Girlicious singers Nichole Cordova, Natalie Mejia, and Chrystina Sayers found each other on the CW TV show Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious, and now the girls are show the world what they can do outside of reality TV. Their second album, Rebuilt, drops August 24, and we caught up with the girls at the Jersey Shore Soundtrack release party to find out all about their new tunes and what it’s like being in an all-girl group.
J-14: What is your favorite song off Rebuilt?
Chrystina Sayers: I love the song “Tell Me Lies” — it is a really good club song and everybody is going to love it.
Natalie Mejia: I am actually a really big fan of “Maniac.” It is a really great song and our first single.
J-14: What is “Maniac” about?
Natalie: It is just about a love that kind of drives you crazy. You know how love can be. It is a universal law.
Nichole Cordova: We’ve all been through that crazy love, so that’s what the song is about.
J-14: Who is your favorite Jersey Shore character?
Natalie: Snooki! Our song is on her CD, so we kind of represent her in a way. She likes to have fun and get down with us!
Nichole: That is why we’re here — for Snooki!
J-14: Is there ever drama being in a group of all girls?
Natalie: We all respect each other and know each other’s space. There’s never drama between us.
Chrystina: We did come from a reality show, so we know what drama is like, but we are sisters now and we respect each other. We support and love each other with anything. There was an element of competition in the beginning, but we learned from each other’s strengths and embrace that.
Girlicious shared a 14-second (or more!) diary of their day while on the red carpet — check it out here:

Girlicious is Delicious
Rolyn Chambers chats with the feisty pop starlets making a splash at Pride
Girlicious was conceived on TV. From the beginning, everything about it was already determined: the name, the songs, the clothing. Even the girls themselves were chosen, by Robin Antin, founder of the Pussycat Dolls. Over 10 episodes of the reality show Girlicious, Antin whittled 15 hopefuls down to three young women (plus Tiffanie Anderson, who parted ways with the group in 2009). After three years, however, this buxom threesome — and their catchy pop tunes — is slowly coming into its own. It doesn’t hurt that their name and pop stylings conjure camp silliness, which is perhaps one reason they’re popular not only with prepubescent girls but young gay men as well.
Two of the girls, Nichole Cordova and Chrystina Sayers, call from LA, ready to chat about their upcoming performance at Splash Bash during Toronto Pride.
Like the Spice Girls’ slogan, “Girl power,” the name Girlicious has taken on a different meaning for each of them. “To me it does mean girl power and friendship and amazing times,” Cordova says excitedly. And like the Spice Girls, who were defined by prominent personalities, the members of Girlicious are settling into their own characters. “Even though we are a lot alike, we each bring something different to the table,” Cordova points out. “Natalie raps and Chrystina and I have very different voices.” Their distinct personalities are even more evident when they’re asked what they would be if they were gay men: tops or bottoms?
“I’m not going to answer that,” replies Sayers quickly before Cordova (the more vocal and perhaps dominant member of the group) blurts out, “Gang bang!” Whispers are heard before they reformat their answer. “Girlicious would not take it that far. We would only hold hands and do group hugs.” Giggling ensues.
The fact that they have been together this long, when many critics did not expect them to survive even a year, says as much about their commitment to each other as it does about the management of their careers. “We have defeated all the odds,” declares Cordova. “I see us taking on more things musically. I see Girlicious becoming even bigger than we are right now.”
