Apparently Nicole's envy of Ashley Roberts caused PCD to split says ex-doll. |

Yes I totally agree.
There are so many cover versions of their music - they have written hundreds of songs and they definitely changed the face of the music industry during their hay days. |

Not everyone likes the Beatles, not everyone likes anything in the world. Because I was born in 1992 obviously I wasn't born when the Beatles were around. I think their music was good, but I do think they are overrated. Personally I find a group such as Shalamar more uplifting. And everyone has opinions, most will obviously think The Beatles are better than PCD, but some people think PCD is better than the Beatles. It's about taste. I personally like both for different reasons.
No one should be looked down upon because of their love for a certain singer/band over another more frequently mentioned "loved" band. |

I don't know about Nicole but the others just got a salary, like any regular job. No royalties etc.
The management made a killing out of them. |

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinions and to like whatever music turns them on. Comparisons between groups of the past and groups now are pretty pointless but whether you like the Beatles or not it is a fact that they contributed a huge amount to music. They gave the world a vast body of work something pretty much unrivalled by anyone today. The music industry has changed immensely in the last 20 years and it will be very difficult for any band (however good) to replicate their success.
But obviously as I said, people don't like The Beatles music maybe just genre wise, not personally. Just like people in general don't like slow and sad songs or even sad films. |

I do find it funny that The Beatles are recognised as one of the greatest bands ever but you never here their songs on the radios.......probably cos their music is awful.

It may have already been talked about in this thread but it amused me that, after this story came out, Nicole raved about Ashely on the spin-off show. Someone was worried about her image!

Nicole is just ..yuck.. Can't stand her.. She's a diva and attention hog...
I think when the PCD's were formed -- they were formed because the record company / Ron Flair knew that Nicole Z wasn't marketable on her own.. so they needed a gimmick and the burlesque dance troupe fit the bill... Nicole wanted the spotlight though and once they had a little fame... She couldn't stand sharing even a second of air time.. That's just my opinion from reading about them through the years... Ashley is beautiful.. She is a great dancer.. a great singer.. she has a great personality.. she's sweet, likable, approachable.. She has charisma and appeal and seems REAL... A lot of qualities which come naturally to her.. These attributes can't be "learned" -- you either have it or you don't.. And in my opinion, Nicole doesn't possess them.. Nicole's a diva and lacks charisma and depth....which is why her solo career was a big fail... I wanted Ashley to win.. but I am happy she made it to 2nd place..

No one should be looked down upon because of their love for a certain singer/band over another more frequently mentioned "loved" band. ) I came to understand quite how remarkable they are. I also figured out, as you do, that so many songs that were hits right through the later decades of the 20th century were either direct covers of or thinly veiled tributes to The Beatles music. Oasis, anyone?Thinking the Pussycat Dolls are BETTER than The Beatles is not a matter of taste. It's a matter of musical ignorance. A seminal band that changed the face of modern music is in an entirely different category of assessment to a bunch of burlesque dancers singing about wanting boobies. Quote:

That's true. You can't really compare bands from different decades. Even Spice Girls and Little Mix are a stretch even though they are only 2 decades apart, compared to The Beatles and PCD who were 4 decades apart.
But obviously as I said, people don't like The Beatles music maybe just genre wise, not personally. Just like people in general don't like slow and sad songs or even sad films. The best music doesn't have to be groundbreaking (The Killers are virtually nostalgic, but they're still one of the best groups around at the moment) but the groundbreaking music is always great.

I prefer the Stones to the Beatles - but prefer John Lennon solo to both, if that makes any sense.
