Whew, this song. The already eliminated album version was beefed up with the addition of I Will Survive and production. The single version was released as The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger, which caused a lot of mess. Apparently all of the vocals (both lead and back) are done by Nicole, which is an even bigger mess.
Filler has more questions than answers, ‘All 6 points for comic value. Has there ever been a more inexplicable single release by a major pop act? Why bother trying to remix a ballad nobody liked in the first place? Why is the remix the cheapest 90s attempt at "disco" production ever? Why is 'I Will Survive' in there? Why extend the title into four Hushes? WHY THE SEMICOLON?’ I finally know what the ; is called in English. It’s the superior version for tylerc904, ‘A vast improvement’, but not for Sprockrooster, ‘Way too overproduced! I prefer the original version heavily above this tragic remix. Shame on them mis-using such a Gloria Gaynor classic.’ GhettoPrincess finds it amusing, ‘This cracks me up, the way the girls just do the hush bits whilst putting their fingers to their mouth whilst Nicole harmonises with herself and gets that featuring credit. It’s fine but slightly cheesy for them.’ HollyDunnSomething was happy to rate both, ‘This deserves to be treated as a separate song, it's so much better than the original version.’ Remorque shows love to the good sis Gloria, ‘This version is ultimately superior to the original, because that one is just way too unremarkable… The feat.-tag though… *rolls eyes* Justice for I Will Survive, still decimating every other song in existence… Get dem coins, whoever wrote it!’ Whenever I think of I Will Survive, all that comes to mind is that video of Jesus walking the streets and singing it.
Weslicious likes the integration, ‘Compared to the original this is a camptastic life-affirming bop that makes the original redundant. Inspired cover use!’, while PCDPG does not, ‘I really don’t like this remix and the inclusion of I Will Surive. Not single material at all.’ Lemonsqueezyy gave it a 0, ‘NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!’ Me when you all eliminated Flirt way too early. For Pecans, it has a lot of Nicole, ‘How camp can one song be?! It's pretty strong, but I always thought this was a Nicole solo track.’ Nn, it is. Speaking of Nicole, Slice of Life is stanning, ‘Nicole really hit a homerun with this. Vocal runs for days.’ For evilsin, it’s ‘Marginally better than the original.’ Send photo is a fan of the remix, ‘Holy fuck does this ever elevate a mediocre song to glory.’
This was haps’ 11, ‘WOW. I mean. My pussycat is on fire. This is lit! The way they lure the gayest song in the world in this. Art.’
Nn, she really performed it alone here.

I didn't know you made it! I've added the credit. An iconic masterpiece
With that songtitle and artwork the joke pretty much wrote itself!

Yeah Hush Hush deserved to go. Bye girl.
he/him
You guys had better start doing better than this! Not pleased.
Get rid of When I Grow Up next y'all!
The 'featuring' tag is one thing, but the Hush Hush video... I mean, Ashley and Kim where far from prominent but what did Jess and Melody do to be nearly none existent?

Wait A Minute

I think this is probably my least favourite PCD era single. It’s still great and catchy but it never captured me like the others. The music video though. FUCK FUCK FUCK. Serving lqqks, story and choreo. The bridge part of both the song and the video is fantastic. Definitely in my top 3 of their videos.
Sprockrooster also mentions the video, ‘I was not a fan of this song and when it got the single status I was a bit sad. But then the video came and I was in love with it instantly.’ Filler has a confession, ‘I'm not sure there is any mid-2000s male-female call-and-response vaguely urban pop so basic that I don't love it. I even spent a few years stanning for Chingy.’ Should I look that up? Reboot loves the song’s sass, ‘Not as amazing as the other singles, but still very good indeed. The spoken bit at the end of the song is probably my favourite thing on the album. “Wait a minute. Uh, yeah, you can give me that back.” Iconic.’ GhettoPrincess is not a fan of Tim on here, ‘I find Timbaland really annoying on this and the clapping production is so repetitive that I kinda lose interest in the song quickly.’ and PCDPG agrees, ‘A good song but the Timbaland feature is a bit too much.’ Remorque defends the good sis, ‘Timbaland’s production is the highlight here for me… Justice for Timbaland trying to scream Nicole into oblivion.’ and evilsin backs ha up, ‘Lemme talk to you for a minute, shut up, shut up. Love this to beats. I love me some Timbaland in general and here he did real good.’ Weslicious echoes the outcome of the rate, ‘The 'worst' single from PCD but still a bop.’
And then we have Slice of Life. Cyst. Sis. SIS.
Dddddddddddddddd this song is so, so special to me. Lemme tell y'all a story. Well, when I was still in high school, I was not part of the cool crowd. I mean, I was friends with the cool kids but most of close friends are more of the outsider type. There was this contest on our school. It was a lip synch contest and because lip synching is considered lowbrow, no one wants to touch it. So of course, I was tasked by our class president to take over that contest and find someone to represent our class. The cool kids flocked to the hip hop dance contest because it was the cooler contest. So what did I do? I asked my very uncool, shy best friend to do the lip synch contest. I told her I'll guide her all the way through, teach her the moves, practice with her, etc. She agreed and we decided that she'll lip synch to Wait A Minute by the Pussycat Dolls. She's Nicole, of course. The good sis already knows the whole song by heart (even the Timbaland rap dddddddd QUEEN). I then gathered a few of my bored girl friends to be the other Pussycat Dolls members. And then we were looking for our Timbaland and we have none! We have a few guy classmates who likes rap music so I thought I'd just ask one of them to do it for us. NO ONE WANTED THE GIG DDDDDDDD. I begged and begged this really asshole-y guy to be our Timbaland and after a few desperate pleas and friendly threats, he agreed but he told us he's not gonna perform or whatever. He was just gonna rap and disappear. He didn't want Nicole to interact with him. WHAT KIND OF MARIAH CAREY LEVEL OF DIVA BEHAVIOR??? I agreed because we literally don't have any other option. We practiced and practiced the routine (I'm not a part of the performance; I was just the coach). But the thing is, we never had a perfect practice because the cool kids refused to lend us the record player so we can practice with music. So we practiced WITH NO MUSIC. I don't know how we did but looking back, I thought it wasn't really a big deal ddddd. Then came the day of the contest. There was some cheap lip synch performances. I thought, we got this for sure. Only one performer seemed like a threat but I know she'll have a hard time winning because I know one of the judges and she hates her dddddd. Then my friends got to the stage and were about to perform. Then the music played and OH LORD HJALP, the other Pussycat Doll members got lost! It was their first time to hear the song, they panicked, they forgot the dance routine, THEY JUST STOOD THERE AND POSED LIKE SOME BORED HAS-BEEN SUPERMODELS. Thankfully, my girl Nicole came the f--- through!!! She killed the stage and performed like a true superstar. The crowd were wowed by her lip synching skills. Who knew the shy girl with a really bad weave can kill a performance like this? NO ONE WAS READY. The biggest surprise was Timbaland though. I think he was so hyped by the crowd's reaction to the performance that HE INITIATED THE INTERACTION WITH NICOLE. They were bickering on stage, throwing some candy at each other, etc. THE CHEMISTRY WAS OFF THE CHARTS. I was hollering with the crowd and dancing with Nicole because I was so afraid she'd forget the dance moves ddddddddddddddd. In the end, we won the contest. The cool kids who kept the record player to themselves flopped and just came in second place on the hip hop dance contest. KARMA IS A SAVAGE BITCH, I HEARD. Poor it. And that's sincerely Slice of Life. <3
