@JustPaul one new song they recently released... Excuse your rude ass, but im sure this comment referred to the past songs too. Not to mention Meghan Trainor ft "pussycat dolls" aka Nicole Genetics. It was basically Nicole only. Which im not saying is bad because i do really like Nicole but if you're gonna be a group, actually let the entire group get solo parts. Bad management and bad on her for not speaking up about letting the girls shine too.

Yet you’re coming for the interviewer over some questions that every fan has always wanted to know; ones that are indeed about Melody and her career, her history, her decisions, her current life, and not Nicole. PCD was a HUGE part of Melody’s career and what made her known today, of course it is going to be brought up in interviews.. just like Destiny’s Child, One Direction, Fifth Harmony, NSYNC, the list goes on. Those upbringings become a huge part of them that will be mentioned every now and then, along with entire interviews about their solo career. The interviewer even called the groups work Melody’s “own work”. You just want something to complain about.. Make it make sense, you can’t. And to respond to your last reply to someone, no those weren’t the only 3 questions asked to Melody that didn’t involve PCD. If you cared enough about Melody, like I said, you would know there is a full interview about her solo career where this is just a small clip from that. This entertainment news channel posted a clip from a fraction of the interview involving PCD, so that is what the video is about and doesn’t include the other parts obviously.

​@@dannyblue2178 I do listen to Melody's solo work. My favorite from POMBL is Hit the Ground Running. I love Phoenix Rise from her latest, Lioness Eyes. Space is my favorite solo from Doll Domination. I clicked the video to hear about Melody and her solo efforts and was disappointed that the majority of conversation was about PCD. Sure it was nice to hear the story behind the AMAs mishap, but all the other PCD related questions had been asked a million times before 10 years ago. Yes, it's going to follow her throughout her career, but when she's trying to promote her new project, it shouldn't just be thrown in the last two minutes at the end.

It's probably a nervous thing. People have do different things, touch their face, Hair, tap, play with something like a watch, their nails, clothes, etc.

[@relatablyreena4411]

It's her hair she can touch if she wants however I gave a like bc I agree she is wise lol

[@Ramury7]

I totally agree with the "hair touching" thing. I wonder what a body language expert would make of that.

[@kmallory100]

Gotta check the tracks!

[@darellgrant8753]

Her saying "I'm Done" is her favorite song is literally shady AF and hilarious

[@raaid22]

She has so moved on. Good for her. She is has started a new chapter in her life and she isn't looking back.

Im so happy she say this ! I always wanted to know

I really loved whenever we got to really hear Melody sing in PCD. I remember when I first got to hear her sing, I fell in love. And I said if I had a daughter, I would name her Melody 😆

[@HouseofEmanuelDillard]

Get her new album! I love it! Phoenix rise! ❤️

[@dezzomajezzo3907]

I’m glad that she answered all my questions and she basically decided not to be part of the reunion

[@kathym6229]

That ending song definitely sounds like something from a movie!! I loved PCD but Melodys voice sounded too good for it. Like she said her voice is a lot more soulful ❤️❤️

[@chrissystewart6268]

Melody She looks great I hope to see her on tv God bless Melody Thornton

[@miss.jporter7867]

I love Melody she is amazing & talented

[@giselleyanez6977]

If we’re being honest I didn’t even notice half the members are gone now. They had too many to begin with anyways and the group basically only relies on the lead vocals of Nicole. So hopefully if works out for melody and PCD individually. 😊

[@muzakkirnf7921]

Haha have your seen K-POP groups 😂

[@silentreader77]

@@muzakkirnf7921 at least there is more than one person singing

[@marlon-eric]

She so respectful and honest

[@chrissystewart6268]

I love Nicole & Melody from P.C.D.. I love seeing Melody

[@kmallory100]

I Stan Melody! I don’t mess with PCD if Mel is not there!

[@Anthonyfirgo]
