8 Reasons Why PCD Shouldn’t Win Their 8 VMA Categories
August 22nd, 2008
Is anybody else surprised about the Pussycat Dolls domination of the VMA nominations? Not that it matters, but they haven’t even released their album yet - which, by the way, is called Doll Domination. Ohhh, we see what you’re doing here, Pussycat PR geniuses. I can imagine the post-awards headlines: PUSSYCAT DOLLS DOMINATE VMAs (buy their album Doll Domination on September 28!). You sneaky devils. This could be the cheekiest marketing plan of the week.
PCD trail Britney by one nomination for the lead: le Spears clocks in at nine, whereas the hot trannies have eight - and they shouldn’t win any of them. But Wait, don’t get me wrong - I have an unhealthy love for PCD; my ringtone collection includes “I Don’t Need A Man” and “Beep”, and if I could magically transform into a superior human, I might choose Nicole Scherzinger. But if this awards ceremony is truly down for awarding the most influential, resonating, memorable videos of the year … will you remember “When I Grow Up” in 2010? How about next month? Anyway, here’s why I think they shouldn’t go home with any moonmen:
1. “When I Grow Up” hasn’t even topped the charts - it maxed out at #9.
2. Britney Spears, with all her pop influence throughout the past decade, has yet to win a VMA. The girl deserves some sympathy wins. So if it comes down to Brit and PCD? Brit every time. Well, except for Best Choreography. Brit kind of phoned in “Gimme More”.
3. In the Best Direction category, they’re up against Coldplay. Coldplay wins.
4. Video of the Year? REALLY?! Not that I agree with any of the choices, but they should probably go with Jonas Brothers. This was truly the year of the JoBros.
5. Best Art Direction? Aren’t they in the street? Call me ignorant but have you SEEN Kanye’s “Homecoming” or Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida”?
6. I get the suspicious feeling that the mob was involved with these nominations. Cheaters never win. I mean, they do.. but then they should feel bad about it.
7. Ok, so maybe they could win the Best Dancing category. I’ll give them that. Although…. Chris Brown is kind of superior.
8. Will “When I Grow Up” define 2008? No. And in the end, winners should be the jerks who shaped a year of music. I bet Kanye’s pretty bummed that he’s not on this list more…

Nice post…but then again, Much continues to give these “hot trannies” quite a lot of airtime if I’m not mistaken? I think we should get to the bottom of this before trying to figure the MTV VMA noms.

Two comments: 1) Britney deserves a sympathy award? What, is this music kindergarten where everyone gets a medal for attendance?? 2) PCD and the Mob? You may have meant to be sarcastic…BUT…take a look into PCD and BetOnSports - look into their show at the BoS 2002 opening of their “comp hotel” in Costa Rica, run by Gary Kaplan, currently awaiting trial for wire fraud, and RICO charges…and an upcoming performance dates in the poker and sportbook industry. Might be a good story here for a reporter to follow up on. (How do I know this? I was THERE. Anyone can verify these with a simple search.)

How dare you guys make it seem as if PCD hasnt worked hard enough for there 8 nominations… Much music is F*ing stupid not to support the dolls… After all the love they have For M.M and this is the crap you talk about them… WIGU is a great song and diserves it.. U are a bunch of losers who hide behind your computers… get a life!

Dear commenters,
This is not me hating on PCD. Like I said, I’m a fan (check my iPod for proof!). My point is that compared to other musical acts of 2008, they haven’t had a memorable year (YET). They’ve only released one track from an unreleased album. If next year their album has made waves with a few big singles (like their last CD), then we’ll revisit how I feel about them winning VMAs.
Bottom line: when you look back on 2008, will “When I Grow Up” be the one song/video you remember most? For most people, no.

My dear, let me tell you the bad news…MTV had people–yes, regular, average day people–vote for who gets nominated. Tell me, isn’t that the dumbest idea EVER!?
It’s about as stupid as having people vote from the live auditions on America’s Best Dance Crew.
