The event was also packed with performances including the one by Pussycat Dolls. According to Pussycat Dolls website, the PCD performance was toned down

The Pussycat Dolls performed “Buttons” & “When I Grow Up.” Their outfits & performance was toned down. If you didn’t know PCD’s promoter was fined when they performed in Malaysia two years ago because they were “scantily dressed performers” & their performance had “sensuous elements.” So they didn’t show stomach & legs. They also changed their choreography: Ashley & Kim didn’t turn around in “you just might get it” & they didn’t bend over during the the dance break in both songs.
