Nicole was passed out somewhere and when she heard Melody singing her verses she revived herself and ran to the stage like Usain Bolt. And also, WOW, Melody did amazing. She was SO underused.

[@harmonizer87261]

If they had given Melody a verse or a bridge here and there she would ve returned for the reunion. Don't they realize that us fans would like to see the other girls participate a bit more? I like Nicole. She def deserves lead. But I doubt she has the stamina to keep up, which is why it makes sense to let the others sing a VERSE or two..

[@remylabeau5140]

Harmonizer87261 right? Like damn even Beyoncé let Kelly and Michelle have their moments in the group in Destiny’s Child. I really do love PCD I just always wished the other girls had more to do

[@stressmuffin]

I saw an interview here on You Tube that one of the other members of PCD, said that she feels that she’s a glorified dancer. I respect Nicole’s talents, but she’s so overrated, & in this video, once she hit the stage, she was shady AF toward Melody. Not just Melody, I wish I can hear the rest of the band sing solos, because I’m sure they have great voices, too that deserve to be heard, too. With Melody not apart of the PCD reunion tour, I hope that she’ll have more success as a solo artist, than she ever did in the band. Also, I’d like to see Melody on Broadway, because she has a kick ass voice & at least, she’s a good enough dancer to handle choreography. I get a feeling that Melody can sing other genres of music well.

[@Adri.Adrianna]

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT! im pretty sure the reunion is nothin but the RELAUNCH OF NICOLES FAILED CAREER....look at her in the interviews-she's not happy at all,she donn know the girls at all....look at all PCD videos: other girls are shown not longer than just a second+ the camera always gets blurry/shaky while Nicole's scenes are focused and clear....

[@marqjacolini6787]

Kimberly was shocked when melody 1st started singing, also at 1:38 u can also tell Ashley was was abit stunned 😂😂😂

[@Contessa_Savannah]

I'm guessing that there was a wardrobe hang up and Nicole wasnt ready for the stage so Melody had to take over. This just shows how stupid it was for Nicole to be in charge of all the vocals when you had other members that could handle the lead as well. I would've loved to year more leads with Melody & Carmit back then. It would made the group feel more like an actual group.
