eden's Crush she did not stand out above the other girls because the management wanted all the girls to shine, it really is about how they set it up. Look at Eden's Crush live performance and you will be like wow, I get it now. Nicole is talented for sure, but if you want everyone to shine, you can make that happen.
@@ashleywalker4845 100% agree with you
Melody was always my favorite!
Since that one part in buttons
I even remember being in high school wondering why Melody never got a chance to showcase her voice. I knew even then that something was off.
She should've had a better agent
She would have easily eclipsed Nicole vocally if she'd had the chance. They knew what they were doing and broke her spirit to keep her in line.
The sad thing is all of these women can sing to varying degrees just give each member a line to sing on a track damn
Melody's singing was always messy, inconsistent, her technique wasn't always there and she often would lose control of her voice. If we're talking about who the BEST singer of the group is in terms of technique and overall control and performance it's definitely Nicole. And Nicole's voice and tone tied with good records means MONEY. People don't realize how good of a singer Nicole is because PCD didn't really allow her to showcase her entire range, but she is an AMAZING vocalist. Melody is good too, she just needed more training at the time and wouldn't have been able to hold her own in my opinion. She would be all over the place.
She was a kid when she got into the group, how was she supposed to get better if she was not allowed to sing??
That’s not true melody deserved a chance and her voice isn’t all over the place even though she was supposed to be vocally trained .She is amazing no lie
Michelle Simbanegavi Melody is no where near amazing. She can sing, but lacks technique and control. Her voice is not pleasing to hear im sorry. I only agree that the label/management could have invested in her, so she could grow as a singer
Aris Rug Melody definitely has control because her runs are very good and so are her transitions and to do that you need to have control which she has and her voice is amazing
@@fabrice-seanmarenel9091 singing lessons.
Why do they do this with every group? Like the other members don't have dreams and goals 🤷🏾♀️
Micheala Capricorn Probably so the women forget the label isn’t giving them any money.
@Iris E B2k comes to mind because Omarion sang most of their stuff and one other member rapped.
@Iris E yes n'sync backstreet boys, they all tried to go solo it didn't work 98 degrees same thing it didn't work and r&b groups do the same one person from the group may have a huge break while the other members falter.
In kpop today..everyone has their shine at least.

I find it funny that Nicole was pushed to the front, yet her solo music career was so-so.
Exactly smh
Cherish O'Neal yes they both talent
So so...more like no no!
It wasnt even so-so 😅😅😅
Her solo career is just fine hun
So they've basically seen that they're nothing without nicole and agreed AGAIN to be her backup dancers
Imagine being yelled to "figure it out" to dance like THAT or you're out. Must be tough for her especially that she was still young.
Had their circumstances were a bit different. You know, more fair, more compassion to the girls and more consideration, Pussycat Dolls can be easily the greatest girl group of all time.
Melody actually has a really beautiful voice. She'll be successful doing her own thing and if she has a solid support system
... Right because vocally Nacole can't see her!!! We may have to be that strong support system for her. Push her, follow and support her!
I actually didn't realize how versatile Melody's singing was because I just knew her as the girl that had that baby voice in some of the ad-libs. I need to look into her more :)

Nicole is not hypocrite like other girls, bcoz they know the label will never pick back melody but in front of screen they act like that,. If melody also want good album then she must go to Nicole or her husband (bcoz they are good songwriter)
I love your documentaries, Empressive‼❤ It's so in depth and how you support your info with very intricate clips and/or soundbites. It's always brief, but enjoyable to view. Reminds me of "Behind the Music," "Unsung," etc. While I'm happy for the group reuniting because I miss the 90's era of girl groups such as Blaque, Destiny's Child, En Vogue, Spice Girls, Xscape, and so many more. I felt that Ashley and Melody speech was speaking to their adversities behind the scenes. I wish Melody success in all her future endeavors, hoping she finally gets to showcase her vocal range, and sharpen other skillsets that are duller.
Whoa whoa whoa hold the damn phone...
Melody can carry a tune, but she does NOT rival Nicole and she’s NO Christina. Melody was very pitchy and rarely hit studio notes, live.
That said: good for her. She wasn’t going to thrive in that group it was built around Nicole: I hope she gets a shot to do her thing on a big platform.

This is sad that the industry does this and still till this day real talent barely gets recognition especially out of girl groups.
That's always how girl bands break up. Currently, Little Mix is the only girl group that is still together. Why? Because they work as a team and don't have a lead singer. That proves my point that lead singers in a band cause problems.

It was never her fault until she go DIVA!
How do you expect a 19 year old from the age of Nokia snake game to know better? You really sounded stupid here, labels are not your friends and definitely use a lot of shades of grey when they try to lure you in, you won’t see these shades until you stuck on them.
Don't be so naive, Nicole was more than happy to be the centre of attention, and she was a full-on diva. It was always about her solo career... which never took off.
Those other girls are selling themselves short and deep inside they know it, good luck to Melody. She made the right decision.

What if they all left Nicole and joined Melody 🤭
da12nvmp yeah I agree but I just don’t see the point in them doing it. guess they need the money.
Love Muffin that would be dope lmaoo.
@@da12nvmp ALL of them can sing, with Carmit, Ashley and Jessica singing in the Dolls before Nicole ever even joined.
I didn't know that she's making her own music ever since!💗💗 I'm gonna check her up on Spotify 😁😍
She just released an album.

Good for her! I love that PCD reunited, but I totally get why she wouldn't join in the reunion. I'll definitely go check out her solo album now.
Edit: I just re-watched Buttons whilst fixing my attention on Melody, and I never noticed it, but you hardly see her dancing. During the acrobatic moves, she's never even in the frame, and during particularly difficult dance moves, she's hidden behind Nicole and you can only see her head sometimes. :O
Besides melody they’re all back up dancers.
Lol
Jessica sutta has done well with her music also
No.. Carmit also sang... Only those 2 with Nicole
Actually I met Ashley and she is amazing at singing as well
@@FrozenAuroras She's released more music than all of them... and it's good!
I JUMPED when Melody sang opera like that I had no clue her voice was that strong! Good on the girls for not having bad blood with each other. I hope they all succeed in whatever they do next!
Krysta Briley me too, I was like, oh she can sing sing😳🎶😂
Not sure how much opera you listen to but that was the only cringy part for me.... She had a hard time breathing and her timing was off.
@@Lalahk Nicole was in an opera and OMG. Her voice is so much more amazing than what's showcased with the songs she sang in the group.
@@Lalahk As much as I love Melody, you are right. I perform as a classical singer, and her vocals weren't controlled. Nicole, on the other hand, is a trained classical singer; she really shocked me when she did the Royal Variety.
@@Lalahk yes. Nicole is definitely a much much stronger singer. Look at her singing in the phantom of the Opera. She's well trained. However, Melody has a lovely voice for pop songs. Even Adele knows her limits vocally.
With that much hurt in the past, I think I'd do the same and not return.
Nicole is the “strongest vocalist” because she’s the only one you hear singing which is so stupid. Melody was the strongest vocalist
If you only base your opinion on this clip, and the PCD songs, then yeah, I can see who you've formed this opinion. I suggest looking up Nicole singing phantom of the Opera and Don't Cry for me Argentina. Her skills during those pieces blew me away. Way better than the pitchy mess that they showed clips of Melody here
Melody? A better singer than Nicole??? Oh pls, just check nicole's video singing opera// "phantom of the opera" and stfu
@Chocolate Smitten sorry but Nicole is classically trained singer. She knows opera. Its the dancing that always make her singing so breathy and bad.
Chocolate Smitten Melody does not have a stronger tone, she does the same shit Aguilera does to her voice dropping her larynx but once she has to belt high her voice turns extremely light and squeaky.
this made me laugh.
She's the only one who's name I know outside of Nicole
This is exactly what I would like to say.
Same here😅😅❤️❤️
Kimberly Wyatt is third up, then Jessica and Carmit
Exactly!!!!!
@@mixymonroe ashley?
Melody talking voice sounds a lot deeper than I remember.
Mark Matthews she’s gotten older
She was doing a Paris Hilton
She said she was 19 when they started
Vocal cords mature in the early 30's and deepen even more after having children.
Teasha Stewart Damn 🤭
The fact that Nicole’s solo career didn’t take off just proves she wasn’t carrying the group. They blew up TOGETHER despite everyone working hard to put them in Nicole’s shadow.
I love it when they make a 10 min video out of a topic that is a 30 sec tiktok clip worthy
It's astonishing to me how determined their camp was to push Nicole to the front for a solo career, when let's be real, her solo career went nowhere. They did all of that, ruin the dreams of young girls, for nothing. And if you think about it, if the other girls were pushed more, and allowed them to be more organic, they would've had longevity and their solo careers would've went farther.
So dang on true!!!😉
Yes.
FACTS! Nicole flopped as a solo act and the kept trying to push her over and over
You make a great point.
you are absolutely right!
I see that Nicole realized she can’t make it as an independent artist 🧐 now she’s back to get that coin
I don't blame her do what works
She had plenty of hits in the UK
I actually like her music!
She had plenty of hits in UK, Europe and Australia. America isn't the only country in the world. She also is a judge on X Factor, thats A LOT of coin.
Lamonte Hughes compared to the US that’s nothing. That’s why foreign artists always try to make it big here because the industry will notice.
Melody you have a beautiful voice. God bless.
If melody is a such a great solo act, where's her hit song?
Where is Nicole’s her solo career was garbage
