The Pussycat Dolls

Pop dance ensemble

The Pussycat Dolls are an American pop group formed in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, known for dance-heavy performances and hits like "Don't Cha" and "Buttons." The group originated as a burlesque troupe before transitioning to a recording act.

Lead singer Nicole Scherzinger dominated vocals while other members contributed backup and choreography—a structure that generated tension and lineup changes.
