When The Pussycat Dolls shot to worldwide fame after they released their dance hit “Don’t Cha,” perhaps above and beyond the other group members, critics and fans adored Queen Doll Nicole Scherzinger.
Now, four years later, it seems that the group’s lead vocalist receives more negative criticism than support. On sites like YouTube and other message board forums, countless of “fans” accuse Nicole of constantly providing lead vocals while other vocally talented members, most notably Melody Thornton, rarely, if ever, sing.
But why does that still surprise people?
When the group originally signed their record deal, Nicole was specifically given the role of lead singer. At no point were Thornton, Jessica Sutta, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt or ex-member Carmit Bachar given equal status in the group.
So yes, while the name Nicole and The Pussycat Dolls may be more suitable, I have yet to hear the other Dolls complain that they are just merely background dancers to Nicole.

A promotions company that organized a Pussycat Dolls concert in Malaysia has been fined for violating decency laws with the show.
According to the BBC, Absolute Entertainment was slapped with a 10,000 Ringgits ($3000 CDN) fine for letting the group perform a “sexually suggestive” set.
The concert took place in the Kuala Lumpur suburb on July 26. The council responsible for the area issued the fine.
A complaint by Malaysia’s culture minister led to the punishment.
“I believe the way the Pussycat Dolls behaved on stage amounted to gross indecency,” he said, according to local newspaper the Malay Mail.
It’s not the first time that Malaysian authorities have targeted musicians for decency regulations. In 2003, Linkin Park was told they couldn’t wear shorts while playing in the country. And in 2004, Mariah Carey was told to heed regulations on clothing.
Pop/burlesque/dance/whatever group The Pussycat Dolls is enlisting the help of reality TV to find their newest member.
According to the BBC, an eight-part series called “The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll” will air on the CW network. The contestant who ends up winning the televised competition will join the current Dolls lineup.
Like many TV talent competitions, portions of the series will be broadcast live. Would-be Dolls will be put to the test by the group’s founder and choreographer, Robin Antin.
“At its core, this show goes beyond just finding a new Pussycat Doll – it’s about female empowerment, self-discovery and personal transformation,” said CW’s president of entertainment, Dawn Ostroff.
Of course, the show will likely offer a hefty dose of Dolls-esque raunch and skin with its “female empowerment.”
The show is expected to air in 2007.
Toymaker Hasbro Inc. has abandoned a planned line of dolls inspired by the Pussycat Dolls. Billboard reports that Hasbro decided the dolls were “inappropriate” for the company to market to their young customer base.
Pussycat Dolls, an all-female music group, is known for racy lyrics and barely-there outfits.
A U.S. advocacy group called Dads & Daughters had campaigned against the toy line.
“We asked Hasbro executives to imagine encouraging their own 6-year-old daughters and granddaughters to engage in developmentally unhealthy behavior,” said Joe Kelly, president of Dads & Daughters, in a statement.”It appears that they did that, and then made the right decision for their families, our families, and the company.”
It’s been six months since the Pussycat Dolls released their debut single, “Don’t Cha,” and looking over the Billboard charts will reveal that they still hold a spot near the top.
