Asia wins the Search for the Next Pussycat Doll

It was a long-awaited victory for Asia, the fierce 18 year old New Yorker as she was crowned the newest member of the highly popular burlesque inspired singing group 'The Pussycat Dolls' last night. The TV show began about 3 months ago in hoped of finding a woman suitable to become the newest member of the hit group. Millions of girls auditioned before the field was narrowed down to the final 9 who would be competing for the title. The nine girls would perform dance routines and sing (either in a group or solo) to show off their talents as overall performers. The group was quickly narrowed, with one girl leaving each week. Finally, by last night's finale episode, the field was narrowed down to three girls, Asia (18) the outspoken single mother from New York, Melissa R (18) the fierce performer from California and Chelsea (20) the underdog from Florida.

                   

        Chelsea                                    Asia                                  Melissa R

The three girls worked together to perform the hit song 'Lady Marmalade" just before singing their solo performances. Afterwards, the judges discussed the 3 remaining contestants before deciding who would become the newest member of the group. Needless to say, Asia was crowned the winner (although we were hoping for either of the other two from the remaining three).

Congratulations to Asia, the 18 year old single mother. Although it does seem as though becoming the newest member of a hit group like The Pussycat Dolls and being an 18 year old full-time single mom may be a lot to handle. Hopefully Asia didn't get in over her head.

What difference does being a single mother make?  I'm so sick of people acting as if it's a disease.  Asia, unfortunately, is the rule and not the exception.  There are plenty of single mothers working outside the home.  (maybe not to the extent of world tours, promos, etc...but still managing)  Give her a break, the other two didn't cut it.  And obviously, the creator of the PCD agreed.  She was the ultimate decision maker, and not judgmental, opinionated people like yourself. (I don't know who the "we" is you referred to in your article, but "I" have been rooting for Asia from the beginning and was ecstatic when she won) Your not so heartfelt congratulations at the end of the article could have been left unsaid.  And by the way...I am not a single mother, I have been married 15 years and have a 9 yr old child.  (Just in case you're wondering)

Melissa R. did the best. I was hoping for her.  I hope Melissa will go on to have a singing career.  I wonder if Asia's temper and attitude will stand her in good stead in a group where she's the low man on the totem pole.

Chelsea - my number one pick, the judges said she's a good dancer and she picks up on things quickly, not to mention her having the best vocals there.

Melissa R - number two pick, she was a pretty good singer and dancer though not as strong a singer as Chelsea.

Asia - she'll make the perfect back up singer that's all she really is. I hate that she won she sucks at singing, not to mention she doesn't take direction well which Ron Fair will find out for himself.. when your told your fake singing and to stop the theatrics, it doesn't mean to continue doing it. My mom was a teen mom, she was able to raise my brother and work but like she said what's Asia gonna do with her baby she'll be on the road more then at home. Her mom will raise her, when she sees her daughter and mom have a better bond she'll be resentful.. anyone would be. She's a diva, and that'll put a negative spin on the groups reputation. They're sales will drop really low theres already hundreds of people not wanting to buy the next cd, etc.

But honestly as much as i hate that she won, i'm happy too.

Most runners up are more successful anyway, and Chelsea and Melisa R are better off solo where they can shine and not have to be in the background, Chelsea especially

I don't think anyone was, but thanks.

ANYWAY - I really liked Melissa R, but Asia was awesome, too. I think she had the sexy thing over Melissa R, who was so uncomfortable about being portrayed as sexy through the whole show.

I adored Chelsea, but yeah, with her lack of dancing skills, there was NO WAY she was going to win.

Great voice, though.

Asia was mean selfish and acted like a spoilt baby, so what if she's a single mum, like she's the only one in the world. She couldnt sing at all and her temper was nasty. " I fought alot in school, I went to court for it" like it's something to be proud of. She is an embarassment and a drama queen. What kind of a lady or role model will she be, honestly, she;'s got no class and she @%&* ugly. And all the idiots out there that are like oh go girlfriend, be serious for once, here's real honesty for you, get your teeth fixed because its digusting to see you smile and you cant sing 4 @#$%.... I bet nearly all of you's were thinking it:)  

Good luck as a back up dancer Asia, im sure thats all you'll ever be.
