the muddy origin of ‘Dont Cha’ is interesting, a career defining 2005 hit for the burlesque group turned popstars wasn’t originally theirs. In fact, it had live a life of its own small success before being propelled to superstardom.

These men really judging women as fat and ugly because they're not specifically like J.Lo or PCD. Mind you both dancers with dancer bodies and trying to sell them as full rounded talents and suspiciously stealing from still gorgeous black singers like Tori and Ashanti. We wouldn't be out here like mocking birds if the environment wasn't full of the same repeated noise.

There is actually a girl group called 'Boys World' and they have released 2 songs so far. You can check their songs if you want to. 🙃

@sugarpearl9781 3 жыл бұрын

There’s Boys World for a more teeny bopper sound (kinda like kpop, really good choreo) and Good Girl for a more grown woman r&b sound (kinda like those all black 90s vocal groups). And of course there’s Chloe x Halle if you count a duo as a group. Edit: I forgot Little Mix!! They’re amazing! 10 years of great music!! Check out their discography!

This video (and the commentary about how new, black and specifically black artists go through it in the industry) made me think about Normani. You should do a video on her journey as a solo artist. I had such high hopes for her after Fifth Harmony and to this day want to see her succeed. But I can’t help but think about whats going on behind the scenes that we may not know about... Maybe she is just taking her time with the debut album (which I totally understand)? Maybe she is being gaslighted as an artist (which I also understand)?

Yet another song stolen from a black woman and given to non-black women. SMFH! Cee-Lo Green should be ashamed of himself, but I know he only cares about the green. Honestly, I never cared for Don't Cha. Buttons was The Pussycat Dolls' best song anyway.

@mjl5777 3 жыл бұрын

so robin antin (pussycat dolls creator) signed a huge deal with interscope records, and they wanted a hit to launch them off so universal decided to take the song to where they thought it could be more profitable and successful not only for the song but for the future, pcd sold over 50m records and it all stemmed from the success of dont cha. a similar thing happened with Scream and Shout (Britney and Will I Am) and tulisa

CeeLo did her so dirty, sigh. His interview when he was talking about 'looking for the Don't Cha girl' and saying that Tori was too 'cool and bohemian' to sing it was depressing to listen to especially in 2021. If you already agree and sign on one artist to a song, don't backtrack and flip or rob them of their opportunity.
