The Hell Of The Pussycat Dolls

[drbastard]

Someone had to start a thread about them here and I thought, 'it might as well be me'.
I don't know, they just seem to be everywhere right now. The media are saturating the airwaves, newspapers and internet with them and by the way, seemingly they're the New Spice Girls.

I know for a fact that loads of people on this site dislike them, some hate them even. So post here please!

I hate them. My neighbour, a vile tarty witch who stole her daughter's sixteen year old boyfriend sings that bloody chorus at the top of her smoke damaged lungs constantly. I am almost on the verge of telephoning the Pop Police on her tired ass.

Please help me and post a massive thread of constant Pussycat Dolls bashing messages. New Spice Girls? I don't think so. Yet they do seem to combine the worst aspect of the Girls in that they are a relentless institution and now have products coming out of their tight bums.




Plus Fannypack are better and get NO press at all.

I preferred the 21st century girls.

[drbastard]

You know something, I actually didn't like them at first, I preferred Hepburn but as time passes I quite enjoy The 21st Century Girls.

But that's magnificently irrelevant to this Pussycat Dolls bashing thread.

[Kubla Khan]

I'd prefer a bunch of bona fide porn stars really. Strippers are so passe.

A2M is a catchy band name too.

[alexsis]

I'm not keen on them..

[aneza]

I don't get the deal with "don't cha" .

[James]

I'm 50/50 on them; I like the song (well, the edit without Busta Rhymes) but I don't see the point in having 5 members - only one of them sings and the rest just appear to be glorified backing dancers.

Needless to say, they are nothing on the Spice Girls.

[Madison]

I don't like their use of grammar. Cha isn't a word.

[Ronald Parisi]

I can't stand the lead singer's voice. I can't stand "Don't Cha"

I can't stand a group of 6 female singers that use both female and male background singers on their first single, yet don't use two of the singers in their own group on the track at all. I hate the idea of just about every song on their album features someone (okay three or four songs).

Dr. Bastard. I couldn't agree more with you.

[canuckfuk]

I don't understand the whoop-dee-do over these girls. There's nothing there. No life. . No flare. No joie de vivre. No 'je ne sai quoi'. No Pepe Le Pew.

"Don't Cha" is an annoying song and song title. 'The Pussy Cat Dolls' is such white-trash- post-feminist-using-our-sexuality-to-get-ahead-but-we're-still-feminists tripe that is sooo Cosmo magazine circa '91 (and no the Spice Girls never really used 'sexuality' to get ahead; they more parodied it and 'drag-queened' it; that's my opinion on that obvious debate and I'm sticking to it!).

They'll never be a pop phenom like the Spice Girls; the most they'll ever be is a pop fart.

[Ms Pouty McPout Pout]

It's a shame they don't use all their members, because their album is really good.

Buttons should be released - it doesn't feature anybody and is really catchy and upbeat. It's way better then Don't Cha. Their cover of Tainted Love is fabulous too, and Bite The Dust is great. Feelin' Good is a fantastic cabaret style song. None of those songs feature people.

I don't get how everybody who likes the PCD says how brilliant Nicole is. I hate her. She hogs the limelight all the time. Cow!

[flufff]

They wouldn't have annoyed me if they weren't on every popular culture tv show and in every magazine I pick up. It's too much for a group that is nothing more than a novelty dance troupe with a reality tv singer recruited so they can produce a produce an album and make lots of money for the record company that have hired lots of expensive and trendy writers and producers.

The idea behind the band doesn't bother me, and the ones who don't get to sing are probably better vocalists than someone like Jenny Frost, but they are manufactured to appear credible and cool, which is the worst kind of manufacturing there is.

[drbastard]

I swear they'll be at #1 for years now. It's going to be like Cher all over again in that we like the song at first and then it starts to kill us all sonically.

I really don't like the video either. It reminds me too much of Bad Ass Strippa for some reason and that's never a good thing.

[canuckfuk]

I've never seen the video all the way through, to be honest. I get very irate when it's on and canNOT endure anymore than 2.5 seconds of it. The only time I hear the goddamn song is when it's in played in a bar or club (and this kinda song is exactly the kind of song that Toronto clubs like, GRRRR.). I usually race to the washroom to get away from it; but, alas, I can still hear it. Makes it very difficult to pee.

ps: Toronto is in Canada.

[Busted-Obsessive]

It's quite slutty - but I don't think it's slutty enough. Seriously, It could do with a bit more grit. It's not very good for singing along to - maybe that's because I'm a guy? apart from that it's fine.
You can tell it will end up being an anthem of the persons-less-brilliant, etc though.

They seemed really nice on Core Control, on the radio.

[puredeadthingy]

They used to be a troupe of risque dancers in The Viper Club. The auditions called for 'Insanely beautiful girls with beautiful voices.' I hatehatehate their song. Don't I wish my girlfriend was hot like you? Well no, not really. I hate the way you dress/sound/look/come across. Cheers anyway.

[nickinoo]

They're just fucking shit aren't they. How does anyone view them as the new Spice Girls? For a start I could only tell you what one of them looks like. Their single manages to be boring and irritating at the same time. They don't have an identity, they're trying to be everything at the same time, but they're just a big mess. But for some reason everyone seems to love them. That's just life though isn't it. I'd like to write something a bit more bitchy about them but I've managed to avoid knowing anything about them, and I'm not about to go and find out.

[moogaboo]

They're to be called "PCD" now, you see, as their manager doesn't think they'll be up for any Grammy awards if they keep the "pussy" in their name. True story, that.

Don'Cha is one of those songs that I just don't get. It's irritating, it's charmless, it's cold. Then again, with 50 Cent ruling the airwaves, why am I surprised that this is a number one hit?

The good news is, they're probably blowing all of their residuals on coke and planning unfortunate solo careers. PCD can't be long for the pop world.

[Kubla Khan]

One of them shagged Blunt too. This world does not need a stripping troubadour.

[agrippina]

I really hate the slutty sentiment behind Don't Cha (grr) too. Whatever happened to sisterly solidarity, eh?

[HeartGoesBoom]

I think all i believe about them was summed up when Jodie Marsh wore a hooded top saying: 'Don't Cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me!??'

[Jen]

Well I really like them.
Sorry.

[97williamsb]

I think the album is fantastic...but Don't Cha is annoying now. Used to love it.

[mikado]

The song is good, but it's just so difficult to take them seriously as a band. Especially since only three of the six actually sing. The other three only join in to sing the words "Don't Cha"! I haven't heard the album.

[veryjammy]

Beep is rather good and should have been the next single but Don't Cha is so utterly joyless, soulless and lacking any semblance of a tune. It's one of the most boring songs I've heard in a long long time and I was astonished to see it perched near the top of PJ's Chart Of Truth.

[calvinsteps]

I think Gezza H should remind miss lead (and only) singer of the pussycat dolls who actually invented girl power. smack the bitch.

[ScissorSister]

Don't cha annoys the hell out of me now. I could stand it before and even thught it was alright but it just gets on my nerves.

I think it started to piss me off when these slaggy girls in school out on a cd-r of random recent tracks in class and it consisted of this and Jessica Simpson's cover of "These Boots"

[ttoby]

Stickwitu has started being on TV now - I'm hoping for a huge revival of this thread.

[drbastard]

What a lifeless ballad! I hate them with a passion, or at least I hate them with more passion than they could muster combined. I hate all that fake emotion and the need to do ballads merely because they're a 'girl group' and they're barely that.

The worst female pop group in recent memory. At least The Faders had No Sleep Tonight.

[Robbing the Dezan]

Stickwitu

There is so much wrong with this title.

1. By shoving the words together like this you get sti-kwi-too

2. If they are gonna spell it "wit" at least say "wit"!

3. It's like the singing one is too old and rubbish to make it as a solo artist, so they have to pass her off in this slut group.
