Whistle register singer[edit]

How is she a whistle register singer? Shes a great vocalist. One of my favorites and definately the best from PCD but I haven't heard her sing in whistle. Myke 08:29, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CAN PEOPLE REALLY STOP POSTING THAT SHE CAN SING IN THE WHISTLE REGISTER WHEN THERE'S NO PROOF. PLEASE IF THERE IS PROOF GIVE ME THE SONG.-JOSHUA

She had a solo song called "Space" on the Deluxe Edition of Doll Domination. Blueknightex (talk) 10:22, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is her father somalian?[edit]

Can anyone provide the source, if her father is Somalian

No I'm her cousin and her father is African American.

Exclamation mark[edit]

Is the exclamation mark after her doll nickname necessary? Its not really in keeping with a biography type page.

Can someone who knows how add a picture of her and the other pussycat dolls that don't have one. I would if I knew how. Thanks

See I tried but it didn't work out. Fix it if you will (try and keep this picture it shows her whole self the best of any I could find).

Neutrality dispute[edit]

Messy Thinking 01:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC) I find it very hard to have the article edited without resorting to the use of weasel words. Perhaps pcdmusic.com would be of help.[reply]

Are you saying that you're having a hard time fixing the POV in the article due to the proliferation of weasel words? Antonrojo 18:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Melody's Relationship[edit]

She is not dating Bow Wow that is just a rumor started by a picture his sources tell me that not true.

Commented You Tube link[edit]

Commented out temporarily. IS interviewer name mentioned the holder of the profile used to upload the clip concerned? This isn't clear from the profile information.

Fan/Web Site[edit]

I've removed the following link: *Melody Thornton Website as it appears to be no longer available. I found another site: http://melodythornton.net/ but upon entering it, it appears to be a site for Nicole Scherzinger. I'll add Thornton's MySpace page in case of further references. londonsista | ^Prod 04:24, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Circular link[edit]

The link here for her song Lioness Eyes just brings the reader back to this very page. Not particularly useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.161.126.25 (talk) 04:23, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree re your statement here so I have removed these links and the Lioness Eyes link points to the relevant section. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 10:12, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

revert[edit]

With this edit, Editor MrHyacinth reverted my edit without explanation.

I came to this article because this citation has an archive.org snapshot url in |url=; archive snapshot urls belong in |archive-url=. But |archive-url= is occupied with an archive.ph snapshot url. In trying to sort out that mess, I discovered that neither of these archive snapshot urls lead to a copy of a source titled: "Final three celebs revealed as US music star wins Masked Singer". Follow these urls:

|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220828124953/https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/reality-tv/final-three-celebs-revealed-as-us-music-star-wins-masked-singer/news-story/0fb7408ccda1a4c64b3f05f6eab38b1a → Potential automated action detected!
|archive-url=https://archive.ph/R79kZ → Not Found (yet?)

Because neither of these urls lead to the expected source, I deleted the whole reference and replaced it with {{citation needed}} so that someone who cares about this article can locate an actual source that supports the article text.

Editor MrHyacinth's revert should be reverted and someone who cares about this article should find a replacement source.

There having been no discussion, I have restored my edit for the reasons stated above.
