Statement

Some people wanted the full.. here it is. And credit to GimmeThat from SpillItNow.

A Fan emailed the Girlicious manager asking..
When are we going to get more news on Girlicious? About new memebers, the future etc. Have you actually got new members already or still trying to find people? The fans would really like to have some answers about stuff regarding Natalie and Chrystina leaving Girlicious


Their manager replied
hey tom i dont have too much info yet. but nat and chrys didnt want to continue. It was devastating news to us. But who do you think fans would like to see in the next phase of GLG?

I believe that Natalie and Chrystina left because of the management and not because of Nichole. Some people have already mentioned Sugababes and there was a similar situation with them a while ago. There have been many different line up changes in the Sugababes and at one point there was one original memember (Keisha) and two memembers who had been brought in along the way (Heidi and Amelle) and the two replaced memembers didn’t get on with Keisha so there quit the group. The girls management eventually got Heidi and Amelle to join back the group but there would only come back if Keisha wasn’t involved so there got rid of the original memeber rather than two newer memembers. I know that with Girlicious it is a bit different as there have all been there since the beginning but what I am trying to say is that it is easier to lose one memember than two so if Nichole was the problem surely the management would have fired her so that there were still two original memembers.

I know some people think that the record company favourites Nichole but by the end of it she was the only one promoting the album tbh (the phone calls, radio, night club apperances). I do blame the record label for a lot of the mistakes recently in Girlicious as there didn’t give them enough promotion for them to be a success and let them drop of the radar. When there had there USA show I don’t blame Nichole for putting what she did, it was wrong of her and I’m sure she regrets it now as that did seem like the nail in the coffin but the management weren’t getting the girls that many performances anyway so to get one in the USA must have been a lot of pressure for the girls and if Nichole felt as though Natalie could jepordize that performance then she called her out on it, she shouldn’t have on twitter and confronted Natalie to her face. Anyway that’s old news and I’ll move on now.

For everyone saying that Beau Dozier gave Nichole more leads on Rebuilt and cut out Chrystina and Natalie due to there relationship. Beau and Nichole didn’t get together til November 2009 and the girls recorded the album in the summer of 2009 so that had noting to do with Nichole. Also Natalie said that she wasn’t there for some days when there were recording so really if she wasn’t there she can’t except to be on the songs (I know that Natalie didn’t complain about it but the fans have done). Also Nichole and Beau have just split up now.

The future of Girlicious is looking unsure as of the moment with no replacements been brought in as of yet and no one knowing much more but I going to support Nichole, Chrystina and Natalie fully and give them a chance to do there thing. I know that Girlicious isn’t going to be the same without Chrystina and Natalie, just as it isn’t the same watching the 3 of them perform Like Me or any other song off the first album without Tiffanie. Each girl brings something very different and unique and obviously losing 2 memembers at once is going to have a big impact on the group. I am having trouble imaging Nichole and two new girls performing Like Me and I’m not even sure if it will look right, a part of me sorta wants the new group to start again and from strach as it could give them a better chance and then there can drop all the past drama and stories. If the management brings in new talented girls though and there deliever good music, great singing and dancing, chemistry and perform well then I am willing to give them a chance. I know that there aren’t going to be able to find an exact replacement for Natalie and Chrystina as there both unique but I think we should wait to see who there bring in before people go and say there over with them as it must have been a difficult decision for the girls and it must be tough for Nichole right now but as long as there all happy and doing what there love then I will support them.

Official Statement - Kinda.

Ok, so I've found out from a secondary source the reason as to why Girlicious broke up. It's long, so I'll give it to you in bullet points

- Natalie & Chrystina didn't leave because of Nichole, but because of management
- They wanted Natalie & Chrystina gone, or they would have got rid of Nichole.
- Nichole did most of the promotion (radio interviews, phone calls ect.)
- Nichole & Beau's relationship wasn't the reason for Nichole's huge amount of lines on "Rebuilt", as they weren't together when recording started or finished.
- Their manager blames the label for lack of promotion
- The U.S show was a huge opportunity for the girls, and Nichole thought Natalie could jepourdize this.


- Noone has been brought in to replace Nat and Chrys.
- Their manager beleives they should start again..


So really, this is down to label/management. The label wasn't getting them the promotion, and the management weren't supporting them. Natalie and Chrystina didn't want to continue with the management.

The End.

Sad news Girlicious fans, it's official. Chrystina and Natalie have left Girlicious, and Nichole is staying within the group, meaning most likely two or more new members will join.

This is a sad time for us fans, as only two albums in, the girls have already lost three members. This is turning out to be like the Sugababes.

I will be keeping the site open, for the future Girlicious.

EXCLUSIVE:Maniac Alternate Single Cover




Found on MapleMusic :D
Dunno if anyone else found it, probably did, but I posted it first haha!

I like it, still wish these single covers had full pictures.

Rebuilt International Release dates!!!

HOORAY!

Amazon in the UK, Germany and France have but "Rebuilt" up for pre-order! This means that the listed countries will be able to buy the album online via Amazon. It hasn't been revealed yet if physical cd's will be available, and if it is available elsewhere in Europe, but due to the album not being an Imported CD it looks like its an official release!

With this, it gives Europe much hope, seeming they could be getting a single from the album soon. Of course, this is just wishing, but as soon as we get more information on it, we will post :D

P.S: There first album is Sold Out in the UK ;) Deluxe and Standard on Amazon... this either means there was only a few available, or lots of people bought them :L

CANADIAN, BRITISH, GERMAN AND FRENCH FANS MAKE SURE TO PRE-ORDER YOUR COPIES OF REBUILT! IT WILL ONLY HELP THE GIRLS ;)

Megapost

Ok here we go!

2 in the Morning
2 in the Morning is #21 on this weeks airplay chart, and #40 on this weeks Canadian Hot 100. This makes it the highest charting single from this album, and the third highest peaking single from the Girls! This is a HUGE movement for the girls, as 2 in the Morning continues to gain airplay and is increasing in sales. Infact, 2 in the Morning was one of the biggest airplay gainers this week, and one of the highest selling singles of the week! WELDONE GIRLS!!

Also, the girls have confirmed that a music video is been green-lighted now, so its literally going to be shot soon.. lets hope 2 in the Morning holds on the chart until then!

SO KEEP REQUESTING!

U.S

Ok, so If you haven't already heard, a bunch of Maniac remixes are being added to US clubs soon, which basically means Maniac is still being promoted! Also, both Maniac and 2 in the Morning will be sent to US iTunes Soon! This is a huge deal, as this will be the girls real breakthrough to the US market! I will keep you all posted on news about them!

ALBUM COVER
Nicole LITERALLY just confirmed that the album cover has been approved, which could mean we have the album cover any time now, and this further supports the albums release is coming soon, which is currently slated for November!


TELEVISION
Just thought I'd address the recent leak. Just wanted to say, people have NO NEED to worry about this affecting the albums release date, the song was posted on the producers myspace, and therefore not actually leaked, and noone has access to the songs (that we know of right now!) Also called "Personal TV" has been seen to fans as "Save the World/Radio Part 2" which I would agree. Although not amazing on first listen, it's actually a grower and I currently love it. Its going to be on the album, despite what some say. As Chrys confirmed that all the songs theyve recorded "as of now" have made the cut! Enjoy the song, but rest assured the song isn't the final version!!
