In Part 1 of our POP 101 deep dive, we’re unpacking the wild, reality TV origin story of Girlicious - the girl group built by Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin. From on-screen drama to real-life chart success, we follow their rise from TV competition to unexpected Canadian pop royalty. We discuss their debut album and singles "Like Me", "Stupid S***", and "Baby Doll", and unpack Tiffanie’s messy exit as the group faces label changes and uncertain footing in the industry.
