GEARING UP: HER NAME IS NICOLE

NICOLE SCHERZINGER ON THE SET OF “WHATEVER YOU LIKE”


Nicole Scherzinger feat. T.I. - Whatever You Like

With a new single produced by Polow Da Don, a video just being shot and a release date of October 16 being confirmed, I think it’s safe to say that Nicole is ready to stake her claim. Why, do you ask, is her album appropriately titled Her Name Is Nicole? Well, the lead Pussycat Doll was tired of being known as just that: the lead singer from the PCD, so in order to gain her own identity, she reintroduces herself to the industry that she’s worked in for so many years.

Her Name Is Nicole is a collaboration between herself and some of the hottest producers in the game today. With songs from The Neptunes, Polow Da Don, Ne-Yo, Akon, Will.I.Am (with whom she’s worked with before on the PCD project), and Timbaland, you can tell that budgeting definitely wasn’t a priority with Scherzinger’s project.

Its cool for what it is. I think her production is really playing on this making her sound like Fergie. I guess thats why all music and artist sound the same,no one is origional anymore,or has unique sound.

I like Nicole’s swagger and I think she’ll do well but this is weak to me. Her vocals are much stronger than this. Guess they did it for the young/pop crew that doesn’t seem to care about quality. T.I. is a good look though

Nothing special. It’s average. For some reason it reminds me of a Janet Jackson remix. Won’t buy it but might download it. yea i said download.LOL

I’m a fan of Nicole’s. I like this song, and I can see it getting a considerable amount of airplay, but it sounds a LOT like “Blindfold Me” from Kelis’ last album (Kelis Was Here).

Few may know this, but nicole can really sing. I’ve been watching her since pop stars, (enden crush) which many don’t even know about. I’m glads she’s getting the recognition, that is way over due. Love UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Monday, August 6, 2007 /

She has alot of sex appeal. She is lacking in the vocals. Thank goodness she has all these great producers, hopefully the beats will make up for that voice. If she does find any type of sucess it prob won’t last long.

I think this winter NICOLE is gunna heat things up. She is talented & cute 2 look at. Her style is crazy. She’ll get far.
I agree with #12 her & KERI HILSON are gunna be the it girlz… It can have something to do with working fine-ass POLOW DA DON … (LMAO)

I must be the only one who thinks this album is going to be hot.

I mean, just because everyone on her album is black except her is no reason to fiesty.

I’m not takin up for her because she is fine as hell either….it is a little Janet-ish and a little Fergalicious…but Polow makes it hot…yeah I know that is the same kick-drum from Kelis’ “Blindfold Me” and maybe that’s why I like it but whatever!!!!

19.

R.K.J.ville3000

I don’t know if anyone remembers…

Nicole was on an episode of The Jamie Foxx Show

It was when Jamie was afraid to fly on the plane and he was hitting on this girl (Nicole). He thought she was perfect until she opened her mouth and said she was a Witch and was going to bring the plane down with her powers.

Yeah and she was in Eden’s Crush too…you know Fergie in Wild Orchid….yeah them hoes are all old….lol.

Nicole can sing way better than this song or most PCD songs show. For those that think she can’t sing listen to some of her other songs and collabs like “Feelin’ Good” (a PCD song, but she’s literally the only one singing on it), “You Are My Miracle”, “Breakfast in Bed” or “I’ll Be Your Love”. This song does nothing for her.

#19, that was actually Wanda Sykes old show “Wanda At Large”. Wanda was going on a romantic ski trip with her boyfriend and all her co-workers ended up coming along. Wanda’s boyfriend was the one that was afraid to fly and her friend was the one hitting on Nicole. She told him she was a witch going to fight evil in Vermont or something to that effect.

I only remember that because TV One replayed the episode a couple of months ago.

Monday, August 6, 2007 /

she’s a pretty girl and thats pretty much it. she can sing like everybody but she cant sang sang. if she didnt want to b know as lead singer of pcd, she should had been a solo artist frm the get go, she was the only one that made the group to b honest.

im not really feelin but throwin t.i will make anybody like it but he is overrated too. we’ll see the outcome

I think she’s going to do well. I’ve heard two tracks from her so far and their fire. She can sing and dance her ass off and command the stage. Even though she’s pulling a “Joss Stone”, I can’t be mad at her. She’s really determined to make it.

PRETTY WOMAN

I swear Nicole Scherzinger and Kim Kardashian are the same person…come on…

It’s like LeToya Jackson and Michael…you never see them in the same place at the same time…..that’s cause they are ONE!!!!!

Kim/Nicole’s booty is a removable flesh pad that can be attached and dissasembled…..with the help of movie magic of course….

There are some pictures of Kim/Nicole on Mediatakeout.com flexin her removable booty….LOL…oh and the make-up does look a little Amy Winehouse-y…

nicole may be very pretty but this is weak , such a bad bad song.

even though she has a very good voice, there were 2 other gals in pcd who could actually sing better than her- i went to their concert and melody and the red-haired gal sing even better than nicole, so her voice isnt amazing or all that. but shes the “bey” of pcd and has been pushed to the forefront, i recon she will be very famous cus she has a lot of people behind her. looks and a good voice can only take you so far, she needs to step up on this crap music

50.

why do I have to log in

Monday, August 6, 2007 /

Yes nicole CAN sing. I love, “i’ll be your love” with Yoshiki. But I hate how they are trying to market her. She’s way better than this ish!

The beat remind me of Kelis for some reason. .

To me it was more like “Nicole-who’s crazy for singing all them songs and sharing all that money with them dancers” rather than “Nicole-the lead singer from PCD”

Why is she singing like that? Nicole can do better, way better. At least T.I’s on the track, that’ll help it cause this song is pretty weak.

she has nice voice and she’ll probably go far but i don’t really like the song. But if i listen to it a lot it might grow on me.

Nicole Scherzinger is currently the baddest chick on God’s green earth, right brothas & sistas?

She’s better than our Meagan Good, Beyonce’, Ciara, such and such, right my peoples?

I LOVE MY GIRL NICOLE!

P.S BRIAN THAT PHOTO WITH THE GREEN BACKGOUND IS NOT, I REPEAT IS NOT FROM HER VIDEO SHOT. IT’S ACTYUALLY A PHOTO FOR A CW PROMO.

1.”BLINDFOLD ME’ AND “WHATEVER YOU LIKE” WERE PROD. BY POLOW THAT’S WHY THEY SOUND ALIKE PPL.

2. NICOLE HAS THE STRONGEST VOCALS IN PCD. I HAVE HEARD MELODY SING ON SOME SONGS SOLO, LIKE THE ONE WITH JIBBS. MEL HAS A GOOD VOICE BUT SHE CAN’T HIT THEM NOTES LIKE NIC.

3. HOW THE HELL YALL WANT HER TO PURE OUT HEAVY VOCALS ON A BEAT LIKE THAT? HIGH ANGELIC VOCALS DON’T WORK ON A BEAT LIKE THIS ONE. NO MATTER WHO IS SINGING IT.

4. NICOLE IS NICOLE, SHE AIN’T TRYING TO BE NO FERGIE.

5. NICOLE HAS PAID HER DUES AND A SOLO PROJECT FROM HER HAS BEEN LONG OVER DUED.

ALL IN ALL I AM A BIG FAN OF HERS. SHE IS TALENTED SHE SINGS, ACTS, DANCES AND SHE USE TO MODEL BACK IN THE DAY. PLUS SHE HAS THE ABLITY TO SING AND DANCE IN UNISON WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE A HOT MESS LIKE SOME OTHER PLL WE KNOW. SHE AND KERI ARE REALLY GOING TO GIVE US SOMETHING WE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. I JUST CAN’T WAIT!

OHH I FORGOT ONE MORE THING SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL!

That was horrid, with a dash of wack. Seems like all you have to do now a days is be pretty and able to bounce your ass to a beat and you’ll be a hit. I miss the days of regular looking women who could actually sing…

@sxycarmel26 some artists are unique like m.i.a. but yes, the industry is pretty bland right now

i think she’ll do really well but she already bores me therefore i won’t buy her cd

63.

yay! another non black girl trying to sound black and rapper going on the produce them. hoenstly why cant we get some ppl like india.arie, heather headley, etc etc instead we get the same old beyonce/rihanna and assorted white girls who are trying to sound rnb and black ppl eat them the fuck UP.

in response to dynomyte, white black blah blah music is music it is an expression and a reflection of your own personality and swagger. if a girl like nicole can do it then why hate on her! people will shine in this industry , if they show passion and a natural flow to a genre. i say you should apprieate in stead of genrating hate…. i am guna suport this girl because i know she loves her music and it deffinaty shows if you took a moment out of your daily schedule!!!
theres not alot of REAL artist out there so she has my vote despite colour!!!!!

and twani loving your comment…

Michael

Monday, August 6, 2007 /

It reminds me of Kelis’ “Blindfold Me.” However, with so many artists and so much much being produced on an hourly if not secondly basis by some of the same producers, it is hard to sound unique. I still like the song though, so it’s all good.

I really like Nicole since day one with Eden’s Crush. Even then I knew that she could make it in this industry. She’s pretty and she has a great voice. If it wasn’t for her and Melody PCD wouldn’t even did that well. Even though they are good dancers. I wish her so much luck and success with this solo debut, it’s a rough business out there.

72.

ms dynomite

Monday, August 6, 2007 /

Unique, I understand music is music. What Im saying is that people are blind if they dont see that black women are disappearing from the music scene, with the only ones that are really popular right now being beyonce and rihanna, and MAYBE ciara, though not really as much as Beyonce/Rihanna. You cant tell me you dont notice the lack of black women as love interests in music videos by bobby valentino and fabolous. Like Amy Winehouse; this toothless white woman is seen all over black celebrity websites yet NO mention of other just as talented black females like india.arie, heather headley, etc etc. We get Corrine Bailey Rae maybe, but she’s mixed (we wont get into that).

Make no mistake. Polow da Don even bragged in King Magazine that he was the first to “Take White girls to Black clubs and give them that flava”. Black girl flava that is. He took them to the clubs to watch how the Black girls do it because history has show us time and time again, that White people who can emulate Black people will sell more records. Just ask Elvis and Eminem. Nicole is a product of that reality. Unfortunately black ppl are more supportive of a non black musician doing black music than a black musician doing black music. One must ask, why is that. Ciara gets hated on for not being able to sing and Gwen Stefani is praised. HMMMMMMm

73.

Im the only polar bear up in this bitch

I do see this single on the Top 100! It’s gonna be on the countdown on Kiss FM stations across the country. Does that make the song good? No. Does this song appeal to the general market? Yes!

That being said she’s just doing what she needs to to make a living. I can’t nor can anyone else single handly stop the production of lame music. Other than to not support it with your dollars.

Lastly, I say enjoy the fame and money while you can, because beauty fades.
I’m not hating. It’s just that most of the comments have some sort of reference to her beauty. It seems the being physically attractive makes it appectable to be a decent singer with no orginality.

Monday, August 6, 2007 /

okay i understand your views and everyone has a rite to the own opinion. but the problem with the indusrty is its blending, its mixing, evoulving with every year that passes. i complety agree with the amy whitehouse coment she’s an un explained mistery and being from the uk myself i am embarrassed and apologise. gwen and ciara can not even be put in the same catogory gwen is a product and ciara is an arist . its just this whole ‘white women cant do it’ thats the comment that throws me because i believe real music comes from within and now days you can spot a real from a fake and black women will neva fade in this industry. because people like beyonce, missy, keri, eve, mary j,alicia(bi racial, yes but still black) monica, and may i add the best the only aaliyah and more will come. r’n'b plays a big part in my life and i look up to all these women and respect them. colour dont come into it. and the elvis and eminem remark i look at them an no way do they emulate anything but there passion for the music that they love and choose to express in the way they feel is rite 4 them. thanks for posting bk ms d. you can see we both care a great deal for the music and care about its future, i send respect to you. x
