Solange and the Pussycat Dolls were among the artists who took to the stage at Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve telecast, which aired last night. Peep the youngest of the Knowles clan perform ‘Sandcastle Disco’ and Nicole and them performing ‘Bottle Pop’ below:
Solange – Sandcastle Disco
Pussycat Dolls – Bottle Pop
While Solange continues to show why she is one of the more consistent talents to properly emerge from 2008 with her great performance(s), the Pussycat Dolls left a lot to be desired. I’m so sure that if I were to turn down the volume during their performances I wouldn’t be able to tell whether they were performing different songs, as their stage-show is all the same formulaic crap IMO.
What do you think of the performances?
I can’t see the performances.. Just an empty box with an ‘x’ on the top left.
i love solange
I like Solange but the performance was okay. Liking the straight hair on her though.
I loved both performances but when the pcd broke it down it was off the hook nicole had a little problem with the splits lol..but that blonde girl is use to her legs being split apart. for solange she always does good performing.
OMG!!! Pusscat Dolls rockz!!! I love their performance!! Oh that was sooooooooo hot!!! PCD are the best group ever!!
I have to agree with the other commenters…
PCD’s performance was soo HOT!!! I think it was one of their hottest performances to date!!
Make sure to watch the HD version on Youtube!!! 🙂
Solange was ok.
Solange’s performances are truly awesome . . . she exudes so much presence on stage . . . . I agree the straight hair looks good on her . . .
PCD . . . I would much rather just see them dance because they do deliver . . . . I wish they would allow the other girls to sing . . . . at least a little
They obviously use the same song writter and choreographer for Girlicous because they look exactly the same . . . and the song sounds so similar . . . .
The Pussycat Dolls and their album stink. They need a new choreographer, new writers and dammit when the hell are they gonna let the other girls take lead on some of these songs??!!
Perhaps in 2009 people will realize that they slept on Solange as a performer and songwriter.
“Bottle Pop” is my favorite track from PCD’s release but this performance seemed stale. As another poster said, maybe its the choreography. They should ring up Jonte…..
The knowles ahs you on their pay chart and if they don’t you are a dumb !@# to keep complimenting straight garbage!!!
Solange sings from her throat and through her nose which is not a good thing at all. Her live performances suck. She’s not a good vocalist.
I agree with 8:47 PM, Solange is not a good live performer at all. I do think she’s unique and released a good album though.
The Pussycat Dolls performance was good, butit’s the same old thing to me. Notice Nicole is the only one with a mic. It looks like she’s the solo artist and the rest are back up dancers. I know she was the only one singing all the parts as usual, but the rest of the girls could have at least have had on mic headsets to look like they were apart of the performance even through it would have been lip synching. I like Girlicious much better. Each girl gets camera time and solo parts. They’re also good dancers. I think they could give PCD a run for their money if they had better songs. Their songs sound too much like PCD. If they had a little more of an edge to them to make them more distinctive, I think they could blow up and leave PCD in the dust.
I loved solanges performance. In today’s music world when so much trash makes it to the stage it is good to see a true talent who can actually write a song give a decent showing…..PCD will not have my support until melody sings lead because she sings so much better than nicole (see: melody thorton covers christina aguilera’s hurt on youtube); after you watch you will understand.
I HAVE TO AGREE WITH 8:47 SOLOANGE SINGS THROUGH HER THROAT AND HER NOISE. SHE IS TERRIBLE LIVE AND MOST OF THE TIME I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE IS SAYING. TAKE SOME VOICE LESSONS BECAUSE I THINK SHE CAN DO BETTER THEN THAT.
FOR PCD…..NOPE THEY DON'T DO IT FOR ME ONLY BECAUSE NICOLE'S ASS IS ALWAYS SINGING AND SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE BEST VOICE. MELODY DOES. I GUESS BECAUSE NICOLE'S IS DIFFERENT BUT STILL I'M TIRED OF HER ASS ALWAYS IN LEAD.>>>>>>>>>>>>NEXT
I don’t like solange because i don’t think she can sing, but i do appreciate the freshness that she brings to the industry, and i think that her album should have sold more. if she can sell even half as many albums as beyonce, she’ll be doing good.
as for pcd, i liked their performance and i think that their album ‘Doll Domination’ was straight fire. Bottle Pop is the best song on the album, but i think that the breakdown bit at the end was a little wack. hopefully they’ll turn up the choreography for the video, which is due soon, and take them back to their ‘buttons’ days, because both that song and the video was the best they’ve ever done, i agree that melody should sing lead on most of the songs because she has a better voice than nicole, but she is not a good performer, she can’t dance to save her life
