Pussycat Dolls Don't Cha reminds me in parts of when doves cry. Sorry if someone has said this before on here, but how similar does the structure and even background vocals sound to something Prince would do? In fact when I first heard the track I was convinced that he was involved with it... any views? | |

I told ya this song was like Glamourous Life/Vanity 6 and I wondered if Prince allowed it. Heard it or Had any Involvement with it?

Speaking of Pussy Cat Dolls I can't believe how amazingly gorgeous Nicole is.. she is breathtaking in my opinion.
And I'm sure Prince has/will notice her too... she is a gorgoues mix of Vanity, Appolonia and Mayte combined... his type to a tee.. This is one girl I would turn for... "There comes a road in every man's journey that he's afraid to walk on his own.
I'm here to tell you, I'm at that road. And I would rather walk it with you than walk it alone". | |

It kinda reminds of Sheila's Glamorous Life | |

Something about the lead singer's face is VERRRY off/odd. Something is funky with that nose and lip shape. HMMMMM, nose-job anyone? Not pretty at all IMHO. She wishes she were a Vanity/Apollonia/Mayte knock-off. Jessica Alba looks more Mayte-ish than she does. I wanna b ur fantasy and maybe u could be mine! | |

It was written by Cee-LO Froom Goodie Mob "Thinking like the Keys on Prince's piano, we'll be just fine" | |

It reminds me of Toy Box by Sheila E Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. | |

I don't think I like the implications of the lyrics.
It's about man stealing. Can't the girl find her own man? I know a lot of chicks that do this, and I think it's pathetic and disrespectful. | |

Pussycat Dolls the name, sounds like a Prince thing...the background rythmn and beat is also princey...the vocals princey...the lead singer is better for Prince than wifey Mani(sorry Mani, you need more talent for showbiz)

Now that I've heard this song more (mainly on TV shows).....
I've decided it is NOT lifting Glam Life or Vanity 6. Conceptually, yeah, it's similar..... scantily sclad, sexaully aggressive woman singing on stage etc..... Musically, the chorus maybe overlaps a teeny bit with the lead sax line in Glam Life, but not enough to be borrowing it, and the feel is so much different (funky, syncopated sax vs. robotic, non-melodic vocals). It's a sparse arrangement, so you coudl say it's similar to When Doves Cry but again, not enough to really be borrowing it. There are lots of songs that have sparse arrangements. Britney's songs Toxic and Slave are much more of a "rip" of Prince material than this is. | |
