The Pussycat Dolls
PCD
(A&M/Universal)
"Why you be buggin' like I'm some kinda ho?" ask The Pussycat Dolls. Gee, we can't imagine.
Could it be because you're basically a bunch of glorified strippers?
Or that only one of you -- ringer Nicole Sherzinger, formerly of manufactured Popstars combo Eden's Crush -- is listed as singing "all lead and background vocals" on this disc? Or that aside from a couple of token songwriting credits for Sherzinger, none of you penned any of these dozen songs?
Or that after the three tracks featuring Busta Rhymes, will.i.am and Timbaland, the rest of these cuts are limp dance-pop, overcooked ballads and embarrassing covers (Tainted Love? Puhleeze) that make Vanity Six seem like The Supremes?
Or how about the most alarming thing of all: That you were dumb enough to release this as a CD instead of a live DVD?
