Girlicious

上世紀(jì)九十年代，舞蹈指導(dǎo) Robin Antin 創(chuàng)立了性感小野貓組合。起初只是在好萊塢的夜總會(huì)表演，其后迅速走紅，成為熱門的女子流行組合。專輯銷量超過(guò)700萬(wàn)張，在各大排行榜名列前茅。Antin去年做了真人秀Search For The Next Doll, 成功為PCD找到了一位新成員。今年又推出了一個(gè)新的選秀節(jié)目Girlicious，希望在眾多女生中找到人組成新的組合"Girlicious". Antin聯(lián)同Geffen唱片公司的主席Ron Fair發(fā)起全美海選，尋找唱功舞姿出眾、有巨星魅力的天才女孩。數(shù)千名女孩報(bào)名，祈求能在最后三強(qiáng)中占一席之地。她們履歷出眾，都是出色的歌手、舞蹈演員，15個(gè)參賽者最終入圍，有機(jī)會(huì)從寂寂無(wú)名的鄰家女孩變成國(guó)際巨星。 歌手Mark McGrath是客席評(píng)判。每周參賽者們將和Robin Antin、性感小野貓的舞蹈指導(dǎo)Mikey Minden一起磨練唱功、舞技。還在明星Kenn Hicks的指導(dǎo)下練習(xí)聲樂(lè)技巧。Kenn Hicks曾指導(dǎo)過(guò)Jennifer Lopez、 Mary J. Blige和Spice Girls。除了這些極具經(jīng)驗(yàn)的專業(yè)人物之外，性感小野貓的成員和其他意想不到的嘉賓都將在節(jié)目中陸續(xù)出現(xiàn)，啟發(fā)參賽者善用才華去打動(dòng)評(píng)判。評(píng)判包括Geffen唱片公司主席Ron Fair，Robin Antin和曾獲格萊美提名的Lil' Kim。 本次節(jié)目共有十集，在節(jié)目尾段，勝出者組成三人女子組合Girlicious，并立即投入到錄制唱片、拍攝音樂(lè)錄影帶等工作中，和Nelly Furtado、Mary J. Blige、Keisha Cole等大明星同臺(tái)演出，贏得Geffen唱片公司的合約。Mark McGrath是該節(jié)目的司儀，介紹參賽者和比賽流程.每場(chǎng)比賽參賽者需在臺(tái)上展示自己的唱功和舞技。三名評(píng)委會(huì)閉門討論參賽者的舞臺(tái)表現(xiàn)，達(dá)成共識(shí)后，由Antin宣布誰(shuí)將被淘汰。 Following in the wake of the multi-platinum girl group Pussycat Dolls came Girlicious, a pop quartet whose music was also rooted in sexually charged slick R&B/pop. The group consists of Nichole Cordova, Tiffanie Anderson, Chrystina Sayers, and Natalie Mejia, and was formed in 2008 by Robin Antin, creator and founder of the Pussycat Dolls. In order to capitalize on the success that her first pop group had achieved across the globe, Antin produced a reality television program to search for the next pop sensation. After thousands auditioned with hopes and dreams of being part of the next "it" group, Antin selected 15 participants who would compete in a program called Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious. The contestants performed rigorous dance routines and delivered group and solo vocal performances as the judges on the show eliminated the competitors, until there were only four left. In the finale, Antin had planned to eliminate one more contestant to achieve her desired group; however, at the last minute she decided that Girlicious should operate as a foursome rather than a trio — thus, Cordova, Anderson, Sayers and Mejia all made the cut. Immediately after the public discovered who was going to be in the group, the quartet dropped a digital EP, entitled Like Me/Stupid S**t. The EP was a huge success in digital media outlets such as iTunes, and "Like Me" became particularly successful in Canada, hitting number one in video rotations and number four on the Canadian Hot 100. The song also charted on the Billboard Pop 100, mostly because of digital downloads. Their self-titled debut album was slated for release in July 2008, and they agreed to tour with the Backstreet Boys for their Unbreakable Tour that same summer, promoting the album. 更多>>
