Roll your eyes or--worse--invoke the Spice Girls all you want: Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like any one of the members of this revolving collective? Dissing the Pussycat Dolls is like denying you want a peek at the Victoria's Secret runway show--a foolhardy stance nobody's going to believe anyway. Never mind, for a moment, the semi-lewd pleasures of the disc's visuals (midriffs galore!): the pop on parade by this gang of writhers and eyelash-batters isn't bad. Nicole Scherzinger, a former member of the failed prefab teen pop act Eden's Crush, brings it with determination and carefully distributed shots of sweetness. More important, she gets high-wattage help. Busta Rhymes, Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am, and Timbaland all step in to dress up the Dolls' sound, and the songwriters' and producers behind PCD clearly know how to sexify a disc without sinking it into the gutter. What's best about the Dolls' debut, though, is its shamelessness. This is manufactured friskiness that doesn't take itself seriously; these girls don't want a Grammy, they only want to pounce. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description
"Inside every woman is a Pussycat Doll," says Robin Antin, the creator of the singing-and-dancing ensemble that has risen from underground cool to major-label hot. "It's about female empowerment, about being confident with who you are. It's about singing and dancing in front of a mirror by yourself and having fun."

With their debut album released by A&M Records in summer 2005 (led by "Don't Cha," a duet with Busta Rhymes, written and produced by Cee-Lo), the Pussycat Dolls go beyond being extraordinarily beautiful. With tremendous voices, and after working with today's top songwriters and producers, the Pussycat Dolls are ready to stamp their mark on music and on attitudes. "To me, a Pussycat Doll is fearless but also vulnerable," says lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. "We're strong but we like to play too. The line in 'Don't Cha'--'don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me'--is meant to be empowering. The Pussycat Dolls are not about just being hot but also about saying something with real feeling."

From Scherzinger, who earlier scored a Top 10 album and single while in girl group Eden's Crush, to Jessica Sutta, the one-time captain of the Miami Heat dance troupe; from Carmit Bachar, the La Vida Loca girl on Ricky Martin's world tour, to Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt, two of the most talented young dancers in Hollywood, and Melody Thornton, a stunning singer chosen from an open audition, these Pussycat Dolls are the new incarnation--more contemporary, more street--of the group whose Sunset Strip performances became the hippest ticket in Hollywood.

Customer Reviews

Do people really think these chicks are empowering????
Seriously? Come on. For real? People have actually given this piece of garbage of an album 5 stars? And they truly believe these skanks are empowering? What has happened in our culture that crap like this passes as music? In one breath, they're trying to steal a man away from another woman, convincing the guy that they're "hot" and "raw" and in another breath they're saying how they wanna stick with the guy they're with forever. I just don't get it. How can you be a total man stealing whore one minute (and completely full of yourself while doing it I might add) and then the next you want to be the loving faithful girlfriend who wants a long lasting relationship? Their singing abilities are average at best, and if they weren't half naked all the time, bending over chairs, thrashing around like wild animals, and singing about how sexy and hot they were, nobody would be paying attention to this garbage. This is the epidomy of why sex sells.

Good songs, good looking girls, but weird presentation
This album is a classic and I love the songs on it. However, why is Nichole the only person who sings regularly? When are the additional vocals and background vocals taking place? Personally I like this CD and the group, but I think it is weird that there are 6 girls and only one is supposed to be singing. Whatever. My personal favorite song on this album is "Buttons" because it reminds me of a girl I knew in college and I danced to that song with her. This album is one of those albums where you either love it or hate it and that is a personal decision for any music listener to make.

PCD
CD is outstanding; even my grandchildren love it and they range from 16 to 3.
