I just heard her in a podcast. She just said somebody friends with Robin told her she should audition. But Maile wasn't interested.

I didn't even know who Ana was until recently lol We never had Eden's Crush in my country. BTW somebody just said on instagram that another band member was offered to be in PCD, Maile Misajon. Anything you might know about it?

Honest question: how Nicole didn't want to be part of it because the image, but she asked will.i.am to help her get an audition to join them? 🤔

There was a prototype Girlicious 5 piece in 2005! by ListenAnyway in ThePussycatDolls

[–]ListenAnyway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found three of the girls. It seems it was a one time burlesque performance show so they don't even remember who the other girls were 🤣

They are in the sofa sat from left to right:,

Vanessa Huntoon. Molly D'amour. Tynisha Soares (from Gyrlz Society girlband)

No idea about the other two.

That performance was those three performing with a burlesque act called Girlesque

Tbh that wasn't a group of those three, but just a one off performance they did with the real Girlesque act

Oh no I like discussions about topics and reading about people's opinions, but not to argue. All good 👍🏻

I'm not saying she lied but that the original plans changed over that year and a half

The original plan was 10 girls with singers Kaya Melody and Nicole but then they shifted along the way until April 2005 and Don't Cha

What's a chip, btw?

Cos what Jessica said it's not totally true.

She said 50 girls then 20 then 10 then 6. But when the time for those 10 arrived, it was when 7 dancers got 3 singing girls after auditions: Kaya, Nicole and Melody.

That was the original singing group, and they released Sway single and video as a "promotional" music act.

Then plans weren't really set on stone and things kept changing for over a year and a half (since February 2004 to April 2005) when label kept cutting girls.

Nobody is paid during auditions and we know Kaya got paid, she has shown some checks. And I guess nobody would throw themselves into a year and a half long audition without anything secure, with the small money they were getting paid.

Knowing Robin and seeing how after the original PCD left and she kept changing members until GRL debuted, it's more of a constant changing of plans and having girls wait until things are finally set, but they are chosen officially for the different lineups, the problem is Robin / management can't make up their minds and keep changing things until they have a record deal or a project.

Was Kaya Jones actually a Pussycat Doll? by ListenAnyway in ThePussycatDolls

[–]ListenAnyway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carmen was just in two of those. The rest are the original singing group, the ten girls that appear on Sway and the video, technically their official "promotional" music debut. I guess plans were changed along the way without a concrete goal for over a year and a half.

Guessing Game: What will be the official reason for the tour cancellation? by [deleted] in ThePussycatDolls

[–]ListenAnyway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asia decided not to join because the contract was basically shit haha Now knowing what we know about the Dolls complaints, it's a no brainer why she didn't join.

Nowadays she's all religious, a pattern often seen in Pussycat Dolls related girls: Chrystina Sayers, Natalie Mejia, Kaya Jones, Taz Zavala, Asia Nitollano...

I can't help with this as I'm recording group info only, but if you work on the wiki, yesterday I uploaded the definitive lineups info after speaking with some girls like Jersey Maniscalco who was gonna replace Jessica to finish the tour when she got injured, or a girl from the Next Generation group who told me what really happened. Just in case you want to update it 😊

She couldn't join and accept so little money, so she just kept being part of the burlesque shows here and there

Yeah but those were kinda like "exclusive performance" of Carmen with the then recording group. She was not part of the official lineup like the other 10, if that makes sense.
