5.0 out of 5 stars
SOUND OF 2005, 11 Nov 2005
Don't Cha, the debut from Nicole, Ashley, Melody, Jessica, Kimberly and Carmit - aka The Pussycat Dolls - is without a doubt the hottest single of the year. Blasting in clubs two months before its release, there's no doubt it's infectious, and will go down as one of THE rnb songs of the noughties.
Nicole's vocals are lush, and as the other reviewer wrongly stated, you CAN hear the other dolls - Melody and Carmit back up Nicole on the choruses.
Undoubtedly a great song to get your groove on to, The Pussycat Dolls deliver bigtime, and it's no wonder the song was a worldwide smash. And the album isn't half bad either (although why did they release Stickwitu?) Checkout Buttons, Bite The Dust, and the cover of Donna Summer's classic Hot Stuff.
The Pussycat Dolls are here to stay.

No!, 3 Oct 2005
This song is so overated it's untrue. For a start the group should be called "Nicole & the Pussycat Dolls", as she's the only one who you can hear singing. The video's worse, as you only see very brief glimpses of the other members of the group.Then you've got Busta Rhymes, reduced to doing a cameo appearance on this rubbish. Poor Busta, where did it go wrong? Plus the whole subject matter, which encourages blokes to cheat on their girlfriends just because the woman is good for a one-night stand! Bad, bad, bad - don't know why this stayed at Number 1 over here for 3 weeks!

Hands off!!!, 28 Aug 2006
I know that song from the radio and must admit that it's the biggest nonsense I have heard for long. Neither do I notice (I know I don't) any kind of a useful message in there, nor any musical and lyrical quality.
Indeed, the lyrics are embarassingly trivial. "I know u luv me. I know u luv me. I know u do. I know u do." It sounds like a line from a 1st school year's learning book and it's a shame that something like that has apparently got credit throughout the world which it's even not worth.
The musical side of the song is not better. Apart from the fact that the rhythm includes something like moaning, which makes it even more ridiculous than it already is, the vocal lines are just poor. The singer, for it's just one, seems to lisp or have some other problem with proper pronunciation. And her voice is extraordinary - well rather extraordinarily sleepy and hardly to bear. In addition we've got a digitally treated chorus repeating the singer's embarassing words as if saying a prayer. Only that a prayer's words are more content than that rubbish. By the way, any amateur having a good audio software on his computer will be able to create vocal track treatments far beyond that.
It's a mystery to me how something that poor, both in musical and lyrical quality, could have gained such a worldwide success. Apparently, people who have an understanding of music will surely shake with their heads. Me too, for I'm speechless. It might be a nice, though no good, tune for teenagers gaining their first experience in dating but for people who like genuine music it's just an offend.
