"Bottle Pop Wins"; PCD Poll Closed

The 3rd single poll ended awhile ago, and it seems that Bottle Pop won, with 159/596 votes, a 26% win. Looks like that is coming true, supposedly BP is the new single, with a new mix to accompany it. It may be the version done live with Nicole's new verse. I wanna hear it! Haha....

Buy IHTP Remixes



Remix EP, $2.71 US

Includes Digital Dog, Dave Audé, Karmatronic and Moto Blanco Club Mixes.

Dave Audé Dance Hybrid Mix, $0.99

Used for newer IHTP performances, studio version.

Halo by José


A dedicated reader named José sent me this awesome 'Halo' cover he made. He describes it as one of his favorite songs from DD and that he can relate to the lyrics. Also, he's a fan of Eden's Crush and owns both PCD and DD.

Credit him if you use his cover.

Thanks, José.

Carmit: Overrated


This is quite familiar, at least to me. In 2001 Siobhán Donaghy, the 'redhead' of the Sugababes left the group and a few years later released a song called 'Overrated'. The song was seen as a dig at the woman's previous pop group. If you listen closely to Carmit's song it seems that she may be doing the same. You never know, but I do think Carmit was overlooked in the Dolls. Nicole is immensely talented, but Carmit never got to really shine. She was an original member after all.

Listen HERE

IHTP [The Hills Finale]



Another good showing.

PCD + Britney


In my absence I am sure you all heard of PCD opening for Britney here in the States. I am especially looking forward to this one, as the Dolls will be performing new material and hopefully we'll get to hear the other girls' voices. Also, Britney's new album is the second one (after Blackout) that I really like. Not as good as DD, but it's a really nice dance pop album I use for working out and jogging.

Anyway, tell me about your experiences and if you're going or not!!!

Carmit performs "Kerosene"


WOW! Carmit's voice! I love her style. This is an excellent style, and if you listen to her lyrics, you'll get a hint of some of Carmit's view on the past.


PCD - I Hate This Part (TOTP)


I feel so badly for the Dolls doing this song as of late. Nicole is obviously under too much pressure with the vocals, which they alleviated slightly with Melody actually singing this time, but Jess and Ash could sing as well (I'm not so sure about Kimmie). But the ending remix fusion with the David Audé remix completely erodes any sentiment the song had. It's kinda disappointing. Anyway, watch. I like that Melody got to sing, and she sounded quite nice.

I'm sorry


I am still working with the blog, everyone. I think people forget that I am a 20 year old college sophomore. I was studying and preparing for my exams, my finals of the semester. Working academically and then putting effort forth for this blog can be difficult, not to mention having to have a social life. I recently made the greatest friend I've ever had, and we had a bunch of ups-and-downs that are associated with close relationships. I am currently in Chicago, having the time of my life, so please forgive me for being myself. I still love PCD and DD, but I do have certain responsibilities as well. I will get to posting again soon. The place I am staying only has a medium-speed connection, so uploads of videos won't occur till I get back to school, the 12th of January. Until then, stay tuned.

They need to let the other girls sing. This is a mess to have Nicole do everything, with her own vocals on the backing track. Disappointing.

Sorry! Exams, homework, conferences, Chicago, and planning to go abroad next semester. I have been super busy and apologize for not being around.

I have seen the two performances of WTAT, and the DWTS one was much better. Audio and video soon. IHTP performances have been decent in my eyes. The girls need to sing more and lay off Nicole. She's headed for vocal damage.

I have been performing IHTP live as well...with a backing track and also with a live band (acoustically). It's been fun! I promise to update soon.

Ashley's Blog [10.15.08]

Australia Rocks!!!

Wow.. I feel so loved and had such a warm welcome here in Australia. I can't believe we haven't been out here more often. We were in Sydney for a couple days and got to perform in front of the Sydney opera house for X box. It was raining outside but that didn't stop us or the fans from standing outside and still enjoying the concert. Was so fun!! As well as performing for the early morning show Sunrise.. and let me just say.. all the fans there were incredible!! I felt on top of the world.

Today we landed in Melbourne where I was greeted by this young girl who is a fan. She made the most amazing scrap book.. it made my day!!!! The best present I have gotten in awhile. So much thought and effort went into it. Thank you so much to all the Aussie fan's!!! You make me feel so much love.

11 Questions With Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger:


Spotted at PCDWorld

SOURCE

Nicole Scherzinger has been ultra-busy promoting the Pussycat Dolls' just-released album, 'Doll Domination.' Nonetheless, the lead singer of these burlesque queens turned pop stars shares her intimate secrets with us, including who she is crushing on and who should play her in 'The Nicole Story.'

No. 11
Who's one celebrity you would love to be
right now?
I was gonna say Bono, but honestly he's trying to save the world. So I would not wanna be Bono because that's too much on my shoulders [laughs]. I'd want somebody who looks like they have the funnest life ever, just has the best life. I guess maybe I'd want to be Snoop. He's so cool.

No. 10
What's one song you wish you had written?
'Imagine,' by John Lennon, 'cause it just answers so much. It's a legendary song, it was revolutionary and it's timeless.

No. 9
What's one band that you think is totally underappreciated?
I've always been a fan of Keane. Maybe they have blown up, but they can be bigger than they are.

No. 8
Who was your celebrity crush growing up?
There are two of them: One was Jonathan [Knight] from New Kids on the Block, which is so crazy, because we have a song with New Kids on the Block. And then my biggest crush growing up was this actor Jonathan Brandis. He's not with us any longer, but I had the biggest crush on him. I used to make tons of collages with him. He was the guy all over my locker when you open it up.

No. 7
Who's the current celebrity crush?
My all-time crush growing up -- and still will forever remain my crush -- is Johnny Depp. I think he's everybody’s crush.

No. 6
What is the tour must-have accessory item?
Good music -- that, or as an accessory,
great lashes.

No. 5
Who would play you in your biopic?
Maybe Jennifer Lopez or Cameron Diaz; I don't know. I'm such a goofball, [but] J. Lo is all hot and spicy, but she's still really fun. And then Cameron Diaz is just like goofy and I'm really goofy and they both I feel like are very relatable, real people.

No. 4
What is your biggest phobia?
I don't like mean people. Is that a phobia? I don't like that more than anything in life

No. 3
How do you deal with paparazzi?
I just try to stay away as much as I can, mind my own business, mind my P's and Q's, hopefully they'll leave me alone.

No. 2
Who's your dream collaborator?
I would say Prince. One of my favorite songs he has done is 'Sometimes It Snows in April.' If we could do our own version of that, and maybe then an uptempo [song] as well, something like 'Purple Rain' or 'When Doves Cry,' that would
be genius.

No. 1
What's your favorite '80s song?
Let's go with Pat Benatar -- 'Heartbreaker' or 'Love Is a Battlefield.' Or there's Tiffany's 'I Think We're Alone Now.' No, you know what I'm totally sticking with, I'm sticking with 'Toy Soldiers,' Martika. Just give me 10 minutes and then I'll be more
decisive [laughs].

All dolled up!

by Josh Rotter

Doll Domination's upon us with the release of the Pussycat Dolls' sophomore album of that name, featuring the Top 10 single and VMA winner "When I Grow Up."

It's hard to believe that it's been three years since the fierce quintet of Nicole, Ashley, Jessica, Melody and Kimberly first set dance floors ablaze with the worldwide No. 1 hit "Don't Cha," followed by their self-titled multi-platinum debut album, which included sizzlers "Stickwitu," "Beep," "Buttons" and "Wait a Minute."

Gay.com talked with PCD member Melody Thornton about the new album and PCD's ever doll-icious style.

So how does your style change on "Doll Domination"?

I think with the second album we do come back even stronger and harder for the album packaging and the first video. It's very much a superhero-esque theme, especially with Nicole's half-top with futuristic sleeves in the "When I Grow Up" video. It's really dominating dress.

Are the Dolls trading in their sex-kitten sensibility for something a little more ferocious?

Yeah, we're already seeing a different Pussycat Dolls. We've changed, but haven't. The music has grown but still caters to Pussycat Dolls fans ... and so yeah, it's graduated.

The Dolls have always seemed like a strong unit with very little individuality -- aside from lead singer Nicole.

With the first album, there was a lot of focus on Nicole, but on the second album we're widening the lens as much as possible.

OK, so break it down for me. Who's who?

Each girl is nice and talented, and that applies to everyone. Ashley is a phenomenal dancer and great singer. She's the blond bombshell, but has this boho-chic, hippie-ish style. Kim is punk rock, and a very fierce and untouchable dancer. Jessica is our pin-up with a classic hourglass shape, and she's a very talented singer-dancer. I always describe myself as both Latin and African-American, so I am representing culture, as well as Nicole, who's Hawaiian and Filipina. Nicole, as we all know, is a classic exotic beauty.

OK, enough about them. Let's get to know you a little. How would you describe your personal style?

We have been doing a futuristic-themed style with very interesting choices, I will say. But we have fantastic people who help us like Jessica Pastor (the famed stylist who works with Eva Longoria, Hillary Duff and Jessica Simpson), Robin Antin and Sammy and Judy. We've been wearing latex pants, which really pop onstage. There's been a lot of silver, yellow, red and black. We switch it up.

Where do you look for style inspiration?

I admire other female entertainers like Jennifer Lopez and also Sienna Miller and Mary Kate. It's a huge world, and there are so many things you can be, and I love be a different character each day, like the whole vintage '60s girl. I just really love fashion.

Who is your favorite fashion designer of all time?

I have been in love with Thomas Wylde. I recently purchased an incredible bag, and it broke the bank. I really appreciate Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood. I really like the shape and corseted fit of Vivienne Westwood. It looks like how much it cost.

If money were no object, what clothing item would you splurge on?

I would buy all the Christian Louboutins in the world, all the Rick Owens leather jackets, and all the Balenciaga bags in every color. I would just go for it, and get everything and anything I want.

Would you agree with this statement? You can never have too many accessories.

I do not agree with that. I guess, to a certain degree, it depends if it's put together nicely and strategically. I don't mind a lot of necklaces and bangles, but they should be in the same family, not 700 silver and gold necklaces or bracelets together. I also hate random miscellaneous bracelets on people's arms.

Getting to your fans for a moment, is there anything that's just "too gay" to wear?

It depends on the person. I think if the guy is gay and still trying to date girls and it's obvious, then you can tell if the guy's wearing pants and they're kind of tight. I think it looks great on Chris Brown, though. And if a guy's wearing a Kylie Minogue or PCD t-shirt with sequins or rhinestones on it, then you have to question. But real men cry and wear pink, so it's fine.

What was the No. 1 fashion don't for 2008?

Well for women, I got tired of the potato sack dresses that showed no figure. It allowed for a lot of women to eat whatever they wanted and not take the high road and work out. Whenever I went shopping, that's all they had. But what happened to the nice, form- fitting cute dresses? For guys, the Kanye glasses ... I really got tired of that.

Which fashion trend of the last 25 years should be brought back and which should be totally avoided?

I love bell bottoms. I always see pictures of my mom from the '70s, and she was rocking those cute high-waisted bell-bottoms.

I'm really tired of black tights, like Lindsay Lohan wears. Like can we replace them with shiny opaque tights? You can still wear those.


What are your style forecasts for 2009?

Very shapely ... just shapes ... I'm looking for shapes ... more fitted and more corseted. I want everyone to catch up to Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.

Next Single [Confirmed]


PCD's new US single, as I speculated some posts ago, premiered today on TRL, indicating to viewers everywhere that "I Hate This Part" is the newest single. Good choice. The girls seem allowed to sing with the track live now (seeing as they cannot go on with solely Nicole's voice) and I appreciate that. The performance below is a good example, although Nicole was kinda rough, but remember it was about 9 in the morning. The girls sound wonderful, and you could see the "Stickwitu" vibe with the hand swaying toward the end. The song, although of sad content, is quite touching and emotional. I am hoping this will rejuvenate the album like "Stickwitu" did three years ago. I will be posting some the remix EP soon, however I will only provide the radio edits.

Y alguien me dejó un comentario, que me preguntó si hablo español. Ahora creo que sabes la respuesta :P LOL espero que te guste el blog y que visites más en el porvenir, amigo!

IHTP: Next Single


It seems that IHTP has been sent to radio for adds on October 21st. This could very well indicate that it is indeed the next single and that Interscope now intends to release WTAT as solely a digital/radio/promo single. It would explain the quiet release of the WTAT to iTunes, however.
