pcd PCD's “React” did not deserve to flop

[Matiz]

I love the song and was absolutely slayed by the video, but I agree taht they made some bad promotional moves and the song is basically a Nicole's song once again

[blackguillemot]

Well, at least the other dolls are in spotlight now compared to where they were past 10 years? Where were all of those who demand all of the Dolls to sing when they were releasing their solo stuff? All of them flopped. Ashley and Jessica released albums, Melody - some songs if I'm not mistaken.

I hope they release an album with solo songs like the did for Doll Domination.

I was disappointed with the video...    It was a rehash of Buttons, and I didn't feel the choreo...
They could have done something a little more challenging IMO.  

[DignifiedLove]

react is a brilliant song and didn't deserve to flop, ia, but the industry is very ageist, especially against older female pop/rock artists. 

[Mxra]

I personally like the song, and still listen to it most days. I was kinda disappointed when i heard that it was just Nicole singing. The only way i see them stopping the next album from flopping is for the next single to feature all the girls. If they decide to keep it all Nicole again... FLOPP

The really good video is overshadowed by how generic the song is

id multiple times that this time, the other dolls will be in the spotlight too. People are just sick about Nicole and the dolls and want THE DOLLS.

I totally understand why Baby Doll (Melody Thornton) decided not to be apart of the reunion. She is a singer.

At this point, it's safe to say Nicole is NEVER going to share her mic...
Even Beyoncé and her big ego, is letting her girls have their moments ! (Coachella & Super Bowl)...

There’s an element of nostalgia to it all for me...  However I personally love both the song and mv.

It’s easily one of my favourite tracks released this year. 
Pity it ‘flopped’ 

[RadicalOptimism]

It didn’t flop because it’s an incoming top hit on my Spotify Top Songs 2020

It is 100% Nicole's fault. She's insuffarable, and the bad energy translates to the public, we're not stupid. Poor girls though, the rest of them are great...

[Godney'sSweetCheeks]

Just posted a thread about this when I was on Youtube and saw React only had 25 million views. WTF? I expected something like 100 million. 

 

Guess no Melody = no PCDs 

[Spicechinodiva]

Well they should change the name to really match the picture 

 

Nicole Scherzinger and the *****cat dolls. 

 

If anything this is the modern day Diana Ross and the supremes. Only not as iconic and the lead singer had a successful solo and acting career compared to the latter. 

[A.a.A]

They did a million performances in Europe. Because of COVID they had to cancel North American promo.

Guys, there is a reason why Nicole's solo career never took off. She's beautiful and super talented but an awful person. And PCD is basically Nicole with gorgeous back-up dancers, so it's the same thing. People don't like her. Period.

Whats the actually difference between being under huge label And independent one? The big corporates have some bigger techniques for marketing right?

 

The difference is that they really had no chance of charting high, there's no marketing push, and there's no payola for Radio's to play it every hour claiming it was requested.

 

Chart success is mainly smoke and mirrors.

 

If they had a label backing them the single probably would have dropped at X-Factor and the money would have been there to make the video happen sooner. We would have had a second single and an album drop by now too.

 

Iggy Azalea can tell you the label push mainly dictates the charts.

 

A good example is Old Town Road, it was on an independent label initially. Once it started doing well a label scooped in and bought it up and all of a sudden it's topping charts.

 

Payola is very real yall...

[Britney'sBish]

 

If Nicole eased up on the reins a bit it would help

Tbh I've always loved them but they could have hit us harder than this lukewarm club song. This was more like single 3 or 4 once the hype has kinda died already anyways. Everything about the video was hot but the song wasn't exciting at all. It's not even in my playlists. And as much as I love Nicole.. this was supposed to be about the group and it's still a big focus on her.

[conceptuel]

the other girls are not singers though they're dancers except for Karmit 

don't forget that the PCD were a burlesque dance group at first, why are people whining about Nicole singing? 

still, I'd prefer seeing the other dolls in their MVs/performance just enough to remember their faces without faving to google them 

& that song was boring af  

and Nicole's outfit in her performance was awful, she looked like a boeuf bourguignon, she looks way hotter with more clothes on   Kimberley is even more beautiful than the past decade though, how did she do that? 

[NormaJeanSpears]

it really sounds like if imogen heap was a popstar to me idk...the vocals and vocal editing sound so much like an imogen heap song at times but then theres this big bouncing dance pop track behind it lmao

[lustwecantcontrol]

The song is mediocre at best especially for a comeback single and the whole girl group thing is so over in the us,  honestly I was shocked to see they were even gonna bother getting back together!
