Nichole Cordova, Tiffanie Anderson, Chrystina Sayers and Natalie Mejia have come a very long way from being four very simple young ladies with dreams of making it big in the music industry to today's newest girl band performers who are ready to take on the world. In fact, the four teens have already recorded their self-titled debut album, which hits retail stores on July 1st under Geffen Records. Their first two singles, "Like Me" and "Stupid S---" are already available for purchase/download on iTunes, and their videos are all over music video channels everywhere.
"It has been amazing. It’s just like a dream come true," Cordova told Enterprise News. "I have a record deal! It’s a dream come true."

Fresh from The Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious, Nichole, Tiffanie, Natalie, Chrystina are the four happy girls who were able to land a record deal with Geffen Records, the people who made their debut self-titled album possible. In fact, the group has already released two videos, “Like Me” and “Stupid S---,” and their album will be hitting retail stores on July 1st. Now that they have got the ball rolling, the girls sit down to talk about their experiences on the reality competition, which trained them to become the sassy young performers they are now.
“When you are on reality TV you can’t get away with stuff you would have in real life,” the 18-year-old Nichole Cordova told Reality Wanted. “So that caused some problems between the girls.”

The four winners of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious have been keeping busy since the show completed filming last July. They've been talking to the press, planning a tour, scheduling upcoming appearances on TRL and the Fuse Network, and recording over 20 songs for the first Girlicious album, which will be in stores July 1. The same night that Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious aired its final episode on the CW, the group's first two music videos hit the Internet. The singles, entitled "Stupid Sh*t" and "Like Me," show off the sexy urban dance vibe that Girlicious is going for.
Continue on to watch both Girlicious music videos, and decide for yourself if creator Robin Antin chose the right girls from the competition.

Even in the final episode of the series, creator Robin Antin had one big surprise left for the contestants of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious. Throughout the season the girls were under the impression that only three of them would make the group, but Robin was so impressed with the talent on display that she decided to turn Girlicious into a foursome. Chrystina, Natalie, Tiffanie, and Nichole were ultimately deemed the winners, and since the show wrapped they've filmed two music videos and recorded over 20 songs for the upcoming Girlicious album. It was a life-changing event for every single one of them.
We recently had the chance to sit down with all four winners of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious to discuss their reactions to winning, their future plans, and the possibility of a Girlicious movie. Read on for the mp3 and complete transcript of the interview.

Throughout this season of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious, we've gone over the Most and Least Girlicious after each episode. With last night's finale, we now know who actually IS Girlicious, so there's no longer any debate. Tiffanie, Nichole, Natalie and Chrystina will be the new group and will be making their attempt to conquer the pop world.
All season long, we've heard that the girls on the show were vying for a spot in the trio, and the strongest three had seemed somewhat clear over recent weeks. So the last minute switch to include all four of the girls was the twist to the ending of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious. Was it a happy ending for the viewers?

Wednesday night is the season finale of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious. Fifteen girls started in this competition to form a girl group trio, and judges Robin Antin, Ron Fair and Lil Kim have worked their way down to the final five.
The final five girls are Tiffanie, the sassy girl with the strong personality and all-around talent; Nichole, the quiet blonde who's performed consistently throughout the show but who has also been told by the judges she needs to break out even more; Natalie, who was rated the most popular in an early challenge to see who young girl fans would like the best, but who also has struggled with some elements of performing; Charlye, who has been a strong performer onstage for much of the competition, but whose attitude has become more of an issue lately; and Chrystina, who the judges agree has some kind of magnetic allure but whose performance and attitude ups and downs have dogged her throughout the competition.
So what could happen tomorrow on Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious?

While I've been somewhat annoyed with the producers of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious for some of the more obviously-manipulated elements of the show, I will concede they have a tough job as the show nears its conclusion.
Unlike a show where only one winner emerges, Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious will have three. So the thing that helps generate drama – tension between the girls – is also the thing that could hinder the audience's excitement at the group finally coming together at the end. Ultimately, we do want the girls to be a team together, and so while they need the friction now, they also need it to be hurriedly resolved by the end. And they need the girls to not become so unlikable through the conflict that we stop caring about whether or not they get there.
