 It grows on you... July 14, 2008

When I first heard the song I thought it was kind of amateur but I really like pop music so it grew on me. Probably not PCD's best but I look forward to hearing their new album and what it has to offer.
For the record, the lyric mentioned above might sound like, "I wanna have b**bies" but it's actually, "I wanna have groupies."
 When will they grow up? July 13, 2008

Shirley Temple's "When I grow up" was a cheerful song about getting older. The infamous PCD turns it into "I want to be in the movies/I want to travel the world/I want to have b**bies." The rhythm is catchy enough... but unfortunately,that's all the song has. There's the refrain of "be careful what you wish for,you just might get it!" The PCD aren't musicians by any stretch of the imagination. It's true that "When I grow up" is meant to be a guilty pleasure song,but there's no pleasure in it. When will they grow up?

This is such a shame. PCD burst onto the scene are really captured an audience that most didn't expect. I'm mean seriously, how do you take a bunch of half-naked flexible women who can dance and turn them into an overnight sensation? Ok, I guess that answers that question. But when I first saw them, I thought... here we go. But instead, I was treated to a group of gals who actually carried a tune quite well and entertained the heck out of me. Then, the walls came crashing down and listening to this put it all back into perspective. I'm not sure how much money the radio stations take in everytime this single runs, but I hope they are at least getting their money's worth. It's the perfect example of what bands with no lyrical talent end up doing, and that's banking on their flesh to do all the talking and hopefully sell the record. In this case, not even that can help them. Descriptors that come to mind: awful, childish, novice, lame, painful....
 They Haven't Grown Up July 19, 2008

There is no doubt it has been more than a few years since The Pussycat Dolls made in onto the scene, pushing everyone's buttons. While Nicole on her own has hit a massive speed bump with her flop solo album, many have anxiously awaited for the Dolls to try something new. Unfortuntely, when it came to something new, it really feels like something old. Their new single, When I Grow Up, doesn't really appeal heart and soul, the way their earlier songs made the grade. Even though I wasn't a fan of the girl group, the songs just feel like they are just lacking heart, and this song feels like you just want to be a kid. If the Pussycat Dolls sophmore album feels as bad as this song, than it is a lack of a purr-fect experience.
Song: D+
 Missing the point? August 25, 2008

Lyrics wise it isn't the most profound pop song out there, but I think folks are missing the idea. We DO all dream of being rich and famous and having groupies (the lyric is not "b**bies") even if only in those minustes it takes to pay our bills or tune out our bosses. But just when we think that's gotta be the life, the refrain adds the shadow across the otherwise sunny Hollywood landscape painted by the verses, reminding us the grass isn't always greener on the other side. However, the better part of the song is the dance beat which is perfect not only for the dance floor, but also for working out your frustrations being stuck in 5-o'clock traffic.
