I thought so too. I thought they were with that huge underground burlesque thing all the celebrities take part in but it turns out they had nothing to do with that they just took their name!

I'd like to correct myself I was getting bad info here's a few paragraphs about how they came to be:

From triple-threat Scherzinger, to Jessica Sutta, the one-time captain of the Miami Heat dance troupe; from Carmit Bachar, the “La Vida Loca” girl on Ricky Martin’s world tour, to Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt, two of the most talented young dancers in Hollywood, and Melody Thornton, a young powerhouse singer, these Pussycat Dolls represent the next step for the group whose Sunset Strip performances became the hippest ticket in Hollywood.

The Pussycat Dolls were born in a tiny dance studio in the L.A. garage of actress Christina Applegate, with whom Antin was rooming in the early ‘90s. Antin had appeared in commercials, and did choreography for music videos for the likes of Smash Mouth, The Offspring and No Doubt. “But I wanted to do something creative and different,” she says.

So Antin invited over a few girlfriends who were also tour/music video dancers and they began to play around with her own choreography, a style endowed with the spirit of famed choreographer Bob Fosse (“Sweet Charity,” “Cabaret”) but also music from Led Zeppelin to punk rock, Siouxsie and The Banshees to Bjork, and fashion as well. Meanwhile Applegate suggested they perform at the Sunset Strip’s renowned Viper Room. Owner Johnny Depp saw them rehearse and reportedly said, “This is why I opened a club.” The Pussycat Dolls, which have seen many members in its evolving lineup since debuting in 1995, became the Thursday night opening act for the next six years.

A turning point came in 2000 when No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani came to a show and said she’d love to do a guest spot, not just to dance but to sing. So did Christina Aguilera. In 2002 it was time to take the show to a bigger venue and so The Pussycat Dolls moved to The Roxy. For two shows a week, for seven weeks, the place was sold out. Other guest performers included Brittany Murphy, Charlize Theron, Nikka Costa, Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson. All of them appeared without pay, just for the fun of it, including emcee Applegate

Not a huge fan, esp after watchin a couple of their life performances, why dose this nicole sing anyways? no talent at all, she can't carry a freakin tune!
but hey cant help it, their songs are pretty catchy, cant stop myself frm movin while listenin to either(dooncha) or (beep)

 

[mnis]

even though im not a fan of pcd. I think nicole has a great voice

i didn't realise they were a group till only a few days ago...
i thought the singer (is she the main singer?) gets most of the attention in the videos, like when they show parts with other singers, she's usually the one with them. and the rest would be the backup dancers.
except now of course, with that beeping song.

i think she's very good-looking anyway (*o*) and that new song, i can't get over how cool it is that they added that scary violin sound (just like when they used something like it for Britney Spear's ''TOXIC")

I don't know which thread is scarier, this, or the one about fergie...

Guilty pleasure of mine, not gonna lie... I think that Nicole is beyond gorgeous, and I adore that 'Buttons' song.

 

[summerbreeze]

In person she's pretty average. The lighting in her videos is quite flattering to her.

I definetly do not think she is average, she is sooo tall and lean, she looks like a model....

 

[style_savy]

I think she meant her facial looks^

 

[*Eylul*]

Why does always the brunette (the ugliest) one sings?!
I mean why are they a group then?She could be a singer herself or?

 

[Miss Galliano]

yes but they look great 6 of them .. I love beep and Sway these tracks are hot in the club you can dance and have a nice flow to it

 

[*Eylul*]

But they are making music...they are not a group to look nice or are they also like this stupid girl bands?

I guess it was silly to ask that
