I personally think it's a have. I don't see Asia touring with her baby with the PCD's. Eeyore.. I tend to agree with your boyfriend, as I wondering the same thing. Now I just went and looked at the info on the season 2.. the group is big enough already, so my guess is like others.. they will not be with the recording PCDs but the other ones.. Seems weird to me..

Here is what I found from the following site LINK . "The winner will join The Pussycat Dolls as the act's seventh member alongside the current members. The winner of the show, Asia Nitollano, will be featured on the sophomore album of The Pussycat Dolls, Double the Trouble." My question is, what is a sophomore album? Also some fun trivia from the site. Trivia Lead vocalist of the Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger, was also discovered on a reality show; The WB's reality series Popstars, where she was used to create the female vocal group Eden's Crush. Two girls in the top eighteen were contestants at Miss Teen USA 2005: Natascha Bessez, Miss New York Teen USA 2005 and Kelli Crossley, Miss Nevada Teen USA 2005. A third beauty queen from the same system, Miss West Broward USA 2007 Chelsea Korka, was chosen to be a part of the top nine and placed third overall. One of the girls in the top eighteen, Sandra McCoy, appeared in the film Cry Wolf as Mercedes. The house in which the contestants live is the same house used in America's Next Top Model, Cycle 4.

Sophomore album is the second album released by a group. If the sophomore album sells well, then the band is usually considered a success. (You've heard of "sophomore slump" in relation to TV shows? The second season sometimes doesn't meet the quality of the first season. If they can't overcome that slump, there usually isn't much of a third season!)

Eeyoreslament, I felt the same way about Asia, I thought from the beginning that they needed a black singer, and would perhaps make it obvious that they were. What I found silly in this show was that there were so many times they would shoot Asia down for her singing, and yet she still made the same mistakes in the final. Not sure why they felt they had to go that route, but whatevia. I did not find her the best singer or dancer on the show by a longshot. Also touring with her child, the long hours and days she will be gone, I don't think they made such a wise decision. I wish they went with a better singer and dancer, le sigh.

someone on TWOP posted a blog from a person close to the production....The production people (who were there the entire time) all thought Chelsea was going to win, but the president of the record company (who had never been around beforehand, not even for auditions) came to the finals and picked out Asia. So it was whoever could blend in with the rest of the band the best basically, they can teach her to dance, and the singing can be fixed up (plus it's Nicole who's the singer, they've admitted as much-the other 6 are her backup dancers) Because of that, even money says Season 2 will concentrate on the lead singer, because concensus is Nicole is gone if her solo album does well.

Do any of the other PCD have children? I really can't see Asia taking her baby on the road.

Apparently there are six Pussycat Dolls, but everyone only knows one, lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. The others do sing, but the success of the group has rested on her vocals and sex appeal. Scherzinger was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a Filipino father and a Hawaiian/Russian mother. She’s made it clear that after promotions for the first Pussycat Dolls album, that she’ll be embarking on her solo carry with no intentions to record a second. I guess we can kiss the Pussycat Dolls goodbye. (http://www.kineda.com/?p=986) I was under the impression this was why they did this show, to get some added interest in the Dolls and also a new member for when Nicole breaks away. My daughter was at the Christina Aguilera concert with the PCD and she said she could see that they were pushing Melody to become lead ...Her Name Is Nicole... is the first solo album by Nicole Scherzinger of The Pussycat Dolls. This album is to be released in June 2007 (wikipedia)

from dlisted.com The <100> Dolls performed in Atlanta last night without the winner of "The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll." Asia won the reality show and supposedly a spot in the group. TMZ reported that inside sources say it wasn't exactly a fit and they will probably banish her to back-up singer or have her perform at the lounge. The reality show has been greenlit for a second season, so maybe Asia is out? Robin Antin, creator of PCD, was seen partying last night with two of the finalists from the show and neither of them was Asia. The label insists Asia is part of the group and recording their next album. Maybe they discovered she had a vagina, so they kicked her out. That makes sense.

Maybe they discovered she had a vagina, so they kicked her out. ??! what does that mean? Am I missing something? ( the label might insist that Asia is part of the group but truthfully, she may be just 'one of the voices' on the new album.)

The "joke" is that some of the PCD (The meaner people say all of them) used to be men.

I don't mean to offend God, but a few of them do look a little too perfect to be natural.

Gee, ya think? I truly didn't think she fit in. She didn't really even have the "look" and I thought she'd pull the diva act. It was always about Asia, and never about the PCDs. Some of them are a little augmented, but some of them are quite natural. (And yes, you CAN tell!)

The group has a "hard" look to it and Asia fit in in that way, but I cannot imagine they really wanted to tolerate the mememe chip on the shoulder 'tude for long.

I think the group has a "sexy" look, not really "hard." Asia is definitely "hard" and I truly didn't think she was sexy at all. But each to his/her own, yes?

Totally agree with you Costacat, Asia was not a fit for the group, no sex appeal at all.

I thought Chelsea would fit right in but maybe they were worried she would show up the lead. I think Asia is very sexy when she is dancing and singing, just hate the way she taps the mic though
