Pussycat Dolls

The Pussycat Dolls are the brainchild of Robin Antin, a Los Angeles-based choreographer and entertainer, who formed the group as a modern day burlesque dance troupe in 1995. The group rose to prominence throughout the late 1990’s, performing sold out floor shows at Los Angeles’ hottest clubs. It wasn’t long before the tremendously sexy ladies of the Pussycat Dolls began to attract national attention, nabbing a Playboy article in 1999 and a similar feature in Maxim in 2002. In its early days, Christina Aguilera, Christina Applegate, and Carmen Electra were all members of the group.

In 2003 Antin decided to change the group’s focus, reforming the Pussycat Dolls as a vocal ensemble at the urging of Interscope Records executive Jimmy Iovine (U2, Eminem). After a massive lineup shuffle the group’s roster was trimmed to include only singers, although the Pussycat Dolls retain many elements of their prior dance act for use during their live shows. The end result was a sexy, image-oriented, all-girl dance-pop troupe stylistically similar to Danity Kane or Girlicious. Currently, the group’s lineup consists of lead singers Nicole Scherzinger (formerly of Eden’s Crush) and Melody Thornton, along with background vocalists Jessica Sutta, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt.

After spending 2004 and most of 2005 in the studio (contributing to the soundtracks of the 2004 motion pictures Shark Tale and Shall We Dance?), the Pussycat Dolls finally released their first album PCD on A&M Records in late 2005. The Timbaland-produced album quickly proved to become an immense commercial success, moving over six million units worldwide after climbing to the 5th spot of the Billboard 200. PCD has since produced seven singles, among them the sentimental ballad "Stickwitu" and the flirtatious dance track "Buttons", which features rapper Snoop Dogg.

In the wake of PCD’s release the Pussycat Dolls embarked on an extensive worldwide tour throughout 2006 and 2007. Humorously, their sensual stage antics caused the group to receive a gross indecency charge from the Malaysian Minister of Culture, Arts, and Heritage that was later settled for under $1400. After sharing the stage with acts like Rihanna, The Black Eyed Peas, and Christine Aguilera for the better part of two years, the Pussycat Dolls have returned to the studio in 2008 to work on their upcoming album, tentatively titled To Those Who Wait.

From Discogs:

The Pussycat Dolls began as a revue act at 'The Pussycat Lounge' in Las Vegas, incorporating live, hip-hop-heavy R&B into their softcore stage show. Doll and head choreographer Robin Antin decided to put a music group together from some of the members of the revue as well as some new recruits. The resulting group had many pop, R&B and dance hits, but by 2010, only Nicole Sherzinger remained as part of the line-up, and four new girls were added.

From Wikipedia:

The Pussycat Dolls (abbreviated to PCD) are an American pop/R&B girl group and dance ensemble founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995 as a burlesque troupe based in Los Angeles. After attracting national attention, Antin eventually negotiated a record deal with Interscope Records in 2003 turning the group into a music franchise, comprising Nicole Scherzinger alongside Melody Thornton, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt and Carmit Bachar. Since then the group has developed a global image and commercial brand overseen by Antin, Interscope and various partners. They have diversified into reality television programs, a Las Vegas act and product endorsements amongst other things.

Success as a music group came in 2005 with their first album PCD which debuted at number five in the US producing three successful singles "Don't Cha", "Buttons", and "Stickwitu"; the latter earned the group a Grammy Award nomination. Following the departure of Carmit Bachar in March 2008, the group continued as a quintet and in September of that year they released their second album, Doll Domination, spawning singles "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part" and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)".

Throughout their rise to fame, the group has been criticized for its overtly sexual image and explicit dance routines. The group has also been scrutinized for the over-emphasis on lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, who sings all lead vocals in the group. In late 2009 / early 2010 the group went on hiatus to record their third album and prepare their next world tour. It has since been confirmed that Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Roberts and Melody Thornton have all left the group to pursue solo careers. In May 2010 it was announced that Scherzinger will remain lead singer of the group along with the new recruits: Vanessa Curry, Kherington Payne, Rino Nakasone-Razalan and Jamie Lee Ruiz whom together will produce a new studio album for 2010 and accompanying world tour.
