PUSSYCAT DOLLS

The Pussycat Dolls are an American pop girl group and dance ensemble, founded in Los Angeles by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995 as a burlesque troupe. After attracting national attention, Antin negotiated a record deal with Interscope Records in 2003 turning the group into a music franchise, which developed a global image and commercial brand overseen by Antin, Interscope and various partners. The Pussycat Dolls were launched into mainstream recognition following the release of their best-selling album, PCD, which contained the number-one singles "Don't Cha" and "Stickwitu". Despite critical and commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict and legal turmoil, as Scherzinger was promoted as the brands' lead member. Their sophomore album, Doll Domination, which contains themes the public interpreted as a channel to the group's experience, contains the worldwide hits "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part" and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)". In 2009, they announced a minor hiatus and was later revealed to be an official break up. The Dolls brand diversified into merchandise, reality television programs, a Las Vegas act, product endorsements, spin-off recording groups (Girlicious, Paradiso Girls) and other ventures.

In 2009, Billboard ranked the Pussycat Dolls as the 80th most successful musical act of the 2000s. As of today, the group has sold 50 million records worldwide making them one of the best-selling girl groups of all time.


It can be argued that the girls in Pussycat Dolls are being portrayed as sex objects. This shown through their clothing where there is a lot of flesh showing. This fits into the idea where a woman’s clothing tells you about her personality. The dance moves throughout the music video are quite provocative as they include a few sexual positions. Not only are the girls being presented physically as sex objects but also through the lyrics of the video such as, “Take a chance to recognize that this could be yours”. This suggests that the audience should look at the video from another light. “This could be yours” also suggests that it is as if her body is being sold to attract male attention to win this prize.

Pussycat Dolls definitely are synthetic band. In the beginning they were found as a dance troupe so they don't have any music education or talent to sing. Their produsers used their sexual attraction to sell them to people as the biggest part of their recognition is the iconic look were 6 girls are dancing and singing in provacative outfits. They don't write their own songs as tthey've been give to them (and sometimes sang as well).
