Pussycat Dolls
?? Don't Cha
| It was an old roommate of actress Christina Applegate who first formed the Pussycat Dolls dance troupe, their old fashioned burlesque routines quickly becoming a cult attraction in Los Angeles clubs such as the Viper Room and the Roxy. Part of their appeal was the fact that on any given night a "name" celebrity might join them onstage to perform and this led to them having extensive contact with the music industry (the girls ending up with a starring role in Pink's 'Trouble' video. With such a powerful brand name behind them and with the appropriate connections it was perhaps inevitable than an enterprising producer would hit on the idea of turning them into a full blown musical act - and the result has been an instant smash hit album in the US and this week a massive Number One hit single in the UK.
First of all it is worth commenting on just what a departure from the norm they represent.
