From reading all the comments, I wasn't expecting a very good album. I ended up loving it...definitely doesn't beat PCD, but I think it's really strong. Bottle Pop HAS to be a single...PLEASE! Halo is also really, really good (even though it rips off Devil Wouldn't Recognize You pretty much).

I don't know where people are hearing talent in ANY one else in this group besides Nicole and I don't even like her that much. Saying someone's voice is Paris Hiltonesque is NOT a compliment because she can't sing at all! Sexy cooing does not equal vocal talent! I mean, I can listen to someone who doesn't have the strongest voice but I won't sit and pretend they are actually talented - I listen for the production in those cases. From what I have heard, this album has really expensive production so I will take it. Everybody was raving about Melody's voice, now that she has sang on record nobody has said anything to say. But in her defense, she is better than Nicole live, just not on Space.

Hmm...I saw them open for Xtina (as well as Danity Kane, which, now that I recall, is pretty interesting) and I don't remember anyone else singing but Nicole, besides random background parts. Nicole even had this big solo moment where she sang Nina Simone's Feelin' Good with no one else but her. The others just faded into the background, but I am sure they are accustomed to that by now. With all the CDs they sell, do you think they really care about getting a chance to be heard? Whether or not anyone can name other members of the PCD or tell you what they look like, other than Nicole, hardly anyone can name a Nicole solo song. Everyone knows their hit songs as The Pussycat Dolls songs so I doubt those other girls care much. They might as well not sing and just dance and look hot.

Melody cares. not everybody is comfortable being in the background, look at The Supremes. I'm sure all the girls want success individually.

Ye honestly if any person was given the chance to be in a super-sexy, mega pop-star girl/boy group, and the only condition was that they only could dance and not sing, I think it's safe to say most people would definetly go for it it. I'm sure they love all the performances, glitz and glamour, clothes, videos, tv promos, and the celeb high life

Just because someone doesn't have the strongest voice, that doesn't equate to no talent. Just less talent. Just because someone isn't the strongest basketball player doesn't mean that they don't have any talent in the sport.

Basically all the slow songs have the same message about breaking up, kinda depressing lol

this album is sooo forgettable. I'm disappointed. 'Bottle Pop' is really hot, I have to say. 'Happily Never After' is decent as far as cliché pop ballads go, 'In Person' is pretty cool (even if it tries, and fails miserably, to be this album's 'Right Now'). But still, there's nothing MEMORABLE. I think what I'm most disappointed about is how even Lady GaGa's song is boring.
As far as the other girls go... I like that it shows what THEY want to do, their personality if you may. 'If I Was A Man' is possibly the best thing on the record. I really like that one. It manages to do what no other song on the album do (except maybe the first two) - stand out. 'Space' is actually pretty good, she kind of sounds like Mya. Again, better than a lot of the ballads on the album. 'Don't Wanna Fall In Love', I don't understand. It's catchy yes but.. if you want to go disco-inspired, go ahead, but she went a little overboard. 'Until U Love Me' is completely predictable. I'm disappointed Ashley did a ballad - it's almost cute but ultimately also forgettable.
I guess 'When I Grow Up', 'Bottle Pop' and 'If I Was A Man' is all that will remain from this album to me.
(this is all in my opinion of course)

Yuck, I hate "If I Was A Man". I may be bias since Jessica is my least fav doll and the palest. Actually, dont really care for any of the solo tracks sadly, I wish they just had them all featured more on the album.

That's a good question, but for now I think they're content with how things are going for them. They probably figure if Nicole can't even break it going solo, neither can they.

Pretty solid CD.
Although I don't know why they're so scared to showcase the other dolls a little more.

The only track I really like is 'Bottle Pop'.
The rest is way too mid-tempo or ballady for my taste. Good effort though, just not what I want from them.
