Girlicious: The Trio Era and Demise | POP 101: A Guide to Girlicious (Part 2)
In Part 2 of our POP 101 look at Girlicious, we dive into the group’s "Rebuilt" era - complete with a new sound and look as a trio. We break down the rollout of singles like "Over You," "Maniac," and "2 in the Morning," and how the group tried to redefine themselves beyond their reality TV origins. But despite the glow-up, label changes and behind-the-scenes tension led to their quiet breakup. We also revisit the mini-reunions that followed and share our personal highlights from a discography that still deserves more love.Join us on Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/CCTVPOPSFollow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/cctvpops0:00 - Intro0:14 - "Over You" and "Sexy B****"5:06 - Natalie's arrest7:03 - "Maniac"12:39 - "2 In The Morning"15:08 - "Rebuilt" album20:40 - "Hate Love"22:40 - Chrystina and Natalie's departure; split28:09 - Mini-reunions and post-group activities33:13 - Discography highlightsReferences:“Only You” Official Audio https://youtu.be/QcKYQ0sQ3gw?si=SEWYY8doTEzIll0J“Sexy Bitch” (David Guetta and Akon Cover) Official Audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkka3LAB7ZU“Maniac” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgjwywlSrZ0“Maniac” Video Rehearsal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLLLQKEzXRU“Maniac” Live Fancam https://youtu.be/tmhVzFeH-cg?si=9iWDPQ3TsNReS7FV “2 In The Morning” Live Fancam https://youtu.be/nJirj_ALZ_s?si=mpmb8o47J1fA6pohGirls United - X Factor Audition https://youtu.be/tO1yM3MYtTE?si=jyLQvNAtWlj2d6gvCarli de Ville’s Girlicious Deep Dive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Mz2z6yJbQChrystina Sayers - Testimonial https://youtu.be/nKe-GpHuyPA?si=PlfAIqe4MM7uO8ue Natalie dancing “Like Me” https://www.instagram.com/p/C-yItK8yVfl/ Queen Priyanka & Nichole Cordova performing “Like Me” and “Stupid S***” https://youtu.be/rixQtwTLVEc?si=ceXV9i4QFMYrK2vK
