During the stream last night #Infinity mention a girl group that P Diddy signed in the early 2000s Dream. I forget what band she said so I looked up P Diddy girl group and this song popped up . I was like "Oh wow I remember hearing this when I was like 10, but I haven't heard it in so long. A lot of people in the comment section said Danity Kane had potential to further but Diddy broke them up.

I'm completely unfamiliar with that song. Although, "Showstopper" didn't chart at all in Australia, so that would be the reason why.

Personally, I think the UK’s 2000s girl groups were far superior to the ones we got in the US. Girls Aloud, Mis-Teeq, and Sugababes all churned out classic after classic, but American girl groups such as the Pussycat Dolls, Destiny Fulfilled-era Destiny’s Child, and yes, Danity Kane, released very few songs that I genuinely liked.
Much like the Pussycats, Danity Kane’s music was largely comprised of melodically underwritten kitsch that intrgrated elements of all the naughty hip hop at the time but instead came off as clueless valley girls put out of their environment. “Shoe Stopper” is a terrible, watery, self-indulgent wreck inspired by the wretched ringtone rap of its day and one of the songs that scared me away from pop music during my early adolescence. Their later hit “Damaged” was adequate, but still it was lightyears behind the magic of “Push the Button”, “Biology”, “Scandalous”, “Up”, “Sound of the Underground”, and the ilk.
I know I complain a lot about how much better pop music was in the UK than in the US throughout the 2000s, but the quality gap can be heard in spades when it came to girl groups. Dream and Survivor-era Destiny’s Child were good enough, but it was all downhill after that for America.

To be honest, I can't really say that I like any songs released by girl groups from the 2000s ("Scandulus" isn't too bad, I guess), but the UK girl groups generally did have more talent than their US counterparts.

Pussycats dolls was too pop-ish for me, I remember the girlfriend song from 2006/07 was played everywhere but I never'd got into them. I liked showstopper beat because it has that dancey type of feel, but the lryics are stereotypical club music you'll hear in the south. Ringtone rap may have been big at the time but Rnb was still strong back then.

"Don't Cha" would have to be one of my least favourite songs from 2005. Their best song, in my own personal opinion, would have to be "Buttons", which was their collaboration with Snoop Dogg. Although, that doesn't really say much, because i'm not a fan of their music.
