New Song: Nicole Scherzinger – ‘By My Side (Ft. Akon)’

Nicole Scherzinger

Despite being the target of accusations by her former backup singers band members, a new track as emerged from Nicole Scherzinger. The Akon-assited song is entitled ‘By My Side’. There is no word on whether this will be included on her upcoming solo project, ‘Her Name Is Nicole’, which is set to hit stores this year.

Backed by such solid production and thumping beats, one would assume that Nicole has a hit on her hands. However, the hook is almost inaudible and very difficult to understand. Furthermore, her voice in the chorus sounds like she was trying very hard to imitate Leona Lewis. Add that to Akon’s surprisingly lazy and uninspired verse, and I can easily see why her solo album is yet to hit stores. Next.

Hit or Miss?

    Pretty girl …nice voice but can she sing LIVE solo????? Does she have any talent really????

  5. Kyus93 January 11, 2010

    She is talented, she’s an amazing singer and dancer. The problem lies with her stealing the spotlight and lording it over the other Dolls. I like this song but she needs to boot Akon off of her song, I hate his voice!

    who payin for this trick studio time..hang it up!

  7. Lauri January 11, 2010

    Ehm, it’s actually called “On My Side” and it didn’t make the tracklist for “Her Name Is Nicole” back in 2007. It’s old.

  8. netta January 11, 2010

    this girl definitely cant sing!!!!have you ppl heard her live?????????? why she still putting out songs nobody knows!!! her last album was not good at all and ppl thought that because she had a song with TI that it’d make a dif? i know that her name is nicole and i know that she needs to stop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. shelly-chelle January 11, 2010

    silly of nicole to think that she could go solo and actually succeed? ha! didn’t she try this before and it didn’t work? #hositdown!

  10. HAHAHA January 11, 2010

    yea Nicole isnt my girl like that anymore…most people aint know but before the Pussycat Dolls she was on a show called Popstars and it was the search to form the next “big” girl group and although they flopped, she was the BOMB diggity in Edens Crush…NOW its like what happend? You dont share the spotlight, you are now carrying a “diva” attitude reportedly from a million gossip sites, and u suck singing live by yaself! if yall dont believe me look up her performances of “Whatever Ya Like” and “Baby Love” HORRIBLE! Not tryna trash the girl cuz im sure some of this hype around her are and maybe in fact rumors but in order 4 her 2 create a sturdy fanbase who WONT fall or turnback from her she need to come correct next time around 4real…..but cute song and Akon boo? really? uh-uh…gotsta go!!

  11. G.LaSalle January 11, 2010

    This song is trash. #tryagain

  12. Ash Jones January 11, 2010

    actually i quite like this song…. its half descent. and makes me wonder why was it never released? this is defo first single material…

    Schzngr’s album might have been half descent… just imagine “By My Side” as the first single, “Just Say Yes” as the second, “I’m a Cheat” as the third, “Power’s Out feat. Sting” as the fourth, “Save Me From Myself” as the last with “Happily Never After” serving as its b-side.
    even heidi montag has her album coming out b4 schrzngr even though her songs flopped harder…

    rather than leaking this should have been given to leona lewis to rework and feature someone like Maxwell or Trey Songz for her album ‘Echo’

    oh what a shame.

    LOL poor girl has holds the record for the Longest Album Push-back in history! previously held by Keri Hilson but hers saw a release date last year.
    “Her name is Nicole” was suppose to be released 3 years ago. I think Nicole should realize that she NEEDS the girls to get fame. even more than they need her.

    This performance gets me rollin’ EVERY TIME! so embarrassing.. she’s horrible LIVE!

    poor girl still holds*

  15. trucie January 11, 2010

    Regardless of what others might think, I think Nicole is the best singer in the group. I just can’t get behind Melody yet until I hear a good single, and one where we doesn’t sound like Christina Aguilera so much. Until that point, Nicole is my girl. F*** the group, she really doesn’t need them.

  16. Anthony January 11, 2010

    ya’ll some haters.

  17. JAIMIE January 11, 2010

    WHERE IS THE KELLY ROWLAND ANNOUNCEMENT????????????

  18. 123 January 11, 2010

  19. Dom January 11, 2010

    Y’all are hating. This song is gd.

    Y’all are ready to support melody n the rest of da girls in da pussycat group, wen u havent even hear them sing a whole song properly or seen them attempt to try somerhing fresh individually… Yet hate on nicole who is on her grind trying to make it.

    Tbh melody cant sing live either. She sounds horrid yellin and screaming her 2 lines on awards shows. B*tch need to deliver her 2 words in tune before she tryna b startin somethin’

  20. babysofie January 11, 2010

    if yah can listen to rihanna
    then you can listen to nicole
    she definitely is a better singer than riri
    but she did sound bad in those performance
    hopefully she will do better
    people go hard on her without even knowing the truth
    i hope her album does well

  21. babysofie January 11, 2010

    people get mad when artist in a group want to go solo
    we are not the one’s who have to share our cut of the money, we are not the ones who have to deal with all of those different personalities, so who are we to judge
    we wont know the whole truth, its sad when groups have to break up b/c of so many clashes and im sure all these rumors & gossips dont help the situation
    people like pink, beyonce, kelly rowland were all in a group and they all stuck out and went and did their thing, you cant live in some group or someone else’s shadow for the rest of your life, sometimes you think that this is the worst thing that can happen to you until you go out there on your own, maybe that’s what all parties involved need in order to grow individually

  22. Ash Jones January 12, 2010

    Well said Babysofie!!!

  23. Aryo January 14, 2010
