Biography
In the mid-2000s, provocative "Pussycat Dolls" broke into the screens of music channels. Seductive beauties combining dance talents and pleasant voices, conquered world charts. True, the success of the team lasted not long. But in January 2018, a photo of ambitious "cats" was again knocked on the pages of the gloss. It is rumored that "PCD" will take a second attempt to win a place in world musical history.History of creation
The ideological inspirer and the creator of the Music Group "Pussycat Dolls" became, oddly enough, choreographer. In 1993, Robin Antin, who had time to glorify among Hollywood celebrities as a director of dance numbers, decided to create his own creative team.
The first participants of the troupe - Christina Eptgate and Karl Kama. The main trio of the dance trio was the peculiar style - the rooms were performed under the songs of the 50s, and the costumes were performed in the style of burlesque workers and cabaret.
The first time the girl was rehearsed in the basement of Applegate actress and did not even think about the vocal rooms. Using our own connections, Robin knocked the contract for the dancers to performances at the club "The Viper Room".
Unusual feed and purposeful sexual movements attracted the attention of the public. Pussycat Dolls has become a permanent star of the institution and introduced an innovation in his own repertoire - the girls were invited to their team of Hollywood stars.
The temporary participant of the show became Paris Hilton, Pink, Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra. The latter was delayed in a group of 2 years, and after the change of the activities of the "cat" left the team.
The popularity of seductive girls whose number by 2001 has grown significantly, attracted the attention of production companies. In 2002, an unusual show went beyond night clubs and began to appear in magazines (for example, in Playboy) and on television screens. By 2003, Jimmy Ayovin, a well-known producer of Music label "Interscope Records" suggested Robin to master the new field - R & B music.
Compound
It could not be a speech in order to storm the musical Olympus. Robin Antin took the position of administrator and producer. After many castings in the group included several attractive girls, which, in addition to choreography, possessed vocal data.
One of the first producers signed a contract with Nicole Sherezinger. Before the appearance in the group, the Eastern Beauty managed to learn the show-business from the inside. Nicole participated in the Music show "PopStar", upon completion of which he headed the group "Eden's Crash". Immediately after the collapse of the collective, which did not receive much success among Americans, the girl entered the "Pussycat Dolls".
The second vocalist became Melody Thornton. Unlike the rest of the participants, the girl did not study the dance craft, but possessed a strong voice. Producers who realized that one Nicole would not cope with vocals, grabbed the opportunity to work with the singer.
Third for strengthening the vocal component producers invited Kayy Jones. True, the girl stayed in the team less than a year. Later Robin Antin will declare that Jones was not at all in the group at all.
By the time the musical project is launched, the Group consisted of 9 girls. From the "old" participants of the group in the upgraded team included: Kimberly Wayatt, Karmite Bucar, Casey Campbell, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Satta, Sia Batten.
In this form, the girl broke into television screens and into radio receivers with two singles that sounded in cartoons. After a year of joint speeches, the group was leaving Sai Batten and Casey Campbell, who decided to concentrate on solo careers. The same decision was made by Kaya Jones. By the time the first album "Pussycat Dolls" became quintet.
Music
In September 2005, the debut disk of the ambitious team broke into the world charts. "Pussycat Dolls" released the "PCD" album, which took advantage of the already proven method. The production of singles producers attracted well-known and popular performers.
The first composition that was broadcast separately, and later included in the album, became the song "Don't CHA". Seductive beauties performed the track together with Raper Bast Rims.
A week after the release of the song took a leading place in the charts of Great Britain, Switzerland, Holland, Ireland, Denmark and, of course, America. Later, the composition will fall into the nomination for the Grammy Award, but will not win a reward.
The Single "Beep" was not less noticeable, the name of which mimics the beep, which mocks obscene speech. The BLACK EEDE PEAS band has become invited soloists. And although BEEP did not beat the first track success, the composition fastened the charming "cats" in world rankings.
Each subsequent single, published in support "PCD", attracted less attention to fans to the work of the group. Even Snoupe Dog and Timbalond, who took part in the "Button" and Wait A Minute, did not help again to get out of the leaders.
Musical critics did not show favor. Most of the reviews were reduced to one thought - dance compositions do not constitute anything outstanding. The National Basketball Association saved from the failure, who chose the song "Right Now" Soundtrack to advertising sealances.
To raise the album rating, beauties are sent in the PCD World Tour tour, which take Rihanna. Another unknown singer heated the crowd with the crowds before the "cat" in the UK.
In September 2008, the second album of an unusual team was released. By the time the "DOLL DOMINATION" launch, Quintet turned into a quartet. The group was abandoned by the karmite BChar. Among the fans and journalists there were conversations about the unequal division of merit in the team. Nicole Sherezinger became an explicit leader of "cats", which spawned conflicts and rumors about the decay of the group.
The second album of the team did not repeat and half the success of the debut disk. Restarting "DOLL DOMINATION" also did not bring the expected popularity. The privileged position of Nicole only aggravated the situation in the team.
After the tour in support of an unsuccessful album in the press, an interview with displeased "cats" was leaked. By 2010, one after one "Pussycat Dolls" left all the participants except Sherzinger.
In order to save the situation, the founder of the collective stated that all changes in the composition were long scheduled. Robin Anthin categorically denied the breakdown of the troupe. But after the departure of the main soloist, who wished to start the solo career, the producers honestly announced the dissolution "PCD".
"Pussycat Dolls" now
In mid-2017, news about the reunification of the team appeared in the American press. The reason for rumors was the joint appearance of Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wayatt and Nicole Sherezinger on the red carpet of the musical premium.
Simultaneously with the joyful for fans, the Tabloid's event decorated the revelation of Kayy Jones. The girl accused the group producers in coercion to prostitution. Allegedly all the time that Jones was part of the team, the singer was forced to sell themselves. The lawyers of the Group producers are preparing a large-scale claim for slander to refute the statement of Kayy.
According to Kimberly Whitet, Pussycat Dolls plan to launch a large-scale tour that will start in America in 2018 and will continue in 2019 in the UK. Kimberly itself, in addition to the tour, would gladly performed in the walls of The Viper Room, where the popular team made his first steps.
