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.

  2. I think shes gonna defintly make it BIG TIME. Shes one of the very rare artists that look VERY attractive and have a VERY good voice. You go girl!

  3. LocalCeleb

    IM FIRST! I Dont know about this song…

  4. Feeling this one, I like Nicole. Strong voice and cute to boot. I think she can have a real career in the industry.

  5. LocalCeleb

    Damn… I typed too long… lol

  6. Observer

    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

  7. SEXY LADY..BUT CAN’T SING…SORRY..HOT MESS

  8. 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

    GOOD MORNING CL CREW!!!!

  9. I agree with you BLISS. Her sex appeal might push CD sales, but nothing worth wasting my money on.

  10. WHYLAWDWHY

    She is going to be hot1

  11. ms. syndi

    This reminds me of Kelis “blind fold me”

  12. unique

    cant wait for this project girl got it going on. shes gon’ be a REAL contender. her and keri hilson are guna be the leading ladies of the game. people dont fight it, resistance is futile, lol. support the movement .
    cc

  13. ms. syndi

    I love it when T.I. raps about sex

  14. Q-Daddy

    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).

  15. david

    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

  16. e

    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.

  17. Caramel Barbie

    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)

  18. 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. 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.

  20. Rei

    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.

  21. sxycarmel26

    LMAO@ 19! you crack me up

  22. Rei

    #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.

  23. ITS THE TAKEOVER!!!! YES I AGREE THAT NICOLE HAS THE POWER TO TAKE OVER RECORD SALES! SHE IS FRESH, VIBRANT, AND INNOVATIVE! I AM DIGGIN THE MATERIAL I HEARD FROM HER SO FAR…..SHE IS SO SEXY, DONTCHA WISH UR G/F WAS HOT LIKE ME!, LOL…..SHE DOES NOT SEEM TO OVER DO IT, IT JUST COMES NATURALLY……

  24. The song does not do it for me at all very pretty girl though

  25. 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

  26. @22

    YOU’RE RIGHT….I forgot….

  27. Richaay

    This is great, can’t wait for the video.

    I really hope that she changes her mind and puts Winning Women on there, such a great song, her and Rihanna made.

  28. i remember that episode but didnt even realize it was her@22

    whatever@the song.dont like it but im really excited to hear the song from Ne-Yo

  29. noeatingheretonight

    not feeling this song. it’s whatever to me too…I hope for her that she does well with this album.

  30. Dimples♥

    i like her voice and she beautiful, but she isn’t original

  31. Dame

    I like Nicole from her PCD days. Her cd should be good

  32. 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.

  33. bailey

    PRETTY WOMAN

    BUT I AINT FEELING THESE “OTHER” CHICKS COMING OUT WITH R/B -POP TRACKS

    IT SEEMS TO ME THAT’S THE FORMULA LATELY-A PRETTY CHICK SINGING OVER A NICE BEAT-

    WON’T GET MY MONEY-BUT I’M CERTAIN SHE’LL DO WELL-THE INDUSTRY SEEMS TO BE SURVIVING OFF OF THIS FLUFF

  34. Ce Ce

    I KNOW THAT’S RIGHT OCTOBER 16TH IS A VERY LUCKY DAY AND THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR!!!!!!! :^) OR COURSE IT’S MY B-DAY AND I’LL BE 22YRS. OLD!!!!!!!!!! SO….NICOLE U GO GIRL AND I WILL BE GOING TO COP THAT ALBUM!!!!!

  35. mzsweetface

    Ummmmm, she might want to keep trying. I’m not feeling this track at all.

  36. J-Kin

    That picture is actually on the set of Get Into It, the new CW theme song. Pics from behind the scenes of the Whatever you Like can be found on http://www.myspace.com/officialnicolescherzinger shot by her bff Katie

  37. Moniker

    Sounds too much like “Blindfold Me” by Kelis.
    And I like that song more than this one.

  38. jscene

    I think she’s going to do well….she’s really pretty and she can dance. She actually has talent.

  39. DaNii

    Sounds like a beat Chris Brown’s voice could be on… When this song started I was jammin like ‘Heyyyy’ but then when Nicole started singin I was like ‘Nooooooo!’ LMAO!
    [[Oh yeah, tell me why she looks like a WELL FED Amy Winehouse in that pic!!! Hhahahhahah.]]

  40. She got the looks but the talent…..nah not really.

  41. 18 – you aint the only one!!! this album is going to be FIYAHHH!!!

  42. IAMDARKAQUA

    WAIT A MINUTE!!! I’ve heard that beat on a Kelis track before….

  43. QueenBee

    NOT INTERESTED…WHEN IS BEY’S NEXT ALBUM

  44. Can someone say “fucks for tracks?”

    Not feeling the song at all “hot as a stove?” What in da hell!?

  45. MissJo

    She reminds me of Kim Kardashian in the face, song’s okay….it was “eh” for me.
    Next.

  46. sassysexychick

    not feelin the song but like her voice!

  47. This girl can sang but dammit this song is wack.. she should just stay with PCD.

  48. 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…

  49. 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. C.U. in C.U.

    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”

  51. AntwansEats ItGude

    I like the song catchy!

  52. 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.

  53. 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.

  54. Jashawn

    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?

  55. 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!

  56. Have Not Thought of a New User Name

    Wow maybe it’s just me, but I thought the song was horrible.

  57. A

    this isnt really the biz…but like every other artist she has to release a dancy, club track then in the second single (hopefully) show case the vocals

  58. A

    ew and who is responsible for that hideous promo picture!?!?!?! please choose a new career

  59. 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…
