NICOLE, T.I. & POLOW: WHATEVER YOU LIKE!

Nicole Scherzinger feat. T.I. - Whatever You Like
Nicole makes her first splash onto the solo scene with her first single, “Whatever You Like,” featuring T.I. I’m a little surprised that this was the same production from the Chilli song that I posted a couple months ago. Although, something about Nicole’s version just makes me go crazy. I first heard this song in a club, and I think that’s what cranked me up. I think that this will really go off on the radio, I think. Especially with production from the infamous Polow Da Don and lyrics pinned by Sean Garrett. Lately, they’ve been doing everything for everyone. I’m excited for Nicole’s debut, Her Name Is Nicole, which is due out September. Nicole has productions from Will.I.Am, Pharrell Williams and Timbaland. She’s pulled everyone for this record.

Polow needs to stop recycling songs. Fergie’s Glamorous was a Gwen Stefani Remix. This sounds like Kelis’ Blinfold Me beat. What’s up with that ?
Is it necessary for Sean Garrett to be ALL UP on the songs now ? He did it on Wall 2 Wall as well…
Okay nuff hating, the song is hot overall. lol

a little dissapointed that others have had this beat, but it suits Nicole better.

wow i guess i shud give up law and move into the music biz. it seems i can produce any kind of sub-standard generic crap and people will still think its a straight club banger.LMAO!! to me this is pure garbage. from the repetitive beeps to the childish “i’ll do whatever you like”. i rly don’t get it. y’all must be hella drunk up in the club

Chilli’s version was childish and this one is better. Chilli’s version would not have been a hit. Chilli needs to do stuff for her age not highschool.

Chilli’s version was the best BY FAR!!! The way it was sung was much better and much catchier.
And didn’t Mase use that instrumental too? Polow da don needs to REINVENT himself because that sh*t he’s doing recycling beats is getting annoying. Stop being so LAZY and bring something serious.
And yes Chilli’s version was childish but if it was childish that tells a LOT on the level of this one. Nicole has a nice voice and chicks wanna sound so much like the typical R&B “rapsinger” like Fergie and Gwen, that she sounds like a teenager, and the lyrics are BEYOND toddler-ish the way they’re written. This chick is about 28, right?? Sean Garett really what were you thinking?? Get The F*ck Outta Here with that mess!
But I already know how the video’s gonna be, be half naked, look good, and do a lap dance for T.I. and you’ll save the single. TY-PI-CAL!

The beat does sound like Kelis’ “Blindfold Me”..I guess it’s okay..it’ll get radio play all over but I doubt any on my Ipod.

Wow…. “Blindfold Me”, much?
It’s okaaay….I suppose. This song is typical radio fluff, so it’ll most likely be a hit. Personally, I’m more excited about Melody’s solo release than Nicole.
I doubt I’d like this song, much. Oh well.

I like Chili’s version better. Her voice is a lot stronger, or at least on that track.
Nicole didn’t show off her voice enough, here. She’s practically talking.

This sounds a lot like Blindfold me by Kelis. This song sounds like everything that Kelis, Gwen, and Fergie done did. If you’re going to come out and introduce yourself as Nicole then get some original sounding material. No doubt you can dance to this, but it doesn’t have an original sound the ladies I mentioned plus Ciara, Ashanti, and Chili could all do this song. My verdict is that the video will make this a hit, I hope Nicole will do some real singing on her cd.

yeah 26 she fucks for tracks and her the rest of the pussycat dolls, even the manish one out there fucking for her tracks too. idk what is going on with this song, it will blow up on radio since it’s catchy but it won’t result in album sales, too urban, she needs to the stuff pcd did to sell, this isn’t going to work for her and t.i. was just okay.

Can’t listen to the song bc i’m at work…But I will say Nicole is very sexy….That’s one of the only women i’ve been able to say that about….There are alot of pretty/beautiful women in the industry but as far as being sexy, I can’t say that about too many…I regret admitting this to my bf bc almost every time she comes on tv i never hear the end of it….

like everyone else said, it is kind of like the ‘Blindfold Me’ beat but shit i heard the Chilli song, wtf both are wack, Chilli was ‘rapping’ and talking on hers and Missy was pure trash but Chilli was actually singing, Nicole’s voice as air like and bland and it’s ashame since Nicole can really really sing, hopefully her next single shows her voice since no one is going to buy her shit off of pcd fame, they weren’t that hot for an we-know-you-association-with-your-ex-group CD purchase

I’m glad you post this song. I got it the other day. It’s hot. She also has another leaked song out that I had four 6 months.
Non-related: Brian can you post the J Holiday song,”Bad”. I can’t find it anywhere.

Sounds too close to a Chris Brown song. And come on! Straight Jack was straight garbage. Chilli needs to get out of here with that. Nicole is almost 30, but Chilli is pushing 40. Sean Garrett obviously added his touch to the song because its an obvious upgrade.

I love this. I know it does sound a WHOLE lot like Kelis’s song but this is tite too so who cares. Sounds like somthing me and my sis would sing and flirt up all day and just get down to in the club.

I remember when I first heard Nicole S. on the WB’s show searching for a female group. During the process I heard her sing beautifully and then joined Eden’s Crush and I thought to myself that she would be a great solo artist. However, it seems to me that she is not singing to her potential and this latest song proves that. I am not in the entertainment industry so I don’t feel the pressures of artist to come up with “marketable” music. But I think that if you truly love your craft you should do what you love and have something as a secure back up plan in case your music doesn’t sell.

WELL IM NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE VOCALS, NICOLE CAN DO MUCH BETTER. THIS IS FIRE THOUGH, DEFINITELY A CLUB BANGER. POLOW MADE THE BEAT EVEN CRAZIER, I HEAR SOME OTHER SOUNDS THAT WEREN’T IN STRAIGHT JACKED, WHICH WAS WACK IN MY OPINION. CHILLI SHOULD JUST GIVE UP LOL BUT NICOLE DEFINITELY DID THE BEAT JUSTICE & T.I.’S VERSE IS HOT. & I AGREE WITH MOST OF YOU, IT DOES SOUND LIKE BLINDFOLD ME, BUT THIS SOUNDS HOTTER….I DIDNT REALLY LIKE BLINDFOLD ME LOL OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.

Whoever said Chili’s version was childish, oh please at least she was talking about a real event. Nicole is talking about what every ho in this industry talks about. She’s just like Fergie with this one. I’m surprised at Nicole because I thought she was coming out with something harder than this. She will only get buzz because she’s “exotic”
“I’ll do whatever you like, I’ll do whatever you like” Shut the hell up.
Polow Da Don is so wack. Why does he keep reusing beats over and over again.

I’ll say it again. Chilli’s version was CHILDISH. How in the right mind ya’ll gonna come on here a contradict ya’ll selves when Chilli song premired on this site, many of you were saying the same thing. But when a PCD lead takes the shine and makes the track better, ya’ll wanna take up for Chilli. Chilli’s track sounded too much like a TLC track and what they would have done before. Chilli needs to find her own solo stlye and then maybe people would take her solo acy seriously. I love TLC, but Chilli is solo she doesn’t need to do songs like her past. As for Nicole, chick got different styles and can sing. That whole PCD album is basically hers. Who cares if she wanna sing fast on a track or sound like she’s rapping. She’ll probably come harder next time on a different track, which she will. You don’t have to like the song. She can’t please everybody, but bets believe this will be a HIT before Chilli’s.

Nicole can sing, and I’m not talking about on this song. She has such an angelic voice! Has anyone heard “I’l be your love” with Yoshiki- search on youtube if you want. This type of song isn’t for her voice. She should be singing songs with deeper meaning. Come on Nicole, you could do so much better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyrAHsjE1kc

To all of you saying this sounds like Blindfold Me, please remember that that song sounded alot like a Missy song. So none of them are doing anything original. \
All the females you named from Gwen to Kelis to Fergie to Chilli to Nicole are all in their late 20’s or mid 30’s; so they all are singin’ immature songs.

Nyland KanWTFku, please do not make assumptions about me and you don’t even know me. You hate? I’m not a stan, I’m a fan. And I don’t care if you don’t like it. The song is going to be big. I like Nicole’s music and I say it proudly. This all started when I told you to SIT DOWN!! and you gets madd over two words?
Obviously you hate the way music is nowadays and quote “Females in this industry are just formulated dolls” I don’t see you doing anything can you do better? Give it a try. I can’t sing i’ll admit that.
Maybe I’m right. You’re the childish one, not Chilli’s song. You getting mad at me because I told you to Sit Down!! I’m making you mad enough that you have to call me a little girl, a stan, and say I live home with mommy. You have no clue. If you don’t like what I’m saying then that’s you.

Wellll
I didn’t like the first time I heard it the whole “I do whateva you like” thing was annoying, but I knew I’d grow into it (The same went with Rihanna’s “umbrella” and Beyonce’s “freakum dress” i hated those to start!)
In any case, I heard Chilli’s version, and I like both. Hers was less singing, however, and I prefer Nicole’s in that arena. Yes her vocals are airy, yes they are breathy etc, but I know that’s on purpose, you know? That sexy, light, head voice sound, is obviously intentional. So peeps can like it or lump it! Don’t tell her to do “better” with stronger vocals on this song. The beat was strong, if she was more powerful, she would be competing with the beat. We KNOW she can belt and all that jazz, but that was not what this song called for.
All in all, you gotta take the song by itself, and what it’s clear purpose is (to be a club banger/ shake your ass song), then we might all be happy!
