Chelsea looks like an adorable kewpie doll or something. I think she's gorgeous in a very unusual way. I think the Dolls made a mistake, too. Asia is gonna be a handful and I think Chelsea wouldn't have been.

I am a new listener of the PCD. Well, I'm actually a fan of many of their songs, but never knew anything about who sang them. Anyway, I have a really hard time imagining Christina Applegate being one of them. Moves, yes - singing, no.

I think Christina performed when they were the burlesque troup? Are the recording PCDs the same as those who perform in the cabarets every night? They couldn't be, since they can't be in more than one place at a time, yes?

Maybe Chelsea ended up being too cute, and too talented (singing wise) to be in the PCD!

Yup, just checked Wikipedia, and the Dolls who record and tour are not the original burlesque troupe. And the ones who perform nightly are "cast members" who perform (and who have had guests such as Eva Longoria).

Hahahaha! I just had an evil thought! Maybe Asia, the newest PCD, will be one of the burlesque troupe dolls? HAHAHAHA!!! (Nah, probably not, but I loved that evil thought!)

Oh yeah, read about the Pussycat Dolls HERE. The wiki entry is pretty accurate from what I recall. I've known about the burlesque troupe for years, and I've been a fan of the recording PCDs since I first heard them singing "Sway" in "Shall We Dance" in 2004.

Just wondering how Asia will deal with being away from her child? Or, will she go on tour with her? I kind of figured Asia was going to win just from a few things. The other 2 were very talented, so I am sure they will have no worries in their careers.

oh crap! I didnt want Asia to win for that very reason..but I guess on the flip side she will earn lots of money that will help her take care of her kid.

(Just in case someone else doesn;t want to know)Knowing that Asia wins, and I did want to know, just makes not really interested in the last show. I thought I wouldn't care once Melissa S was gone, but she was the one that I felt wouldn't really fit in. Based on the info you guys have revealed about the various PCD groups which does answer another question that I had about who was leaving that they needed to replaced (obviously no one). Maybe she does fit in. I think that Chelsea would actually fit best in the group I see on TV.

Well, now that I've watched it. I guess I could concede that in the solo portion, Asia did seem to outperform the other two. But then, she had an upbeat song to jam to, while the other two's songs were more in the ballad type range. Since I think it was the judges (or whoever) who chose their songs for them, seems like it was set up for Asia to gave a butt kicking performance.

Did anyone notice that Asia's song was the only one they allowed backup filler vocals for? Not a lot of her own voice in that song....her chorus was very filled out. That was the worst ending to a show EVER. Asia is not good looking, and can't sing. Basically they wanted to make up a whole series, to advertise the group, and just find a random backup non-singer, mediocre dancer. You saw it by how "featured" she was in that final song with all the rest of the PCDs.

Whoami and Eeyore stole my thoughts! If Asia would have had to sing one of the other 2 songs, her poor singing would have been exposed. The backup singers really covered the roughness of her singing. Maybe the most telling comment was when Melissa did well with her solo and Nicole said that Melissa just made her job much harder. Sounds like they just wanted to carry Chelsea to the final 3 as the feel good underdog story and they were probably hoping that Melissa would mess up her solo and justify their pick of Asia. So, basically it was an 8 week infomercial to promote the PCDs and they picked a girl that would not threaten any of the existing members. Asia just disappeared in that final number and that's probably what Nicole wanted. Don't I wish my girlfriend was hot like Asia? Not so much! One good thing about the results show: I can finally see the last 5 episodes of Veronica Mars.

I voluntarily watched this show because I like reality, the PCDs, and the competition. But if I saw Asia onscreen again I would change channels. Her finger-waggling is SO annoying, and her voice makes me cringe. She tries so hard to show off with the vibrato (or whatever) and tone it just kills the song, like too rich icing on a perfectly good cake. She has to learn to take it down a few notches. Along with those things is all the gesturing - lifting her arms, stretching out her fingers, flailing about - she needs to learn to control her body!! That's why I liked Chelsea so much - she didn't do all that frilly stuff. And what was with the cat fight in the middle of the night? I mean, give me a break. The PCDs just invited a girl with a built-in diva attitude. It sucks so much that Chelsea lost. Hopefully this show has given her the exposure to go on her own. Just a glance at the various message boards should prove to her and potential producers and agents just how popular she is.

Now that I've seen the finale, I totally agree with y'all... Asia was the only one who performed an upbeat number (with backup vocals). She was slated to win, and it was obvious in the final performance. Yeesh. (And I agree, I don't think she's that attractive!) Funny, too, but I just didn't see her fitting in well with the Dolls. Watching her perform the finale number with the other "real" PCDs, she just didn't WOW me! And all of the other girls are flat out freakin' gorgeous, with gorgeous bodies. Asia, not so much. I was really disappointed reading who won, and even more disappointed watching the show. Bleah. Really, a bad taste in my mouth. (FWIW, I think Chelsea may end up being signed by Geffen. I think she's got a beautiful voice, and has the whole package. I dunno what'll happen with Melissa R. She's got a great voice, but I don't know if she's truly got the spark to make it as a solo star.)

Crap! I was trying to avoid being spoiled and then I clicked on an AOL link for some American Idol Clips and bam.. they had a clip about Asia winning, so not only was I spoiled but very disappointed as well. I really don't get it. Still have to watch the final episode.

Sea, it really was clear who they planned to win. When you watch the solo songs it will be very evident!

I thought they showed the fight to show how Chelsea stayed outta the drama and thought that was an edit for her to win maybe they didnt want her to win and be stuck with PCD for a long contract, maybe Fair wants something more for her was it ever clear if Asia is a PCD that will tour and make records or just one of the nightly dancers at the la club?

pamy, that is my thoughts exactly! chelsea would have gotten lost in the PCD. and after watching where they put Asia. I think she's perfect. she can dance and background sing. she won't be the PCD's lead singer with nicole around. chelsea would be better to get her own recording contract. Fair seemed enamored with her. and he does create recording stars!

I'm watching now and yeah, Asia has upbeat and backup vocals, but Melissa also had lots of backup filler vocals as well, just a much less upbeat song. Chelsea was mostly on her own, seemed like a much more difficult proposition. I certainly hope Chelsea gets something good out of this. Good grief, they are all so young! From their comments, it almost sounded like Chelsea has transformed but she is still transforming and might be too good (Lil Kim, said not in that space.. ) Melissa most complete but deer in the headlights and Asia a performer more than a singer.. sounds like the least likely candidate, but NO. But, she actually fits in with that group; they all have that hard look and so does Asia. Sigh.
