What was your favourite moment of 2008?

KIMBERLY: Definitely winning an MTV Video Music Award for When I Grow Up. We won an award in the past for the PCD album but this was different as it was our second time, and we’d just come back with the Doll Domination album. We had no clue beforehand. People think you know but we had no idea. 

Any weird fan experiences this year?

KIMBERLY: We don’t have any weird fans. It’s just been a lot of love and a lot more of them. 

What was your favourite album of 2008?

KIMBERLY: My favourite record would have to be the Duffy album. She has a beautiful voice and that record hasn’t really been off since it came out.
NICOLE: I know it came out the year before but I loved the MIA album – she is doing something so different and the beats she uses are incredible. I like the way she has mixed hip-hop beats with traditional south Indian sounds. 

Which was your favourite show to play?

KIMBERLY: When we did the American Music Awards it was a big performance and we put a lot of hours and hard work into it. We had guy dancers with us for the first time which made it different. The energy and power behind it all was amazing. It was unforgettable. 

How has the band changed this year?

ASHLEY: Things had changed a lot which is why when we came back with Doll Domination we released When I Grow Up as the first single. We had all grown up a lot since the first album. We’ve been out there and toured the world and then we came back as different people.  We had more knowledge of what it’s like to be rock stars. The sound changed as well, it has a lot more of an R&B flavour and a lot more ballads on the album. 

What have you learnt about yourselves?

ASHLEY: I really learned to go inside and ground myself. It’s important for me to meditate every day and put my mind into perspective into what makes me happy and what’s important in my life. It’s not a new way of thinking for me but I have made this more of a priority in my life this year. We see a guru as well in LA and she has made me open my eyes and heart to a bigger purpose in life. 

What would you change about the past 12 months if you could go back in time?

ASHLEY: If I could change anything I would add an extra month so I could go and see family and friends as we have been all over the world this year. 

What are your plans for New Year’s Eve?

JESSICA: I’m going to go home to Tampa, Florida, to see my family and eat a lot of food and kiss my nieces and nephews. 

Have you made any New Year’s resolutions?

MELODY: To not let things get to me so easily. I get mad about 75 times a day. 

Who are you tipping for the top in 2009?

MELODY: Jazmine Sullivan is someone I will tip. She is amazing. I love Bust Your Windows. She is so talented and already has five Grammy nominations so she’s definitely going to be huge. 

What can we expect from your 2009 tour?

MELODY: The PCD 0.2. This is the next level of Doll Domination. We adopted the doll domination slogan on the last tour but we are living it this year. Everything is going to be much bigger this time round. And we’re taking guys out with us on tour. And we have Ne-Yo and Lady Gaga supporting.
