Takin’ Over The World

Average: 6.741


Highest: 1 x 9.5 (@HollyDunnSomething)

Lowest: 4 x 5 (@Terminus, @2014, @send photo, @Serg.)​



The range of the scores for this wasn’t big, most of them were between 5 and 8. I kinda love it, but I do think that the instrumental should have been a bit faster/more energetic, as the song doesn’t fully take off. I do like that Melody has a bigger role in it than usual.


PCDPG agrees, ‘Good song and I like Melody’s solo.’ Weslicious finds it underwhelming live, ‘I like this on the album. As the tour opener it was somewhat lacking (wasn't there a version with a different chorus about entertaining the world? That may have worked better with a slightly more aggressive instrumental).’ Nn, I just looked and yes! It was used in a promotional spot for a German TV channel. It seems a bit different and beefed up.

​


Königinnen!

The song does not get Sprockrooster in the mood for world domination, ‘I think this song needs to be better if you want to take over the world.’ Remorque seconds him, ‘This desperately tries to be an anthem, but fails on all costs. Nicole doesn’t really sound all that inspired and the production ain’t all that. And that fade out sounds like everybody involved gives up. Rightfully so.’ Meanwhile, it was a nice (re)discovery for Filler, ‘Well, this is a pleasant surprise, because I used to hate this and now I definitely don't? The song and whatever that sample is sound ugly and dissonant together, like some shoddy fan-made mash-up that doesn't work, but in 2017 I guess I think that's a good thing? Times are changing. Some of my best friends are ugly experimental mash-ups. And honestly I'm just relieved by any track on this album that isn't a ballad.’ What a work of art. Slice of Life is bopping, ‘Wait this is kinda cute too. Sounds very World Music which is cute’ and evilsin invents a new genre, ‘I like the lazy horns in this one’, which, frankly, I’m kind of here for.​

Happily Never After

Average: 6.672

She’s a cute girl. Originally intended for the Backstreet Boys and probably for Nicole’s album, this found its home on Doll Domination.


Let’s start with Sprockrooster, who gave it a 10, ‘I remember this being played during an epic Gossip Girl episode. Back then the song was part of 'Her Name Is Nicole' album (that got scrapped) and this one definitely deserved to be part of an album. Such a pure and direct emotional delivery. I am feeling the pain and combined with that gossip girl scene a true lifetime anthem.’ Filler wonders, ‘What kind of sick twisted motherfucker is going to the Pussycat Dolls for ballads’ HmmmT. This one is pretty standard but they do have some really wonderful ones. Reboot brings up an interesting point, ‘Didn’t the Backstreet Boys have something to do with this or is that just my mind trying to find connections to boy bands at every opportunity?’ As far as I can tell, they recorded it for Unbreakable but it never made the album. Their version did leak in 2007, though. GhettoPrincess prefers their version, ‘This is the first song which sounds like it was so obviously from the scrapped solo Nicole album. Also it’s a cover version of a Backstreet Boys song which sounds much better. Nicole’s version is too dull.’ PCDPG seconds the notion, ‘More suited on Nicole’s solo album and it screams album filler.’ Slice of Life unnie is happy is with it, ‘Not Stickwitu level of amazing but this will do.’ A high benchmark indeed. However it is enough for Epic Chocolat, ‘Beautiful, sad and hopeful.’ The sis evilsin finds it mediocre, ‘Very middle of the road. Totally see this being Ne-Yo's production’, as does the good sis Weslicious, ‘Most of my score is for the catchy 'I'm done, done done' part. Otherwise it's a pretty pedestrian ballad.’ Lemonsqueezyy has even stronger dislike for it, ‘In all honesty, I should’ve rated this higher because it can be enjoyable in very very very certain situations but it is just so asinine. I will say I have always liked Ne-Yo’s background vocals in the middle 8 (more than Ashley and Kimberly got on the entire album, but hey).’ Nn, the shade. I love y’all. We finish out with Remorque’s accurate comment, ‘Kinda ironic, n’est-ce pas?’ Oui, mon cheri.​

Who’s Gonna Love You

I love this song, should have given it a 10, teebs. It is very Timbaland but it works here, especially the chorus. So euphoric and apocalyptic.


Reboot knows what’s up, ‘Everything about this is so lush. The chorus is fantastic.’ Slice of Life serves poor taste, ‘It's a fun basic background music.’ Just like when we make love on the phone xxxx. Sprockrooster tries summoning Filler, ‘Filler. And no good filler’ and here he is, Filler, ‘Evidently not me.’ Evilsin oversteps ha boundaries yet again, ‘Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody's gonna give this a 10.’

Do I need to post that video again, dear?


PCDPG shades Doll Domination, ‘A good song but it drags the album down with too much midtempo/ballads’ and send photo feels the song, ‘tru tho :(‘. You know me and @momstalgia are, presh. Remorque rightfully shades Timbaland BUT THE SONG IS STILL GOOD OKAY, ‘“Y’all ain’t ready, it’s Nicole!”… A big fat “Awww.” for everyone involved. And what even are those vocals in the beginning? This is where Timbaland starting getting shit, correct? I gave it a point more because the chorus ain’t half bad though.’ We finish off with Weslicious, ‘'Yall ain't ready, it's Nicole'... It's track 7 on the album. At this stage, who else was it going to be? Still a jam.’

Who's Gonna Love You and Space are complete 10's but I figured they wouldn't make it too much farther.

Top of the World and the Hush Hush's better not make it to the top 20!

If this is any kind of prelude to what you did to I Hate This Part and to a lesser extent Stickwitu, you better watch out!

The only reason I left that general ballad comment on Happily Never After is because it was the only one of their ballads that I didn't specifically hate anything about. In that respect, it might be my nicest commentary for any Pussycat Dolls ballad.

I'm not here for any negativity about I Hate This Part this early on in the rate especially.

Well Happily Never After is their best ballad so as far I am concerned all the others can leave too. Ready for a bop filled top 20.

I'm shook. I didn't expect this from you. I have faith in your overall taste was sure you loved their bigger ballads.

WHAT A FUCKING SONG. ANGRY BOP FOR THE AGES. A TIMELESS POP ROCK CLASSIC THAT MADE METALLICA RETIRE. GUNS N ROSES WHO? LED ZEPPELIN IS QUAKING. PINK FLOYD FOUND DEAD. WHO NEEDS THEM ALL WHEN YOU HAVE FUCKING FLIRT. Whew, sometimes you just need to get things off your chest. x


Let’s start with Sprockrooster, who serves flawless taste, ‘This is my runner-up for the 11. And it probably makes total sense. This is poprock perfection. Add some sassy lyrics and brassy vocals and you have yourself a classic in my book. I was so sad this was not on my album, I bought the revised edition too. I bought a whole album again for this one track. Not my 11, cause I love my 11 also a lot and it might need an extra push, but this is my true 11 in my heart.’ If there’s an album track on PCD worth repurchasing the album for, it’s Flirt. Surprisingly, Filler loves it, ‘WHAT A RACKET I LOVE IT.’ Indeed. I’ve been listening to it on repeat for the last hour and it’s sort of the best song of all time. Pecans likes the change of pace, ‘Flirt feels so out of place on this album, but I'm kind of living for it. This sound is pretty refreshing from The Pussycat Dolls, and some variation from artists/groups is always nice.’ Slice of Life calls it a ‘cute angry bawp’. Oh, unnie, it’s not cute. She’s a gorgeous girl. Surprisingly, evilsin’s taste syncs up with mine, ‘Well isn't this a surprise? I quite like the change after all those covers. If I were skirts, I would lift mine.’ Serving redemption arc etc. Lemonsqueezyy gives it the highest compliment possible, ‘Screaming ‘Lindsay Lohan debut-album B-side’ all the way to bop status.’

It’s too much for Reboot, ‘I’ve never been fond of this one. I’m usually here for angry girl group songs, but it’s just a bit too noisy compared to the rest of the album’ and Epic Chocolat, ‘Underneath the noise there's a fine pop melody I'm sure.’ PCDPG ‘quite likes Carmit’s solo on this song.’ Weslicious is also here for changing poprockssycat dolls, ‘'Rockish' in comparison to anything else they've done. Different enough to be memorable.’ ROLLING STONES WHO. Remorque celebrates quality and taste, ‘This is a fucking fantastic song. Nicole, Carmit and Melody never seem to take a fucking breath to put this guy in its place.’ I love my mums.
