QUOTE
WHEN the PUSSYCAT DOLLS split five years ago in the most acrimonious of showbiz fallouts, I wouldn’t have predicted a reunion.

The other cat ladies turned on the girl band’s standout member NICOLE SCHERZINGER as she plotted a big future as a solo star.

But circumstances are very different in 2015 after Nicole was axed by record label RCA, dropped from The X Factor’s judging panel and left heartbroken following her split with her long-term boyfriend, F1 star LEWIS HAMILTON.

Now I’ve learned the ladies behind Noughties mega hits such as Buttons and Don’t Cha are in talks about reuniting.

Apparently, Nicole’s feud with fellow Dolls KIMBLERLY WYATT, ASHLEY ROBERTS, MELODY THORNTON and JESSICA SUTTA is now over.

My Dolls source revealed: “The band are in talks about reuniting soon and they are trying to see if they can get all of the girls together to do it.

“The fall-outs and bitching from back in the day are all water under the bridge now.

“Nicole has seen most of the girls on and off over the years and she’s ready to get back together.

“Rather than trying to patch up their differences, it’s more about working out how to get everyone in the studio and see what it will actually sound like.”

In a new interview, Nicole further raised hopes of a return to the days of Dolls Domination.

She said of a reunion: “I don’t see why not. I miss it. I miss the girls.

“It was such a crazy time for us that stepping away from it now and taking some time away from it I’m like ‘I wanna be able to do it again and really enjoy it and take it in and enjoy the travels with the girls’.

“I think in due time if it’s meant to be, that would be a lot of fun and a blessing.”

Sounds to me like a very happening thing.

The cynics will, of course, suggest Nicole is only interested in tapping into her Pussycat past again because her last solo release, On The Rocks, charted at No90.

But in fairness, every time I’ve spoken to Nic about the Dolls over the past few years she’s always been open to the idea of getting back together when the time is right.

Don’t cha wish them the best of luck . . .

I hope they call themselves Nicole & The Pussycat Dolls.

Quite excited by this! I do hope to hear Ashley and Melody sing on some of the tracks

I hope they cover all the LOST CLASSIX from the solo works, Love Gun is crying out for Nicole's PIPES

As long as Ashley replaces Nicole as the new leader then I'm happy

I'm guessing even though she's denied it, it doesn't mean that it wont happen, they will obviously not want it to be knowledge until everything is finished. I feel sorry for Nicole, 'Big Fat Lie' did flop incredibly hard but 'Your Love' was a reasonable sized hit. I blame her management for her not performing as well as she should worldwide. She's such an incredible vocalist but has all the wrong material.

The ratings for her latest show in the US was a good success though and if I was her I would give her solo one last chance if she manages to become a judge on The Voice but release the single during the shows in order to get a live performance.

Posted by: *Tim Aug 4 2015, 04:21 PM

She did that on the X-Factor tho. She sang Pretty but didn't even f***ing release it.

Posted by: J▼hnkm Aug 4 2015, 04:25 PM

It's obvious her management had some issues, but I think the type of music Nicole clearly has more of a passion for (Big Fat Lie was clearly a passion project) is going to limit her unless she goes desperate and hoey again, which I for one REALLY WANT HER TO.

Posted by: LeeWallace Aug 4 2015, 04:29 PM

I want Killer Love Part 2.

Posted by: JosephStyles Aug 4 2015, 04:46 PM

Big Fat Lie was mostly quite bland and uninteresting, On the Rocks and Run were NEVER gonna be hits imo. I really hope the PCD reunion does happen, I can't say I ever expected it to considering all the bad blood but I'm listening to their singles right now and there's so much goodness!

OTR is her best song.

Lies. Poison is clearly the best.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 4 2015, 06:50 PM

I can't even remember how most of the songs on BFL go! Nothing on there was ever really going to be a hit, I guess Run did quite well considering but the X Factor perf should have done more than it did.

Posted by: barbaric_dan Aug 4 2015, 09:51 PM

Poison is too gay for me

Posted by: burbe Aug 4 2015, 10:18 PM

Exciting if true. Nicole can go back to releasing some interesting music again!

Pussycat Dolls Reunion: I love these girls with all my heart and would love to share the stage one last time
but unfortunately there is NO reunion or Comeback that I'm aware of. Just staying focused on being a #mumonamission 🙌"

That doesn't sound like she's putting it off. Sounds like she's got no idea laugh.gif sad.gif

Posted by: Sean. Aug 4 2015, 10:38 PM

How odd, I bought the two albums earlier today laugh.gif

I can't see Nicole wanting to share the spotlight lets be realistic here.

Posted by: (Zach) Aug 5 2015, 02:41 AM

Odd, I actually just searched Google news recently to see if there was anything going on with them. I know they've hinted at the possibility of a reunion for years but this seems to be the most concrete thing we've gotten. Would love to see it happen but only if it's for a proper album with shared vocals and a full era, not just a tour.

#JusticeForMelody
#JusticeForAshley
#JusticeForJessica
#JusticeForCarmit (is she included in this?)

Posted by: J▼hnkm Aug 5 2015, 08:34 AM

If they do go for 'shared vocals', it's totally going to end up like the STEPS reunion. A few lines here and there, maybe a chorus or two with Nicole demoted to ad libbing, but you don't have a Nicole and then not USE HER.

Posted by: *Tim Aug 5 2015, 10:47 AM

The others can hardly sing tho. The only ones slightly capable of singing were Melody and Kimberley I think. The others were probably hired as dancers laugh.gif

Posted by: ThePensmith Aug 5 2015, 10:51 AM

The trouble with this is Nicole Scherzinger WAS the Pussycat Dolls, to all intents and purposes. Apart from occasional ad-libs that the others did (Melody should have been used more I think), she was essentially a solo artist with a set of good dancers and singers behind her that looked like a band.

I loved the 'PCD' album, I blasted it all the time in 2006. 'Doll Domination' I didn't care much for apart from the first couple of singles.

Joking of course.

Posted by: (Zach) Aug 6 2015, 02:35 AM

Nicole and Melody are both strong vocalists. Melody's voice can be grating at times but she sounds good when she isn't screaming. Ashley and Jessica are capable enough if their solo efforts are anything to go by. Kimberly can't sing to save her life but sounds OK in studio. Carmit actually had a good voice as well but she's probably 40+ by now...

Ten years after they took the world by storm with a string of number one hits, The Pussycat Dolls are getting back together, the group's creator has told Daily Mail Online.

According to Robin Antin all six girls are on board for the reunion, it's just a matter of when.

Antin, 51, founded the modern burlesque troupe The Pussycat Dolls in 1995, when their debut single, Don't Cha, topped the charts in 15 countries. She says she has been in talks with band members and is doing 'everything' she can to make the reunion happen sooner rather than later.

Led by Nicole Scherzinger, the all-girl group's debut album PCD amassed sales of over 10 million, as the posse became known as the sassiest group since the Spice Girls.

Their success turned Nicole, Melody Thornton, Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts into household names as they filled out stadiums around the world with their raunchy pop act and became one of the biggest-selling girl groups of all time.

Speaking about the comeback from her Los Angeles home, Antin told Daily Mail Online: 'The history of reunions is something that everyone always wants and looks forward to and I believe that, when the time comes for the Pussycat Dolls reunion, it will be massive.

'I have spoken with all of the girls about it a lot and I truly believe that's going to happen in the very near future.

'I just spoke to Nicole and told her about this interview and she said, "You can tell them I'm totally down for it'.

'Kim and I have also been talking openly about a reunion on Instagram, so we're definitely putting it out there.

'I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen, and I know all the girls feel the same way.

'It's just about timing and all of the different pieces of the puzzle coming together. I want it and the girls want it and everyone else wants it, then it's going to happen.'

I'm really not here for Carmit tho

Posted by: LeeWallace Aug 7 2015, 06:07 AM

I think we all need to be loving Nicole.

I'm not sure how the reunion would happen, a lot of bands who have returned usually tend to flop (no doubt, black eyed peas are not doing much with new single)

THIS. In fact when they did that God awful 'Search for the Next Doll/Girlicious' show the sum total of her contributions were eerily similar to this MadTV parody:

Love that MadTV parody! It's hardly a parody as the show really was that bad...

Robin reminds me of a desperate pageant mom and she's always shading the other girls and their contributions. I love Nicole but I think her ego is big enough.

The best solo PCD track is still this:



Sorry Nicole!

Re the reunion: I don't see it working out. Doll Domination wasn't even close to being as successful as PCD and 8 years gone is a long time. Nicole shouldn't have been so disillusioned to begin with.

It's sooo good. Not only one of the best songs they've done but they actually sound like a group as well.

Posted by: ThePensmith Aug 9 2015, 02:51 PM

Not completely on topic but several of the Sunday tabs are claiming Nicole and Ed Sheeran are an item...

They would have some VERY interesting looking children if that were the case. Hawaii via Suffolk etc.

7. Wait A Minute
8. Bottle Pop
9. Jai Ho!
10. Whatcha Think About That
11. Don't Cha
12. Hush Hush; Hush Hush puke.gif

Painted Windows, Magic, Halo, and Elevator were all great too. I also enjoyed Flirt back in 2006 kink.gif

'Stickwitu' is easily their best song. wub.gif 'Don't Cha' and 'Buttons' are pretty decent too.

Posted by: (Zach) Aug 12 2015, 02:13 AM

Jonjo have you heard this? I discovered this mix on YouTube years ago and fortunately I ripped it before the video disappeared. Thought I'd upload it as I still can't find it anywhere on YouTube. Hoping it doesn't get blocked.


Posted by: Jonjo Aug 12 2015, 02:19 AM

Nope, never heard that version! But I like it. Not as much as the version on the album, but I still really like it! Thanks for sharing it. That song in general is my favourite PCD song (just in case you hadn't guessed already kink.gif)

I agree with that article, it's so on point wub.gif

Well, all apart from the vocals section: "Like for real, everyone I’ve spoken to says they sang a grand total of 0% on the 2nd album"
They mustn't have spoken to Melody because she has full on solos in quite a few of the tracks on Doll Domination.
I mean, 'Elevator' even has the vocals shared evenly between her and Nicole.. so I'm not sure how that comes to 0%.
I've always thought it was a bit of an over exaggeration that Nicole sang everything.
Granted, she sang a lot, but you could more often than not hear Melody having a wail on most tracks.

I agree Scherz. People always say that about Doll Domination when in fact there were far more shared vocals on that album than PCD. Melody had solos on Elevator, Love The Way You Love Me, and Takin' Over The World. She also had smaller parts on songs like In Person and ad libs on most of the other tracks. Of course she also had Space on the deluxe edition and Painted Windows on DD 2.0 as well.

I believe I accessed the website a year or so ago and it didn't say that. It was still accessible and set up as it was during the DD era. Official websites aren't nearly as important anymore but are still necessary, especially if an artist wants to sell merchandise.
