The Pussycat Dolls Discography Rate

Nicole literally not giving them any vocals. Wowsers. I actually don't like Nicole's version of it.
 
First of all, let’s get Filler skulldragging me out of the way, ‘Respect for actually including 'Santa Baby' in a rate when it seems to be standard practice for all rate hosts to arbitrarily exclude the shit pointless cover of 'Santa Baby' seemingly every artist ever has done. Fuck these so-called "complete" discography rates. Everyone has done a shit pointless cover of 'Santa Baby' and we should just find it in ourselves to accept that. This is the only rate I respect, because it has the shit pointless cover of 'Santa Baby' in it. No brushing the shit pointless cover of 'Santa Baby' under the carpet. We're rating the shit pointless cover of 'Santa Baby' and to hell with anyone who thinks we shouldn't.’ Nn, destroy me a bit. I explained my reasons though and you will deal xxx.

I was being sincere! This isn't a skulldragging, not of you anyway. It genuinely does annoy me when a "complete" discography rate is like two or three Christmas covers short of being complete. Just stuff it all in there and get on with it, that's my motto.

Song's still shit and pointless, obviously. But the opportunity to express its shitness and pointlessness is welcome.

The vocals in this song are … a bit much. I actually like Timbaland's production (love the horns) and the ‘in person’ repetition is catchy. But the vocals border Jessie J-level, which is where I have to draw the line.


tylerc904 has some interesting memories associated with the song, ‘Ugh I hate this. My sister and I used to quote the "Imma get him, Imma get him!" when referring to a fly in the house.’ I’d move out immediately. On the other hand, send photo probably is his sister, ‘Dddd bye at this being my most played PCD track (don't check my last.fm binch I know it's not there).’ We all have our flaws, hon. Except evilsin with ha great taste, ‘I appreciate the change of pace and attitude, but kinda... just... no.’ I agree, I love the song’s energy. And I’m not the only one. Sprockrooster thinks the ‘girls are serving a total BOP!Remorque loves a screamy bop, ‘Nicole sounds batshit crazy, but I kinda like it? I’m actually glad to (kinda) hear Melody again after that slurge of only-Nicole tracks…Filler is Filler, ‘Iconic domestic abuse anthem. Problematic faves.’ Who else? I love our mums. Epic Chocolat digs ‘the energy in Nicole's vocals reminiscent of James Brown’ and lemonsqueezyy finds it to be ‘full of rhythm and sass like the back half of PCD’. It is quite PCD-esque, innit?


That was a lot of positivity to take in so let’s get back to the vocals. GhettoPrincess is not here for it, as she whispers ‘Shhh Nicole.’ Slice of Life is also in the same aisle, buying ear plugs, ‘Oh my God shut up Nicole.Reboot already has the ear plugs, ‘I low-key hate this. Nicole’s vocals are … no. Please stop.’ PCDPG joins the stop Jessie J vocals in musique club, ‘the vocals are a bit much.’ Weslicious closes things off with some valuable life advice, ‘just because you can sing a range of styles doesn't necessarily mean you always should.’




Here's me and @evilsin performing it:



The instrumental showcases the energetic production well:

Nicole is terrible on In Person. So thankful it didn't get much further.
 
A bop!

You can tell the studio mix was probably recorded before Nicole was finalized in the group; seeing as this came later



which is literally annoying. Nicole being pushed was... well it led us to where we are now so who's really tripping. (Melody missing the turn @ 1:15 tho kii)


Nn Melody also forgot to grab the feather boa.
 
Sorry there haven't been any eliminations today, I've been travelling the whole day and I can barely keep my eyes open, so this one is the only one for today. (nn also when I'm tired my brain shuts down any ability to speak in English so it's really for the better)

(I don’t know what this mess is but it’s the only cover on the whole wide Internet so it’ll have to do)

Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps is another cover of a song, which is an English cover of the Cuban classic Quizás, Quizás, Quizás. This cover is cute and very early Pussycat Dolls-esque, but as with most covers, the original is kind of superior.


Let’s start with our only 10, Sprockrooster, ‘I love their jazzy reworks and this is definitely a treasure in their discography. Great fit with their burlesque theme and Nicole pulls it off like a true noir jazz singer.Filler disagrees and adds to the Michael Buble disdain that has been bubbling up amongst the commentators, ‘Nobody was really here for this sort of thing from the Pussycat Dolls in the first place, why were they still bothering with it at this point? Were they keeping their options open for a Michael Bublé duet album or something?Probably. Weslicious seconds the sentiment, ‘This seems almost like a lazy 'throwback' to the Sway/Right Now covers on PCD. Like, been there done that.’. Next, an ensemble of dislike for the song. Reboot shortly discards it with a ‘no thanks’, PCDPG calls it a ‘boring song and an album filler’ and Slice of Life finishes it off with ‘Yeah, perhaps stop this dreck right about now.’ Stop, it’s already dead, dear. ‘Geraldine did it better. Kii.’ cackles Remorque, while evilsin is staying away from the word Perhaps from now on, ‘What is this even? Now the word 'perhaps' is weird in my mind, thanks, Nicole.’
