PerfectCure Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Both the Pussycat Dolls and Hilary Duff are seemingly retired musically, but you never know. Both acts also had similar trajectories in their careers. First, their debut albums in the early 2000s spawned their biggest hits. Arguably for the PCD are Don't Cha and Buttons, both which come from their self-titled debut, and in Hilary's case, Come Clean. Both released a trendy pop album in the late 2000s, supposedly right after their peaks as an attempt to regain momentum. Ultimately, years after their 2000s records and after everyone thought they had retired, both tried to resurrect their careers in the 2010s. Sadly, the attempt to get a proper comeback backfired, and only one even managed to put out an album. Now, with everyone and their mothers being suckers for nostalgia, and with Doja Cat singing 'Come Clean' at her concerts, who do you think has a better hypothetical chance at a comeback hit, ATRL?

Stepfon Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Hilary actually released an album, still debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 with Sparks flopping and the promotion being half assed. But I don't think her heart is into music at all now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, and it's even funnier when you think she's married (?) to a music producer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M!X Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 what is this RANDOM comparison omg I like Hilary but come on PCD era was iconic and GP actually stanned their singles, Hilary was like a teen-driven act, I do not see her being relevant like that again, PCD honestly could pull of a smash single or two 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 If Hilary returns, I want her to make music that's reminiscent to her earlier works. Everything she did in the early 2000s became timeless: Fly, So Yesterday, Come Clean, Wake Up, What Dreams Are Made Of, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Duff Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 None. I would love to hear some standalone singles though, here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I have nothing to add regarding this topic but just want to add my two cents about Hilary. I personally believe Hilary enjoys making music and always saw her rebranding herself as an American Kylie Minogue. However, I think she has industry insecurities that hold her back, such as label contracts, heavy promotion that keeps her away from home, and modern music gimmicks. Hilary just needs the right single for a decent comeback. People love her and would support her. Unfortunately, during the BIBO era, Chasing the Sun killed the hype, and when she picked up traction again with Sparks, she released a Tinder commercial as the video. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems traumatized from the amount of work, touring and label control that happened during her active years in music. It's sad because she was so young back then. If Hilary focuses on making quality dance-driven songs, I can see her scoring a niche following. Matthew has a background in EDM so he can definitely help her out, and she should feel more confident around him. I just don't know if she's interested at all anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why Melody, Ashley and Kim still like her posts and Melody even posts IG stories praising her. The only ones that dislike Nicole are Robin (because Nicole stood up to her) and the right-wing anti-vax nutcase. Robin is the only who's been exposed for her shady deals that exploit her employees (including OCD) so it's weird that you'd think Nicole is the "nasty" one of the bunch.

I was activated by someone coming for Hilary lol tbh you're right I just forgot, love Nicole's solo stuff too she deserved more love! Jlo she is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alldeezy Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I'd love if both did .. but probably Hilary since Nicole and PCD tried to but then covid happened and other stuff. While Hilary is a solo artist can drop something if she felt like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashe Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 PCD actually served top-tier pop independently by releasing React. It was obviously just a quick cash-grab to go with the UK tour, but had they been on a major label and if Covid didn't delay stuff, they most likely would still be around Robin and Nicole sued the hell out of each other, so it's probably not happening anymore anyway....

Batsy Armada Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I could definitely see Hilary having an itch to record and release music again, having a successful musical comeback. I could see her having a career similar to Sheryl Crow after having a comeback, being a household name for adult contemporary enthusiasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
