Nicole has a great voice, but I think she sounds terrible live. Melody is just always terrible, it baffles me how people think she is more talented than Nicole.

Nicole is a great singer but she gets out of breath very easily during performances.
Why the hell are they performing on Ellen next week with Missy? ??? Someone needs to tell the label to pick one plan and stick with it.

The Melody thing baffles me, too...as someone who took voice lessons for 4 years and who sang competitively, there is NOTHING appealing about Melody's voice. I have seen these girls live and Nicole was GREAT live...she scatted, she had really deep notes and really high notes and everything in between.

Someone needs to tell the label to pick one plan and stick with it. Anyone would be out of breath singing and dancing...Most singers can't even do both at the same time, because physically you're not even supposed to... Also, there ican be no 'opinion' that Melody is better than Nicole because she is not. She does not have as strong a voice or range, and performs worse lively (we've seen very little of either of these anyway) and if anyone in that group had a better voice than Nicole, then they would have a prominent vocal part...Why wouldn't they?

Nicole is very over the top. She tried to be a powerhouse but fails. Melody finally sounded strong in her live vocals. All she said was "oh." And it was flat and forceful...which does not mean it was strong. She is not a good singer and if she sang all of Nicole's parts it would be a miserable performance, remember the AmA "Buttons" performance?

Melody is so so so overrated...
I can't say Nicole is a great singer but she is definitely a FANTASTIC performer... She sounds good live too, at least she can still reach all her notes after all those crazy dance...
As for Melody, she sounds just creepy live to me... Her voice always sounds shaky as hell, and she couldn't even reach some easy notes during a lot of live performances... She has a great voice for sure, but that doesn't equals to "really know HOW TO SING"...

I agree with everyone too, I don't really see what's so special about Melody. She's okay, I did like her solo song on Doll Domination, but she definitely does not sing as well as Nicole. I think Nicole is a very talented singer. PCD is nothing w/o her!

Now for some positivity. Melody has a great voice, Space is great and she will do nothing but get better. Nicole has an awesome voice too, I don't understand why people have to say someone can't sing just because they don't like the performer's voices. I've seen PCD live myself and both Nicole and Melody sounded great. I love Melody's runs live, she really killed her part on WTAT on DWTS.

Melody tries too hard live. It's like her mind set is "Finally, I can shine, so let me outdo this bitch," but she overdoes it.

That whole performance was awful. Just terrible. There is no way any record exec in his right mind would give her a solo deal if he saw THAT.

Wow, I just watched that performance...and it was...GREAT. I'm wearing headphones and for the record, Melody nailed all the runs but the very last one. Nicole was freakin sexy and sounded great, I'm not sure what you people are hearing, but listen with headphones to get more of the effect that the people got that were there live.

Please, Melody's runs here are disastrous... Do you know that singing ON KEY matters...and that on a record eveyrthing is tone corrected, regardkess of how well the singer actually records. You can't judge vocal talent from a song like "Space." This is the most vocals she has done in a PCD performance, and based of this and a few other flat strained and off-key runs we think that her vocals rival Nicole's? And that also, for some reason, she does not have a prominent vocal part in a 'group' because Interscope wouldn't pick the best person for the majority of vocals. Give me a break. www.youtube.com/watch?v=stfkWG1Zdg4Nicole does poorly as well, and Jessica falls off the stage twice. This is one of the worst Televised performances by any 'performing' group in the world. Its hytserical! Enjoy!

OK I think here are some good videos that show both of their vocal abilities.
Nicole - Star Spangled banner (without the protools and without singing over a backing track like she does in PCD)
Melody - Fever
Nicole is very average. She nor Melody are that great but I think Melody has more character in her voice, she just needs control. I think people judge Melody based off her "Oooos" in her performances but I think her performance of "feelin good" is a better indicator of her abilities and also when she performs in PCD she always has to pull off those difficult runs after she has been dancing hard for 5 mins.
As a little extra, here is Carmit singing the National anthem.
I think they are all on par with each other. None of them are that great vocally.

That AMA performance is hilarious. I always wondered why Melody came out last. I like how she tries to drown out Nicole. :)

Hmm, I had a feeling she was injured or sick. Even 2 years later after seeing it live, it's still a personal funny fave to me. Even with all the mistakes and slip ups, Melody is my fave Doll.

I knew as soon as I saw the chairs that something would go wrong. I also remember thinking Melody didnt dance because they were ashamed of her dancing and told her to sit her ass down. But forreal, Melody can sing and deserves to sing more. She just needs more control. It's usually with her runs, so that's why her lil pits in performances are always over the place.

Ok I know that Americans don't care at all about the Formule One championship , but Nicole was here in Brazil for the last race and it was one of the most exciting races EVER ! Her boyfriend (British driver lewis Hamilton) had to finish 5th to win the championship but on the last lap he was just in 6th place and he was losing the championship for just one point...but German driver Timo Glock slowed down and let Hamilton overtake him, just in the last curve when everyone though the championship was over for Lewis...in this video u can see Nicole very worried in the beginning and at the end she celebrates like crazy lol...cameras were all over Nicole during the race , it's a good moment to watch ! And damn she was beautiful !!!

I like Melody's runs, but it's true, she has an immature sounding voice in actuality, and tries too hard to sound like Christina Aguilera. Honestly, I thought her voice sounded better than it does when I first heard her singing in "Sway". Nicole is a great singer... on CD.

I've always said that Melody's runs are messy and she tries way too hard on stage to prove how good of a singer is and how well she can outsing Nicole. I've yet to be impressed.
