HOT OR NOT: NICOLE’S “PUAKENIKENI”

♫ Nicole Scherzinger ft. Brick & Lace – Puakenikeni

Nicole’s already had 2 failed singles this past year, so her team resulted to sticking some tracks up on her official site, hernameisnicole.com, and having some of her fans vote on what the next single should be. Among these tracks were the Akon-produced, “Puankenikeni.” It also features a cameo from Konvict signees, Brick & Lace. And it seems to be the winner. If you’re unfamiliar, the puakenikeni is a beautiful Hawaiian flower. So it seems as though Nicole is paying homage to her heritage.

“Puakenikeni” is the third single from the lead Pussycat Doll’s debut solo album, Her Name Is Nicole. I can’t say whether I like or dislike the song, but I will say that I think that this is what they should have been going for straight from the beginning. People know Nicole for dancing, and I think that if she puts out a solid dance video for the track, it may be good for her.

  2. Mr. 22

    I LIKE IT. IM REALLY NOT SURE WHY RADIO ISNT TAKING TO NICOLE’S SINGLES. “WHATEVER U LIKE” WAS MY SHYT!! IT WAS MY SEXY SONG ALL SUMMER. “BABY LOVE” IS MY SONG TOO. IT STARTED TAKING OFF AT POP, BUT THEN JUST STOPPED. IT WAS A CUTE LITTLE LOVE SONG. I THINK THE VIDEO MAY HAVE HINDERED IT SINCE IT WAS THE FALL AND THE VIDEO AND SONG ARE SO SUMMERY..

  3. What the fuk did I just listen too? :/

  4. QUEEN OF FASHION AND MUSIC

    SONG IS WWWWWHACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

  5. Nicole may be having a rough start, but since she, Keri & Timbaland have just shot the video for “Scream” & it’s Tim’s next single she will be back on the radar ’cause that song is HOTTT!!!

  6. CLEARMINDED

    Another flop. People just aren’t feeling her solo act. It seems derived and contrived.

  7. yanga

    i agree with Adrian Clyde… feeling this tho…

  8. Van

    I don’t like this song. It does not move me. This song requires no thought,and has no substance. I have heard the same melody in every pop song. [: -(

  9. What? People know Nicole for dancing? She can’t dance. When I watched her perform solo she was a no no……… Not a fan. I wish her well……

  10. GreatestLoveOfAll

    PUKE-A-WHAT??!!

  11. Maybe a HOT video MIGHT make me like the song. It’s a hard as hell title to pronouce that’s for sure. I’m still rooting for your Nicole.

  12. Nice song.

    Sidenote:
    I ain’t ever see another Blk man as proud to have been locked up as much as Akon. SMH.

    Brick & Lace are hot but I feel that Nicole Scherzinger is whack as ever. Since she left the ‘Pussycat Dolls’ and TRY to do the solo things…she is a one hit wonder who is not really going anywhere but just keep coming out with songs trying to get eyes on her, she is pretty and thats said

    THIS SONG ABSOLUTELY SLAUGHTERS THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE. IT IS AN OUTRAGE! PUA KENI KENI IS A TYPE OF FLOWER. THE REFERENCES MADE IN THIS SONG DISGRACE ALL HAWAIIANS & ONLY ADD TO STEREOTYPES. PUA KENI KENI IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, REFER TO SEXUAL ACTIVITY OR BEHAVIOR. IT TAKES IDIOTS LIKE THIS, WHO THINK THAT IT IS OKAY TO DESTROY THE LANGUAGE TO HURT THE DYING CULTURE.

    i dont care if people think that she is paying “homage”. if whe was, she would respect it, not destroy it.

  15. CHUBAKA
