If I was in charge of this era, I would've kept the 'To Those Who Wait' title, released the album in August when "When I Grow Up" still had momentum, had "Painted Windows" on the album itself and released it as a 2nd single, "I Hate This Part" released as 3rd single and "Magic" as fourth. No f***ery like saying "Whatcha Think About That" was only a promo single, no changing the name to featuring Nicole Scherzinger, no random re-release with only 2 new songs and a '90s sounding trash club mix that samples I Will Survive and NOT having the same concept videos over and over again.

yeah steam is a really good song. it was originally rumored that it would be nicole's first solo single but she released whatever u like instead. i think steam would've done a lot better for her though. it stays with the pcd vibe instead of being completely different like WUL was.

Sad this era is a flop and a mess. I really like the album, WIGU, IHTP, and Jai Ho are awesome! Elevator is my shit! Painted Windows is hot! Personally I never got Bottle Pop, just wasn't my thing though. Maybe Nicole will have more sucess with her next solo album(hahahhaahah)

1. Make a cheap video that uses the remix version of the song. 2. Credit it to Ron Fair & The Pussycat Dolls feat. Nicole Scherzinger 3. Only have Nicole in the video. 4. Have PCD in front of neon show lights of their name/song again. 5. Awkward dance moves and sexy lingerie wear for a ballad video 6. The fact that this song is even the single in the first place. 7. Kimberly's only appearance in the video is holding up her leg... 8. Give the song little to no promotion and hope that it magically picks up. 9. Let this song begin to do well and as soon as it gains momentum stop promoting it and re-release "Sway." 10. Take it off iTunes the instant people become interested, in hopes of selling the album. 11. Lose another member (this time Melody) so we have absolutely no chance of hearing any vocals other than Nicole (we miss Carmit) 12. Have another reality search for the next Doll, and have Robin Antin, Ron Fair, and Lil Kim pick an average winner who ends up not joining PCD... 13. Make Nicole "29" for a few more years again.
14. Have props on the video set where one of the members has a mishap (like Melody did at the AMAs) and that ends up making the final cut for the video. 15. Given the outcome (thanks unsurprisingly to the label's sheer stupidity) have them promote this as an "unofficial" single in markets where it flops in order to save face. 16. Perform this song while making a guest TV appearance (talk show, music/dance competition show) a week or two after it's pulled off iTunes and/or no longer getting airplay. 17. Have Nicole's name labelled after the group on all PCD paraphernalia and/or wherever "Pussycat Dolls" appears. 18. They opened up for Christina and most recently for Britney - who knows the next female pop artist they'll open up for in the future? Jessica Simpson? That is, if she indeed intends on making her pop comeback.
Yeah, this has just been "a comedy of errors". Speaking of which, even Shakespeare could write a play based on all this nonsense.

yeah everything does kind of suck. i'm still hopeful though. painted windows is a really strong song and i think it could put them back on the map if the release was executed properly (not gonna hold my breath).
bottle pop could still be a hit too. it's #4 on US hot dance club play this week (Up 3), which is quite a feat since it hasn't even been released. at this rate it will most likely hit #1 like don't cha, buttons, when i grow up, and i hate this part. it's performance on this chart could foreshadow it's performance on main charts if it were to be released.
then they can wrap it up and take a break, and give nicole another solo era. then hopefully they can come back a new and improved group (maybe they should consider switching labels haha), with or without nicole, where they all sing and have better material. you never know...

That is, if she indeed intends on making her pop comeback. I love Jessica, but at this point in her career, I think she'd be more likely to open for PCD than vice versa. Speaking of Jessica, does anyone else think Nicole sometimes sounds like her? I really noticed it in 'I Hate This Part', from 2:40-3:00. A few of her phrasings and notes ("Eeeeeeeeeeeeyes" at 2:42 and the background vocals at 2:47, in particular) sound exactly like Jess. Could just be me, though.

19. Release the single without making a video, or wait too long to release a video for it.

Hush Hush? Seriously? *abandons the PCD train* Why did it take you so long? 'Whatcha Think About That' and 'Jai Ho' crashed the PCD train hard... Amen. This era was a mess after WIGU.

Jai Ho was a stupid mistake, they had just gotten themselves back on track with 'I Hate This Part.' Now they're hoping to repeat that success with 'Hush, Hush.' KIIS FM has spinned it, so that's a positive start... but if it doesn't work out well...They could try "Magic" or "Elevator." Then they should just save 'Painted Windows' to be the first single off of a NEW album...a re-release is just a waste of time...

Painted Windows would be awful as lead single from new album because it sounds exactly like everything else from DD

LMAO at these posts about PCD who we love to hate. LOL Singles should have gone like this:
1. When I Grow Up 2. I Hate This Part 3. Painted Windows 4. Bottle Pop
I honestly remember hearing this album online and burned it to a cd and then hated DD at first listen so I threw it out the window lol. I don't even remember Elevator or Magic or anything much else than the dreaded Whatcha Think About That and that Jai Ho junk.

Painted Windows would be awful as lead single from new album because it sounds exactly like everything else from DD I love their version of 'Jai Ho.' But I still wouldn't have put it out as a single during an era where they had 14 other songs to put out that were actually on the album...Plus, it was obvious the U.S. wasn't going to go for it. I would have stuck with "Bottle Pop." And while "Elevator" is obviously disposable, it's so generic and catchy radio would have eaten it up...and I think they may have done the same for "Painted Windows." And as for Robin Antin confirming a third album and saying that Melody and Jess will sing on it more...deja vu! Where did we hear that before? Oh right! Before THIS album came out, with 16 tracks of all Nicole...

^ Oh my God. Jessica couldn't POSSIBLY be a better singer than Ashley, could she? Maybe that's why she's done more vocally than Ashley...Just maybe.

Well, you can stop being so offended by everything I say. And I've already explained to you why Jessica is a slightly better singer than Ashley...Being able to sing more notes and having a better tone quality makes you a better singer than someone with less range and a thinner voice. I haven't spent five years training to become a voice teacher to not know anything about these things! Robin might know something that you don't too, if she talks about Jessica getting a couple of lines on the next album - as opposed to Ashley, then maybe Jessica IS a bit better! They're not making these decisions randomly...

Stop acting like children. One says they're equal. The other says one is slightly better. Is there really much of a difference? Not enough to argue about.

And there will be one less member for this next album too...until Nicole's solo album works, each new PCD album will have one less PCD member...until Nicole is the only one left!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
