PUSSYCAT DOLLS MUSIC VIDEOS
MTV's Brandee J. Tecson commented: "Leave it to the Pussycat Dolls to cast someone in their music video who can actually steal attention away from six gyrating half-naked chicks." Billy Johnson, Jr. of Yahoo! Music said: "Front and center, the stunning Nicole Scherzinger, surrounded by good company, pranced around in tank tops and short shorts while drag racing in convertible jeeps. They raised the bar."

In an interview with MTV News, Dick talked about directing the music video. He said the main theme of the video was: A photographic rendition of the life of the Pussycat Dolls: travelling around, getting ready for gigs, being on the tour bus, doing a photo session, waking up in a motel, talking to their boyfriends on the phone, soundchecking. He continued saying: "There's a moment in the video where they each dance, because we wanted something to be a bit uptempo from the single, which is a slow groove. And each girl picked their own music, so it was a little contest between each of them. They were trying to outdo each other, trying to pump each other up. It was all modern dance mixes."
The music video begins with the group at a hotel being awoken by someone knocking on the door. The Pussycat Dolls begin to pack their belongings, then walk to their tour bus and stop to sign autographs for fans on the way. The video continues to show footage of the girls on the bus, in dance rehearsals and practicing their song Stickwitu. The video ends with the girls coming out of a back entrance of a building posing for pictures.

The video ends with the girls walking away.
Tom Breihan from The Village Voice ranked the video at #10 on his favorite videos of the year commenting: "Obvious reasons and all, but this is also a big, glossy pop video done right: flashy editing, decent choreography, a distinct look. If those are easy things to do, why isn't every pop video this good?". The video received two nominations for Best Dance Video and Best Choreography at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards and won Best Dance Video. It was also nominated at the 2007 MTV Australia Video Music Awards for Best Hook Up. Contessa Gayles of AOL Music Blog included the music video at #39 on the list of Top 50 Dance Music Videos. In 2007 Canadian music channel MuchMusic ranked the video at #4 in the list of the "50 Sexiest Music Videos of All-Time". It was also ranked at #85 on Fuse's "100 Sexiest Videos of All Time".

In the video The Pussycat Dolls are shown sitting in a car in the middle of a traffic jam. They sing the first verse in the car before jumping out. When the chorus kicks in, the girls get out of their car and jump on the roofs of other cars to start dancing a routine. Then they walk down the Hollywood Boulevard with bubbles floating all around them. As the second chorus starts, the girls climb up a scaffolding and begin to dance. The final scene shows the girls performing their dance breakdown. The camera zooms out to reveal filming equipment and playback screens.
Nick Levine from Digital Spy wrote that: "The Pussycat Dolls have a novel way of amusing themselves during traffic jams" and described the dance breakdown as "entertaining" and "nostalgic". In Australia, the video was criticized for the video being too raunchy.

The video starts out with Nicole playing the piano while the other girls are shown on a remote road with a broken car, waiting for another car to arrive. During the chorus, the girls are walking down the road and then they start dancing in the sand of the desert. Later on, all the girls are shown in different elements in the desert: Of course Nicole is shown singing and in front of the broken car with a wolf, Jessica in a parking lot on top of an arcade machine, Ashley walking in a parking lot with a pink stuffed elephant, Melody with a flower and a deer and Kimberly in an old pick-up truck. The final scene shows true emotion with the girls dancing in the rain during a thunderstorm.
John Kordosh of Yahoo! Music negatively commented that the video "shows Nicole pretending to play the piano while the rest of the troupe looks good in situations that have nothing to do with anything." MTV Buzzworthy noted that "Nicole's post-breakup ritual is less skulking-around-the-house and more crazy, desert-style Wet t-shirt contest." Nick Levine from Digital Spy, wrote that "the video is a less racy affair than usual, though the girls do get to flash some flesh during a dancing-in-the-rain scene at the end." In 2009, the video received a MuchMusic Video nomination for Best International Group Video.

The British tabloid newspaper The Daily Mail commented that "the girls perform their high-energy dance moves in a series of sexy lingerie." Nadia Mendoza from fellow UK newspaper The Sun agreed, particularly commenting on the outfits and the dance. A reviewer from Rap-Up wrote that "The Pussycat Dolls turn up the heat in their smolderin’ burlesque-inspired clip." MTV News compared the music video of Whatcha Think About That to Danity Kane's "Bad Girls", concluding: "We like the Dolls' video better, but prefer the vocal stylings of Danity Kane for the simple reason that their song sounds less like a lesson in robotics and more like actual singing."

A reporter of The Daily Mail commented that the video is "the most revealing Pussycat Dolls video yet". While noted that "the rest of the group are barely seen in the video with Nicole as the star of the show. Celebuzz praised the video describing it as a steamy clip: "It starts out in the best possible way: with lead doll Nicole Scherzinger wet and naked." Reviewer Melinda Newman commended the overemphasis of lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. "It's a PCD' video in name only given that the other dancers barely have more than cameo appearances. There's not even the remotest hint that there are other people in the group until more than a minute in when she passes through a door onto a multi-level staircase and the other Dolls are dancing as the song morphs from a ballad to dance number. The other Pussycat Dolls are completely relegated to background dancers, along with the other hired hands."
