- Nicole Sherzinger rose to international pop stardom as the front woman of the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole always wanted to be a solo artist and she saw the Pussy Cat Dolls as the perfect opportunity to launch her career. Unfortunately, it didn’t exactly go as planned.

I was disappointed when the pussycat dolls tried to come back and nothing had changed nicole was still doing the all the vocals.
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?????
*"Her then boyfriend denied the offer."* And who tf is he to make that decision?
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?
My question is : why yall give the mics to the backup dancers when they barely sing? They should take those mics, let them dance behind Nicole and changed the group name to Nicole and the backup dancers
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.
She has the looks and the talent but that doesn't do anything for you when there is no artistic direction or identity.
For example, Rihanna is not the best vocalist/performer but the way she knows how to be different and stands out amongst the greatest is the "it" factor that makes a star.
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
"I want a solo deal as well" GURRLLLL you were solo the whole time, you just had background dancers
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. ♥️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Pussycat Dolls could've made such a new huge comeback if they rebranded themselves as equals and all received a similar amount of singing parts but they just came back in 2019 with literally the same Nicole being #1
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
the “pussycat dolls” is basically just a marketing name to sell nicole’s solo career. she said herself she does 95% of the vocals on their albums.
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
I haven’t heard of the Pussycat Dolls in years...
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
She has the same “problem” as Louis, (kinda) Niall, and Liam from 1D. They’re pretty decent singers objectively. However, it’s clear they don’t have the same star power without the band. Some people need a supporting cast to shine. You can be talented but some people just lack the It Factor other people have.
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
She played Moanas mom, and I really do remember thinking “wow! her mom can sing”. The woman is really sweet and talented and it always pains me to see talented as people fall through the cracks.
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!
!!!!!!!!!!!
Make a video on Ms. Hayley Williams pls
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????!
According to the DOLLS....
she “executive produced” and recorded vocals for that first album by herself for a reason. She didn’t reach out to anyone for help. So why should it be renamed Nicole and dolls when she was never asked to take on that responsibility. Those girls can sing. All of them. She took on that responsibility because she wanted too, not because she had too. The member Melody spoke a lot about this before and after her departure
Yes!!
She was the Pussycat, and the other girls were dolls.
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.
men will really stunt your careers if you let them! Imagine looking back at how big the Black Eyed peas became and knowing that you missed that opportunity because a man held you back 😭
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
her solo career was with the pussycat dolls since she sang alone in every song, so when she went solo, it just felt like the pussycat dolls without the dancers at the back, she can sing her ass off though 💖
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
I remember going to see PCD live and Lady Gaga was the opening act, she only had just dance out at the time and no one knew who she was and the crowd was literally empty when she was on. During the interval she was at the bar and my MUM got a picture with her, i didnt because i was like.... who is she? lmao Im so embarrassed looking back now. She was the sweetest ever tho. She gave me a hug even tho i didnt want a picture with her.
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.
The rumors of her getting special treatment really tarnished her image. She became unrelated.
Some of her singles like “Poison”, “wet”, and “don’t hold your breath” are rlly good but she obviously didn’t have the solo marketing power to take off
and baby love 😍
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”!
I was surprised when she didnt really succeed as a solo artist around like 2007. The songs were good, she was gorgeous and she had a swag and star quality about her and was a very good performer. I loved that song Baby Love she had.
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
She should have waited for a 3rd PCD album and then go solo to fully establish herself. I know it's been years, but Pussycat Dolls were pretty big then so she should have waited. Also, she was 30 when she left to do her solo stuff and with this ageist business she was probably seen as too old. Shame, she's mad talented.
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.
Simple answer: Marketing, a poorly marketed artist won't blow up
Honestly her solo studio work is mediocre.
Very mediocre
She's a karaoke singer
Right There is a banger 💅
@@Kabkabmbujimayi stfu she's an amazing vocalist, you can't deny that.
@@lucyd6094 shutyo bitc h ass up Becka
Nicole can sing, dance and has an amazing stage presence and good looks, I think she's one of the examples that being talented isn't enough for Hollywood and the general public, you have to have some luck, star power and a great team behind watching your back too and unfortunately her team failed her and she maybe didn't know what else to do to stand out after PCD as a solo act and be able to win the public, many other incredibly talented artists like Jessie J, Little mix or leona lewis also couldn't gain the fame they expected and deserved, they got stuck in the "famous but not legendary yet" stage of their career
Because she is greedy
I was totally obsessed with PCD's music! They used to be my jam when I was 10 😂😂 good times
She will always be an underrated icon and versatile singer through the genres. I still sing boomerang years later.
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.
I just wanted to add that she has classical training. She sang The Phantom of the Opera, Memory from CATS and Don't Cry for me Argentina in front of the creator of the musical Evita, Andrew Lloy Webber. Her vocal register is INSANE
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.'
to be honest when i was younger i remember seeing a music video of hers on tv and thinking "oh it's a new pcd song". years later i heard it again and realized it was a solo? ...yeah that says it all
Shes done so well in theatre which is a much more credible career path than a pop career
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!
The problem is once you've gone solo from your group you're essentially competing with your previous success, which most soloist can't overcome
If the pussycat dolls would of been fair and allowed all the members to shine, I believe her solo career would of took off. The group made her appear self serving and all about herself. Plus she was already the leader so in a way we expected her solo work as well to match the PCD vibe. However she went a different path and I believe that's what hurt her in the long run. People just didn't get it. on top of the diva rumor and not having stand out hits. Now in europe she actually did very well solo wise. just not so much in the states. But I'm glad she has shined in many different areas not just singing. She won dancing with the stars a british talent show, shes a judge, has done broadway and even got to sing with the broadway leads from phantom of the opera. The girl is a winner! She is by far the most underrated pop star of our generation
Okay but- her signing Opera was soo underrated!
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??
do a video on RITA ORA - And her lawsuit with rocnation. It seems like everyone forgot about her
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. :) th-cam.com/video/R2NaPIuxSDY/w-d-xo.html
shes one of the biggest solo female artists in the uk shes doing fine roc nation just failed to break her globally.
According to Carmit and Jessica in an interview before Covid-19 they have an album ready that was supposed to be released in 2020. So we might be getting more PCD this year
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 honest to God just think some girls have it and others don't. It's not just talent, you need somebody who believes in and is willing to invest in you. With the exception of Diana Ross and Beyoncé, I can think of very few women who left girl groups to great solo success. If Diana Ross birthed a mold, Beyoncé followed it to a T and nobody else quite has since.
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
She just doesn't have the "it factor". Plus being beautiful and vocally talented isn't enough, Gotta have the complete package.
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.
Damn, always fealt she was underated, she is so naturally talented, also good on the factor judge.
"nicole & the pussycat dolls" would be such a good name!!
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.
nicole's baby love is still a serve
Yaaaaaassss!

Dead ass, I say her last name the same way. I can never read it as “Sher-zing-er”
THE SHAYDE
She looks good for her age doe 🤪
Yes
Solo career? We missing something here.
Pussycat Dolls is her solo career like 99% is her voice.
For me, she just doesn't stand out...She's has a incredible voice, but no charisma.
Yes she has a beautiful voice. But her personality and solo songs are so boring 😪
Nicole = Charisma ❌
Uniqueness ❌
Talent ✔️
Nerve ✔️
help not nerve😭😭😭😭
Lmao
She has a talent and charisma for me
Talent n uniqueness?
No just no
True
I loved “Right There” by her and 50 Cent
Can you please talk about Amerie?? She had so much potential and then disappeared. I recently heard one of her hits “fall In Love” as a sample for an Ariana Grande song.
I think it’s so funny that everyone claims that the other girls should have lines, but none of those people cared about their solo careers. Sure, they probably didn’t have good marketing or radio play, but it’s the internet era. If you’re such an advocate for them, you should follow their solos, but no one really does. So you could definitely say the groups success was basically because of Nicole. And yet ... her solo career didn’t blow up either, it’s a weird situation. I agree that they really should’ve given them SOME lines, then people wouldn’t be so hyper focused on their relationship. There are some K-pop groups with that dynamic (that have one or two really strong vocalists and the rest is mostly there for their dancing and stage presence) and it works just fine
In my opinion the proplem with American bands is that they only had to make albums as a band (In general not just for PCD). They could also release their solo albums in between which would make the group go longer. The thing i like in the Korean industry is that they have a freedom to release solo mixtapes or collabs with other other artists or unit songs within the group which make everyone more happier and they dont get bored with each other this way. I think it is a perfect way to satisfy each member and make the group healthier. It would also work with American bands as well. Because after some time the people who get more attantion want to go solo and shine alone which becomes a problem.
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.
I wonder what sound BEP would’ve went if Nicole was the member instead of fergie. They definitely will still go very mainstream sonically but with nicole I think there would be more R&B and Hip-Hop influences than the generic EDM/Pop songs that they made in their career
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!
Nicole Scherzinger is so underrated.
She recently won a prestigious Olivier award for musical theatre in the UK, so she still is a singer
I remember her from “Eden’s Crush”😂😂
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!
You hit the nail on the chalkboard saying PCD WAS her solo career. It’s a shame the other girls never got their own moment to shine in the group, with the exception of Melody. I hope this time around the other members have solos and not let it become The Nicole Show 2.0!
Don’t Hold Your Breath is an amazing song. She deserved solo success.
Imagine how huge her career couldve been in the Black Eyed Peas... Im happy tho she didnt cause Fergie fitted the role perfectly
Fergie got the character. Never loss of confidence hahaha
Melody Thornton and Carmit Bachar sang backing vocals too, with Melody showing her vocals occasionally on a few songs, Nicole didn’t do all the backings alone
That’s why Melody never came back, they never gave her a chance when she was the only vocalist that wasn’t a dancer, but she did really well with the choreo she was taught.
Ashley and Jessica would also sing the backing sometimes
I've been WAITING for this one! 🙌🏿
I honestly think it has to do with management and her team because her solo music is amazing.
Nah
I love her solo songs! Whatever you like, right there, baby love, don’t hold your breath...
In the UK she’s kinda a big deal cos she was a judge on the x-factor for a while
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 love how you mentioned her recovery being a major achievement ❤️
I watched every episode of Pop Stars and got their CD the day it came out.
Bro, I TAPED the finale 😂
Y’all saying Nicole’s solo career never took off but.....literally the pussycat dolls is her solo career,all the other guys did was dance and do backup once every blue moon. What’s strange to me is that everyone knows NIcole is the PCD.....yet still see her as somewhat apart of that group...when there was no group...it was just her...it’s so confusing
Make a video on Marina, since a lot of fans keep asking her to go back to her 'Electra Heart' era everytime
1. she played doll domination for the girls because most of the songs were from her failed solo album.
2. They were supposed to Asia was supposed to start a new direction for the group.
3. The reason Nicole was pushed to the front is her manager was their manager, which created a conflict of interest. She was able to work out extra perks, like having her bus and built-in studio.
4. There were originally supposed to be 12 members in the group. The only girl hired as a background dancer that made the final 6 was Kimberly. Melody and Carmit we're supposed to sing lead and Jessica and Ashley we're background singers.
4. They about to be called “The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole” but the other girls said No and refused to resign for another album.
5. Melody recorded solo songs with Timberland, for example “painted windows “, but it was recorded with Nicole on lead. And Melody doing the bridge. With Ashley, Kimberly, and Jessica singing the harmony.
Look up Nicole's version of Phantom of the Opera, amaaaazing!!!
She failed because her reputation was tarnished by her own actions. Throughout the Dolls era, there were so many rumours that she was mean to the other members and it was quite obvious in the songs and videos that she was "stealing the shine" - so when the public saw her go solo, they not only had the resentment of her breaking the group they loved up, but also the expectation placed on her to walk the walk.... and that expectation was just too much to live up to (+ your reputation being torn) - it just makes for an uphill battle.
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
Saw this after seeing her version of Never Enough in BBC. She was amazing! As always.
She's still a better looking Kim Kardashian
They’re all starting to look the same as they age tbh
Lol obviously
Right Here, Whatever U Like, Don't Hold Your Breath are still forever bops 😌🔥🎶🎵🎶
The first album has Carmit and Melody singing a bunch of parts. On The second album every member had their solo track. To say Nicole did all of the background singin', is simply untrue.
True!!
Yes this is off and incorrect
She’s very underrated
There's just nothing that ever really stood out about her. Yes, she has a fantastic voice, but so do so many other singers. And that her solo music was very "meh" didn't help.
Eden’s Crush “Get Over Yourself” is a classic.
The other girls in the group had soooo much potential, I loved their individual songs on the second album. In hindsight, I guess they got those individual songs on the second disc to try and keep the group together because nicole dominated all the songs. I actually wish they did include the other girls more, they were also talented.
*Pls make a video about Poppy* 😍🥰
She has went through so much and changed a lot over the years and is doing remarkable. She has switched between genres multiple times and has found success in all of them. She went from an internet enigma to a well established singer/song writer. She escaped an abusive relationship and has triumphed in life and is now engaged to ghostemane and doing great in her career.. on top of that she even got nominated for a Grammy for her song! Hope you'll consider this since you do other smaller artists.
7:48 They TRIED to do that towards the end of the Pussycat Dolls' World Domination era. The last two singles, "Jai Ho!" and "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" were released as The Pussycat Dolls feat. Nicole Scherzinger, but that upset the other girls.
He forgot to mention Carmit. She was in the group too lol.... well, up until the second album lol
Thanks I noticed too
theRealCarmit SO GLAD YOU’RE BACK ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Her way of speaking is very offputting, "I had my talent, I am a workhouse, they were rolling their eyes"... hopefully she does become less self centered.
Right? No one said it would be easy
Great video. I always wondered what went wrong with her career. I watched her on X factor and she can hit those incredible high notes so easily. She’s gorgeous, tall, can dance and has such an amazing personality. After watching this and Jessie J’s video it makes me realise how much important your label company, your team especially marketing, producers are important. I always found Nicole to be so much better than Jennifer but I get that it was not lack of talent just lack of timing and poor management.
Plz plz do a video about British pop star pixie Lott, she is famous everywhere in the world other than the big USA. She deserves so much more recognition and has the looks and talent to crack America, this would honestly make my life 😂❤️❤️
Even back then people could tell she was a diva just based on the PCD dynamic. I don’t feel bad her career didn’t take off after, she came out way better than the other girls who made hardly no money and got no exposure.
I remember seeing the Pussycat Dolls as a opening act for Britney Spears. They were the shit over 10 years ago.
It's a pity her career never took off like Beyonce.
I still throw on Days of the New II (Green). Her backup vocals really help make that album a very underrated, obscure one. She was only a teenager at the time. NS fans should check it out if they haven't
It's kinda sad bcoz Nicole Scherzinger can easily outsing other current artists we have nowadays 😔
A tv show called "Pop Stars..." It's hard to imagine something more Y2K era than that
it's sad because she is really talented
If you watch her documentary you will understand why she didn't succeed as a solo, she was truly ambitious to be an solo artist since the first time she got in a band. The pcd could make more if wasnt bcs of her ambition.
Hello? Carmit was an original PCD. They fired her because of her age. Carmit was another vocalist and then hired Melody to help with the lead vocals, but Nicole’s insecurities and jealousy didn’t allow it. She threatened to leave the group and requested her own tour bus away from the other girls. The other girls were close and good friends while Nicole was disliked by the girls
Thank you for the effort of making this video.
I simply love her music, no matter if it's PCD or solo. Her most underrated album "Big Fat Lie"(2014) is actually my favorite album besides Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP"(2013), No Angels "Pure"(2003) and Little Mixes "LM5"(2018). As well as these albums, "Big Fat Lie" has a solid production and helped me lyrically during harsh times in my life.
I know that there are many albums with way more lyrical content by another artists. But these albums just fit perfectly in their time and are the most rememberable and remarkable albums of their time, at least to me.
Apparently she didn't sell her soul.
Her words
Kinda.
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😂
her phantom of the opera performance is just so BREATHTAKING! She can keep up with the performance of the 4 phantoms who are seasoned musical performers
honest ur videos are why im still sane
Considering the songs she turned down, I don’t think she knows a hit when she hears it.
I can’t imagine Britney singing When I grow up, especially since she’s already been rich and famous since she was a kid
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)
Killer Love is actually a really good album. I found that when I rearranged the tracklist I was able to enjoy it a lot more.
When I was in middle school I thought Nicole & Kim K were the same person 😩😂
I thought her and jlo were the same person
me too when I saw one of them advertising trainers. Can't remember the brand.
Honestly you’d think PCD would’ve taken cues from said Destiny’s Child, Spice Girls or of the now numerous kpop girl groups where everyone has to sing. It doesn’t make sense to be called a group but she’s the only one that sings. Pussycat Dolls was her solo career so she needs the Dolls. Plus the only song by her by herself that I like is Right There
honestly a lot of her songs slap ngl
It was probably her Karma since she was such a b to her group mates.
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’d love if you did a video on the woojin situation, I feel like you’d give good views and insight on it!
I love Nicole so much! She’s definitely at her best as one of the dolls. Part of what hurt her solo endeavors is that she didn’t push to change her sound because honestly the dolls’ identity was her. Thought I would add that Killer Love is on streaming in the US now. I recommend it as the unofficial third PCD album. The Eden’s Crush album is good too but it’s not on streaming.
Also I feel like her ability to dance like she does while having the vocal ability she has is kinda underrated. She kinda ended up the Jessica Simpson (by comparison to Britney and Xtina) to Rihanna, Ciara, and Beyoncé.
