Whether you hate them or not, they did change the landscape to a certain degree. Lets face it NO ONE was doing lounge/standards, and all of a sudden PCD comes along and sells 10 million worldwide and everyone from Christina Aguilera to Danity Kane change it up, and wanna be WORLD sellers. Touring was also the thing that sold those records worldwide, and doing every form of TV show in other countries,. and trust me they did them all, i have over 300 appearances just from the UK in one year. The Girls toured non-stop, on their own, with Aguilera and Danity Kane and some shows with Rihanna, they played more shows in one year than Beyonce has done in her career.

"When i Grow up" is the first single and its produced by Rodney Jerkins, i was a bit worried but they premiered it last nite live on the Jimmy Kimmel show, it was the first time they actually did the song anywhere, and it kicks ass, a breath of fresh air from this LAZY RBPOP thats been coming out from the female artists, whether its Mariah or the boring Leona Lewis, its just time for some FAST SONGS, different songs, with that 80's vibe again. Already the girls have a full lineup, doing the Kimmel show last nite, a concert on the 23rd, Maxims HOT show on the 27th, the MTV movie Awards on the 1st of June, secret gig in NYC in June and of course the outdoor concert series, and all this before their regular tour and the album is out. The album has no set date, but i have been told mid to late July. This is all the same in the way they moved Dont Cha, releasing it well before the album, and really the single took months to peak, there was no instant debut in the top 10, to my recollection the song debuted at 97 back in 2005.

?!?!

PCD that is doing cds is nothing like the PCD burlesque show that celebrities used to attend and perform in. PCD of cds is just like DC or TLC or any other girl group.

Yeah, this thread is gonna be GREAT!

Now, what I want to know is: How much do you get paid to promote these groups on message boards and such, because I will gladly start trumpeting Girlicious as avant-garde, trendsetting feminists if they'll only add me to the payroll. Hell, if they want , I'd even let Flopzinger be my friend and say PCD invented the unitard with the flank cutouts ("everyone's wearing it!") if I got an extra $100/year out of it.

Not really, ive never heard Destinys Child or TLC sing anything like "Right Now" or "Feelin Good" or even attempt to put that sound on a record, or covers of "Hot Stuff" but done in a disco sound not a cheesy RB sound. PCD has a sound seperate from all of them, mainly since 3 of them were originals of that VEGAS show. And their new single has guitars and SPEED to their song, and no pop female group or solo is even attempting that.

lastdecember said:

i'm sorry PCD the pop group is as far from PCD the Burelesque show as you can get.

VoicesCarry said:

Ok so Christina Aguilera's "all of a sudden" lounge album was her original idea? Come on, lets get real. And the fact that you have girl groups like Danity Kane all of a sudden talking about being OVERSEAS, those girls didnt even know what Europe was till diddy showed them what PCD was doing. Girlicious was nothing more than a cash in done by, guess who, the label, thats what they do, if child molestors were selling than they would slap a Timbaland beat on it and sell it.

And why would i care if this sells or not, in this country, SHIT im a fucking a-Ha fan, a group that has nothing to do with america, but can sell more than most american artists, where it counts the most and thats overseas, thats where the money is.

this girl sounds like a drag queen

Is PCD the group that Cassie’s in?

I always feel like an old lady when I say this stuff but I am horrified for the future where people who love this crap populate the earth

Ok, so, to recap:

1. PCD have been a huge influence in the music industry since they arrived on the scene in 2005.
2. PCD have a sound that is completely unique and totally revolutionary. No one is making pop music like PCD.
3. PCD were the first to ever realize that many fans live outside the US, and that it is necessary to promote and tour in these regions.

I just want to know what to tell the label when they ask me to repeat their instructions. lastdecember, please confirm.

Well this really brings out my hyper mysoginistic woman hating ways. I can't believe people are real about these filthy bitches. This shit aint the second coming folks. Attrocious

Burlesque Revival was not their idea. Bette Midler has been doing it since the 70s. Madonna did it in the 90s and on the RIT tour. Christina has been giving props to the 30s and 40s era sound since day one that's why she did a PCD show in 2001. She did PCD before her Stripped Album.

VoicesCarry said:

Seriously. It comes down to this. They are willing to swing their fallopian tubes around in public. Bottom line

Only when the john pays for more than one girl. That shit comes at a premium.

VoicesCarry said:

OUCH

Well I will say this much for them, PCD is a whole lot better than their slutty, no-talent younger sisters Skankilic I mean Girlicious!

BTW, LastDecember Girlicious was created by Robin Antin, the same lady who created PCD

VoicesCarry said:

Were did i talk Revolution? I mean we have 40 and 50 year old singers out there who are trying to be 9 year olds with their music, is that a revolution?

Well PCD woke up dumb-asses like Rihanna and Danity Kane to actually see theres a world outside of the USA, was it their original idea no that would be QUEEN and ABBA who have sold more than any artists period.

Do PCD have a sound unique, NO, but are there others putting out a pop song with a freaking Guitar in it? or doesnt have that lazy fucking RB Mariah Carey beat?

I mean call it what is, you dont dig it, whatever, but its scary when the followers are making music light years better than the originators (and im not talking PCD, there are others that are doing better pop/rb than the so-called divas, who are "phoning it in" and doing it poorly.

She needs to be strung up by her tits and flogged in the public square

VoicesCarry said:

Shes not in the group they have reduced to a 5 member group.

lastdecember said:

Then why not create a thread honoring them instead of throwing this crap in our eyes

ehuffnsd said:

ACTUALLY no, PCD was formed in 1992, by Robin Antin and everyone from Britney to Aguilera to jessica simpson to stefani fronted them as guests, Aguilera GOT THE SCIENCE from that. Christina's good but she knew nothing of Lounge acts.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

You know what? You aren't lying. My friend sent me a pic taken from the first row at one of their shows and let's just say that if some of them are going to wear short-shorts that loose, then maybe panties underneath would be a good idea.

NaughtyKitty said:

At request from the label BECAUSE, Jimmy Iovine fronted on PCD and delayed a Second album, because he's dumb and wanted to milk the idea, then when PCD got back together to do the second record, the Girlicious cash in was already happening and they couldnt just cancel the whole thing mid-season, so they have been signed to another label.

I'd do 'em.

lastdecember said:

4. PCD are doing it better than any established artists.



5. No one understands the global business model like PCD. They are absolutely brilliant.



6. Only PCD make pop songs with guitars. Genius writers and producers, they know exactly what it takes to trump all others in the music industry.



The irony is, I don't mind the music. They're fun, vaccuous and disposable songs. But that's it.
