Quotes
 At
first everybody was submitting really tacky songs, ... Like 'miaow,
miaow'… stuff about pussy power, bad kitties.
When
I think about eighteen months ago when this all began and how far we've
come, I can't wait to see where we are eighteen months from now. It's
also such an honor to have the baton of a number one song passed to us
by an icon like Mariah
Carey. It
was like a train and it was moving fast and people had to jump on board
-- it's been crazy, ... When you're in the Top Ten, you never dream of
being No. 1. Eventually, not with your first debut song. When our song
hit No. 1, it was like, 'Is this real? Are you guys kidding me?' But
it's great. It
gets both crowds. People loved the beat of the song, and it's a lot of
fun and flirtatious. When they got to see the video, they saw these are
real girls having fun, not taking themselves too seriously. It actually
turned out to be a huge summer female anthem. We're
very sensitive about what we do, or don't do. We're sassy and classy. The
word feminism has negative connotations for men. Rather, we are wanting
to celebrate females and their confidence. There is no political agenda
behind my work. I'm just trying to make music that makes me feel good
and confident. We've got a cool message. I
knew by the people who were involved, the machine behind it, that this
was going to be something. Where we are today, it's kind of unbelievable
to think about, that in a year we'd have two No. 1 hits, been No. 1 in
11 countries. But that's why I signed on to the project, because I felt
it was going to be big; I just didn't know how big. We're
on a wave, ... And we're going to ride it as long as we can. We
were lucky enough to work with Will, and that kid is a monster. He just
came in, spit his verses and then got to work on the beat. And the whole
time, we were like, 'Wow, we can't believe this is happening!' We're
fans of the Black Eyed Peas for a long time, and we always wanted to do
a collaboration with them. All
I could say was, Go get our album. And God bless you. We
don't take ourselves too seriously. I don't think we're trying to be
anything that we're not. We're not, like, trying to reinvent the wheel
or anything. A
lot of time we didn't know where we were going or how it was going to
transition from fishnets into hip-hop, ... But it's worked out. We
believe in what we do and I think people get that. Our
group has evolved since our The Viper Room shows and has become a little
more family-friendly, it's definitely more PG, ... So when we go on tour
we just want to bring the same energy and the same excitement and the
same performance level that we had at The Viper Room and just multiply
it times 100. It
just seemed fitting to have our own lounge with our own dance review
that paid homage to where The Pussycat Dolls originated, ... So it
wasn't just another nightclub. It
was somewhere where people can go and see an old school show with real
dancing and real performing and real singing. It's perfect for Vegas.
It's got that whole cabaret, burlesque-inspired review of dancing, and
the whole fishnets, and boas. Will
was a big fan of the message of the song. He was just the perfect person
to work with.
