I thought the same thing too

He might been her manager

@@kimberlyarrington5721 yes, but we can assume Nicole Scherzinger wasn't rich at the time, and so she probably didn't have a manager at that point

That’s what I said! Honestly, I could definitely see Nicole with Black Eyed Peas. She would’ve fit in well... no offence to Fergie.

If anyone’s wondering, her boyfriend was the frontman for 311, so he wasn’t her manager. Maybe just a bit controlling?

they're not singers though, and I dont think its right to push them to be something they're not. whatever it is is up to them.

THIS!!! It was no comeback at all since they wanted to reuse the same recipe... I really wished that they would’ve sang together...

I just think think they should've rebranded

​@@dannypan1454 melody, jessica, and carmit held down some bridges. they couldv've been the go-to bridge and chorus singers on all the tracks but you'd have to pay them more

@@dannypan1454 JESSICA, CARMIT AND ASHLEY CAN SING. PLUS JESSICA HAVE 3 #1 SONGS ON BILLBOARD CLUB CHARTS. AND NICOLE?????

all the girls were to sing but Nicole was it's beyonce with melody thorton as it's kelly rowland

Same thing with destiny child when they debuted it was Beyoncé and the girl

It wouldn't be as catchy and they sang every once in awhile but not often so they couldn't just be back up dancers

OMGGG LMAOOOOOO but seriously jokes aside several members of the group could sing.

bc back in those days girl groups were EXTREMELY marketable.

This is the answer. I never saw the artist, the expression in her, rather a good reproduction, a decent presentation. I think she just enjoys pure attention and a good vocal workout (plus the g-list celeb status) and that's it. You don't have to write your own songs to be an artist, but you need to know what to show. You put it so neatly tbh

Very true

same thing whith britney (although she is such a great dancer/performer) I could forgive her for being a terrible singer because she had star power

So true

Spilled diamond liquid

They all could sing however Nicoles manager was protecting only Nicole

😂 Ikr

But the payments girl? Those btchs are hella expensive for a back-up dancer

FACT. ♥️

🤣🤣🤣🤣

this comment made me laugh 😭

What about melody??

@@miahthepisces3813 sounds bad but I'm not even sure which member she was, Nicole was the only one I actually knew by name

@FactoryOfSuffering1977 Girl groups are either sexualised by their management or held back. Little mix for example has been held back by their shitty , good for nothing managements.

@@TheJrockfreak for reference Melody was the one that decided to randomly out-sing Nicole in an award show out of spite for the management.

Yup, a very unethical way to do so considering none of the members agreed and constantly were denied the chance to sing their own songs. I feel like if the members weren’t done so dirty Nicole would’ve had an actual solo career.

@@biomutant1468 They signed a contract and they knew where they were getting it's not like it took them by surprise that their role was being dancers only and sometimes backgrounds vocalists that was the dynamic of the dolls even before they turn into a pop group it's not that hard to understand they were never a conventional or proper girl group

@@jorgevenegas818 not really, the dynamic was decided without asking them, the point “well they signed a contract so it’s okay” is pretty apathetic, many of them if not all complained about having no lines and never being considered in the creative process.

@@biomutant1468 Carmit and Melodie where signed as Vocalist. They both got some small parts, but not enough

I honestly didnt even know any of the other women in the group were actually singers, I just assumed they were dancers

The only songs i liked was dont cha and stick wit u and buttons and that was it lol.

@Jean Sankara They actually got back together (apart from Melody) and released a song last year called React. It made some noise in the UK but that's it. They disappeared after that

@@DanielOkungbowa they disappeared cause corona

@@NotCrazyLimitedEdition right that was a good song

ur everywhere omg

an underrated queen!

JUST YES 🤯

@@patrickm6890 definitely! Her solo albums are amazing

@FactoryOfSuffering1977 I agree, but also After Laughter might be one of my favorite albums of the last decade

Girl WHO????!

For real that dug her grave even further because the fans where so thirsty for sharers vocals that they started hating Nicole even more lol, they don’t realize that it’s ruining her image

@@xs8372 yeah such a shame because their comeback song React was actually really good!

Exactly 💯 somehow your smart enough to understand this, yet her and her team and management don't understand this 😒

@@Rhiannon041 It was Right ✅ I mean there was such potential if changes had been made. Nicole Fked herself for her ego.

And that awful comeback performance oh my god. My ears still hurt

cough cough justin timberlake ruining britney and janets career

I gagged when I heard that because she woulda killed it. She sounds like she could sing my humps

Yes but then we wouldn’t have her in the pussycat dolls I mean that guy sucks but sometimes things happen for a reason

Listen idk Also we wouldnt have Fergie!!!

She played herself

Yea going solo away from that didn’t do anything, don’t hold your breath was her best song.

this is why I feel like Beyoncé did a great job with the way she transitioned from DC to a solo career. DC wasn't dance heavy or focused (ofc Lose My breath is an exception) which is why when she came out a solo artists and was DANCING but also had very stunning vocals and a great artistic direction her overall image as a soloist was much more refreshing for the gp and her fans.

@@natasha8966 And that song is horrible.

Her best solo song is "try with me" but is nowhere to be found in any platform

NIcole is a classically trained singer,I hate to say it but Louis’ first audition proved how goddamn awful his vocals were and they haven’t really improved since...it’s not a fair comparison at all

Pretty decent singers? Nicole’s voice is as good as any of the greats.

@@scottishaidan Allow me to clarify, I meant decent for the 1D boys. Nicole can sing (and perform), that’s a given. Her issue is the second part; a lack of an “It Factor” the public can be attracted to.

@@liyahnicole3049 got you. I do agree. There is something missing I don’t think she is likeable? I know that her stint on X Factor was met with a lot of complaints from people who found her pretentious & self indulgent. But she really does have the whole package just missing the it factor (so maybe not complete).

none of your 1D members can touch nicole vocally

Go watch her "phantom of the opera" performance, it's even better

Maybe she would learn to whisper

@@professional_tool_user wow thanks for putting me onto the phantom of the opera video of hers. How amazing!

This was how close Nicole was to being a Disney princess!

!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes!!

Damn you really met lady Gaga 😭

That hurt my hearts that you dont wanna take photo with her

Well this aged like milk lmao

You're kicking yourself now aren't you? Lol.

Very mediocre

She's a karaoke singer

@@lucyd6094 shutyo bitc h ass up Becka

And Right There. Loved that song and video.

its whats so hard about being a pop star; being talented isn't enough, you need that "x" factor and no one knows what that is.

Ninja Black That's true she had some pretty songs, I really liked her duet with Enrique.

And “your love”!

She can sing, she can dance, she looks great but she doesn't have the IT factor. Men want to do her but girls can't relate. Young people can't really relate. Rihanna is gorgeous but she's girly and relatable. Nicole is not.

@@Starkardur How is Rihanna girly and relatable but Nicole isn’t though lol. Genuinely curious because I can’t seem to understand it. Rihanna’s beauty to me is very intimidating, I never saw her as the girl next door ever. She looks like she’d chew you up and spit you right back out lol. She’s drop dead gorgeous.

@@rukhsanazaidi629 Nicole just doesn’t have the IT factor like they said. She has it all but yet it doesn’t translate well to the masses. Rihanna isn’t really relatable or even attainable for most people. Rihanna honestly doesn’t really even have as much talent as Nicole, but for some reason Rihanna is more marketable and her appeal is greater. She just clicks with the mainstream. Nicole does not for whatever reason. Her solo work just doesn’t catch on

Interesting that 2007 was also a year the music biz really took a nosedive with all these labels folding www.wired.com/2007/12/mtv-calls-2007/ maybe that also played a part

@@rukhsanazaidi629 maybe early in her career with the CoverGirl endorsement, but over time she’s definitely established herself as Bad Girl Riri

Exactly. I dont get why were considering her as somebody who "never took off" on here. She has done some great musical theatre work!

Indeed!

Because she is greedy

Although to be fair, Gwen Stefani who was the lead singer for No Doubt was 35 when she released her debut album.

Nope. An example.. Jennifer Lopez started her music career after 30. There are lots of others too. It’s really just about image, age is irrelevant. But more so an ability to create a connection to people.... Nicole’s brand was cemented as “sexy dancer” and she didn’t have the reinvention/creative power to break out of it.

She’s she definitely should’ve done another album with the Dolls after Doll Domination

the others didnt wanna be on the 3rd album because of the obvious reasons and left the group.

I think that when Jlo started her singing career she was already famous (Anaconda and Selena) + Tommy Mottola really pushed her career and wanted her to succeed. I don't want to sound mean or discredit Jlo, but I think that her relationships also played a huge role on her becoming so famous and big. From Diddy, to his dancer (that was big news back then), Ben Affleck, Mark Anthony: those high status relationships (specially the ones with Diddy and Ben) helped her to always been talked and being on the tabloids, and publicity is always welcomed when it comes to establishing your career. Nicole lacked more production, and support from her label. She had the looks and I think she even dated Lewis Hamilton (he's very famous on sports). However her solo career never took off. I think it has a lot to do with her solo music not being so good.

I saw the video of her doing phantom of the opera. It was amazing. I had no idea she sung opera.

She knows sign language??

I still listen to "I hate this part". It's my favorite song from them.

She will be back on Broadway soon. She's a powerhouse.

Correct. Amazing range, from the Net: 'vocal range video of Nicole Scherzinger, registering 4 octaves range, from D3-G#6 as Dramatic Soprano. The main characteristic of this voice are the powerful low notes, but real high head voices-what she does perfectly.'

Rita Ora is an artist that I would like to learn more about! That's a really good video idea!

I think he already did one on her.

@@tamari1127 he never did a vid on her.

@@thefairyone22 Oh, sorry. I was mixing it up with someone else's vid on here. I'll link it here if you want to check it out. Not sure if it talks about the lawsuit. I'm pretty sure he did though. Thanks for letting me know. :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJh-lLN62t63dI0.html

shes one of the biggest solo female artists in the uk shes doing fine roc nation just failed to break her globally.

if they have an album coming after that awesome song react was released I am so here for it! I grew up listening to them among other singers and female groups!

Still waiting for Jessica to shine on PCD track. SHE CAN SING!!!

It would be nice if the other girls get to sing at least a a few verses on a few songs. All of them can sing and it would be a shame if they don't.

Carmit has that rough voice to die for. Also she looks amazing in red hair she wears.

I agree. It’s rare that someone leaves a group and reaches mega stardom. I would never want to be apart of a group because most end bad and there is ALWAYS one person who gets all the attention/lyrics

@@bre7931 and it’s not that different for boy groups either, Justin Timberlake and Harry styles

Camilla Cabello?

@@imminentdespair7201 She’s definitely not a mega star.

I agree

i agree .. she essentially replaced carmen elecrta when she left the very early stages of the pussycat dolls. Nicole was like the "guest starring celebrity" turned " headlining recording artist of the group" except not too many people knew nicole yet . my point is that is why they built the entire vocal scheme around her voice. when they performed in the lounge with a live singing recording artist only she was the one singing and everyone else was dancing around her. its the burlesque stage plot turned into a music group.

help not nerve😭😭😭😭

Lmao

She has a talent and charisma for me Talent n uniqueness? No just no

True

Facts.

I honestly don’t think lacking vocal talent is a deal breaker to having a good career. It’s more of standing out and she she doesn’t have that . There are many artist that don’t have a spectacular voice but their charisma and likability make up for it .

She was a total package.

LMAIOIAIAISSJ

That old lady always botches people's name

Dula peep

Dead ass, I say her last name the same way. I can never read it as “Sher-zing-er”

THE SHAYDE

Yaaaaaassss!

Yes

Same. I listened to that album nonstop.

I still have that album! I always loved it but had no clue at the time Nicole was in that group! 😳

Girl same. I was glued to that show on the WB!

Yes she has a beautiful voice. But her personality and solo songs are so boring 😪

Bruh I saw her face advertising some pills every day on the underground. Lmaoo

@@Sachianna-pm1df Thats what made me laugh when the vid said she " has anxiety about being too over exposed" Cause this chick tries the most to be everywhere on teh Brit PRess. That £ to USD$ exchange rate works pretty well for her.

and she was advertising yoghurt

I have to disagree on it working with American bands because it actually doesn't work if the band is still going. Nicole did try to make a solo album called "Her Name is Nicole" in which she released 4 singles, including Baby Love. This was supposed to be released before the 2nd PCD álbum, but the singles all failed in the US, causing Nicole to shelve the project. Why? The public wanted PCD, not her. The same thing happened with Next (the r&b group, not the k-pop group). Group member RL released a solo album while he was in the group which had 2 hit singles, but the album flopped because the public wanted Next, not him. Lisa from TLC released her solo album Supernova while she was still in the group, but it failed oversees and didn't even get a promotion in the US. Why? Same problem. Fans wanted TLC, not her. There are some exceptions, like Sisqo from Dru Hill (though his 2nd solo album failed due to his 2 singles failing) and Beyonce from Destiny's Child. For the most part, however, American band members that try to have solo careers while still being in a group doesn't work. It works in Korea, but for some reason it doesn't work in the States.

She did them girls wrong and breaking up the group just proved everything to be true. She was greedy and that's why she went nowhere.

True, she is nothing without the girls.

@@rein2430 She didn't break up the group though? After the second album, she was literally the only one still in the group, all other girls left the group. The producers thought about hiring just new background dancers, but decided to just completely disband.

@@spalman100 she did play a part though

@@spalman100 yea because they were tired of the bullshit

Nah

I love her solo songs! Whatever you like, right there, baby love, don’t hold your breath...

Fergie got the character. Never loss of confidence hahaha

Right? No one said it would be easy

Bro, I TAPED the finale 😂

I thought her and jlo were the same person

me too when I saw one of them advertising trainers. Can't remember the brand.

Without Fergies personality i think the dynamic woulve been more (dare i say) boring.. And maybe the public wouldnt have been as captivated. Will.i.am had a clear vision with what he was doing with the group and i doubt there wouldve been much difference sonically.. Also Fergies “The Dutchess” really pushed them in to A-listers

Oh i forgot the Peas and Nicole have song together, its called Wings and i love it!

True!!

Yes this is off and incorrect

They’re all starting to look the same as they age tbh

Lol obviously

Thanks I noticed too

theRealCarmit SO GLAD YOU’RE BACK ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

and everyone else before and since

Really?!

It was

There’s absolutely no proof of Nicole being a bitch...all of the members with the exception of melody (but even her) have no issue with her..that’s why they came back

@@blahblah1939 people like to talk so much shit lol

i don't know your intentions behind this but she was poor throughout her childhood she just made a career for herself as a teenager.

@@mariszn9623 yes BUT teenager is STILL a KID, sooooo my statement stands correct, I never said her whole childhood she was rich, but yes she has been rich since a kid (teen)

I guess she tried but didn't pay off, or maybe she missed a sacrifice who knows lol

@@luiscobos7481 I believed the noped the shit out of there By the way she called it out

U can still sell your soul and never take off. That’s how evil they are😂

And the whole media machine labeling the star and the other back up dancers who lipsinc . Its not helping her at all

I think some ppl don't like her because of her role in the group. The other girls never got to shine. It's a group every member should have a chance to show their skills.

And it backfires.

@@tinachristine4573 it really did. I think she genuinely thought she would be the breakout Beyonce of the group 🤣😂🤣
