They're both generally good singers, but Nicole is clearly more stable/better. Melody's voice is pretty and has a great range but she has very little control and she sounds like she's straining her voice a LOT the higher she goes. Nicole's voice is so stable and controlled, not just expansive. She has so much discipline with her tMone, she's consistently supported and doesn't go into the screaming melody does sometimes. Comparing them might not be fair because, Melody might have a great voice and tone but it doesn't compare to Nicole's in addition to her stability, support, and control
They both screamed sometimes. Nicole didn’t have the stamina to sing while dancing and Melody didn’t have the discipline in general. They could have been a great team with better management and better training as a team.
melody needed training, a good vocal coach. yes, she was kinda screaming bcs she was way to pushy with her voice! But this girl has a lot of potential and if she had training it would have been even better than nicole
Oh, and Nicole still had more range than Melody even before she got training, back in the Eden's Crush days. She had a belted A5 and in head voice a G6. Face it, Melody just doesn't have it like that.
I definitely agree. If Melody had a good vocal coach she could have been better than Nicole. But I think Nicole has a more pop star voice and Melody is a more R&B soul not pop.
Would've could've... Maybe yes, maybe no, nobody knows that. But fuck what could have been! As it is: Nicole is just leagues above her in terms of vocal technique
Melody sounds terrible above D5. Her voice gets so thin and squeaky and she looks and sounds like she's in pain. Nicole was definitely the rightful lead vocalist of the group.
Wait, there are really people that believe this Melody chick is the better singer? She sounds awful. Maybe she'd be okay if she didn't try to go all big and extra with her vocals. Honey, you might think you sound good doing your best Christina impersonation in the shower with those fine acoustics, but that doesn't mean it's okay to bring that mess up on stage when you sound like an ailing cat. 3:25 ... yikes. Such a horrible sound. No wonder Nicole was always so visibly irritated whenever Melody would try to diva it up with her voice in PCD's live performances. People assumed it was out of jealousy, but there isn't a single note Melody can hit that Nicole couldn't do a hundred times better. Nicole just wasn't going to start singing the hell out of a song like "Buttons" by going for random high notes and vocal runs like it's a song that's meant to showcase vocal ability lol.
Nicole is the better singer without a doubt. When she sang “ Phantom of the Opera ”... and “ Don't Cry For Me Argentina ”... That proved it all. Bloody fantastic!
Absolutely, she has demonstrated a much fuller range away from the dolls, melody is very good but often over sells and in all honesty I think is off note at times
Melody has an interesting tone but she has to learn a better tecnique and a better control of her voice. Nicole its a better singer not only for he incredible tecnique and control, she has power, range, ressonance, tecnique in a lot of generes. Nicole its vocal lengend.
Damn, Melody has a great instrument, but it seems like she has an ear problem and goes off key like every 5 seconds. It's hard to listen to her failing at every single note in her vocal runs. Such a shame because her voice is actually beautiful and girly (it's like Ashanti or Mya were trying to sing Whitney Houston or Christina). Nicole on the other hand is like perfect (although she lowers her larinx a little to create a deeper sound), her phantom of the opera took my wig to Mars
Melody has a great voice and in this video you can hear that she's out of her range the more as it ascends...I think she thinks that "the higher I sing, the better I sing"...Nicole has a natural Soprano voice...so her upper register is easier for her to reach
They are both good. Melody kinda reminds me of a young Christina Aguilera. Nicole is able to add so much distortion to her voice. Melody tries to add some distortion, sometimes she “growls” and it doesn’t sound that nice. Some of Melodys notes are actually pretty good, but all Nicole’s notes are good here. Of course it’s possible to find other clips where Melody will sound better then Nicole, so it’s really a personal preference. I can easy find some clips of Nicole I don’t like. Nicole has a higher range, I don’t know who I think is the. Best. They are both good in their own way. And both deserves to sing lead
Thanks for watching and commenting, Frederik! I think Melody has a similar belting range to Christina, and can sound a bit like her with some of her vocal run stylings, but their tones are very different. Christina's was richer and deeper even in her younger days, and she had a lot more control of her pitch than Melody does. Also, there aren't as many clips of Melody singing all these notes as there are of Nicole, so it was harder to narrow down my choices for Nicole. For example, if you notice, I didn't showcase as many clips of them in head voice since Melody has only hit most of those notes once or twice. So I simply chose the best available for her.
@@frederiksteffensen8699 Thank you! I definitely put in the work in my search for Melody's notes, because she didn't have a whole lot of singing moments with PCD.
3:01, I don't know what's more cringey, the vocals or that ridiculous flip she did with her ponytail after she squealed out that last note. Wow. She really thought she tore it up, huh??
No offense but how could there ever be the question, it's very obvious that Nicole has much more control over her instrument. Being a good singer is not about having a better tone, because that is highly subjective. I could prefer Bob Dylan's voice over Dimash, but Dimash would still be an infinitely better singer. So in terms of pure vocal ability: Nicole all the way. Better control over dynamics, better control over texture, can add distortion to her voice wdithout straining, more range, actually more ease in the very high part of her voice, which is especially telling because Melody has naturally higher voice and should have more ease in her high range. Better sense of pitch (shown on many occasions where the dolls did some improvising) Better breath control.
Melody now finally found her right genre and aesthetic, and I'm surprised how much she sounds stable now! All she needed was some time for improvement. And yes she definitely was not for pop songs and that's fine.
Nicole is so perfect. She got the voice, good dancer, sexy slim body and a beautiful face to match. Melody doesn't sing. She just screaming. She sound so aweful like a dying poodle that just got hit by a car. Melody has a big ass looking head and look kinda like a man in drag. Lol
I think both are great singers! However, I am no expert, but I think Nicole’s voice is more versatile while Melody sounds a little bit like screaming, except the last part of the video, where both impressed me so much! (Btw sweet clip the last one) All in all, both are great but my vote goes to Nicole
Both Nicole and Melody were best. They had their unique voices. I love to listen Melody's ad libs but however I prefer Nicole voice as it sound more matured. That's just my opinion.
Nicole is the winner here ! Nicole has the “ COMPLETE package” & a Superb PERFORMER in whatever she makes it. she Has excellent versatile Sexy voice that captures the audience attention w/ her great moves that nails it all the time!!! That makes her reach millions of views while Melody’s has good voice but can hardly get my attention while watching her videos. It’s kinda boring, while Nicole has definitely power, fun & sexy hype! I guess that makes Nicole get Countless 100% Audience Impact... she’s definitely a true Diva! ❤️👍👏
My problem with Melody: Too many runs when she is supposed to sustain a straight long note. Runs are great but it seems she can do runs and nothing more. I love the fact that she's an enormous fan of Xtina but it seems that she imitates the latter too much. We already have one Xtina. Having an unique distinctive singing style and tone is another fundamental aspect regardless of one's singing abilities. Nicole is a prodigious singer with all honesty, she's the best. Her tone isn't the most distinctive ever generally but she sounds quite recognizable and definitely the most unique voice in the group too.
The thing is with them runs. She never got any vocal training while in PCD. Second thing she had to fight for every second to sing which is quite frustrating for a singer. Note the fact she had to do the choreogeaphy too and do those runs. The fact she could have pulled that off with 0 traing and 0 dancing talent shows that she's extremely talented person. Ordinary person cannot execute such runs even if they aren't perfect. Technically she'll never get on Nicole's level, too much time wasted. Instead of using her wisely in a group giving her solos which would definitely benefit the group Robin Antin chose to exploit this girl to the fullest.
Nicole is enough loon to imitate Britney forcing on the notes , i think I did it agAIAIN and she yell useless. However Melody sing prodigiously whitout forcing .
Christina Aguilera sings way better very beautiful voice then melody , seems she's screaming not signing comes from her throat not gut in some of her songs
Nicole sound like she screaming too half the time so even though I've heard her times when she doesn't idk and melody has amazing moments too so idk and melody is soul Nicole is classically trained Nicole can't run like melody I don't believe either so apples and oranges but yeah you can hear the xtina influence heavily but all your artists have been influenced when lady Gaga first came out she honestly sounded like a low rate Christina she didn't even have melody's range but she came into her own sound from there so sometimes it takes singers awhile to find their sound / image even if they are good.
Nicole is the definition of fierce. She looks fierce, her vocals are fierce, the way she commands a stage is fierce, etc. Melody and her shrill little "kitten trying to be a tiger" voice could never. The girl has always been remarkably overrated by the PCD fan base, and I still can't figure out why. I think perhaps it's just because it's in the average person's nature to invariably root for the underdog, regardless of if they're the best or not.
Nicole never even popped people sti don't even know how to say her last name she was given way more opportunity and still flopped hard so to me that's a bigger failure
@@makoexhaultll4531 I agree. Melody was the only teen at the time of the start of the actual group. With Nicole being the last member to join. I’ll give Nicole credit where it’s due, but let’s not pretend she was the only capable singer. Especially against the least experienced Melody.
I feel like if they took half as much time helping Melody to develop her technique, she would’ve been able to compete with Nicole. She had raw talent, it just needed polishing.
Melody wants to show a super powerful and controlled voice which she has not! Why not to pit attention in being a good singer, and no that much if you cant? By the way.... Nicole is a beast! She can hit every note! Powerful, sustained and controlled (controlled melody 🤷🏻♂️)
Melody gets such a bad rap because of a few admittedly awful live moments from 10/15 years ago when she was about 19 years old. Nicole was a professional singer for years before PCD and musical theatre performer since she was young, its so unfair to compare them during PCD. Melody has something special she just wasn't ready to be in the group even by the time of Doll Domination, I think shes only come into her own as a vocalist in the last few years. Listen to her EP Lioness Eyes and you'll see what I mean.
Her fans were talking like she was Whitney Houston even while in PCD, so this video was definitely fair. Some of these clips were actually from after PCD though, when she got her vocal training.
Melody only sounds like she's "screaming" cuz that's just her voice. Nicole is more grounded with her singing ability as she has that deeper voice. I really don't think its that fair to compare them. Melody can't help it. And everyone knows Nicole takes the cake. But they both can really sing. So whenever I see them together, I don't hear separate voices I just hear them together as a band. Thats besides the video tho. I actually think its interesting to hear them sing high keys side by side. I only commented cuz the other comments about screaming haha
I think melody can sing better than Nicole, I think Nicole got more training along the way. I don’t think she was halfway as good then as she is now. It’s an improvement
Nicole is the all around better developed and bigger voice. Melody thinks her voice is bigger than it is and relies to much on the same repetitive runs that are not even executed well. Melody refers to herself as vocalist which she isn’t. But she has a cute tone when she doesn’t push herself which is rare.
THEY BOTH HAVE REALLY AWESOME VOICE'S TO ME.. NICOLE IS OLDER..AND HAS MORE EXPERIENCE..THAT'S OBVIOUS..MELODY THORNTON..GOT THE GOODS BUT OVER TIME..HER NOTES WILL ALSO BECOME MORE COMFORTABLE AND EFFORTLESS AS WELL WITH PROPPER TRAINING AND CONSISTENCY..BUT ANY WAY THIS WAS REALLY COOL..THX FOR THIS❤️🌹👈😌
Nicole is way better. Her technique is on point. Melody seems as if she needs some training on how to mix her head voice with her belts. She gets too excited and loses herself in the singing we know why. But she needs training. And she also needs to stop trying to sound like xtina. It's not helping her voice. She would have a voice similar to leona lewis I think. And I know Melody's story and I don't think it was correct what happened! But I think that Nicole is way above her vocally and her technique is perfect. Where melodys isn't
Thank you for this video! Would you be able to provide the link for the last clip shown? I haven’t been able to find it in ages. Also, Nicole had some incredible notes in her rendition of the National Anthem at the Dodgers’/Yankees’ game (link below). m.ua-cam.com/video/b0pIdj0aJZ4/v-deo.html
Sorry, just saw this!! Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/91QCK-E9auc/v-deo.html and yes, I LOVED that performance! I wish there was a better quality recording of it available. :( Nobody capped it in HQ?
@@toni5493 Yes, it was D5 in that video! I edited my comment, because at first I thought you were referring to the performance she did at the World Series just this past year until I clicked on the link lol.
both aren't vocally the same since nicole is a lyric-soprano vocal range with 4 octaves while melody is a soprano/mezza soprano. i dont think melody has been vocally trained like nicole has either.
I made the video since they're constantly compared and subject to relentless debate over which one is the better singer. Melody received classical training back in 2011 to prepare for the show "From Popstar to Operastar" that she appeared in. Many of the clips in this video are from around and after that time. She was classified as a mezzo soprano on the show, and sang all mezzo pieces. She's proof that you can't always accurately classify voices according to how they sound when singing pop music. Her timbre in opera/classical music is vastly different than it is in pop. Her falsetto sounds nothing like her connected head voice. Also, Nicole didn't have any training back when she was with Eden's Crush, and still she was executing sharp, well-controlled vocal runs, belting out Bb5s, and showcasing considerable agility in the whistle register.
@@xtinafan06 nicole was trained before edens crush while melody wasn't before pcd. my point they are vastly different vocalists and shouldn't be compared but i know people do it because melody deserved better while in pcd.
No. Nicole had no training prior to Eden's Crush. Her family was very poor and they couldn't afford to get her vocal or dance lessons. She didn't start training until after the group disbanded.
@@xtinafan06 well there is video of her life and she says she got it through school even since there is video of her singing way to well for someone without training.
Ah, I thought you meant actual formalized professional vocal training. I mean, anyone that takes chorus in school receives that same basic level of "training" if you want to call it that, but they just kind of skim the surface, it's not very in depth at all. Can't compare it to classical training, that's for sure.
No compare who is the best...coz they both good...only we want one by one talents who they r dance/sing by herself n unite on stage ... one by one enter sing or dance by herself before they became PCD in concert for reunion... on concert only ....coz my wish s to see n heard them on concert one by one before they all complete n pcd....I'm not wishing I see them n live but here in UA-cam coz I'm not rich to go n watch...maybe some of their fans wishing them one by one enter on stage for their talents before unite...coz that's a 😍😍😍...no one is bad talent...they hide coz unite but not break now they break it's n see how they r great so give them one by one enter n see how r they❤
To much yelling... hate to hear a screaming match between these 2 ... both have good voices, I do wish that Melody song more of the verses. Hearing Melody lead "Buttons" was amazing, it songs like she should have lead that song.
Yes she great singer too melody but she wasnt ment to do that if she wanted to have more orbe lead singer she should of did it er self not take over nicole s a singing was wrong they was her dancer and bk singers ..she was trying to get her it in there but behind there bks andwas wrong in my eyes... still nicole better
With Nicole being lead it’s actually well disrespectful of melody to keep show casing her shout of a belt. I could hear where it would put Nicole off because of how off key melody is.
Melody can do stuff but she lacks in control and musicality. She does riffs whenever she wants to not because the song needs it. She needs a little guidance where she can shine
They're both generally good singers, but Nicole is clearly more stable/better. Melody's voice is pretty and has a great range but she has very little control and she sounds like she's straining her voice a LOT the higher she goes. Nicole's voice is so stable and controlled, not just expansive. She has so much discipline with her tMone, she's consistently supported and doesn't go into the screaming melody does sometimes. Comparing them might not be fair because, Melody might have a great voice and tone but it doesn't compare to Nicole's in addition to her stability, support, and control
Spot on
Nicole is from Edens Crush, Nicole is much older than Melody and have years more of professional experience.
Nicole has great range she can literally sing opera
Melody isn’t as good as she thinks she is.
@@tajsimms8976Melody too can do opera 😅 At the end of the vid, with opera parts, u see Melody is as good as Nicole when she has the good technic !
i actually really love Melody’s voice.. However Nicole can do whistle notes perfectly..
They both screamed sometimes. Nicole didn’t have the stamina to sing while dancing and Melody didn’t have the discipline in general. They could have been a great team with better management and better training as a team.
It isn't even close. Nicole has so much more control and better tone.
Both top tier vocalists in my opinion
Nicole for control
Melody for soul and vibrato
melody needed training, a good vocal coach. yes, she was kinda screaming bcs she was way to pushy with her voice! But this girl has a lot of potential and if she had training it would have been even better than nicole
Yeah, no. She already had training after the group disbanded. She still doesn't have Nicole's range and never will.
Oh, and Nicole still had more range than Melody even before she got training, back in the Eden's Crush days. She had a belted A5 and in head voice a G6. Face it, Melody just doesn't have it like that.
@@brianmelnick1117 nicole is classically trained anyways lol.
I definitely agree. If Melody had a good vocal coach she could have been better than Nicole. But I think Nicole has a more pop star voice and Melody is a more R&B soul not pop.
Would've could've... Maybe yes, maybe no, nobody knows that.
But fuck what could have been! As it is: Nicole is just leagues above her in terms of vocal technique
Melody don't know how to control her voice..specially when she hit high notes. It sounds like she's shouting not producing notes.
she had no time to show her CONTROLLED voice in this group :D
True but she got the voice she need to take lessons and she'll be great
This is why she has her own and not Nicole. People keep saying that, but looked what she has gained. The only solo success from the PCD.
Exactly!
And always too many runs going on when she perform ...... I mean if 5runs enough , she will do 20 ......
Melody sounds terrible above D5. Her voice gets so thin and squeaky and she looks and sounds like she's in pain. Nicole was definitely the rightful lead vocalist of the group.

Subjective Nicole goes flat very often
Melodys only set back is the way she pukes vocal runs
Nicole clearly is the better vocalist between the two.
Hahahahahahahahaha
In your dream?
Why are the 2 Ladies of color going at each other. Melody and Nicole see what's up...They know what's up...
Looool, Nicole better vocalist ?!!!! ! It's somuch headaches , she should better shut her mouth 😁😂

That's why Melody has her own music unlike Nicole.
What are you talking about? Nicole has her own music
@@will952 yes, but it didn't get anywhere. That why she got back on tour, unlike M.

@@hirotadashi-hamada7312 That was not a bow, Idk wtf it was to be quite honest, but it sure as hell was embarrassing.

This is a Beyoncé and Kelly situation! Sadly, Kelly (Melody) the better vocalist doesn’t get the attention she deserve
Melody has the most annoying vibrato ever

Melody has a medium-sized voice, actually. Definitely not a big voice. That's why it's so squeaky and thin.

By the way.... Nicole is a beast! She can hit every note! Powerful, sustained and controlled (controlled melody 🤷🏻♂️)
Melody gets such a bad rap because of a few admittedly awful live moments from 10/15 years ago when she was about 19 years old. Nicole was a professional singer for years before PCD and musical theatre performer since she was young, its so unfair to compare them during PCD. Melody has something special she just wasn't ready to be in the group even by the time of Doll Domination, I think shes only come into her own as a vocalist in the last few years. Listen to her EP Lioness Eyes and you'll see what I mean.
Her fans were talking like she was Whitney Houston even while in PCD, so this video was definitely fair. Some of these clips were actually from after PCD though, when she got her vocal training.
nicole 100%
Nicole is a million time better
Btw Melody has hit notes higher than Eb6 she posted on her IG story her hitting a G#6 Whistle note in a performance of "Best of my love "
I don't follow her on Instagram. Can you link me?
@@xtinafan06 I screen recorded it on my phone.

@@islandlife89 Thanks so much! I'd never seen that before! Definitely some potential in the way she executed that note!
Nicole all the way melody forced
A deaf person knows who is the better one.
Wow they are both really good. I didn't realize their group had two singers as good as they are
Nicole as always 🙌🏻 she’s the bomb.
Melody has a beautiful and strong voice but Nicole sounds classier
Quality - Nicole
Technique - Melody
You’re definitely crazy if you think Melody got better technique than Nicole or good technique at all.
Nicole is the best!!! Nicole is wonderful and beautiful!!! The best singer!
Your opinion
Melody is not singing, she's screaming...hahaha!
Nicole is a better singer.
Nicole had better control of a vocal range
Melody only sounds like she's "screaming" cuz that's just her voice. Nicole is more grounded with her singing ability as she has that deeper voice. I really don't think its that fair to compare them. Melody can't help it. And everyone knows Nicole takes the cake. But they both can really sing. So whenever I see them together, I don't hear separate voices I just hear them together as a band. Thats besides the video tho. I actually think its interesting to hear them sing high keys side by side. I only commented cuz the other comments about screaming haha
Nicole's voice isn't deeper, it's just less squeaky. Melody's gets extremely shrill.
If melody had a nice vocal lesson for like 2 year she would lol
More than 2 years love
Bubble Boo 2 year is enough love dont be mean
I think melody can sing better than Nicole, I think Nicole got more training along the way. I don’t think she was halfway as good then as she is now. It’s an improvement
Then why doesn't she sing better?
And wow does it work, how many millions has she sold..Pure talent:!
Nicole is the winner here,and everywhere, forever
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment your thoughts!
@@xtinafan06 You're welcome 😊
Nicole your the one as always
Nicole does it effortlessly
Nicole is the all around better developed and bigger voice. Melody thinks her voice is bigger than it is and relies to much on the same repetitive runs that are not even executed well. Melody refers to herself as vocalist which she isn’t. But she has a cute tone when she doesn’t push herself which is rare.
Nicole Scherzinger sings better than Adele!
Nicole
NICOLE CAN VARIATE AND SOUNDS GREAT ON EVERY TONE AND LEVEL. MELODY HAS ONE SOUND ONLY. MELODY JEALOUS OF
SCHERZINGER.
melody: scream
nicole: sing
Lol your opinion
@@MultiChelchel no, fact
THEY BOTH HAVE REALLY AWESOME VOICE'S TO ME.. NICOLE IS OLDER..AND HAS MORE EXPERIENCE..THAT'S OBVIOUS..MELODY THORNTON..GOT THE GOODS BUT OVER TIME..HER NOTES WILL ALSO BECOME MORE COMFORTABLE AND EFFORTLESS AS WELL WITH PROPPER TRAINING AND CONSISTENCY..BUT ANY WAY THIS WAS REALLY COOL..THX FOR THIS❤️🌹👈😌
Melody can't control her voice she reminds me of Christian... Nicole is powerful and different
Nicole is a star, melody can sing, sure, but she doesn't cut ot as a performer
Melody was desperate to get vocal leads
Melody is screaming not singing
Nicole is way better. Her technique is on point. Melody seems as if she needs some training on how to mix her head voice with her belts. She gets too excited and loses herself in the singing we know why. But she needs training. And she also needs to stop trying to sound like xtina. It's not helping her voice. She would have a voice similar to leona lewis I think. And I know Melody's story and I don't think it was correct what happened! But I think that Nicole is way above her vocally and her technique is perfect. Where melodys isn't
watch Melody's performance on the Masked Singer , she slayeed
Melody She sing like christina aguilera
Melody has such beautiful range and there is such a freshness
Everybody needs to listen to Melody’s news album ! She improved so much
Thank you for this video! Would you be able to provide the link for the last clip shown? I haven’t been able to find it in ages. Also, Nicole had some incredible notes in her rendition of the National Anthem at the Dodgers’/Yankees’ game (link below).

Sorry, just saw this!! Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/91QCK-E9auc/v-deo.html
and yes, I LOVED that performance! I wish there was a better quality recording of it available. :( Nobody capped it in HQ?
xtinafan06 xtinafan06 No worries, thank you so much!! I thought the “GLAAAARE” was D5 😫🙊 but regardless, I loved it as well!
@@toni5493 Yes, it was D5 in that video! I edited my comment, because at first I thought you were referring to the performance she did at the World Series just this past year until I clicked on the link lol.
xtinafan06 Lol!! Gotcha 🧚🏽♀️❤️ Was the World Series indeed a C#5? I thought it was C5 😫
@@toni5493 Yes, the "REDDDD GLAAAAAAAAAARE" was C#5, so just a semitone higher than C5. Still close! :D
Melody live tends to sometimes scream and be pitchy. Does anybody know if she trains with vocal coaches?
No it doesn't sound like she has
I’m totally disagree with you
Nicole sounds more trained
N I C O L E . . .
both aren't vocally the same since nicole is a lyric-soprano vocal range with 4 octaves while melody is a soprano/mezza soprano. i dont think melody has been vocally trained like nicole has either.
I made the video since they're constantly compared and subject to relentless debate over which one is the better singer. Melody received classical training back in 2011 to prepare for the show "From Popstar to Operastar" that she appeared in. Many of the clips in this video are from around and after that time. She was classified as a mezzo soprano on the show, and sang all mezzo pieces. She's proof that you can't always accurately classify voices according to how they sound when singing pop music. Her timbre in opera/classical music is vastly different than it is in pop. Her falsetto sounds nothing like her connected head voice. Also, Nicole didn't have any training back when she was with Eden's Crush, and still she was executing sharp, well-controlled vocal runs, belting out Bb5s, and showcasing considerable agility in the whistle register.
@@xtinafan06 nicole was trained before edens crush while melody wasn't before pcd. my point they are vastly different vocalists and shouldn't be compared but i know people do it because melody deserved better while in pcd.
No. Nicole had no training prior to Eden's Crush. Her family was very poor and they couldn't afford to get her vocal or dance lessons. She didn't start training until after the group disbanded.
@@xtinafan06 well there is video of her life and she says she got it through school even since there is video of her singing way to well for someone without training.
Ah, I thought you meant actual formalized professional vocal training. I mean, anyone that takes chorus in school receives that same basic level of "training" if you want to call it that, but they just kind of skim the surface, it's not very in depth at all. Can't compare it to classical training, that's for sure.
Absolutely Nicole better then drama little Queen ,Nothing wondering n doubt
Melody is an decent singer but is nothing compared to Nicole
Melody singing the national anthem hurts my ears.
Nicole got everything basically and that's why she's the lead singer of pussycatdollr. The producer knew about this
Lol damn I love melody over Nicole and I want her to win but watching this video.. she is screaming... 🤭
Lies.... That girl singing!
Both women are amazing singers . Nicole's voice is more feminine and Melody's voice is just powerful.
I like both Nicole and Melody.
No compare who is the best...coz they both good...only we want one by one talents who they r dance/sing by herself n unite on stage ... one by one enter sing or dance by herself before they became PCD in concert for reunion... on concert only ....coz my wish s to see n heard them on concert one by one before they all complete n pcd....I'm not wishing I see them n live but here in UA-cam coz I'm not rich to go n watch...maybe some of their fans wishing them one by one enter on stage for their talents before unite...coz that's a 😍😍😍...no one is bad talent...they hide coz unite but not break now they break it's n see how they r great so give them one by one enter n see how r they❤
To much yelling... hate to hear a screaming match between these 2 ... both have good voices, I do wish that Melody song more of the verses. Hearing Melody lead "Buttons" was amazing, it songs like she should have lead that song.
Yes she great singer too melody but she wasnt ment to do that if she wanted to have more orbe lead singer she should of did it er self not take over nicole s a singing was wrong they was her dancer and bk singers ..she was trying to get her it in there but behind there bks andwas wrong in my eyes... still nicole better
Melody yells too much and it hurts my ears.
Both beautiful and talented, but its medlody for me
With Nicole being lead it’s actually well disrespectful of melody to keep show casing her shout of a belt. I could hear where it would put Nicole off because of how off key melody is.
Both, Melody and Nicole have great voices.
Melody can do stuff but she lacks in control and musicality. She does riffs whenever she wants to not because the song needs it. She needs a little guidance where she can shine
Nicole forever 🦋
Agree 👍
now we know why nicole is the main singer. she has the superstar aura and sings better
Melody has a very unique voice and strong, i prefer hers way more.
