Three years after the Pussycat Dolls unveiled their hit debut album, PCD, the former burlesque troupe returned with another round of sassy pop called DOLL DOMINATION. Although fans had been anticipating the much-hyped (and repeatedly delayed) solo outing by lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, DOMINATION fills in nicely, with the vocalist leading her statuesque sorority on a set of sensual, dance-oriented tracks. In addition to the techno-tinged single "When I Grow Up," which gives little girls everywhere the hope that they too can be a Pussycat Doll someday, the record includes the percussive "Whatcha Think About That," a mid-tempo tune that features Missy Elliott.

Talk about capturing the zeitgeist. The chorus to the Dolls’ latest megahit goes, "When I grow up / I wanna be famous / I wanna be a star / I wanna be in movies" and then on to extol many more materialistic virtues possessed exclusively by reality TV contestants. In the video, they strut about a catwalk like the Spice Girls on Paula Abdul’s "Cold Hearted" set. Wonder what they thought about In Rainbows...
