She has said that she was hired to be a singer for the dolls but was made to be a dancer when she isn't a dancer. She was publically frustrated with the dolls and felt they were crushing her dreams by not letting her sing. I think it's very mature of Melody to not put herself in situation that isn't mentally healthy for her by touring with the dolls again.

Melody is not on the PCD 2020 Reunion because, she wasnt even singin when she was on the group; she is focusing on her solo album. it was her choice.

She sounds pretty good when she's not screaming and trying to imitate Christina Aguilera.

Melody reminds me of Jessica Simpson (you should cover her in a video at some point). They both get caught up in this mindset that singing is all about constantly showing off and riffing and every note sung has to be huge/flashy and as a result their singing and performances come off as so inauthentic and try hard and it ends up having the opposite effect. Instead of impressive its off putting and not always pleasant to listen to. Both can sing & have incredible potential if they reigned it in and learned technique to balance sublety with those big notes, they'd be so much better.

I enjoy Melody, she was my favourite from PCD. I do agree that she sometimes tries too hard but like Georgina says, there's so much room for improvement because she has a good range!!!

today is wednesday but i’m still happy this is here

melody thornton is so amazing

There is a performance of Buttons where she had to take over the first verse for Nicole and she did fairly well.

Gonna be honest - didn't expect her to be this good. From that other video where she sings over Nicole, she sounded AWFUL. She's really not that bad.

Love Melody! I wish they would've let her have some lead vocals when PCD was in their prime.

Melody sings amazing and like you said she has a lot of potential and should’ve had more vocals in PCD. But I do think her voice suits more in the pop music area and she’s trying to fit her voice in an Adele music area.

Sometimes I think to myself: "Georgina there isn't just the eritish english. The pronunciation of some words are just the way they are in America, Canada or Australia

I feel sorry for Melody because she was so damn young when she started and was going through so much, so it's clear the bad habits she developed: oversinging, too many riffs, shouting to be heard - have stuck with her well into adulthood. She can't let go of her PCD past.

The issue with Melody is yes she’s a good singer, but she thinks she’s a GREAT singer. Yes she has a GREAT voice, but having a great voice and having great technique are two completely different things. That’s why she has never really seen a vocal coach or anything, because she thinks that she’s already this amazing vocalist, which yes she has the potential to be one, but she needs to learn to let go of some of those bad habits because her voice has so much potential but she needs to learn how to really control and use her voice properly.

I prefer this style for melody. There’s definitely an old soul inside her. I think she’s great only thing holding her back I think is her confidence to support those riffs because she sure can do them there’s no question about that. What people don’t realise is being in pcd was holding her back. Even though they had great success commercially a healthy work environment is just as important.

It really does baffle me why she wasn’t used more in PCD instead of Nicole constantly Yes Nicole has the best voice but they can all sing, some more than others but doesn’t all girlbands have that?? Yet they all sing! I’m a massive PCD fan but it has and will always frustrate me how Nicole was used constantly

I had the pleasure of seeing her in "Rip it Up: The 70's" last year and she was spectacular. I went for Rachel Stevens and left as a Melody fan!!

First of all I love you Georgina , you’re the best . Then everyone we all know Nicole and melody have a great voice but Nicole has a mature and experienced voice plus the tone of her voice is more commercial. And melody , she’s kind of obsessed with that Christian Aguilera’s voice she need to work on her vocals more.

I sense some PCD fans who are bitter in the comments that melody choose to avoid the reunion. her voice is good its just she does sometimes go over the top and easily deserved more from what she got from PCD.

Coming from a huge Christina Aguilera fan she’s my hero I do think Melody try’s to sing in a Christina style - you honestly need to react to Jessica Simpson - I wanna love you forever it’s absolutely insane xx

She has a decent high range and when she's using mixed voice she isn't straining nearly as much as when she tries to bely... She could be so much stronger and more consistent if she wasn't trying to run down and sound like other people. The runs are always sloppy or they crap out before she reaches the low notes. You don't have to sound soulful and powerful to be effective. I bet the best version of her voice is probably very light and bright and mixed... not growly, guttoral belts

Melody always performs like she’s auditioning for something. If she just reigned it in a little she’d be much more pleasant to listen to.

LOL !!! It's Wednesday ,but I AM GRATEFUL

It’s sad she didn’t ger enough lines on PCD cause there is a song called Painted Window in which Nicole and Melody sing together and it is totally fine, they have harmony together (at least in studio)

She seems good as a good background singer. She has nice presence, though. Your analysis is right on, Georgina. KEEP IT UP.

I'm surprised. I had no idea who Melody Thornton was, but girl can sing.

Melody is the best ❤️

She's just quite plain. Not bad but plain. Nicole to be fair is categories above her but she should have gotten some more parts

I love her voice!

Love Melody's voice! Understand why she's not going to be in a reunion that doesn't do her justice at all.

For Nicole the team is just her thats why I think Melody keeps trying to surpass Nicole because its all about her and not the team. Melody can sing but did not get her opportunity to show her talent.

Is it just me or did the band sound like a karaoke backing?

Melody ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

She's not a bad singer, she lacks technique tho but i feel like she tries too hard idk

I wish she got more parts to sing when in the group

one of Melody's problem is that she thinks vibrato and changing her mouth shape = vocal runs

those little things you said "she misses", it’s really what makes her unique, its this things the makes us love Melody more and more!!! I'm so inlove with Mel voice...

I always likes her voice but those constant riffs 😪

I love her voice, Melody so talent.

I just love how she not trying hard to sing! Just comes out beautifully

Did you do carmit already?

Second comment: what an honor! Lol I love your videos!!!

Shes getting residual cheques for her work with the PCDs so shes not starving or desperate so dont feel sorry for her shes living a very comfortable life

This was the first time that Melody sung alone in a tv show :)

First song was average. And as far as the band, it kinda reminds me of jamaican music. They don't want the singer to be out done by the amazing band. So I get it.

You know, now that we have Melody her interviews online where she explains certain things (saying she is a vocalist and that she didn't get the recognition in the band she wanted or she feel she deserved) like I get that and I do believe she actually can sing but most of the performances Nicole is doing 100% and nailing it all the way through and I see Melody just not giving her all... She's behind on the dancing and the few notes she has to sing (also standing still or sitting on a high chair, not even dancing), they go wrong a lot of the times for whatever reason. This stings a little with me. It's okay to call yourself a vocalist and not 'just a back-up dancer' but you'll have to be careful and make sure you nail every little thing so if people go look back performances they can say: you're right! you deserved more lines, more spotlight and more of everything but right now that's just not the case in my opinion. Please don't get me wrong tho, I think her voice is good and easy to listen to, it's just her way of handling this whole i'm a vocalist thing... This performance is a whole other genre and setting from when she was in the PCD and she wanted more there but If I see this and her performances in the PCD i'm just not shure if that was her place to be... + why she would've stayed in it for so long if it was really that bad... If you're so shure about being so great, then go chase you luck and take it in stead of feeling miserable in a band where you feel like you must out-shine the lead singer who actually does deliver quality.

For a sec I really thought it was Thursday 😳 #thehonestvocalcoach 😉

She suffers from Aguilera Syndrome: too much. But she's good. Really good. The fact that she had been completely invisible just shows how incredibly mean Nicole's ego is.

Agreed! That band was atrocious!

This is probably the best I have heard her. She is usually terrible.

What a instrument! Her voice! But I feel all this smiling disconnected to those songs. As she don't really feel what she sing.

Melodies mannerisms are cringe worthy. It seems like she’s acting and ends up doing the most to look cool. She probably lives in her head

Nicole is my favorite!

Lord this woman

Her tone is better than her vocal. I think she should do some more dancepop songs instead of the ones that out of her control. I love her part in Beep very much.

Melody is not PCD material, to me. And can't out do Nicole, that's for sure.

Melody has a pretty strong voice. She sounds great to me, unlike Jessica and Ashley. Folks around here (comments below) are tone deaf.

It feels like listening to Jessica Simpson, beauty, talent, potential but no technique and overdoing it with the screaming

I would love to hear Melody sing an Amy Whinehouse song ...

She simply isn‘t effortless or charismatic... it feels like she tries too hard to be a „star“

5:09 my favorite part haha 😂

Melody THIS >>> Melody PCD

nicole and the dancers were really good

She's kinda of over-doing it....

❤

is it just me or is her vibrato unnecessarily slow like wow

I feel if Melody didn't force her voice too much and over-riff she'd be a great singer.

I wanna like her but she tries way too hard.🤦🏼‍♂️

The musicians are awful! Melody is a star, I just wish she could get a break!!!! I love her music.

She just does a bad impression of Christina Aguilera. The singing in the back of the throat, the tapping of the microphone. Its all a bit affected for me.

Poor melody, she cant pay a decent band!!

She has a voice but no technique...

She belonged on backup and bg vocals, sure she has talent but she isn't there yet. Likely never will be. Sadly she didn't know her place. She just isn't a Nicole.

I don't know but she's like always wanting to belt out. Not a fan of the dynamic of the entire performance. Great tone no doubt, i think better than Nicole's (No hate). She needs a vocal coach to be able to use her voice properly.

I feel like there is a lot of potential there. The band are atrocious. It's all very woman with decent voice gets up and sings in a bar. It could have done with a bit more production all round and would have been better

I don't like her facial expressions at all. She has a good voice but she tries too hard and the whole performance becomes a bit trashy I think. She'll never be as good as Nicole.

im just not into her.. i dont feel a connection... no emotion,, feels like to forced.. liked bad acting

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I really do not like her voice it's shallow has no depth she sings with no emotions and tries way to hard

The Pussycat should stop dancing too much and just sing!

She just isn't that good🙈😂

She should just be thankful as she has been part of PCD for years. She always tries too hard, she thinks she is Aguilera but she’s clearly not. My last conclusion is that she’s just a bunch of shouting and screaming 90% of the time

Unpopular opinion I think she’s better than Nicole

She is better than Nicole

Her voice isn't soothing to the ears

She would do well having some lessons off you she has power but too many riffs and her vibrato is too slow and unatural... bad habits x also that hair is sooo big!!!

She sing better than nicole

She doesn't have any unique thing. She's trying hard to be christina aguilera wtf. Now, I understand why she was a backup dancer before.

She sounds a mess. She really can't do riffs. IDK why she thinks she can
