Pussycat Dolls, Framed

Posted Tue Jan 20, 2009 12:31pm PST by John Kordosh in Framed
Few musical acts have resumes as varied as that of the Pussycat Dolls. In addition to a "Stardoll" website, where kids can create their own Pussycat Doll ("Aimed at girls aged seven to 17")...and the Pussycat Dolls Lounge in Las Vegas ("Sin City's sexiest spot!")...and a reality TV show on the CW network ("Canceled due to low ratings")...well, in addition to all of that and more, the PCD are also a real, live recording group. You know, sort of.

Naysayers claim the PCD are, in reality, little more than lead singer Nicole Scherzinger and some great marketing. At Framed, of course, our focus is on music videos, so we really don't want to say too much about the music itself. Other than, whenever you get a bunch of really hot girls to dress and pose suggestively: well, heck, that's a song in itself.

'Nuff said!

Our video this week is "I Hate This Part," from PCD's recent Doll Domination album. It shows Nicole pretending to play the piano while the rest of the PCD troupe looks good in situations that have nothing to do with anything. A wolf appears. Nicole goes for a walk in the desert. It rains. The glaciers recede. The reader looks for a blog that will hold his or her interest, if only momentarily.

That's pretty much the whole video. Is it art of the highest order? Well, that's up to you, and we eagerly await your verdict.

 

1 -- "Now...what's the best way to wave down a car? Ideas?"

 

2 -- How many more women will be forced to live in abandoned cars because they're just not good-looking enough to attract a man? Damn you, society, how many more??!

 

3 -- "Boy, it would sure suck if this was a metaphor or something."

 

4 -- "I'd best recomb my hair. Because I hate this part."

 

5 -- Five simultaneous field goals brought the Cardinals back from the 13-0 deficit! 

 

6 -- Seriously. How do you not tilt this machine?

 

7 -- Whoa! Nicole also possesses the power of Grayskull!

 

8 -- "But if you keep up this rain, Mr. Director, our tops will become impossibly clingy. Did you ever think of that?!"

 

9 -- "And if you do my bidding, sand, I promise to...um...let you lay on the beach, inert and unthinking? How's that sound?"

 

10 -- "Will the blogger human go with the obvious 'wagging their tails' joke here and thus insult my people?"

 

11 -- "Something about bones, blogger human. Bones. What, do I have to take you by the paw?"

 

12 -- C'mon. Let's rethink that gay marriage thing right now!

 

13 -- "We must leave you now, Earth. And though our journey to the ice worlds of Aldeberan promises to be harrowing, we shall return with even skimpier wardrobes! We promise!"

I honestly think that they are not literally TRYING to be bad role models.They are actually getting PAID IN CASH to do what they do.And who are we to tell them to not dress like that.Doing their job and dressing like that gives them money! And You would do the same.

I'm not saying that they are good role models.It's just that they have to try better

I think everyone is entitled to there own opinion, but come on now, it's typical that these comments are coming from women. Don't hate on these chics, there just doing what they love to do. You can't control all the young girls in this world. They are gonna do what ever the hell they want whether you teach them right from wrong.If you're a slut, so be it, if you're a good girl, then good for you. You only live once, might as well have fun. Remember, don't waste what the good lord gave ya!!!!!!!

HATERS!!!!! Don't you wish you were on tv just like them, don't cha!!!! Look, they're doing their thing, you don't have to watch them. And sluts are born everyday. So, if all they know is how to flaunt there good goods, let them be. I'm sure it's not causing you any pain. If you gotta man, just focus on keeping his eyes on you. Go on and be his own personal pussycat doll!!!

#7, please, no one wishes to be a talentless act that only gets by using sex appeal.

The dolls suck. They do. They got no talent. Really. Without modern production they'd be in the street, or actually be doing something their good at.

As for the framed, its overall pretty good. Held my attention (and not b/c of the girls you pervs).

Jealousy rears its ugly head once again.Insulting someone who sings,dances and is popular,makes you look like a stuck up high school cheerleader.If you were in their place I'm sure you wouldn't like being called names.A slut is person who has sex with older men to get money and riches from them.Last time I checked PCD were dancers who sing and perform on stage.

9. DUDE -
Yummy Yum Yum!!!

10. KristinaG -
I have to give it to PCD, its their first video with them FULLY dress...sorta.
But i think they are a good group. They have great music, they dance and sing GREAT. I dont understand why people think they are bad role models, especially to teenagers. I mean Miley Cyrus is a worse role model then these girls. I say they keep on doing what they are doing, i mean they make HELLA more money then we do anyways. I mean, who are we to tell them not to?
:)

This is crazy Beyonce show more skin then a little bit in most of her videos, two of the videos are give me body,and the other was beautiful liar w/ shakira don't get me wrong I love them to dealth,but they was more sexual in these videos then the PUSSYCAT DOLLS was in this video. So,their a embarressment,NO your the embarressment becuase their doing thier job and getting paid for what they do and have fun doing it. So, what's the problem?

I am not going to get on here and say "stop hatin," cause I really don't care; However, critique the work! Stop saying that the media needs to stop teaching that. It is for entertainment. You know, for people to listen to and watch for fun. Stop making up excuses and blaming music and artist for bad personal decisions. If you don't want you children watching it, don't let them! Simple as that. The radio and the t.v. is not your babysitter. Start accepting responsibilities for your actions. You made a bad choice, so what, who cares! All the asked is what you thought of the video. Leave constructive criticism! It's honestly pathetic what comes out of parents and people who say these things. As for my opinion on the video, It was choppy and it didn't fit with the song. That is all they asked for! Geeze find something better to do than complain about how the media is corrupting you and your children! GROW UP, BE AN ADULT AND OWN UP to your own actions. This is directed to all of those below, and above who have blamed any celebrity for any slutty behavior. Be an individual.

Nicole can do no wrong in my book.

i am guessing all the negative post on here are from fat ugly mother fcken biiaches right? stop hating and just enjoy the music.

15. Yahoo! Music User -
i think the vid is quite cool!! they obviously get told how act in the vid and pull it off oh so well! i think that everybody has a different opinion about it... though i love "when i grow up" vid more..lol

How are they an embarressment to women, because they are sexy and use their sexuality. Thats not an embarressment, thats in the music world good buisness. No one says there the greatest singers in the world but many people find there music catchy and if they like them so be it. Why is it if a girl dresses sexy she is a slut, you who have said that don't know these girls how would you know if there a slut or not. Just because some of you fat house frows and stay at home moms don't look like them, doesn't mean you should hate on them for being sexy, if you got it flaunt it. If fat complainers could do the same and make money you know you would. And to the poster who said there are nude pics of them all over the internet I say...WHERE,cause I've looked and can't find a one. Many fakes but no real ones. So to all you fatties, put down the hoho's and work out alittle and maybe you could look like one of these girls.

PCD are a group of dancers with one singer. Nichole could just go solo. She's obviously the talented one and the others are simply backup dancers and eye candy

18. Amber M -
I am sorry but our society as a whole is teaching little girls to dress and to act like sluts. PCD is just rrying to make a living like everyone else they just chose to do so by performing. What PCD is doing is no different then what WWF Divas, Supermodels, and actresses like Jolie have been doing for years and I don't hear anyone b*&$%#@/ about that.

19. Christina -
all of you people just SHUT THE HELL UP!! like seriously if you dont like the way they dress of how they act then dont pay any fu*kin attention to them. and i know a lot of people already said this but its true. THEY ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOB SO LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE!!! personally, i like them. i could really care less if the video has nothing to do with the song. what video now a day doesnt?? their music sounds good and their lyrics are catchy so all of you who dont like them, go listen to something you do like and stop being rude towards the pcd because all their doing is their job. :]

HATERS::: 1,2,4,8,9,17 YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF REALITY..SEXY SELLS AND THESE DOLLS ARE DEFINITELY SEXY BUT THEY ALSO CAN DANCE, SING, AND LOOK GOOD AT THE SAME TIME. KNOW THE DEFINITION OF A SLUT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE BEDROOM WITH ANY OF THESE GIRLS. MOMS NEED TO BE A ROLE MODEL FOR THEIR GIRLS NOT SINGERS, DANCERS, STRIPPERS, ETC.../ IM PRETTY SURE YOU GIRLS HAVE NOTHING GOING GREAT FOR YOU AND THAT'S WHY YOUR NOT WANTED OPINION IS JUST THAT AN OPINION.
