Nicole invested her own money ($150K) in reunion while Robin Antin borrowed and spent  $600K from Livenation even before girls agreed for reunion. Robin wanted to launch Pussycat Dolls Next Generation and get rid of original dolls. 
Nicole got them perfomance in X Factor because she was judge there, Pussycat Dolls also had the same managment agency that represented Nicole's solo career so I think Nicole got it.

Oh wow, she really wanted this reunion to happen. I feel bad for her, I never liked Robin, seems like she screwed over a lot of people.

It wasn't Nicole fault, Robin built this group this way.
Nicole was the only one who was signed as a signer. Other girls were signed as dancers - they were dancers in music videos of other artists before they joined Pussycat Dolls, they weren't vocalists.

39:00  Kimberly says they were always told they are replaceable, it it wasn't positive environment and that PCD was supposed to be brand with Nicole as singer and dancers who can be replaceable.

 

 

Alright the group was built with that intent, but it wasn't that what gave the group success. Although Nicole has killer vocals, they were never the main attraction. What made PCD so popular was their sex-appeal, catchy songs (mostly covers), the amazing choreo, and how everyone could see themselves represented in (or attracted to) at least one of the girls.

Even she, by investing this much in a reunion, knows that this is ultimately their success formula, and her only real chance at popstardom. She didn't invest because she thinks the girls deserve more than they've had so far (her conditions were basically the same as before, as initially established by Robin), she invested because she knows the girls aren't as replaceable as their contracts suggest.

I think a good way to go about it would be to take kind of a Sia route. Nicole should do the vocals (and get payed more for it obviously), with back vocals and occasional solos from the girls. But the marketing and visual representation should be split evenly between them, making them all equal dancers on videos, stages, and interviews (with equal pay for that part).

Nah nah nah, heres the thing. Yes, Nicole has invested a lot of herself in the project sure. But from the jump, through her own narcissism, she made sure she was the center. Its not that the other girls could not have contributed or built a career for themselves through the group, its that Nicole did not allow for that to happen and was such a raging dou*chebag. The Pussycat Dolls as a brand/show existed long before she ever invested into it.

She knew/knows deep down that she has zero chance of a solo career. She does not have that "x" factor, ironically, on her own to carry a successful and relevant pop career. She NEEDS the group as much as she forcibly made them need her. Her investment in PCD was a selfish act where she treated her groupmates like pawns for her to experience a successful career that she knew she could not attain otherwise.

Shes beautiful and talented but shes honestly just awful.

Yeah no, I actually talked about both the second studio album and the reunion. They basically released her solo project with the PCD name back then, and she did put the most work into the reunion and it was carrying on the shoulders of her career. 

And the thing with the PCD is.. yes they existed before her, but she was hired as the lead singer, from the get go, the others were hired as dancers and background singers before the project was turned into a music act.

The Pussycat Dolls were glorified background dancers BEFORE their music career started. Nicole was ultimately cast as the role all the solo artists had when they joined them in their revue shows. The issue wasn’t Nicole pushing them down, the issue was how the people behind the group told the others members and the public that they were anything but that.

And that is disheartening, honestly it bothers me more than anything because the PCD meant so much to me as a child and still do to this date.
