The Pussycat Dolls are an American girl group and dance ensemble founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995 as a burlesque troupe based in Los Angeles
Success as a music group came in 2005 with their first album PCD which debuted at number five in the US producing three successful singles "Don't Cha", "Buttons", and "Stickwitu"; the latter earned the group a Grammy Award nomination. Following the departure of Carmit Bachar in February 2008, the group continued as a quintet and in September of that year they released their second album, Doll Domination, spawning singles "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part" and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)".
Throughout their rise to fame, the group has been criticized for its overtly sexual image and explicit dance routines. The group has also been scrutinized for the over-emphasis on lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, who sings all lead vocals in the group. In late 2009/early 2010 the group went on hiatus to record their third album and prepare their next world tour. But on 2011, all the members leave the band to pursue solo career.
PCD has been taking break after all the members leave the group this year. Sad but it’s true! After Jessica Sutta left the group early year 2011, all her fellow members also takes the same action. She pursue solo career after she notice that PCD not her future after being ignore by management while she having pain backbroken. Thru ABC News, while she sick, management didn’t provide her accommodation but let her like that until she asked help from her boyfriend.
Robin Antin act as their manager also founder of PCD carry-on with their world tour without Jessica Sutta. Fyi, Jessica was solo singer with “white lies” song and acting movies before called-up join PCD. Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Robert, who is best known as BEST DANCER on PCD, left the group together to pursue their own direction. As Kimberly mention, their job just like a back-up dancer for Nicole(lead singer), take the microphone then dance on the stage. Now Kimberly has her own dance class and will released her album while Ashley active on modeling, acting career starring Step-up Movies. Then a weeks, Melody left Nicole alone as PCD member and she also ever collaboration with a rapper while on PCD. As April 2011, Nicole mentions that she working for next album for PCD, and then she admit that it will be under her name. But she left the group to spend time with her Boyfriend, F1 Driver and solo career. All the members stated that the management being unfair with them seen PCD one bus while tour-ing but only Nicole have her own bus. On May 2011, Robin Antin announced she will search a new recruitment for future PCD. She stated that outside there, lot of girls want to be PCD, let they be. Currently, she attend the audition for new recruitment for next PCD.
For your information, early their career as burlesque dancers, Carmen Electra, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and other female singers were invited to be thier lead singer. Until Nicole Scherzinger replace Carmen as lead singer due to Carmen pursue as solo same as other many female singers. Then Robin added Carmit & Melody as back-up singer for Nicole Scherzinger.
