Forum Miss Bimbo, fashion community / The Pussy Cat Dolls, Good or Bad Role Models? - PUSSY CAT DOLLS (PCD)

They're still around?? I'll need to look up this new video, I can only imagine that it's going to be trashy and untasteful......... I miss the days of Steps and Aqua x

I miss Steps and Aqua too. They were so talented!

There's no straightforward answer.  PCD's main appeal is their sex appeal, which they showcase through suggestive dance moves and revealing clothing.  Sure, one or two of their songs have been radio hits, but who's really paying attention to the music?  (I don't follow them these days, but a few years ago when they released their first album, didn't they have only one singer and like five backup dancers?  further evidence to support the point that music is secondary and image is primary to them.)

I think PCD are fine for teen and adult audiences, probably best suited to the Vegas/LA crowd.  I don't think they should be role models for little girls or pre-teen girls, and I hope the parents of these girls don't condone any PCD-ish style of dress or dance that their kids might try to emulate.

ohhh emm geee I like really lovez the pussycat dollz they arez my idolzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!! omgz!!!!!!!!

I think that they are fun to dance to and fun to see their clothes, but that's from an adult point view-i'm old enough to understand the message.

Now, for the younger crowd....absolutely a bad role model and their latest song is basically drilling it into young minds that when they grow up they SHOULD want to be famous and in movies.  (that song is sooooo repetitive and i heard it going to work and coming back from work-so annoying lol!)

It's really their new song thats bugging me. The moral of it is worse than any other one of their songs.

BAD. I can't believe this could even be up for debate. They are strippers!!!! And the song lyrics? I'm not too familiar with their music, but I have heard many a young girl running around singing 'don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me'. aside from the obvious answer of 'no', this is a really poor message to be sending out to people. I can only imagine how all the cheated-on women out there must feel about this song.

Why are we making disparaging remarks about the strippers? Where is the love that the strippers deserve? Oh yes I forgot it is in the couch dance room. Anyone who uses dancers as roll models should have their head examined.

I like them. Just because I like the music and they really can dance. My daughter likes them too. I have to monitor what she hears of theirs, but most of it she can listen to. I let my kids choose what they like. I have my daughter who likes chicks that sing, Taylor Swift, Gretchen Wilson, PCD and Pink are a few, my older son likes scream metal and my baby son loves only country. I am not looking for the PCD to be a role model for my kids, or any other artist actually. That is my job. I figure if I am a strong enough role model, and my daughter conducts herself in a ladylike manner, then she can listen to whoever she wants.


Disclaimer* it is almost 3am, so if this is a ramble, ignore it

Lol if u listen to aquas lyrics yeh its not as tame as ud think 1st listening to it

No they are not good role models but since when did pop stars get given the role of surrogate parents to the kids that buy their music?

I don't think they're bad role models. I mean from what i've heard they don't do drugs or anything like most famous people. Are they bad role models just because they dress sexy?
I like them, I love there music and would love to have the figure and agility they all have especially Nicole. I am a PCDS fan
