Sean Combs, Denzel Washington, Heavy D, Ben Gordon and now Asia Nitollano. All of these people have put Mt. Vernon, NY on the map in their own unique way and Asia is the latest to do so as she is the newest member of the Pussycat Dolls.
'Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll' came to an end Tuesday and it was down to three girls.
Asia, Melissa and Chelsea - - I can't tell you how it came down to these three because frankly I tuned out of the show after the first episode.
But once I heard Asia was still around and had a chance to win, I tuned in for the finale.
Her personal story was the most touching out of any of the contestants.
She left her young daughter back home in order to try out for the show.
Regardless of what you think about Asia having a child at such a young age (18), it doesn't take away from the fact that she managed to go for her dream and achieve it.
And for that, I applaud her.
That and the fact that she's from Money Earnin' Mt. Vernon!
Does this mean I will listen to the Pussycat Dolls?
Of course not.
But I will pay more attention to their videos from now on to make she's really in the group and this show wasn't some bad prank to play on poor Pussycat Doll fans.

Ms. Asia we always knew you were going to be somebody. The Rice family misses the family alot. We need to come visit and see the baby. We wish you the best baby girl. Keep doing your thing. Love You

How many members of the PCD are they looking for? I'm happy Asia won but they're already advertising for Season 2! HUH! Maybe they are going to revamp the group season by season and I'm sure that means the lead singer is off to make her solo album..

I'm glad that Asia won as well. I just hope that she stays true to herself and not let the business get the best of her. I pray that she keeps her daughter close to her. Its seems as though she has great support from her family and I believe that she is going to go a long way. It just goes to show anyone that we should always follow are dreams because, they can and they will come true. Gratulations Asia!

I'm glad my prediction was proven true, even before the other Melisa got eliminated, I knew Asia was going to win. Not only because of her personal story; but look, this girl got talent. In all the song she sang, she made it her own with some dance moves too. The finale solo that the others had to perform, she made the crowd dance with her, (wow!!!, I was also dancing too). Though Melisa (hater) said that Asia was struggling with the songs, look here baby girl, this girl was giving her 110%, I know you guys saw that girl singing herself out. I wish her the best of luck with her daughter and her dream as a pussy cat doll.

I liked Asia. I also liked the fact that she helped out Chelsea when she was struggling with the dance steps (that said alot about her character.) I was also happy that other Melissa left because she was evil and NOT a team player. If it wasn't Asia that won I hoped it would've been Chelsea. I think Asia will make a nice addition to the group.

I liked Asia. If Asia hadn't won I would have wanted Chelsea to win. All throughout the show the other girls were "hating" on Asia and saw her as a threat. It was funny when toward the end of the show when Asia started to get serious and set people straight. There are way too many girls in the group which leads me to believe that someone is leaving, probably Nicole. I like the PCD and the CD is a great source to enhance my workout.
