When listening to this album, there are no moments of feeling down since confidence shines throughout. Above all, the tracks can get one feeling liberated, free, and happy to take on anything.
Aside those excellent songs, my other favorites would be "I Don't Need A Man" for the attitude lyrics and soulful singing, "Hot Stuff (I Want You Back)" since it reminds me of the disco Donna Summer days, "Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go" and "Bite The Dust" for the fast paced, energetic dance styles. The words, the melodic dance beats, and the romantic moments can cause empathy to many who have been through a spiraling roller coaster with vast lovers.
Overall, there are great dance beats, catchy hooks, positive vibes, and much more to enjoy. There are many excellent selections to take pleasure in but among the top songs recognized as hot dance club singles are "Don't Cha" (featuring Busta Rhymes), "Beep" (featuring Will.I.am) and the catchy "Wait A Minute" (featuring Timbaland).
The dance styles combined with the flirtatious and overflowing empowering "filled with attitude" lyrics make this a total smash. The soulful singing, back to disco sounds, and musical accompaniment make this a more than pleasurable experience.
While the long ride and journey can be wild and tough, the songs prove that you are what your experiences make you: SPECIAL and HOT.
Beep was a catchy hit that showed the girls flirting with their hotness. Good efforts from the Dolls. A filler track that could have been placed with then bonus track FLIRT.11. This Nicole powered song had a hot video to make up for the lack there of, of a song. Trying to decide what really the girls were trying to get at. She knows what she wants and knows how to deliver a banger.9. Other dolls such as Carmit and Melody where able to show their skills off on National TV.
She was dropped and the song was and became a hit for the Pussycat Dolls and was the lead single of their cd PCD.1. Best song on the album.6. With the little success of her singing it. I Don't Need a Man (3.5 of 5) - A good break-up song. Hot Stuff (I Want You Back) (3 of 5) - Well, when you get to this track (along with another on the CD) you are giving a curveball. Melody's rips go perfect and top the song.
This song is neither good nor bad. 2 filler tracks and most of the others good have charted well, if released. Feelin Good (4 of 5) - Shows the many vocal skills of Nicole. Beep (4 of 5) - Showed the girls dancing at their best aside from the Buttons video. From the beginnig to the end, you get the sense of wanting to tease or put on a show when the song plays. A sweet tweeny type song, where she is saying No one is going to love her better and she's going to stick with her man forever. Melody again holds it down with the rips in the song.10. It is so so.
Showed a climpse of what Melody and Carmit had to offer to the group.3. Buttons (5 of 5) - Saultry is not the word for this sexy song. Although one wondered who was really singing the song and who was in the group one loved the song and video. A good song for the love birds.5. Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go (3.5 of 5) - The Dolls performed this song on Fashion Rock and did a well job on it. Nice and relaxed.In all the CD is fairly good.
Right Now (2 of 5) - This is the other curveball where the Dolls try and go back to the old times and it doesn't work with the CD. Not much to review on that one.8. Nicole showed she was the "Head Doll"2. They are happy being who they are.7. Its a feel good track like the title of it says. Although her version, from my point of view, lacked emotion and any character, it was pretty catchy.
Good track.12.
Don't Cha (4.5 of 5) - Great first single for the girls.
Wait a Minute (3 of 5) - Not a personal favorite of mine.
They are declaring their woman-hood in this song saying they don't a man to be happy, to get on with life.
Bite The Dust (4 of 5) - Great intro to the song, it keeps you banging your head and fist to it.
Stickwitu (4 of 5) - Great ballad from the Girls.
If you can remember back in 2004, of a female artist named TORI ALAMAZE - she entered the charts at number 53 with her version of Don't Cha.
Timbaland had a good beat but just lacked lyrics.4.
How Many Times, How Many Lies (4 of 5) - Nicole's writing and vocal skills are clear in this song.

Yes, these girls somewhat rely on their sex appeal to give them a fan base, however their songs attract women, and are not completely distasteful. Christina Applegate was the actress who initially stuck with the Pussycat Dolls when they were still a burlesque group, and other actresses like Pamela and Carmen merely passed through to get their chance to become a part of the Pussycat Dolls for a short time, not to fuel their image. Some people assume things about this group that are just not true. Their songs put women first, unlike copycats of theirs who use sex appeal in both their look and their lyrics to turn everyone off.
for destiny's child there is "beyonce knowles" who had alot of success solo in the past and now we have the pussycat dolls with nicole scherzinger.And yeah i loved thier debut album and it had many hit singles,several up beat dancey tracks especially. over the past decade, definatly there were 2 girl groups that really got my attention, one being "destiny's child" and the other one "mis-teeq" those 2 girl groups had huge success early this decade worldwide and this new girl group the pussycat dolls does remind me of them in a very simular way.in each of these famous girl groups there are 3 definatly main female singers in them that made them famous, for mis-teeq there was "alesha dixon" who has her debut solo cd coming out this year. the entire cd is very good also and i cannot wait for their next album, and nicole and alesha's new cds too.
