"React" will be released on January 24.

Already starting off wrong.

Should it be released earlier? I feel like it will only be Nicole singing again.

Btw 99% sure the PCD Facebook page was hacked - they are posting some weird ass s**t rn.

Same as the Rita Ora one...

They're under the same management team so maybe that's why

As a Danity Kane stan, I did not mess with PCD. I didn't get the structure of them, and I was bitter because I felt they got all the promo $$ Danity Kane deserved to have. But after watching the comeback performance, I visited their discography. I have been sleeping on them!! Both albums are just full of bops!

The songs that weren't big in the US absolutely should've been (Beep, Wait A Minute, Bottle Pop, WHATCHA THINK ABOUT THAT) and album tracks like Bite The Dust, Halo, Magic, Who's Gonna Love You... The bops are endless and I've just been getting my entire life! That's all.

Nicole, Kim and Ashley were all in the studio with one of the "React" producers in London today:

Carmit and Jessica went back to the US shortly after the performance but they've been posting pics and stories suggesting they've also been together multiple times since that first ET interview they did.

Good to know it's not just Nicole Nicole-ing the whole song!

[PGriffin]

I'm sorry but what's up with sis' wig? The one with the heavy bangs...it's distracting!

[kmbgs]

Give the girls a few ad libs and a co-write credit here or there

^^^^ it does not look bad there! I guess it just needed time to settle.

Still forever pressed that they held back Melody so so much,no surprise that she didn't join back

But it's cool to see them come back

[PGriffin]

sooo the other girls will get to finally sing on the new material (which will end up flopping or not being as big as their minor hits) hmmmmm.

Maybe if Melody could sing live without chronically veering off pitch, she would have had a greater vocal presence.

I went and listened to some of Jessica's solo stuff bc I remember thinking her parts in Top of The World were cute. The songs were meh, but I actually like the tone of her voice, it's perfect for a pop girl group.

Nah... Melody could've sang like Beyonce, Nicole wasn't about to share any of that spotlight! I'm really interested to hear the other girls. That's always my favorite part of listening to girl groups, identifying who sung which part and discovering their personalities through their voices.

Beyonce? Beyonce? Beyonce? She sounded like a $10 Christina Aguilera impersonator in Vegas after a bottle of tequila.

Seriously that girl has a pitch problem, if you can't hear it then you probably do too. She needed to get that sorted before trying to go for volume, this is why we have vocal coaches.

I will say though she outshined Nicole in Elevator. That song was perfect for her, by far her best moment in PCD. And guess what, there was no screeching involved.

[crdubb17]

Critical reading is essential, my love. Unless you were purposely missing the point I was making?

Melody COULD HAVE sang as brilliantly as Beyonce and she STILL would have been pushed to the back because Nicole would have never shared her spotlight. Her being a background singer had nothing to do with her vocal abilities, or lack thereof. I never once implied that Melody was a vocal goddess. Lol!

[kmbgs]

Not a grammar lesson in the PCD thread! I'm still scarred from that semicolon appearing in the Hush Hush remix.

[Fat Ass Kelly Price]

Melody outshone Nicole on Elevator? The same song where Nicole belted a note nearly in the sixth octave? That’s news to me.

[crdubb17]

Elevator sounds so dated, I couldn't get into it. Melody 'shines' for me on Whatcha Think About That and Bite The Dust, though.

OT: I would fight someone for an official version of Her Name Is Nicole. Quality mastered versions of Steam, Psycho, Zoo, Supervillain, I MISS You, etc would be everything tbh. The singles that Interscope chose to push seemed like sabotage to keep her ass in PCD. Baby Love and WYL were cute, but they were so generic!

[Ty]

Y'all really able to comment on Melody's best vocal performance based on the studio version?

I usually don't bother with such a tiny sample in my research.

[kmbgs]

I am blessed to have Killer Love on my Apple Music but I think we need to get that up on streaming for all. A true opus.

[Relaxing Cup]

Melody and Beyonce sounds like a normal comparison to me 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Fat Ass Kelly Price]

Painted Windows was Melody’s song.

[PGriffin]

Elevator was the sh*t! I love it to this day! Also, their Halo is the only Halo I acknowledge.

[kmbgs]

I know Kelly was mad Beyoncé got the same beat as her for Halo, but damn I was pissed she stole the title to what should have been a smash career defining hit for PCD.

[PGriffin]

To this day I do not hear the overwhelming similarities between Halo and Almost Gone. I can tell they have the same producer but I never understood that entire fiasco.

I was OBSESSED with "Whatever you Like". It was similar to some of PCD's stuff so I assumed they released it for that reason.
I just went back and watched a live performance of her performing it and she was Fierce!!
Sang live, very low backing track, danced and had personality.
It was nice to hear an artist breath for once and not have to figure out if their singing or not.
She's the real deal.

I was also into her version of Beyonce's "Irreplaceable".
I liked "Baby Love" but I can see where many may find it generic. lol
I also liked "Right There" even though it reminded me of other songs of that era.
