However, their performance of 'Undivided' featuring Snoop Dogg has been slated by critics. Hardly the reception the girls were looking for on their first outing.
'EW' referred to them as "Pussycat Dolls Lite," adding that "The obvious similarities were unfortunate, especially since their routine was even more mind-numbingly boring than Nicole Scherzinger's performance last week. ... Seriously, though, who did Snoop get high to get those girls on the show?"
'The Los Angeles Times' blasted the band's name -- "more 1981 than 2011" -- and said "their music was forgettable (despite a boost from Snoop Dogg) and their look and stage presence needs some work. (Less winking, to start.)"
Yahoo criticized the girls' "truly horrendous" vocals and scathingly noted that their dancing "wasn't even good, which is pretty important when performing on a show called 'So You Think You Can Dance.' ... If this performance were on 'America's Got Talent' all three Xs would have been lit up within a minute into the performance." Ouch.
Blush Slammed by Critics After Their US TV Debut on 'SYTYCD' (VIDEO)
Commenters on Twitter were just as forthright: "Wow, never thought I'd willingly want to hear Snoop Dog, but Blush was so bad I wanted him to keep going."
Billed as "The World's First Pan-Asian Girl Band," Blush is the product of 'Project Lotus,' a 'Making the Band'-type talent search in Asia. After being searched and auditioned from each of five representing countries -- India, China, Japan, Korea and Phillipines -- the successful contestants were put through an intensive girl band bootcamp in Asia and the US.
They've also worked with a number of heavy-hitting producers and writers including Eliot Kennedy (Spice Girls, S Club 7, Celine Dion), Shaznay Lewis (All Saints) and Una Healy (The Saturdays).
Do you think their performance was really that bad? Watch it here:
