This ain't an album review. I just write this for a dissappointing performance due to the team of Pussycat Dolls. The gals are fabulous, the music is great, but what happens here's that the marketing sucks.
As to follow-up the huge success of PCD (Pussycat Dolls debut album), Doll Domination is consider performing slightly below the average or rather disappointing to me. None single manage to crack the top 3 spots on Billboard, however, consider fares better in countries outside U.S.
The gals had all the talents they can get, with big budget supports and yet the album had not make a splash yet. To my despair, the records also break up Nicole's solo album to give ways (songs) to this second album of the dolls. Putting about 20 tracks, sounds a good bargain, but its all too distracted. Mosts tracks on the album doesn't focus on relevent topic to the girls, which create it difficult to connect to the public.
The choice of releasing "When I Grow Up" as lead single, was already a good step. Despite of spending a lot on promoting the second single "Whatcha Think About That”, it gone to waste. They made a good move for putting "I Hate This Part" ahead, worldwidely. As "I Hate This Part" was muchly being compared with J.J. Lin,Asia artist's "Won't Trendy Won't Cost" as suspiciously of being copied, had raise both songs much awareness and causing both version a success in its own territories.

The main attraction comes from the dolls' music videos, visually attracted, therefore a series of music videos are essentials steps to promote them. Each singles released are not at the right timing. However, it seems a better approach in UK, while each singles won't separate for too long. Maybe the dolls could try throwing 2 singles at each months as the non-singles tracks like "Hush, Hush", "Out Of This Club" gaining more attention than those used in the singles.

When the world is concentrating on which singles of PCD to look for, seems a lost of focus is done. While heavy promo is given to "I Hate This Part" & "Whatcha Think About That", other non-related singles like "Top Of The World", "Jai Ho", "Bad Girl" comes interupting and the audience is spread out. 2 to 3 singles might be okay but seems about 4 to 5 singles are fighting for attentions really clouded the focus. To make things worst, with "Bottle Pop" being sent out to Oceanic region as the next potential single that soon further distract it.
Personal favourite would loves a promotional single of "Perhaps Perhaps" as an answer to "Sway".
Did ask a fans of Pussycat Dolls, and I got a doubt as he think Pussycat doll got a new complilation out with new tracks. I presume he saw it in the pirate CDs. So to get back from the DOOM to DOM-ination, the ride on Jai Ho, the tour and the release of the Doll Domination 2.0 are hope to save the album before ending it with disappointments.
The re-release would includes new singles of "Jai Ho", "Top of The World", "Hush, Hush(I Will Survive)", and a brand new track "Painted Windows". Would be better if it comes with a bonus dvds, however its unknown yet.........
