Singer Melody Thornton didn't help those pesky band break-up rumors during a concert in Phoenix this weekend after pointedly calling attention to frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger's "featured" status on the group's latest singles. The Pussycat Dolls version of "Jai Ho" and "Hush Hush" have been released under the name "Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger" instead of the usual "Pussycat Dolls." "Thank you so much for supporting me - even if I'm not featured, you know what I'm saying?" Thornton shouted in front of a packed audience. The singer even sounded a little choked up as she added, "You can do anything you want to do. Don't give up on your dreams and don't let anyone stop you - ever!" Scherzinger reportedly shot Thornton a nasty look after the remarks. The group's label has kept mum on why Scherzinger has received special attention, leading some to think she may be leaving the Dolls to pursue a solo career.

They are so breaking up after the Britney tour. The announcement will be made probably next Friday. Britney's last US date is on May 3rd. Can't wait to see Melody shut Nicole down.

This whole Nicole Scherzinger featuring credit reminds me of when "The Supremes" became "Diana Ross and The Supremes." Yeah but Florence Ballad and Mary Wilson actually sang...They should change the group's name to Nicole Scherzinger and the Multi-layered vocal tracks of Nicole Scherzinger... Although, after the Supremes were called Diana Ross and the Supremes...Diana Ross would sometimes be the only member on the records, with the Motown session singers - the Andantes - would play the roles of the Supremes...but only during the two later years of the group...

They need to start a reality show covering the fallout of this group. It would get huge ratings

Something might come up early in May, but they still have to finish off their own tour that will take them through Australia in May, and four shows in Asia in early June, all culminating to perhaps what might be their final concert in Hawaii on June 13.

The second one might as well be the actual cover... But the first one, damm...They all look like drag queens...It's too funny! Anyway, Z100 seems to be playing 'Hush, Hush'.

I'm so ready for Nicole to drop the other chicks to go solo. It's inevitably going to happen someday. As long as they don't give her crap to record again like the mess known as "Whatever You Like". No one would ever play that whether it was by Nicole, PCD, PCD feat Nicole, nada. Nothing. She could have done any of these songs on Doll Domination by herself and no one would have known the difference.
What I find to be hilarious is how clueless the other girls are when it comes to their place in the group; mainly Melody. b***h, sit down. If nobody wanted to hear Nicole on the radio, your whiny ass doesn't have a shot in hell. Damn girl. Know your place. No one cares about you or the other girls. Just your family and friends. And a few random people on the internet who keep b***hing to hear the other girls for some reason beyond me. This group is gimmick and everyone seems to realize that except for the girls in it; again, mainly Melody. Wake up, chica, and get with the game plan!

I think that the problem is, is that Interscope was trying to pass them off as a vocal group - even garnering a vocal group grammy...And then they promised that other members would have vocal parts. It does get annoying to listen to 16 tracks of the same person...but especially when it's supposed to be a group. I mean, they don't HAVE to make Nicole do ALL of the background parts as well...even having two of the other members harmonize with her would make the difference...Just like they do in 'Painted Windows.' They should do stuff like that, Nicole front and center. That makes total sense...but not 100%...I mean come on. It's too annoying.

agreed- after one album- a lil too soon for Nicole S to go solo. I agree that if Whatever U Like was released as PCD it would be done better on radio/charts. Hush Hush is not a bad follow-up single choice to Jai Ho, its just that it is awful with the I WILL SURVIVE random part at the end. Who has a mix without that part in there? I also like many others really love Painted Windows, but it echo's Rihanna's Disturbia alot. Maybe that is why they chose Hush Hush. Also, the song sounds good from ballad to dance mix. I don't remember the album version of HH at all...

I don't remember the album version of HH at all... Funny, it was the song that stuck out to me the most. But this is because I'm a sucker for anything ballad-related that Ron Fair puts out. You just know this was a leftover from those Wild Orchid/Fergie sessions! lol

I don't remember the album version of HH at all... it does sound kind of similar to disturbia, but i think its still significantly different. like the first time i heard it i didn't think oh! disturbia! whatever the case, i would think that would give them all the more reason to release it, because disturbia was a smash. i also think this song has more longevity for me. i was tired of disturbia after not too many listens.

Scrapped for the U.S. though... unless 'Hush, Hush' the remix smashes... and if that song does, I bet the majority of the plays it gets will be the original safe ballad version. Maybe it'll help Doll Domination...but they should've gone with 'PW' if they wanted to give us a re-release worth buying.

The video version of Bottle Pop is off the hook. They have the songs to smash radio but Interscope is too stupid to realize that. Singles should go as following:
When I Grow Up I Hate This Part Bottle Pop (without Snoop Dogg) Magic Painted Windows Elevator
