The Pussycat Dolls rounded into its most celebrated form in 2003, when Jimmy Iovine took charge of the band’s transition into a straight-up girl group, hosting auditions for permanent members. It was initially will.i.am who recommended frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger to Iovine, after having previously asked her to join The Black Eyed Peas.
In a 2006 interview with The Washington Post, Scherzinger reflected on her introduction to the band, having seen them perform on David Letterman. “I remember thinking, ‘Well, what is this? Who are these girls?’ They were doing ‘Big Spender’ [from the musical Sweet Charity], and it had a cabaret vibe. It caught my eye because I’d played Velma Kelly in Chicago in college. I thought it was something different: These girls are hot, it’s a little raw, it’s theatrical.” She added: “And I thought, ‘I can do that.’ When you grow up being a performer and a singer, you watch people and say, ‘I can do that,’ right? But I had no idea that I’d audition and that one day I’d be fronting the group.”
